Genshin Impact beginners should know that the Lost Valley Domain isn't too hard to unlock. It simply requires some knowledge.

The Lost Valley Domain offers two unique artifact sets:

  • Vermillion Hereafter (great for Xiao)
  • Echoes of an Offering (great for Normal Attack-focused characters)

Hence, it's no surprise that some players want to unlock this Domain as soon as possible. However, they should know that there is a small puzzle impeding their progress. It involves:

  • Geo Constructs
  • Unique Rocks
  • Rock Pillar

Keep in mind that the Geo Traveler has a Geo Construct, so all players will have access to at least one character capable of summoning a Geo Construct.

Most Genshin Impact players will be able to locate the Lost Valley in The Chasm. It is the only Domain here, after all.

If one can't see it in the overworld for some reason, they likely need to go to the Statue of the Seven to unlock this part of the overworld map.

The entrance to this Domain is a fair distance south. The cave's opening won't be available right away, as it requires players to complete a short puzzle first.


How to complete the puzzle

Although the opening to this entrance might look blocked, one should notice a pressure plate in this general area. Place a Geo Construct here to summon some Wind Currents southeast of here.

Here are some Genshin Impact characters who can summon a Geo Construct:

  • Albedo
  • Geo Traveler
  • Itto
  • Ningguang
  • Zhongli

Use any one of these characters to put the Geo Construct on the pressure plate and head toward the Wind Currents.

Do a Plunging Attack on this large rock pillar to send out a Resonant Quake. This shockwave should destroy the blockage and allow Genshin Impact players to travel to The Lost Valley Domain.
