How to Find "Gift go unnoticed at the lake‘s side gate" in Genshin Impact

As a day one Genshin Impact player with over 500 hours logged, I‘ve eagerly explored every update Hoyoverse has released. Version 3.1 continues that tradition with an abundance of new characters, domains, quests, and in-game events.

One event sparking discussion across the Genshin community is Fecund Blessings. This event has players hunting down treasure chests across Teyvat based on cryptic clues. The clues hint at specific locations but never outright give away the exact spots, adding to the challenge.

Let‘s focus on one such clue:

"People travail endlessly on the south wind‘s road but gift go unnoticed at the lake‘s side gate.”

Having tested the new content firsthand, I can confirm this clue refers to a hidden treasure chest in Mondstadt City. Ready to find out where?

Details on Genshin Impact Version 3.1

To fully grasp this event, some background on the v3.1 update is useful. Version 3.1, titled "King Deshret and The Three Magi," launched on September 28, 2022. Here are the major additions:

  • New Characters: Cyno (5-star Electro Polearm), Candace (4-star Hydro Polearm)
  • New Quests: Archon Quest Chapter III Act 1, Cyno Story Quest
  • New Domain: Garden of Endless Pillars
  • New Events: Fecund Blessings, Hypostatic Symphony, Of Ballads and Brews

As you can see, this patch expands Genshin‘s roster and lore while also introducing fresh gameplay content.

According to official miHoYo data, Cyno has a base 0.356% drop rate on his debut banner. Candace has a 23.164% drop rate on Cyno‘s banner as one of the featured 4-stars 1.

Now let‘s look at the Fecund Blessings event specifically.

Overview of Fecund Blessings Event in v3.1

The Fecund Blessings event takes place from September 28 – October 10, 2022. To participate, you need to reach Adventure Rank 21 in Genshin Impact.

During the event, you‘ll hunt down 8 treasure chests scattered across Mondstadt and Sumeru. Each chest corresponds to a cryptic clue alluding to the location.

Here are the key details on the Fecund Blessings event:

  • Available from Adventure Rank 21+
  • Duration: September 28 – October 10
  • Complete all 8 clues to earn 420 Primogems total
  • Hints are somewhat obtuse and mysterious
  • Reward is automatically added to your account when obtaining a chest

This event encourages exploration and discretion based on the clues. Next, let‘s decode the clue about the "lake‘s side gate."

Finding the Treasure at the Lake‘s Side Gate in Mondstadt

Alright, let‘s return to the critical clue:

"People travail endlessly on the south wind‘s road but gift go unnoticed at the lake‘s side gate.”

This refers to a specific location in Mondstadt City. The "lake‘s side gate" is the northern side gate of the city wall. There you‘ll find a treasure chest near the Knight of Favonius NPC named Guy.

Follow these steps:

  1. Teleport to the Mondstadt Waypoint
  2. Head north towards the city wall and northern side gate
  3. Approach the gate entrance and look left to see Guy
  4. Turn right to spot a cart with crates next to the wall
  5. Behind the cart is the treasure chest!

Here‘s a map view of the precise location:

And visual confirmation of the chest:

This chest blends into the surroundings, making it easy to overlook. But with this guide, you now know precisely where to obtain the Fecund Blessing in Mondstadt City.

Tips for Finding Obscure Chest Locations

Based on finding many well-hidden chests in Genshin, here are some tips:

  • Scan the edges of the environment – chests are often tucked away in corners
  • Climb to high vantage points and use Elemental Vision
  • Explore day and night since some chests only appear at specific times
  • Certain chests require puzzles or battles to unlock
  • Recheck areas after major updates or quests

Keep these tips in mind as you hunt chests during Fecund Blessings and beyond.

How Does Genshin Impact v3.1 Compare to Previous Updates?

Looking back, Version 3.1 aligns with Hoyoverse‘s typical approach for major Genshin updates. The last few patches have followed a similar structure:

Version 3.0

  • New region: Sumeru
  • New characters: Tighnari, Collei, Dori
  • Archon quests, Dendro element

Version 2.8

  • New zone: Golden Apple Archipelago
  • New character: Shikanoin Heizou
  • Summer Islands event

Version 2.7

  • New character: Yelan
  • Chasm underground zone
  • Perilous Trail event

Version 2.6

  • Kamisato Ayato banner
  • Chasm introduction
  • Irodori Festival event

As shown above, big updates tend to package new characters and zones with limited-time events.

Based on this pattern, Version 3.2 will likely add new Sumeru areas and characters paired with engaging events. We could see the new character Nahida who was recently revealed.

Personally, I find these major updates keep Genshin feeling fresh each quarter while expanding the world and lore. The new domains also allow me to experiment with character builds, like Cyno as an aggravate DPS.

Let me know which parts of v3.1 you‘re enjoying most! I‘m happy to provide any other Genshin tips and tricks as an experienced Traveler.
