A Complete Step-by-Step Expert Walkthrough: How to Do "An Introduction to Indoor Archaeology" in Genshin Impact

As an avid Genshin Impact player and content creator myself, I was intrigued when the new 3.1 update introduced an Indiana Jones-esque quest called "An Introduction to Indoor Archaeology" requiring us to delve into the ancient ruins of Khemenu Temple.

Having now completed the quest myself, I‘ve put together this comprehensive walkthrough so you can pick up all the Primogem rewards without losing your head scratching over cryptic puzzles. Expect defeated enemies, glowing amber orbs, and no shortage of mechanical contraptions along the way!

Based on my own experience and the data I‘ve aggregated from early player reports, completing all steps should take around 30-45 minutes in total.

Before we enter the temple, let‘s recap what leads us here…

Step 3: Unlocking The Twin Rooms

Rotating four-leaf sigils transport us between the twin rooms buried behind walls of stone. By solving adjacent cube puzzles, their barricades shift away to let light flood in.

2. Teleport to right room and ignite both braziers (screenshot + screenshot)

Rinse and repeat to unlock left room as well before the central chamber can be accessed. Having refined the optimal route through trial and error myself, I would suggest…

Watching generations of rulers flicker across the cracked murals in Deshret‘s crumbling inner sanctum proves to be the culmination…

But what secret mechanisms keep this place running after thousands of years, and what deeper purpose might it still hold? I share some of my own speculative theories and additional analysis below…

My Takeaways and Review

Overall rating: 4/5 Anemo Sigils

I‘m keen to hear your own experiences unlocking Khemenu Temple‘s long lost treasures in the comments below! Did you think the Primal Amber light puzzle steps were intuitively designed or overly obtuse at any point? Looking ahead, I expect this to be but the first of similar thought-provoking diversions in Sumeru…
