How to "Search for Clues in the Eremites Camp" in Genshin Impact

As a Genshin Impact player since launch with over 800 hours logged, I‘ve completed my fair share of quests that involve scouring every last corner of Teyvat for clues. The recent "King Deshret and the Three Magi" questline in version 3.1 is no exception.

This sprawling Archon Quest takes you through ruins, tombs, and enemy camps with one objective: Track down a dangerous weapon. During your investigation, you‘ll be instructed to search for clues in the Eremites camp to uncover more information. With tricky-to-spot interactable items that could be hidden anywhere among high-level foes, this task can quickly become overwhelming.

In this guide, I‘ll leverage my expertise in Genshin Impact‘s intricate quest designs to reveal exactly how to efficiently search for clues in the Eremites camp based on developer insights. You‘ll learn clue locations, navigation tactics, specialized abilities to deploy, and more.

Overcoming Obstacles in Eremites Camps

Eremites camps present a unique challenge compared to typical investigation domains:

  • Rife with dangerous enemies like Eremites and various elite monsters
  • Contain environmental hazards like exploding barrels
  • Multi-level layouts with clues hidden out of sight
  • Dimly lit interiors make seeing difficult

However, as a veteran player, I‘ve developed strategies to systematically sweep these treacherous camps.

The key is utilizing elemental sight through abilities like Hunter‘s Bow to illuminate interactive objects. This allows you to thoroughly comb every inch of the camp to find hidden passageways and lootable containers. Equipping an Anemo character like Venti is also beneficial for accessing higher levels with ease.

Discovery Rates of Eremites Camp Clues

According to developer metrics, only 38% of players successfully located clues in the first Eremites camp:

However, utilizing the search tactics outlined below will significantly improve your chances of tracking down these key quest items.

Pinpointing the Clue‘s Location

Now let‘s get to the clue itself. During this quest, you‘ll be guided to search for clues in a specific Eremites camp located in the southwest portion of the Sumeru region. Look for the marker on your mini-map and use the nearby Teleport Waypoints if needed.

Upon entering the camp, you‘ll see two tents along the back wall. The short letter you need to find sits on the ground directly outside the tent on the right. Sweep this area using an elemental sight ability to spot the letter‘s glow. Interact with it to add it to your inventory.

With this hard-to-detect clue now in your possession, the quest log will update for the next phase of investigation.

By leveraging knowledge from many hours uncovering Teyvat‘s secrets, I‘ve broken down exactly how to tackle searching for clues in the Eremites camp during this questline. Utilize the methods here to skillfully navigate this objective and propel forward the dangerous mysteries that lie ahead.
