Genshin Impact's Sumeru region hides tons of secrets, especially in the massive desert, added in the 3.1 update. This desert has lots of chests for players to uncover, including one that requires gamers to track down five Glinting Components scattered throughout the area.

It can be quite tricky to locate the aforementioned items, with many of them buried in ancient tombs around Sumeru. Players will also need to take advantage of the Scarlet Sand Slate gadget to gather these components. Gamers can find the locations of all five Glinting Components in this article to make tracking them down in Genshin Impact a lot easier.

Glinting Components are acquired from defeating Primal Constructs that are hidden in five ruins in Sumeru, some of which are locked behind devices that can only be activated with the help of the Scarlet Sand Slate.

If you want to gather all of the Glinting Components, you should make sure that you not only have the Scarlet Sand Slate unlocked but have also raised its Clearance Level to gain access to all of the devices you'll need to activate as you traverse the ruins. Another thing worth mentioning is that you will need to have completed quests like Golden Slumber and Dual Evidence to gather all the Glinting Components.

1) Abju Pit

The first Glinting Component can be found in Abju Pit deep underground, and you can easily access it by utilizing the teleport waypoint shown in the image above.

You'll need the Scarlet Sand Slate if you want to fully explore this underground area. To gain access to the Glinting Component, you will need to activate an elevator by interacting with a book-shaped device inside the ruin.

After activating this elevator, you will descend into the area where you can defeat the Primal Constructs and gain the first Glinting Component.


2) Khaj-Nisut

The second Glinting Component location is in Khaj-Nisut. To gain access to it, you'll need to have sufficiently leveled up your Scarlet Sand Slate's clearance level. Subsequently, you can open the massive door at Khaj-Nisut by interacting with the book-shaped device, which will allow you to enter the ruins below.

Once inside the ruins, explore the underground area until you reach a room where the door shuts behind you, trapping you to battle more Primal Constructors. Defeating them will grant you the next Glinting Component.


3) Ruin below Dune of Elusion

The next Glinting Component can be found in a ruin below the Dune of Elusion, which can be seen in the image above. Entering it will require you to utilize an elevator that can only be activated with the Scarlet Sand Slate.

After going down in the elevator, you'll need to get off and reactivate it, allowing it to head back up. This will let you drop down and take the secret elevator below. This can be tricky, so you may want to watch this video for a better understanding of the process.

After you've ridden the second elevator that takes you down into the depths of the ruin, you will need to take a few more elevators before a small puzzle activates a wind current. This will bring you up to the Primal Constructors hidden in this ruin. Beating them will grant you the third Glinting Component.


4) The Mausoleum of King Deshret

The fourth Glinting Component can only be collected once you've lowered the water level in The Mausoleum of King Deshret. After doing so, teleport to the waypoint shown in the image above and glide down into the area where the water used to be.

5) Also in The Mausoleum of King Deshret

For the final Glinting Component, you'll need to teleport to the waypoint just above the previous one, as that will take you to an area that can only be reached after completing the Dual Evidence quest. Explore the mausoleum until you reach a tunnel that drops down into the area where the final Primal Constructs can be found.

After you've jumped down the tunnel and defeated the Primal Constructs, you will have the fifth and final Glinting Component. Now, you can use these items to unlock a hidden Luxurious Chest nearby that will grant a ton of rewards.

To utilize the Glinting Components, you'll need to head to a nearby underground area which can be seen in the screenshot above. Utilize the teleport waypoint in the bottom-left corner of The Mausoleum of King Deshret to access this area, and travel to where the custom pin on the map is located. There, you'll reach a door that will prompt you to enter the five Glinting Components.

After you open the door, you'll gain access to the Luxurious Chest behind it, which offers 40 Primogems and some other precious rewards. You won't want to miss out on this chest and its secrets. Moreover, opening it isn't too tough after you have your Sand Slate clearance leveled up sufficiently.
