The lush fantasy world of Genshin Impact is teeming with fascinating characters, fearsome monsters – and cool secrets.
As you travel from bustling Liyue Harbor to the foreboding Stormbearer Mountains in this blockbuster open-world RPG, you’ll find hidden chests and tricky challenges that promise valuable rewards – but only if you know where to look!
Break out your map and make some room in your backpack for these secret finds:
Bank bonus
Find it in: Northland Bank in Liyue Harbor
How to get it: Locating this hidden haul is astonishingly simple. After entering the bank, head up the stairs to the right of the receptionist to find a chest filled with 200,000 Mora in a dead-end hallway. Ka-ching!
Sound rewards
Find it in: The settings menu
How to get it: This one’s a cinch. Hop into the audio settings menu and drag the dialogue volume slider back and forth between zero and 10 until your exasperated sidekick finally says, “Hey, are you just messing with Paimon?” You’ll earn an achievement, plus a nice little in-game reward of five Primogems.
Splashy premium
Find it in: Stormbearer Mountains
How to get it: Ready for a hike? Head to the northern shoreline and look for the waterfall. Climb to the top, then glide down to the small stone platform at the base of the falls. A Luxurious chest awaits – as long as you can stick the landing!
Team tip
Find it in: Heart Island
How to get it: For a lovely co-op surprise, go to the unnamed island east of Yaoguang Shoal (cross the ocean by making an ice bridge with Kaeya). Step on the heart-shaped stone formation with a friend and a Luxurious chest will magically appear. You’ll also earn the secret Unswerving achievement.
Elemental perk
Find it in: Any domain
How to get it: Once you’ve assembled a sizable roster, form a party with four heroes of the same elemental type. Head into a domain (the dungeons with the templelike entrances) and complete a challenge without any character dying. You’ll nab the secret Fantastic Four achievement, along with 10 Primogems.
