First, you’ll need to establish a device uplink at one of the markers on your map. After that, you’ll need to head to Shuffled Shrines, where there will be a ground-level pond among the ruins. Inside that pond, there will be a few pipes that are shooting water out. They look similar to the geysers that appear in the Reality Falls biome, just much smaller.
