How to Use Sacred Seals to Unlock New Areas in Genshin Impact

As an avid Genshin Impact player and explorer, few things excite me more than unearthing hidden chests overflowing with Adventure EXP, Mora coins, and magical artifacts. So when the 3.1 update introduced a secret room protected by five ancient relics called sacred seals, I knew this quest had my name on it.

Join me as we dredge up desert treasures that have laid untouched for centuries! This guide will walk you through obtaining each arcane seal and using their combined power to access the best buried loot in Sumeru.

Decoding the Purpose of Sacred Seals

First, let’s examine why these engraved stone slabs even exist. Based on my research into Genshin lore and ruins across Teyvat, they apparently serve as keys that channel elemental energy to activate ancient mechanisms.

In fact, the civilization that built the Mausoleum of King Deshret crafted five seals specifically attuned to Geo, Electro, Hydro and other elements. They knew one day an ambitious wanderer would insert these relics into the tomb’s Primal Obelisk to unlock its secrets, which had laid dormant since the era of The Scarlet King…

The Hunt for Each Arcane Seal

To fully revive this mystical console and open the way forward, you’ll need to track down the following seals scattered across desert ruins and guarded by Perpetual Mechanical Arrays:

  • Crocodile Head Seal: Hidden inside northern stone monuments. Use Geo attacks against constructs.
  • Valley Seal: Defeat Geovishap south of Statue of Seven. Target vulnerable leg joints.
  • Danger Seal: Acquired after battling through labyrinth ruins. Equip Pyro/Electro mix.
  • Sunrise Seal: Complete cleansing ritual in overgrown shrine to the northwest…

Now let me walk you through my experience obtaining each seal, from puzzle solutions to enemy exploits that served me well…

Harnessing the Seals‘ Power
