The Ancient Fossils in Genshin Impact are the remains of some animals that can be found in the Underground Chasm. According to Khedive, these fossils are perfectly preserved. He theorizes that all these fossils were buried together in an instant. For that to happen, there must have been an intense change around The Chasm's geological environment, like a large shockwave.
If players wish to hear the full explanation from Khedive himself, they must take a picture of five Ancient Fossils around the Underground Chasm. This mission Paleontological Investigation in The Chasm Quest. Here’s how Travelers can find all the Ancient Fossil locations in Genshin Impact.
The Chasm’s Ancient Fossils Locations In Genshin Impact
For the first Ancient Fossil in Genshin Impact, go to the Teleport Waypoint north of The Chasm Main Mining Area. Then, drop to the ground level and go northwest. Players will find a small opening that leads to another section of The Chasm. Cross the bridge, then fight the Treasure Hoarders before taking pictures of the Ancient Fossil.
For the second Ancient Fossil in Genshin Impact, use either the Teleport Waypoint on the north or on the east of the Ad-Hoc Main Tunnel. Then, glide to the marked spot and find the Ancient Fossil around the ground level.
The third Ancient Fossil in Genshin Impact is hidden up above the Underground Chasm. To access it, use the Teleport Waypoint south of the Underground Waterway, then find an Anemo monument.
Activate the Anemo monument to release a wind current that assists players to glide far above. Make sure to touch the Wind Rings to boost the character further up. Other than the Ancient Fossil, Travelers can also find a Luxurious Chest somewhere in this tunnel.
Next, for the fourth Ancient Fossil in Genshin Impact, use the same Teleport Waypoint south of the Underground Waterway, then, walk south along the walls until players find some Hilichurls in front of the Ancient Fossil.
For the last Genshin Impact Ancient Fossil, use the Teleport Waypoint in The Glowing Narrows, then walk west. Keep following the path until players have to drop down to a watery area. The Ancient Fossil can be found around this part.
What Are Ancient Fossil Photos For In Genshin Impact?
After collecting five pictures of Genshin Impact’s Ancient Fossils, talk to Khedive at the explorer's camp. He will reward the Travelers for all the troubles.
Khedive is a researcher that hails from Sumeru. He is currently investigating the occurrences in The Chasm. As of version 2.6, he has three Genshin Impact quests for the players;
Paleontological Investigation
- Hydrological Investigation
- Mycological Investigation
If Travelers finish them all, the researcher will hand them an Academia Recommendation Letter. It is likely that this item will be useful in people’s journey in Sumeru. But for now, it is merely an addition to the player’s inventory.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
