As any intrepid Treasure Hunter knows, the glittering caches concealed across Teyvat offer more than mora and loot to aid your quests. Puzzle-solving thrillseekers in the Genshin community view these hidden troves as a secret metagame—an ever-evolving riddle waiting to be decoded through crowd-sourced deduction and testing.
The allure persists in the latest version update. Genshin Impact 3.8 introduced the enigmatic Veluriyam Mirage realm, overflowing with occult puzzles and mystifying secrets. While crowds flock to the carnival games and distraction, true connoisseurs of concealed riches look to the domain‘s tucked-away corners…and the occult clues hinting at treasures buried far beneath the shimmering sands.
In Part 1 of this guide series dedicated to extracting every last resource from this ephemeral realm, I outlined steps for locating Veluriyam Mirage‘s initial buried chest. Now in Part 2, I’ll guide Fortune Finders to the second secreted haul added in version 3.8: a gleaming Luxurious Chest waiting in the wings after an arcane light puzzle.
While less fiendishly stumped than the first Veluriyam treasure I previously covered, locating these gleaming Geo Sigils still rewards more than mundane mora…it offers the exhilaration of conquering another occult lockbox devised by Teyvat’s trickiest designers.
Read on below for every detail you’ll need to join the ranks of expert Treasure Hunters currently dissecting each update for glimpses of glittering loot.
interpreting the Riddle
Pinpointing the exact location of a buried Genshin Impact treasure requires properly interpreting the arcane clues left behind by developers. As community wiki diving reveals, these hints embed layers of meaning for discussion boards to decrypt.
For the second Veluriyum Mirage treasure, our riddle reads:
Vines, being undisturbed and a dream
On the surface, the vine reference clearly points to neglected greenery on the map’s quieter paths. But Travelers well-versed in Hoyoverse’s penchant for wordplay know such guidance can anchor interpretative journeys in multiple directions.
Perhaps “vines” obliquely references the Choo-Choo Cart rails snaking around the zone? And doesn’t the Silver Bottle Courtyard where they lead harbor an untouched, secluded atmosphere with surreal magical qualities? Such speculative deduction mirrors the crowdsourcing endeavor that gradually unlocks each seasonal domain’s buried secrets.
Navigating to the Puzzle‘s Staged Entrance
Our best theory suggests neglected niches around the Silver Bottle Courtyard may conceal the remaining wealth. The area meets the criteria outlined by a natural integration of the textual clues: barricaded ruins enveloped in overgrowth, well off the main tourist routes.
After warping to the waypoint and admiring the scenic views, locate the parked Choo-Choo Cart along the Courtyard’s eastern wall. Activate the railway vehicle to ride deeper into secluded ruins that few Veluriyam visitors ever tread.
At the dead-end tunnel inside dwells an Initiation Bell starter switch that kicks off Genshin Impact’s classic light redirection challenge: the Streaming Projector Puzzle.
Mastering the Streaming Projector Maze
As veterans of the game’s manifold prismatic puzzles know well, illumination streams must bounce across an array of lenses and mirrors to electrify door locks. Similar to the Lens Island puzzle introduced in version 3.2’s desert expansion, progress here involves finding and adjusting cubes of light-redirecting glass to open the escape portal.
But Hoyoverse adds some additional layers for true mastery:
- Secondary projectors that warp players into alternate puzzle spaces
- Floor buttons that rotate the directional source light
- Platforming challenges avoiding plunge doom as we bridge gaps
Consult my visual reference guide below outlining the complete sequence:
With enough observant tweaking, the illuminated path eventually falls into place, opening the escape route. Travelers can then pursue the glowing particle trail towards a mound concealing the next valuable chest.
Uncovering 24 Hour Wealth
Brushing away the marked pile unveils a Luxurious Chest, bestowing the standard bounty defined by Genshin Impact’s hidden loot table (as crowdsourced and maintained on community sites like [GameWith](https://gamewith.net/genshin-impact/article/show/263 172)):
- ★ 4-5 Enhancement Ores
- ★ 4-5 Talent Level-Up Materials
- ★ 3-5 Weapon Ascension Materials
- ☆☆☆☆★ Artifacts
- Mystic Enhancement Ores
- Mora (2,500-5,000)
Alongside amplifying your combat readiness across elements, conquering puzzles like the Streaming Projector offers a different kind of reward for some Travelers: the euphoria of finally grasping sly systems designed to stymie and entrap us.
Reporting Back, Golden Treasure in Hand
Before leaving Veluriyam Mirage once you’ve emptied its coffers, don’t forget to report back to Idyia at the Research Booth in the Central Hub. Doing so may provide hints pointing to even more opulent hauls still buried beneath the mirage…
Stay tuned here for my forthcoming guide on locating the third and final hidden chest added in Genshin Impact version 3.8! This obscure secret currently stumps even the most dedicated community theorycrafters, making documentation difficult when few can unveil its location.
But with some crowdsourced testing and inspiration from previous unlabeled treasures sprinkled across Teyvat’s tireless terrain, its only a matter of time before our collective deduction locks the puzzle box and releases the next jackpot.
