Walkthrough of the quest Beyond the Sky in Genshin Impact

Proceeding to the central mechanism with the first fire stone, you will learn from Bona about the need for an offering. In parallel, you will get acquainted with the basic mechanics of collecting and delivering stones with the help of a baby tepetlizaur. Accompany the baby to each of the three remaining stones and complete the path to the central island with the altar of the Primordial Fire.

What to do if the path to the altar is closed

Typically, the main problems arise at the moment when the position of the island is difficult to adjust to the current location of the saurian with the received firestone. In this case, when interacting with "Return to the altar!" a notification appears "The way to the altar is closed, there is no way back". To solve the riddle, let's take a closer look at how to lower or raise the island to the desired level.

Note that the middle island only goes up and down if the path is completed. To do this, match the long part with the lift using the "Rotate Floating Island Mechanism" interaction button.

To collect third stone in the northwest and second On the western island you will need to raise the altar to its highest position:

1. Starting from the bottom, take the lift up to the completed path of the northeastern island. Once you complete the action, you will be on the same level as all the main islands and can collect the first stone.

2. Rotate the floating island so that the path to the island in the southwest is completed.
3. Using the cornsaurus, get to the top of the western island. Use the "Activate Lift" switch to connect the top and bottom of the island and lift the altar. At this point, you will be in a position from which you can deliver stone from the second island.

4. Go to the lift in the northwest and match the mechanism with the long walkway of the floating island. Raise the lift and the island to deliver third stone.

For launching a floating island You need to perform the same actions, but in reverse order - the same switches are used for lifting and lowering.

The video below shows how to perform these steps:

Get the Fire Stone from the floating island in the northeast.

Use any convenient means to get to the island in the northeast, where you will meet a baby Tepetlisaurus at the steps.

Follow your Saurian companion to the altar, then go around the ruins to the right and fight the enemy.

Go to the switch at the top to remove the obstacle in the way of the baby. Open the grate and before giving the command "Return to the altar!", make sure the path is completed.

Return the fire stone to the altar

From the initial position, the altar can be raised with the lift to the level of the eastern island. If the altar has already been raised or lowered before collecting the first stone, use the switches on the other islands to calibrate the height.

Get the Fire Stone from the bottom floor of the floating island in the northwest.

Head to the altar in the northwest to trigger a cutscene where it moves to the adjacent southwest island.

In rare cases, it may happen that the cutscene does not start, and the baby ends up at the very top of the northwestern island. In these conditions, first deliver third stone, raising the altar to a higher position on his own.

Catch the guardian of the mysterious spring who stole the fire stone using the cornsaurus. Go to the open room and activate the elevator to lower the fire stone from the closed room.

Go back, escort your companion to the stone and interact with the switch.

Once at the top, Paimon will let Bona know that she needs to finish building the path to the southwest. If the altar was left at the level of the northeast one with the first stone, it is enough to use the switch. Otherwise, adjust the position of the altar by raising it one position.

Go to the top floor of the floating island in the northwest and get the fire stone.

Proceed to the rock at the top of the northern island and command the cub to return.
