The Miner's Key in Genshin Impact can be found while players are traveling around the underground Chasm. It is one of the many things Travelers can discover in the underground area, and, like many other secret things, the Miner's Key also leads to a valuable Genshin Impact treasure chest. The Chasm was released in Genshin Impact 2.6, and is divided into two areas; the surface, and the underground. Exploring the surface is a walk in the park, but the underground Chasm is far more tricky, with many secret passages and tough terrains to navigate.
Before players start their journey in the underground Chasm, it is highly recommended that they first unlock the underground Chasm map by finishing the Chasm Delvers World Quest. The mission is quite long to follow, but it will introduce Travelers to the majority of the parts of the Chasm map. After the map is fully revealed, players can then begin their journey to find the Miner's Key in.
How To Get The Miner's Key In Genshin Impact
Players can find the Miner's Key in Genshin Impact by investigating Automaton-like remains. There are a lot of investigation points in the area, so just make sure to check them all.
If Travelers have never been to this area before, then they'll need to take a detour. They should go to the Teleport Waypoint east of the Ruin Serpent boss in Genshin Impact, and then walk west.
Eventually, they'll come to a narrow passage which they should follow to the north. To be safe, it's worth investigating all the available investigation points. At the end of the passage, players will be able to remove a blockage and open up a shortcut to the other side of the wall.
How To Use The Miner's Key In Genshin Impact
To use the Miner's Key in Genshin Impact, players will need to go to the locked door west of the Ad-Hoc Main Tunnel Teleport Waypoint.
Once there, they should use the Miner’s Key to open the road to the next room.
Inside the room, players will find a Shadowy Husk enemy that has a name (Skeld) and a boss-like HP bar. Defeating it will reward Travelers with one Orb Of The Blue Depth. After collecting nine orbs, players can open a room to claim one Luxurious Chest, one Precious Chest, and one Exquisite Chest.
Behind the Shadowy Husk, is a Precious Chest just waiting for Travelers to open. If they journey deeper into the room, they'll also find other things like enemies, Seelie, Lumenspar, and a connector to another part of the Underground Chasm.
The connector will lead players to a watery area between the two Teleport Waypoints in the Ad-Hoc Main Tunnel.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
