Steps to unlock, access, and complete the Altar of Mirages in Genshin Impact

1) Complete the Golden Slumber questline and begin Dual Evidence

To unlock the Altar of Mirages, you'll need to have your Scarlet Sand Slate's permission level nearly maxed out. For this to happen, you must complete the full Golden Slumber questline.

You may also want to begin the Dual Evidence quest, as it will give you another permission level. However, you won't need to finish it to unlock this domain.

Once you've raised your Scarlet Sand Slate's permission level, you can activate many of the mechanisms found in the desert ruins of Sumeru. These mechanisms will open up doors and other hidden areas. One can be found just outside the Altar of Mirages domain.

Simply teleport back to the nearby waypoint and head to where the domain is located on the map. From here, you'll find a mechanism that you can open with your Sand Slate. All you need to do is interact with it.

Once you've opened the door, you need to jump into the massive hole in the middle of the floor to reach the Altar of Mirages domain.

Simply jump into the hole and make sure you activate your glider before you hit the ground, as it is quite a long fall. Once you make it to the floor, walk over to the domain and interact with it to unlock it.
