Under the canopy of the rock, at its base, one can see a sealed door, surrounded by Dendro monuments.

How to open the Inland Sea of Somalaty

To solve the riddle with 4 Dendro monuments, they must be fired in the correct order. It is suggested by the drawings above the monuments, which depict dots in an amount from 1 to 4.

The exact way to activate monuments is as follows:

Totem with 1 dot activate first.
With two points - the second.
With three dots - the third.
Activate the monument with the fourth dot in the picture last.

The first totem is to the right of the dungeon when looking directly at the dungeon door.

The totem with two points is located opposite the first one, on another rock. Turn around and head straight for him.

The third monument stands to the right of the previous one, on the same rock. Turn right to see it and the 3-dot cave painting.

The last monument is mirrored in relation to the third, to the left of the entrance to the dungeon.

After solving the puzzle, the door to the dungeon will be printed.

You can make your teams based on your own lineup of heroes.

If there are problems with survivability, and the squad often dies or loses health from enemy attacks, then it makes sense to use potions to increase elemental resistance - this way the characters will increase resistances and become less susceptible to damage received. But this will only work on those enemies that attack with some element, and not physical. In addition, the element of the potion must match the element that the enemy is damaging.

How to complete the Somalata Inland Sea dungeon in Genshin Impact

The test is a single arena. Activate the launch mechanism in the center and fight 3 waves of enemies. All you need to win 9 monsters, no time limit.

В first wave there will be 2 Electro, 1 Dendro molder and Geo morovik. Control the crowd with Anemo zip ties, Catalyst basic attacks, and field abilities (turrets Fischl, other effects out of pocket). Avoid ramming attack of Geo Morovikas she knocks down. If the team is not pumped enough, then do not use Elemental Explosions and hold them until the last wave.

Second wave carries 1 Electro, 2 Anemo Molds and Dendro Carrots. The tactics are similar, but now keep your distance from the dendro morovikto avoid his physical attack (slap) and Dendro's powerful punches. Dodge his energy balls from a distance.

In the third wave will enter the field sacred horned crocodile. Use the strongest attacks to remove his health and dodge physical combinations of attacks (multiple hits in a chain).

As soon as you remove half of his health, he will try to go into a powerful Absorption form: his crest will become energized, and a Hydro power unit. Use a Hydro attack on the block as soon as possible to break it. If you don't make it in time, the crocodile will absorb the block and become stronger. Approximate block time on the field is about 7-10 seconds.

If the block breaks, the crocodile will be paralyzed and stop attacking. In this state, it is easy to finish him off.

Defeating the Sacred Horned Crocodile will complete the challenge. A reward and an exit point from the dungeon will appear on the arena.
