Power level
Perhaps, by analogy with Luminous stone adjuvant there will be a mechanic tied to power. So far, the developers have only briefly mentioned that when exploring the ruins, the Traveler "may not have enough power" to activate the mechanisms. To move deeper into the ruins, you will have to look for ways to increase it. The Stone Tablet of the Scarlet King tool will be given out for completing the world quest in the desert.
Illusions in the desert
One of the new mechanics, which will definitely cause trouble for all players, will be mirages. The conditions are as close as possible to realism, because even the Traveler can get sunburnt on his head and cause hallucinations. Players will face at least three types of illusions:
- Mirages disappear (scatter) when approached.
- The frescoes appear only at night.
- Transparent walls through which it is impossible to .
Examples of solving puzzles
Three Giant Primordial Torches
This is a big puzzle that shows two new mechanics of the Sumeru Desert at once. To solve it, first find the Primordial Luminary (looks like a small inverted pyramid), approach it and take it to the nearby Replicator Stone (a special luminous platform). The latter will activate and create a Primordial Blue Spark Candlestick on itself.
Walk up to him and press "Unblock" (default F key), then the flame will fly out and head towards the giant Primordial Torch. You just have to follow him to the end. Do the same with the other Replicator Stone to light the second torch.
Now find the last Primordial Candlestick and light the third torch with its spark. The reward will be a precious chest.
phantom drawing
On both sides of the entrance to the pyramid on the walls are the so-called phantom drawings. During the day they are very blurry and you can not interact with them. But at night they show up.
Wait for this time of day, go to the frescoes and press "Touch" (default key F). This will cause the appearance Hermitsthat need to be killed.
To solve the puzzle, do this with both drawings. Reward: normal chest.
Three Pyro Monuments and Dendroculus
Dendroculus is hidden behind transparent walls here. To break them, activate all the elemental monuments nearby. Then the barriers will disappear and the path will open.
Cage of truth and four torches
Climb up the pole with four leaf symbol, take Primordial Luminary and take him to the glowing platform. The platform will have Cage of Truth, tap it (F button).
A yellow crystal will light up above the character's head. It can be used to manifest ghostly objects such as transparent torches in this riddle.
While the crystal is burning, approach each of them to make them visible. It's hard to spot them from a distance. Therefore, be guided by the screenshots so as not to spend a lot of time searching.
After all the torches appear, light them with any Pyro skills. Reward: normal chest.
We hope our guide to solving mysteries in the Sumeru Desert will help you in exploring this new area. The desert region puzzles in Genshin Impact are a mixture of Encanomia and Rift. After the release of the update, this article will be constantly supplemented with examples of solving puzzles.

You're welcome, please ask for help 🙂
I don’t know, this is probably the wrong place to write this, and a year has ed since the topic was opened, but help, I need to pick up an amazing chest, but I can’t because the area is not open. Maybe there is some kind of quest that needs to be completed (the storyline is completely completed) https://ibb.co/K90ZNBZ
to open this location, you need to go through the entire storyline with the Ararans Aranyac's book
I was looking for puzzles with a block of stones that hide something behind themselves, and under this block there is a broken monster triangular mechanism and what needs to be done with those bellows to remove the block. But I didn't find it
you can send the screenshot and map by ing them to a file hosting service and sending a link. I try to help
Were you able to find how to break it?
CELL OF TRUTH. Can anyone tell me how long the effect lasts? Activated on the wall, which should be transparent and now the beam does not . I don't know how to roll back
As far as I know, the effect is permanent. in theory, if there is a cage, then the wall needs to be closed. try ing tech
did you figure it out, otherwise I have the same problem
I recommend writing to technical
Near Hajj Nisut there are 4 primeval hours. I can’t find a guide anywhere on how to get through them, because literally 5 seconds are not enough to fly around all of them and have time to activate. If you look at the map, then 2 pieces are located in the west, one in the north and the other in the south of Khaj-Nisut(not in the building itself, but in the vicinity). When you activate the clock, yellow flowers also appear, with which you can move around. If you have a link to the age of this test, I will be very grateful!
This clock is not a mystery, it just gives flowers to quickly move around the location. unlike puzzles, there is no timer when activated
Oh my god... And I still tried to them...
Me too(((
