Delving Deep: Your Guide to Unearthing Narukami Island’s Underground Secrets in Genshin Impact
You want to explore Narukami Island? Good choice! Beneath the shrines and landscapes of Inazuma lies a maze of hidden passages, chambers, and treasures. But entering the depths of Genshin Impact can be tricky. Don’t worry! This guide will help you navigate Narukami’s underground like a pro.
Unlocking the Subterranean World: Quests and Gadgets are Your Keys
In Genshin Impact, content is often locked behind quests. Underground access follows this pattern. It’s the game’s way of saying, “Show us you deserve to go down, adventurer!” To begin, tackle some essential world quests. “A Strange Story in Konda” and “Sacrificial Offering” are your entry points. They’re not mere tasks; they are necessary before you embark on the main underground quest: “Cleansing Defilement.” You’ll want to check these off your list. As noted in their Cleansing Defilement walkthrough, this quest grants access to many of Narukami’s hidden depths.
Now, let’s discuss gadgets. Meet the Memento Lens. It is not mere decoration; it’s your ticket to Araumi’s underground maze. Think of it as X-ray specs for ancient Inazuman secrets. Use it to unlock the “Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates” domain. This challenge is worth every moment. Who wouldn’t want a domain that sounds like a pirate adventure? To get the Memento Lens, finish the “Sacrificial Offering” quest. This is an investment into your underground exploration.
If you’re ready to battle the Perpetual Mechanical Array boss (who isn’t?), there’s a speedier route than wandering through the overworld. Completing the Araumi part of the “Cleansing Defilement” questline is your express lane. This unlocks a teleport waypoint close to the boss arena. Skip the long walks! This shortcut is crucial for farming PMA materials. Efficiency matters.
Location, Location, Location: Pinpointing Narukami’s Underground Entrances
Quests are done, gadgets are ready. Let’s find some underground entrances. Narukami Island has sneaky passages if you know where to look. Here are some specifics.
First, venture to the cave under Narukami Shrine. Surprised? You think the sacred site would be entirely above-ground, yet it has a secret basement. Entering it is…unique. Inazuman architects clearly had quirks. To bypass the gate, exploit a bug in the game’s loading system. Here’s how: stand on the gate, log out of Genshin Impact, then back in. Once you log back in, you’ll be inside! According to clever players on HoYoLAB, this method opens the gate and allows access to a hand lever within. Inside, you’ll find a hand lever. Who knew bug exploitation could be so fulfilling?
Next, explore the Araumi Underground Labyrinth. Remember the Memento Lens? Dust it off! Use it on Earth Kitsune Statues around Araumi. It reveals hidden doors. These statues are not just decor; they lead to treasures (Genshin Impact rewards curiosity). Using the Memento Lens on these statues unveils the labyrinth entrance, bringing you deeper into Narukami’s mysteries. Enjoy your archaeological adventure!
We already discussed the Perpetual Mechanical Array, but let’s reiterate easy access. Completing “Cleansing Defilement” connects you faster to fighting robot bosses. This teleport waypoint aids efficient farming runs. If you’re eager to avoid distractions and just want to battle, “Cleansing Defilement” will get you there quickly.
Finally, enter the Underground Waterway. Accessing this part requires a different approach. Start by following a seelie—those charming floating spirits—by a Lumenspar in the “RED SEELIE COURT” area (reached from the “BLUE Main Mining Area” teleport). Continue following the seelie; it leads to a Geo puzzle. Destroy two Geo statues—picture two in the visuals refers to these. When these statues explode, a tunnel opens up to the Ad-Hoc Main Tunnel. Access the Underground Waterway via the YELLOW Ad-Hoc Main Tunnel teleport. Confused? Follow the glowing spirit, and make some booms. That’s how we tackle Genshin Impact!
Domain Diving and Tree Climbing: Bonus Underground (and Above-Ground) Adventures
Apart from specific locations, other underground (and one above-ground) spots deserve attention.
The Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates Domain, as mentioned earlier, unlocks by obtaining the Memento Lens in Araumi’s labyrinth. This one-time challenge is worth experiencing (and the treasures inside). It shows Inazuma’s hidden depths and what happens when you explore bravely. Think of it as a test for your underground skills.
Now, let’s quickly visit the Sacred Sakura Tree. It isn’t underground, but it’s vital on Narukami Island. Located atop Mt. Yougou at the Grand Narukami Shrine, this enormous tree is visible from Inazuma City. You can’t overlook it! Climb the path; you’ll reach it quickly. Why mention it here? The shrine has a secret cave below, making the Sacred Sakura Tree its impressive above-ground sibling. Plus, it’s beautiful.
Lastly, let’s explore The Chasm. Though not on Narukami Island, it connects thematically as another major underground area in Genshin Impact. To unlock The Chasm’s layout fully, complete a related World Quest. The “Surreptitious Seven-Star Seal Sundering” quest series is pivotal. As detailed in their guide on The Chasm map, starting “The Chasm Charters” requires speaking with Muning at the eastern entrance of The Chasm. For those wishing for more adventure beyond Narukami, The Chasm beckons—just prepare for extensive questing.
Electrogranum: Your Zappy Sidekick for Exploration
Electrogranum. These electro energy wisps help immensely in Inazuma. They don’t directly aid underground access but are vital for exploration overall. Electrogranum grants several powers. With one, zip around using Thunder Spheres, cross Thunder Barriers, and ignore pesky Balethunder. Think of them as exploring power-ups. Mastering their use enhances your underground (and above-ground) adventures in Narukami Island. They are your little zappy companion that makes you feel like a hero. Who wouldn’t want that?
You now have your exhaustive guide to accessing Narukami Island’s underground wonders. Go explore! Discover all secrets underneath. Just try not to get lost—unless losing yourself benefits your adventure. Happy spelunking!
