Adventure Rank & Element Requirements
Before puzzle solving, ensure your Traveler meets the progression requirement to even enter Under the Umbrella after unlocking it:
Minimum Adventure Rank 20 – Early on you’ll need to focus on Archon and Story Quests to unlock this domain, joining you in Sumeru‘s mysteries.
You’ll also greatly benefit by having an active Dendro character like the Dendro Traveler. This makes hitting the Dendro monuments far simpler compared to appliance via cores/reactions.
Now let’s unravel the crux of things – solving the symbol sequence to unlock this lush domain!
Step-By-Step Guide to Unlocking the Domain
Follow these steps to correctly activate all 5 Dendro monuments:
- Navigate to the domain – You can locate this domain in a remote corner of Lokapala Jungle, northeast of Vimara Village.
- Harness Dendrograna from the starting waypoint – This temporary ability lets you strike the monuments.
- Hit the prompts in precise order – Carefully strike the Dendro monuments sequentially based on the glowing symbol on each:
- 1st monument

Getting the sequence right is imperative for efficiency and success. Mark locations with pins if needed and watch the ground symbols closely. With some care taken towards order, soon you‘ll be a master of all things Dendro!
Now let‘s prepare to not just unlock Under the Umbrella’s domain, but conquer it as well…
Conquering the Domain Itself
Once unlocked, the domain will test your combat prowess against Dendro and Electro-attuned foes. Here are tips to triumph over the puzzles and enemies within:
Cryo DPS – Freeze and Melt reactions make short work of Dendro slimes. Ayaka, Ganyu and Kaeya work wonders here.
Attack Variety – Ensure your team covers as many elements and reaction types possible to counter shields.
Upgraded Artifacts – Equip flower and feather artifacts upgraded at least +16 plus solid main stat pieces for smoother battles.
Healing Support – Environmental damage from vine floors and archer assaults warrants a Barbara or Jean to sustain pushes.
Environmental Awareness – Puzzles, elevators and exploding totems populate the domain between battles. Mind them to efficiently collect the chests!
While combat and mechanics may prove initial barriers, the bounties within merit the effort to grow from each failed run or floor reset. Soon your parties will be pruning through Under the Umbrella with elegant ease.
