Genshin Impact Golden Slumber walkthrough

The Genshin Impact Golden Slumber quest is one of the most important World Quest series in Sumeru as it will give you access to the underground cave area of ​​Sumeru. This also means that completing the Golden Sleep is the key to unlocking the remaining Teleport Waypoints and the Mirages Altar Domain. It’s also a good way to find additional Genshin Impact scarabs underground in the Hypostyle Desert.. Underground access also gives you access to the Genshin Impact Garden of Endless Pillars dungeon.

Golden Slumber is a pretty long questline. Naturally, it’s full of time challenges and puzzles. If you need a little help along the way, here’s a complete Genshin Impact Golden Slumber guide, from Lost in the Sands to the Khaj-Nisut dungeon.

Genshin Pulse permission message

During the Golden Sleep questline, you’ll encounter several closed doors and sealed mechanisms that send the ‘you don’t have enough permissions’ message. No problem, you don’t need these doors or mechanisms to progress through Golden Sleep quests. When you complete the mission, you will be able to gain more powers.

Golden Sleep part 1: Lost in the Sands

Everything in order; You need to take the quest ‘Lost in the Sands’ in Aaru Village (eastern part of the desert). The quest is given by an NPC named Bonifaz. If you cross the bridge to Aaru Village to the west of the Seven Statues, you will see Bonifaz right in front of you (see picture). Here’s what to do next:

1. Keep following the path as you search for the archeology team. When the mission objective asks you to ‘go down to the bottom of the pit’, you actually have to go one level above the lowest point. Talk to NPCs.
2. Go through the dialogue until the ancient ruins are opened. This will unlock a Teleport Waypoint.
3. After crossing the stone bridge, use the Anemo to disperse the sand pile on the right side of the gate. Interact with the mechanism to advance to the next room.
4. During the ‘keep exploring’ objective, keep following the path until you reach a dead end in the large room with the statues. In the left corner of the room is a square tile with Dendroculus. To activate it, you need to stop in the middle of the square and then go down.
5. Light the four Pyro torches. The one on the right will only occur after ‘burning’ the floating Tri-Yana Seed (hit it with either Pyro or Electro).
6. Collect the Exquisite Chest and open the next set of square mechanism doors. Follow the path until the next cutscene begins.
7. Activate the nearby square to move upwards, then investigate the strange machine. After the dialogue, go down and talk to Jebrael.
8. You will get the Scarlet Sand Slate, which allows you to pass through some doors that require ‘Void’. Go upstairs again and use it to open the big door.

Golden Sleep part 2: Lost in the Sands puzzle

After obtaining the Scarlet Sand Slate, follow the path (see image) until you reach the room with the blue triangle. Here you need to complete a simple puzzle; Take the triangle and use it on the blue square to open the door. Do the same with the blue triangles in the next room and then turn the left mechanism twice.

You need to use Electro damage when the triangle ruin guard enters the ‘rescue’ state while fighting the enemies in the next room. After that, use the Scarlet Sand Slate to open the next door. When the target tells you to ‘follow the wind’, simply follow the blue Seelie to find the exit.

This will complete the Lost in the Sands quest. Continue with the next Golden Sleep quest to unlock the rest of the subterranean Sumeru map: An Introduction to Indoor Archeology.

Golden Slumber chapter 3: Introduction to Interior Archeology

1. After meeting at Sobek Oasis, use the wind current to reach higher cliffs. Talk to Jebrael, then return to the Oasis.
2. Enter the Khemenu Temple. When the quest asks you to proceed towards the temple, ignore the doors without your permission. Keep going until you find two doors (left and right) that you can open instead. We will start with the door on the right (see picture); take down the enemies, take the blue triangle on the right and activate the square in the middle. Interact with the mechanism to create a blue orb and follow it to the previous room. Do the same with the door on the left.
3. Descend to the lower level of the Khemenu Shrine, where you can unlock a Teleport Waypoint. After the cutscene, return to the previous room.

Golden Sleep Chapter 4: An Introduction to Interior Archeology puzzle

Next, you’ll find two more open doors on the left and right. Each leads to a puzzle:

• The puzzle in the north (hourglass): follow the corridor until you reach the room as shown in the picture. Climb the central stone structure where you will find an hourglass (pos. 1). Interact with it to start a time challenge; You have 30 seconds to reach the hourglasses (positions 2 and 3) on the left and right and activate both. After that, land on the invisible floor next to the chest (pos. 4). Interact with the blue orb behind it and direct it to the door.
• Puzzle in the south (boat): similar to the previous one. Follow the corridor until you reach a large room with a boat. Use the Four-Leaf Seals to fly up and activate the square with the blue triangle nearby. Orient the blue orb as you did before.

Use the elevator to go down after the cutscene. Walking to the other side of the room will trigger another cutscene that completes this part of the Golden Sands questline.

Golden Sleep chapter 5: Al-Ahmar’s Secret walkthrough

While still underground at the start of the Al-Ahmer’s Secret quest, use the elevator to go up. Make your way to King Deshret’s Mausoleum and battle the ruined enemies. As before, you have to hit them with Electro when they enter the recovery state.

After a cutscene, you must complete the ‘open the coffin’ objective. This Golden Sleep puzzle is quite similar to the previous ones: find blue orbs in the corridors and guide them back to the main room. Here are the locations:

• Sphere 1: Take the north door, then open the right door. The sphere is on a wall to the right, next to a Dendroculus.
• Sphere 2: Go back to the north room, but this time turn left. You can enable the square to start a timed hourglass challenge, but that seems optional. The orb is in the area behind the second hourglass (door pictured).
• Sphere 3: This time take the south door. Follow the corridor until you reach the red mechanism that will start a time challenge. Collect every Dendro particle in time to reach the blue orb.
• Sphere 4: Use the south door again, then turn left and defeat the ruined enemy. The blue orb is on a wall to the north.

Take the elevator up after the cutscene. This will take you to a large underground cavern area where you will have to fight the Fatuis. After that, you will have to keep following the ‘search for members of the archeology team’ and ‘find Benben’ quest objectives for a long time.

Golden Sleep chapter 6: The Secret of Al-Ahmar laser puzzles

After unlocking another Teleport Waypoint and starting the ‘proceed deeper in the ruins’ objective, you’ll find a new room with a square mechanism and a blue Seelie. Follow Seelie until you see a large open room with a blue laser puzzle behind it. To unlock locked doors, you need to aim the lasers at the door (see image above). The room containing a blue orb is on the west side. Guide him all the way until he reaches the huge golden gates.

We will go back the way we came for the second sphere; turn your back on the huge doors, go a little further down, and then go through the tunnel on the left again. The jigsaw mechanism looks complicated, but all you have to do is activate the mechanisms as in the picture above. Point the blue orb at the door.

Golden Sleep Chapter 7: Dreams Under the Burning Sands essays

The last part of the Golden Sleep adventure series begins again in Sobek Oasis. Defeat the enemies as you please and follow the location marker until you achieve the ‘pass three tries’ objective in Khaj-Nisut. Here’s how to solve each one:

• Judgment in the West: enter the building, then go down the opening with the wind current. Activate the blue squares as you did before. After falling down a second wind tunnel opening, there is a door that requires the Keystone. You will find it in the room on the right. Use it at the door and keep opening chests and activating blue squares until you reach the last room where now the blue lasers are attached as shown in the image above.
• Judgment in the north: It’s simple: start experimenting inside the building and go down the hole on the left. Then take down twice as many enemies (all triangular ruin guards). Bring an Electro to use during the recovery situation.
• Judgment in the South: Start the experiment and drop it down again. You will land on invisible ground. Keep running around to find the gaps; You will have to drop a few levels before you reach the place where you can finish the experiment.

Golden Sleep episode 8: Khaj-Nisut

Finally, you can enter Khaj-Nisut. Dig deeper into the ruin (see image above) until you find the room with the large mechanism in the middle. Aim the three blue orbs (you can see their location on your minimap) at their destination to activate it.

There is a tricky part that has a few big fans; Move the blue orb forward when they stop spinning. Stand in the middle (in the same position as pictured above) so it doesn’t get hit by the fans.

Golden Sleep part 9: platform puzzle

Proceed to the upper floors until you reach the ‘operate Kaj-Nisut Prism’ objective. Go down to the middle platform and click ‘run’ to change the height. Click ‘change’ to change the color from blue to red.

Note that the middle platform only moves those of the same color. To solve the puzzle, place it as shown in the image above (platforms should not block the blue lasers) and then use the blue button on the other side of the room (red circle).

Now all you have to do is take the elevator up, pass the cutscenes and defeat the last enemies. Attention; then you will have to escape from Khaj-Nisut. Jump down and run towards the exit as fast as you can!
