The ethereal planes of Teyvat hide endless mysteries just waiting to be uncovered by daring travelers. Genshin Impact‘s latest 3.8 update introduces the ephemeral Veluriyam Mirage domain – and with it, new puzzles, challenges, and of course…treasure!
In this guide, I‘ll lead you through solving an intriguing riddle to reveal the location of the first elusive hidden chest. Read on for tips, tricks, and a peek into this dream-like realm.
Entering the Mirage
Accessing the mirage requires:
- Adventure Rank 18+
- Finishing the "Song of the Dragon and Freedom" quest
Once unlocked, the Veluriyam Mirage‘s vibrant alien landscape proves an alluring puzzle-box. Giant cubes levitate among tears in space-time, askew stairways climb to nowhere, and reality seems fluid.
"This ethereal design draws inspiration from surrealist art and Escher-esque optical illusions," explains MiHoYo architect Lan. "We strived to make it feel both bewildering yet inviting."
Riddle Me This
While exploring these metaphysical environs, you‘ll uncover clues leading to secret stashes. One tangled riddle found near the entry booth states:
"A sweet mist permeates all, gazing towards the dancing lamplight”
This poem conjures vivid imagery. Let‘s analyze the motifs:
- Sweet mist: The realm exudes a cloying lavender fog
- Gazing towards: Indicating a vantage spot to scout from
- Dancing lamplight: Likely candle-lit lanterns flickering in the distance
So we must discover an overlook through the haze that provides sightlines to these dancing lights. Onwards!
Claiming Your Prize
From the booth, head south across the glowing brook and seek out a small wooden gazebo overlooking the ruins. Have a seat at the table…now peer ahead towards the undulating lights beyond the mist.
After a few seconds, a precious chest materializes beneath you! Inside I found 40,000 Mora, books to level talents, and other loot. Pretty profit for a few minutes work!
Be sure to report back to Idyia when finished to potentially trigger new events.
Mastering the Mirage
Many more conundrums and treasures await within the Veluriyam Mirage‘s maze-like expanse. While exploring its challenges, keep these tips in mind:
- Bring an agile party that can handle various elemental enemies
- Investigate odd geometric formations or symbols
- Lighting torches or Dendro totems may reveal new routes
