Nameless Treasures: Naming is Overrated Anyway
Let’s start with the “Nameless Treasures.” They sound mysterious, right? Not quite. These treasures aren’t easy to find. You will need to work for them. Consider it a mini-puzzle challenge for decent rewards.
- What’s the Deal? Three treasures from specific spots. Play antique dealer after sundown.
- Where to Cash In? Visit Liyue Harbor at 9:00 PM. Find the Antique shop. Treasure trading in Liyue only at night. Sell all three together for maximum profit. Don’t be stingy; hoard them for value.
- Treasure Tally: Three to find. Quality over quantity?
- The Hunt Locations:
- Lingju Pass: Locate a platform below a tree. Spot a Geo symbol. Use a Geo ability. Geo Traveler or Ningguang can help.
- Qingxu Pool: Another Geo symbol awaits. Find and smash it. You’re getting better!
- Dunyu Ruins: More involved! Light up four torches around the Geo Pillar. Activate it afterward. Geo energy needs drama.
Dunyu Ruins: More Than Just Crumbling Walls
Dunyu Ruins offers more than a pretty backdrop. It’s a treasure hub and puzzle zone.
- Location, Location, Location: Found in Lisha, Liyue, known as 遁玉陵 Dùnyù-líng, meaning “Fleeing Jade Mausoleum.” Dramatic name?
