Unlocking the Lost Valley dungeon in Genshin Impact involves a specific environmental puzzle that utilizes Geo resonance to clear a path. To gain access, travelers must activate a Geo mechanism located near the dungeon's entrance within The Chasm.
Locating the Lost Valley Dungeon
The Lost Valley domain is situated in the Fosse Azur area of The Chasm: Underground Mines in Liyue. Upon arriving at the general location, players will notice a blocked entrance, signaling the need for a specific interaction to reveal the domain.
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlocking the Lost Valley
Unlocking this domain requires triggering a powerful Geo resonance to break a sealed path. Follow these steps to gain entry:
- Navigate to the Unique Rock: Head towards the specific area where you'll find a large, distinctive rock surrounded by a swirling yellow mist. This rock is the key to initiating the unlocking process.
- Trigger the Geo Wave: To activate the mechanism, you must hit this large rock. You can achieve this using:
- A Geo character's ability (e.g., Zhongli's Stone Stele, Ningguang's Jade Screen).
- A Claymore character's normal or charged attacks.
- An explosive effect (e.g., a Pyro character's skill or a red exploding barrel found nearby).
Successfully hitting the rock with one of these methods will trigger a powerful Geo wave that emanates from it.
- Observe the Geo Resonance: After striking the large rock and unleashing the Geo wave, swiftly return to the nearby Stone Tablet. From this vantage point, you will observe the Geo resonance taking effect, causing a Unique Rock that blocks the domain entrance to be destroyed. This destruction confirms that the path to the Lost Valley domain is now open.
Recommended Characters for Geo Resonance
While any Claymore user or explosive effect will work, using a Geo character can make the process more efficient due to their inherent elemental resonance.
