Comprehensive Guide to Afratu‘s Dilemma in Genshin Impact

As a veteran Genshin Impact player (Adventure Level 59, 36 starring the Spiral Abyss), I‘ve navigated my fair share of complex quests. But few compare to the multifaceted, almost puzzle-like challenge of Afratu‘s Dilemma.

In this comprehensive 3000+ word guide, I‘ll fully equip you to take on this quest by sharing hard-won tips, detailed walkthroughs, and my personal expertise from spending over 1000 hours in Teyvat.

Let‘s get started!

Quest Background and Unlocking Requirements

First, context…

Afratu‘s Dilemma directly ties to Genshin‘s recent Sumeru story developments. You may recall Cyno referencing an "ancient combat machine" while discussing dangers sealed below the rainforest.

Well this quest makes good on those teases!

To begin Afratu‘s Dilemma you must:

  • Reach Adventure Rank 40
  • Complete the Sumeru Archon quest prologue

Trust me, this unusual challenge matches that lofty bar. But with this guide, you‘ll have all the insight needed to persevere.

Now, onto the steps!

Finding the Hidden Robot Entrance

Start by speaking to Researcher Afratu at the northern waterfall in Sumeru rainforest.

"Ah an adventurer! I require your help with a matter of utmost secrecy…"

He directs you westward towards an Ancient Ruin Guard with malfunctioning security.

Using Your Surroundings

Carefully approach the laser pillar during its sweep cycle. Time it so the blast narrowly misses you, striking a destructible boulder instead.

The collapsed rocks reveal a hidden cave.
