Keys with notches in Natlan. While exploring the Pyro region, you can find a secret Fatui center where they conduct experiments on dragons. Stop the villains and save the animals by turning off the main machine.
There are no exact clues in the game about where the intricate keys are hidden and what they open. In this guide, we will help you solve all the puzzles in the Phlogiston Mining Research Center in Natlan and get the hidden achievement Righteous Resistance, getting all the keys and freeing the Saurians.
What are the notched keys for in Natlan
Each key is needed to open the door of the Zavrian cart.
They only meet once three kinds:
- Key with notches on the front opens the cage with the yumkasaurus at the entrance to the experimental area of the Research Center.
- Key with notches in the center - a cart with a precious chest.
- Key with notches on the back - a trap for the colochosaurus.
Later in the guide we will explain where to get the keys with notches and how to open all the carts to solve the puzzles in the Fatui Research Center.
Where to Find Notched Keys in Genshin Impact
All of the notched keys in the Phlogiston Mining Research Facility are located in chests in the secret location where the Fatui are illegally holding the Saurians. To obtain them, you must complete several sphere puzzles, defeat enemies, complete a time trial, and explore the entire underground location.
Key with notches on the front
To start from the Mount Coatepec teleport or dungeon "Fiery Ruins" Go down the map. Run past the Fatui lair between the rocks to reach a narrow path leading to the Research Center.
Plan below to the Experimental site. You can pick up in advance Pyrocule on the ledge and kill Pyro the musketeer guarding the valuable box.
Key with notches on the front is in the bottom regular chest - defeat the guard to open the door of the Saurian cart next to the treasury and free Dendro the dragon. You will need him to complete the next puzzle.
Key with notches in the center
Move in Yumkasaurus and carefully walk along the iron pipes ahead, without touching the lava, otherwise the pet will die immediately.
If the Zavrian does die, just wait until his Soul Beacon is restored and transform again.
How to remove the grill
When moving through the pipes, pay attention to false transmission sphere, fallen into the lava. Using the ability of the saurian (E skill), absorb it and then throw it onto the metal platform. Then activate the mechanism and raise the grate blocking the further path.
Where is the key?
Go deeper into the cave - on the way you can get a wonderful and a normal chest by fighting Fatui. From the central platform, turn right and climb onto the platform, where another battle awaits.
Key with notches in the center is located in a rich chest, which is unlocked when you destroy all enemies. You can fight enemies both in the form of a saurian and using regular characters.
If you don't want to leave the dragon's body, grab the barrels of phlogiston and throw them at Fatui. There are many devices nearby for healing pets, as well as other Yumkasaurus Soul Lights, so losing the dragon in battle will not affect further investigation.
Where to find the cart with the precious chest
Open the nearby cart with the precious treasure inside and claim the resources for yourself. In the same cage you will notice a wooden alpaca, referring to the past event "Summer! Dragons? Fairy tale!".
Key with notches on the back
The final item can be obtained after collecting two spheres and inserting them into the central mechanism to disable the Fatui machine. This will be followed by a short combat test, at the end of which a luxurious chest with a key inside will appear.
Where to find spheres to close the mechanism
Explore the cave and find two blue spheres, which will help activate the control s on both sides and turn off the evil machine. To get them, you will have to go through several puzzles with bars and deal with the guards.
Sphere 1
From the previous cart, turn to the distant cave, deal with the bombardier and skirmisher wandering inside. When you are done, you can open a regular chest and take Pyrocule over the pipe, and then spend some time on the sphere from the riddle.
If you take a fake ball right away, the exit will be blocked by a grate. First you need to prop it up.
Get down to the ground and interact with tepetlisaur, who is actively digging in the ground, by pressing the "Chase!" button. Stop him and get a hook that needs to be installed in a suitable place.
Take it off and install the hook on the box, located next to the blue ball. If the animal touches the lava, it may lose the item - then you will have to look for the Dragon Soul Beacon again and return for the hook.
When you're done with the repair, you can pull the cube to the exit - Move away from it and, being a Yumkasavr, use the skill (Eshka) to pull the object. Thus, push it all the way so that it blocks the way and does not allow the grate to slam shut all the way.
Come back and take the sphere - if you did everything correctly, then the lowering gate will get stuck because of the box and there will be a age for the zavrian.
Run to the center of the experimental area and place the first ball to one of the available platforms. It is not necessary to climb close to the mechanism - you can aim and throw the projectile from afar.
Sphere 2
Having placed the first part correctly, unlock the gate, leading to the second ball. Run to the south of the location and fight the Fatui that appear so that they do not interfere with further age. In the cave with the third cart Pull up to the Dendro symbol, hovering high above the stream - then you will be able to reach out and take the blue sphere.
Be careful not to drown the Yumkasaurus, otherwise you will have to look for the Soul Beacon.
Climb onto the platform to the right of the cage with the Saurian and continue along the tunnel to shorten the path to the main location. There is a temporary place the item on the platform and go beyond the rising gate.
Once you reach a small ledge of earth, turn around and absorb the ball, after which the grate will go down again. But now you will be able to carry the last part to the evil machine without any obstacles.
Turn on the emergency braking system
Once you have placed the two spheres, close the device in the center by pressing 2 times and activate the emergency braking system. The combat test will immediately start - hold on for 60 seconds, dealing with Fatui to complete the operation.
You don't have to destroy all your enemies to win, the main thing is to stay alive. You can even push them into lava or throw exploding phlogiston at them. When time runs out, Saurian helpers will run onto the field and it will appear Pyro agent.
Dodge the enemy's fire spear attacks, which glow red on the ground beforehand, and hit the enemy's main figure.
Kill the Fatui boss to complete the challenge and earn the achievement. "Righteous Resistance"... Last key with notches on the back is in a luxurious chest, awarded for winning a battle. Inside it will also be Jade Shard of the Night.
Where to use the key
Return to the southern part of the cave to the third cart, which can be opened with a notched key. Directly above it in the cage Pyrocule will hang - Take it before you leave the location.
Freed from the cage another Pyrocule and you will reach the top of the cliff, where you will receive a rich chest. At this point, the story of illegal experiments will come to an end, and all the animals will leave the research center.
You can return to the location at any time, including by using the open spiritual path.
