The recent Genshin Impact 3.1 update introduced an intriguing new quest leading to the powerful Scarlet Sand Slate gadget. In this comprehensive guide, we‘ll uncover everything you need to know about obtaining this ancient artifact.
backstory
King Deshret ruled over the desert hundreds of years ago until his kingdom ultimately collapsed. The enigmatic ruler was said to have tremendous control over the sands using strange devices powered by elemental energy.
The Scarlet Sand Slate served as Deshret‘s personal artifact granting clearance to activate those mechanisms and reshape his domain. It‘s a critical piece of history tied to the fallen kingdom of the sands.
Starting the "Golden Slumber" Quest
To initially trigger the questline for the slate, seek out Bonifaz in Aaru Village. This eccentric elderly resident offers the "Golden Slumber" world quest, directing you towards a mysterious sealed temple nearby.
Bonifaz hints that sacred ruins exist below the structure which may give insight into Deshret‘s ancient technologies. Your journey will soon unwind a deeper mystery though!

I‘d advise having these elemental abilities covered before entering the ruins.
Overview of Puzzle Trials
Venturing inside the ominous pyramid, you‘ll discover it filled with puzzles tied to different elements. These act almost as trials or tests, gatekeeping the inner chambers. Solving them ultimately proves one‘s wit and wisdom to the ruin‘s ancient caretakers.
Utilize Anemo gusts to dissipate sand barriers, ignite fire torches to open doors, locate a disguised Electro torch, and more. We‘ll break down solutions to each step:
Trial 1 – Unlocking the Entry Door
- A strange Anemo lock blocks the exterior entrance…
- Use Anemo (e.g. Traveler‘s Skill) to remove the particles
- Opening access into the torch chamber
This first test verifies you can harness Anemo, the core element used in Deshret‘s relics
Trial 2 – Lighting All Torches
- Inside you‘ll see four Unlit Torches on pillars
- Ignite all four torches with Pyro attacks
- Amber‘s elemental burst can quickly ignite them simultaneously
- Doing so will shift the rear chamber wall open
Torches have long represented the passing of knowledge through generations. Lighting them pays respect to the ruins‘ history.
Trial 3 – Locating the Hidden Torch
- At the end of the path lies the Tri-Lakasha Seed
- Strike it with Electro to reveal a hidden fifth torch
- Use Pyro once more on the disguised torch
- Opening the spiral staircase downward
Few can find the concealed fifth torch, proving your wisdom and insight
Claiming the Scarlet Sand Slate
Completing the trials leads you to meet Jebrael and Tizrad, guardians who explain parts of the mythos around the ruins and this place‘s purpose as an ancient testing ground.
Satisfied by your worthiness through overcoming all elemental trials, they happily reward you with the Scarlet Sand Slate gadget!

In summary, by proving your mastery of various elemental forces, you open the pathway to obtaining King Deshret‘s personal artifact. The Scarlet Sand Slate now offers exciting secrets and challenges across the desert!
