How to find a way down during Beneath the Crystal Rock in Genshin Impact

In your quest to uncover inscriptions during the ‘Beneath the Crystal Rock‘ World Quest in Genshin Impact, you are tasked with the challenge of finding a way down. This can be a tricky objective, especially if you are unfamiliar with the Saurian puzzle type found in Natlan.

Specifically, this guide focuses on the ‘find a way down’ task that occurs after golden patterns emerge from the large crystal in the central room when you interact with the floating pattern.

How to Navigate Down in Beneath the Crystal Rock

Once you have defeated a group of Hilichurls, you’ll enter a room with a yellow barrier at the top. Begin by taking care of the Hilichurls on the lower level of this room. After that, transform into the yellow Tepetlisaurus Saurian located at the bottom, if you haven’t done so already.

With that done, you’re ready to tackle the puzzle.

Steps to Find a Way Down

To successfully find a way down during the Beneath the Crystal Rock quest, follow these steps:

1. Destroy the square symbol on the ground at the bottom of the room and select ‘Investigate’.
2. Transform into a Tepetlisaurus Saurian.
3. Utilize your skill to burrow into the ground.
4. While underground, attack the four shimmering circles.
5. Finally, ‘Check’ the yellow spot that appears.

Interacting with the yellow spot will collapse the ground beneath you, so ensure that you have completed any necessary tasks in the room before proceeding! If you happen to forget to collect something, there’s no need to worry; you can always return later when the path loops back to the large crystal room.

Next Steps in the Quest

After this section, you will need to transform into a Koholasaurus for the next part of the quest, but these subsequent puzzles are generally easier to navigate compared to the previous one.

Be sure to collect the Red Metal Key at the end of the Koholasaurus segment. This key is essential for unlocking a side gate in the room with the large crystal, which leads to three chests: two common chests and one precious chest. The precious chest is particularly valuable, as it may contain an Obsidian Fragment for crafting an Obsidian Ring.

Good luck as you continue your exploration of Natlan!
