The recent Genshin Impact 3.4 update introduced an intriguing new hidden area known as the Passage of the Ghouls, located in the sweeping Desert of Hadramaveth zone. This mysterious sealed gateway holds untold secrets and fantastic treasure for those clever enough to unlock its power.
As a Genshin Impact veteran and expert player, I‘m going to guide you through locating all six arcane Sacred Seals needed to restore this long-dormant passage to its former glory. By working together, we‘ll uncover the Ghouls‘ lost knowledge and claim the generous rewards hidden behind their veil of magic.
The History Behind the Passage of the Ghouls
Before we venture out seal-hunting, let me catch you up on why this site was sealed in the first place…
Little is known about the Passage‘s origins, but based on the ominous carvings and ghoulish architecture adorning its gates, I suspect this gateway leads to something incredibly powerful, dangerous, or valuable to warrant such mystical protections.
Similar puzzles in other areas like the Rub Al-Khali Pyramid or Celestial Nail revealed catacombs filled with precious artifacts and lore. So odds are, some pretty juicy treasure lies beyond the Passage! My theory is that the original architects wanted to prevent the unworthy from stumbling upon their secrets.
But thanks to the arcane Sacred Seals they left behind, cunning explorers like us can pass their test and claim the Passage‘s riches!

Optimal Route for Collecting All Six Seals
Now for the fun part: let‘s venture out and collect those seals!
Based on my own exploration, here is the most efficient route:
-
Start from the Statue of the Seven and glide southwest to grab the Forest Seal
-
Trek east, avoiding combat when possible, to snag the two Valley Seals
-
Use the interactive map below to navigate up the cliffs toward the Crocodile Head Seal:

Head west along the serpentine ridge to the Giant Serpent Seal
-
Float down from the ridge and run up the tallest Dune to acquire the last seal
This route circles counter-clockwise around the Passage of the Ghouls, minimizing backtracking. With some careful climbing and gliding, you should be able to avoid most enemies for a quick collecting run.

Now let‘s examine each seal location more closely. I‘ve compiled this handy reference table showing the name, coordinates, and geographic cues for each:

| Valley Seal 1 | X.x, Y.y | Southern valley cliffs |

Now let‘s look at each seal spot more closely…
Detailed Forest Seal Instructions
The Forest Seal location sits high up on a weathered stone column along the southern sea-facing cliffs near the Sea of Jade domain.
Look for it on a pillar positioned directly above the Tree of Dreams. You‘ll need to glide down to it from higher altitude. Be careful landing, as the pillar stands among poisonous purple fog!
