In order to unlock a cave full of 15 hidden chests in Vanarana, Genshin Impact players must find the 76 Aranara. That's quite a herculean task, but there is no other location like this secret cave in terms of loot. Considering players won't get enough Primogems for a single pull from these 15 chests, so this task might not be worth it for everyone.

However, those who wish to do it will need to know where all 76 Aranaras are located. Considering one Aranara only spawns after a certain quest is completed, knowledge of their locations won't be enough. Unfortunately, this quest involves a lengthy puzzle as a prerequisite (16 Stone Locks).

This video guide can be helpful for players having difficulty in locating the stone locks. Besides that, all that's left to discuss here is the cave location.

The cave with 15 chests is located slightly northeast of the Teleport Waypoint that's southeast of Vanarana. Hence, some Travelers call this whole Genshin Impact puzzle "15 Hidden Chests in Vanarana Cave." It's easy to miss, but once players know where to look, then it's not that hard to find.

Attempting to collect all 15 chests will inevitably give Genshin Impact fans the For Meritorious Service and Please Play Safely achievements, further adding to the number of Primogems they may earn by doing this arduous puzzle.
