The sprawling deserts of the recently launched Genshin Impact 3.4 update hold remnants of civilizations long turned to dust. Among the shifting dunes and crumbling ruins lies a puzzle – six cryptic stone slates scattered across the wastes, the key to unlocking a hidden door within the Gurabad Ruins. For treasure hunters willing to traverse the sands in search of Hadramaveth‘s secrets, I‘ve put together this comprehensive guide on locating each elusive slab and delving into the chamber beyond that resolute stone barrier.
Scouring the Sands: An Overview of Hadramaveth‘s Hidden Slates
Stone slates have long been a staple of magical puzzles in the world of Teyvat. We‘ve uncovered similar solid stone tablets in the lost civilization of the Dragonspine Mountains, inscribed with ancient text and elemental mechanisms. The six stone slates of Hadramaveth serve a similar purpose, destined to seal or reveal its lost history. Each engraved slab contains intricate symbolism and text alluding to the area‘s past, with some sharing Desert Folk origin stories and constellation lore.
Collecting all six magical tablets grants access beyond a firmly shut door in the Gurabad Ruins. Within lies a treasure room brimming with luxurious chests and artifacts from Hadramaveth‘s wealthy era as a bustling trade center. But retrieving the slates presents a challenge. They are strewn across three ruins – four in the Sands of Three Canals, one in the Passage of Ghouls, and a final slate at Tanit Camps. Only by assembling the full set can you hope to unlock their prize.
In this expansive guide, I‘ll provide detailed maps and navigation instructions to pinpoint every elusive slab location. You‘ll also find annotated maps and visual references, historical insights into the slate‘s origins, team build tips, and post-unlock analysis. Let‘s begin unravelling Hadramaveth‘s secrets, one ancient stone tablet at a time!
Sands of Three Canals: Hunting Hadramaveth‘s Heart
Our search begins in the massive Sands of Three Canals ruin situated along the desert‘s northern cliffs. Four of the six mystical slates reside within these crumbling walls and canal-carved chambers. Each is hidden in the farthest corners of the ruin‘s wings, a challenge to reach even for experienced travelers.
The ruin‘s enormity can overwhelm at first, but our annotated map reveals the precise locations of all four slates:
[Annotated Map of Sands of Three Canals]With this invaluable tool, a little traversal guidance will have you gathering these tablets swiftly.
Northwest Slate – Along the cliffside northern wing. Use a tall construct like Geo Traveler‘s boulder to reach.
Northeast Slate – Deep within the eastern wing interior. Seek a wall recess in the innermost chamber.
Southeast Slate – On the southeast edge exterior wall. Glide down from the tower rooftop.
East Slate – Atop the eastern wall. Teleport to the nearby waypoint and glide down.
Tick all four off your list, and you‘ll clear out the Sands of Three Canal‘s hidden treasures. Just two more slates await in the neighboring ruins. Onward!
Braving the Passage of Ghouls
The fifth elusive slab sits in the Passsage of Ghouls, an underground stone labyrinth tangled with vile plant overgrowth. Finding the slate here requires resilience and a sharp eye.
Consult the Passage of Ghouls map included below for the exact location. You‘ll need to navigate about three-quarters down the primary passage, keeping left until you enter a widened chamber.

Unearthing Tanit Camp‘s Buried History
The final stone slate resides in the buried tunnels of Tanit Camp. Once a bustling trade outpost, this sunken ruin still guards cultural treasures for those bold enough to delve into the darkness.
Descend into the sprawling underground complex, minding gaps and false turns. Eventually you‘ll enter a large circular room with four branching corridors. Reference the map below:

The Secrets Behind the Door
With all six mysterious slates gathered from their desert hiding places, open your map and fast-travel to the Safhe Shatranj waypoint. From there, head north into the Gurabad Ruins.
Along the left wall of this crumbling temple, you‘ll spot a conspicuous locked door. Interact with it to unveil the slates‘ true purpose – turning them into magical keys that unseal the entrada and reveal the treasures within.
Beyond the threshold lies a lavish room glittering with ornate chests brimming with artifacts and ascension materials. Collect your hard-earned rewards, but don‘t neglect observing the ornate murals and decor. This opulent chamber offers glimpses into Hadramaveth‘s prosperous past, a reward in its own right for puzzle-solvers.
My first time entering the treasure hall remains a fondest memory. If you found this guide helpful in unlocking Hadramaveth‘s hidden stone slate quest, please let me know! I wish you the best in your future explorations across Teyvat‘s realms. The journey itself is the greatest reward.
