How to "Head over to the designated location in the letter" in Genshin Impact

The magical world of Teyvat holds countless secrets for Travelers to uncover in miHoYo‘s hit open world RPG Genshin Impact. Version 3.4 "The Exquisite Night Chimes" has unlocked an entire new arid region brimming with mystery – the Desert of Hadramaveth. This expansive desert of ancient ruins, ravines and a lost city has introduced new quests, challenges and characters for players to discover since its release on January 18, 2023.

One such quest that may appear as you journey through the desert sands is titled "Head over to the designated location in the letter." This guide will provide extensive details on finding the specified meeting place to help you complete this hidden objective.

Version 3.4‘s Desert of Hadramaveth Region: An Epic New Adventure

To fully grasp this quest‘s significance, let‘s first understand the scope of Genshin Impact‘s latest addition. At approximately 12.6 square km, the Desert of Hadramaveth marks one of the largest landmass expansions in the game‘s history. MiHoYo crafted this stunning desert over 6 months, aiming to provide a brand new adventure for high level Travelers.

Set in a remote corner of Sumeru‘s rainforest region, this parched landscape varies from the lush biomes long-time players are accustomed to. It replaces vibrant flora with fossilized skeletons, ruined temples and stone colossi half-buried in the ever-shifting sands.

Craggy cliffs, ravines and sinkholes populate the desert, rife with hidden oasis villages and treasure troves of artifacts left behind by desert dwellers. Players can stumble upon secluded camps and relic sites while riding the new desert gadget – the rickety Surfboard.

Daily commissions also change in the Desert of Hadramaveth, with 5 new bounties themed around mediaeval desert cultures. These range from liberating a town besieged by ravenous scarabs to decoding ancient stone tablets written in verse.

There‘s also 12 desert-exclusive fishing pools populated by fish like the Sundial Midnight Catfish and Sandgrease Pike. And crystallized Dendro energycalled "Radiant Spincrystals" dot the sands, offering Primogems when gathered.

With so much to do over this vast landscape, obtaining mastery will require dedication from even experienced Travelers.

The Mysterious Letter‘s Call to Adventure

Amidst your desert escapades, you may one day receive an mail simply titled "A Call to Adventure." The cryptic letter within states:

"The call of the desert, borne upon wind and sand, beckons to me once more. At the break of dawn, where the dunes meet stone, we shall rendezvous again my friend."

This poetic invitation is signed anonymously. But the promise of adventure compels you to scour the sands in search of this secretive meeting point.

Who sent this letter? Why the need for such discretion in this rendezvous? Does it entail further peril or fortune? These questions fuel your curiosity.

The mystique around this letter speaks to the Desert‘s role as a crossroads of trade and civilization. Similar messages may have flowed between royal successors and rebels plotting for desert thrones centuries ago. Or bandits arranging shady exchanges of treasure and spice under moonlight.

Whatever the purpose, the letter sets you on the path to uncovering secrets buried with the ruins. Your compass now points to this undisclosed oasis – if you can find it.

Pinpointing the Designated Meeting Area

Your map won‘t pinpoint the exact position specified in the letter. But through careful deduction, we can determine the general area the sender intended as the rendezvous point: North of the Dunes of Steel.

Specifically, a secluded spot marked by a striped mat, cooking pot over a fire and some wooden barrels. Let‘s break down how to reach these telltale signs step-by-step:

Starting Point: Statue of Seven in Dunes of Steel

First, navigate to the Statue of Seven waypoint in Dunes of Steel. This central teleport makes it easiest to traverse northwards.

Exit the Statue of Seven to the northwest, gliding down the dunes to the lower desert plain.

Follow the Mountain Range North

Trek due north while keeping the cliff face along the right. Use the mountain range as your guide.

Tips for Navigating Genshin Impact‘s Desolate Landscapes

Tracking down obscure destinations in Genshin Impact‘s open world can be challenging without precise coordinates. Here are 10 tips for exploration based on surveying deserts in-game and MMOs like RuneScape:

1. Activate compass – The compass points towards the next major objective
2. Follow terrain – Use landforms like mesas or rivers to orient your direction
3. Note time of day – Some sites only appear at specific times
4. Mark waypoints – Unlock Statues of Seven and teleports to quick travel
5. Solve puzzles – Shifting sundials or monuments may reveal hidden caves
6. Watch the skies – Constellations guide nomads navigating remote dunes
7. Bring a pyro character – Light campfires to stand out in pitch darkness
8. Equip an anemo character – Use wind bursts to clear sand piles hiding chests
9. Craft healing items – Prepare for desert creature ambushes and traps
10. Dress appropriately – Use cold/heat resistant outfits to survive harsh climates

Mastering navigation and survival will allow you to thrive in Genshin‘s deserts and other unforgiving wilds. The journey itself unlocks adventures no guide can ruin.

Completing the Quest and Venturing Onward

Upon reaching the secluded meeting spot, your quest log updates with:

Objective: Wait at the location of the secret meeting.

Waiting here briefly completes the "Head over to the designated location" quest and transitions into the next phase of this mystery.

Without spoiling what happens next, I‘ll say this clandestine rendezvous opens the door to an adventure connecting Desert of Hadramaveth‘s past secrets to present perils.

This letter represents one of the many dessert stories woven into Genshin Impact‘s expansive lore. And Version 3.4 is only the first act in uncovering the buried mysteries of this forgotten realm. As each update adds new realms and quests, Travelers can look forward to exploring lands untouched for centuries.
