Stone Pillar Seal in Genshin Impact is a new type of puzzle that can be found in Sumeru. At first glance, this puzzle seems like a normal open-world mechanism, but it’s actually a part of a quest in Genshin Impact.
Because of this, players are highly advised to mark the Stone Pillar seals they have destroyed. Once all 16 are unsealed, Travelers will earn the Now Let Time Resume achievement, and by following the Legends of the Stone lock quest, players eventually get to claim a Luxurious Chest.
Every Stone Pillar Seal Locations In Genshin Impact Sumeru
There are a total of 16 Stone Pillar Seal locations in Genshin Impact Sumeru. Those marked with a Hilichurl Mask (blue circle) are located on ground level, while those marked with a Star (pink circle) are underground.
In total, 11 of the Stone Pillar Seal locations exist on ground level, while the other five are inside caves. The two underground Stone Pillar Seals north of Pardis Dhyai are inside the cave where players will trigger the Legends of the Stone lock quest in Genshin Impact. Meanwhile, the other three are accessible from these spots:
This cave entrance can be accessed once players obtain the Kusava from the Agnihotra Quest in Genshin Impact (Aranyaka chapter 4).
The easiest way to reach this Stone Pillar Seal is by using the nearby underground Teleport Waypoint. To unlock this area, players will need to follow chapter 5 of the Aranyaka in Genshin Impact (Vimana Agama).
This Stone Pillar Seal can be destroyed once players drain the water level in Genshin Impact. The process needs to be done twice to fully drain the cave, revealing the Stone Pillar Seal puzzle.
How To Trigger The Legends Of The Stone Lock Quest In Genshin Impact
To trigger the Legends of the Stone Lock quest in Genshin Impact, players must destroy the Stone Pillar Seal north of Pardis Dhyai. The seal is located underground and players can use one of the three spots to enter the cave.
Once the Ruin Grader is defeated, an Aranara called Aradashan will appear, asking Travelers to destroy all 16 Stone Pillar Seals in Genshin Impact Sumeru.
How To Get A Luxurious Chest From The Legends Of The Stone Lock Quest
After players defeat the Perpetual Mechanical Array for the first time, the four Aranara will be determined to practice beating the Automaton in the dream realm. Now, Travelers can use their Vintage Lyre in front of the Silapna (a special stone with a swirl mark) to move to the dream state.
There will be four stages in this dream fight, and the difficulty will increase gradually. At first, players will get a Common Chest, then Exquisite, Precious, and, finally, a shiny Luxurious Chest. To trigger the fight, players need to talk to the Aranara in the following order:
- Aradashan
- Arayuta
- Arasata
- Arasaha
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
