What Is A Shrine of Depths?
In Genshin Impact, there is a unique source of long-lost loot, the Shrine of Depths. Left abandoned by an ancient civilization, these structures lay scattered across the lands of Teyvat, waiting for treasure-hungry adventurers to loot them. To unlock their secrets, you will need special shrine keys, obtained as quest and domain rewards. Since the shrines contain luxurious chests that give out 40 primogems and a ton of other presents, they are worth the trouble of hunting them down. Here’s a guide to help you find every Shrine of Depths in Liyue so you can earn the “Sanctuary Pilgrim: Liyue” achievement. There are 10 shrines and 10 keys to look for.
Where to Find Shrine Keys for Liyue
Liyue’s shrine keys can be obtained by completing domains and quests.
From domains, you can earn four keys:
- Domain of Forsaken Ruins – Complete “Lucky Encounter in the Clouds.”
- Domain of the Wayward Path – Clear “Tarry Among the Peach Blossoms.”
- Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula – Finish “Voyage to the Sanguine Sky” and “Travels of the Moonlit Venturer” for one key each.
As for quests, you can obtain six keys:
- Three keys can be earned from completing your second adventure rank ascension. This quest is automatically given to you when you hit adventure rank 35, and it raises your world level from 3 to 4. To do it, you’ll need to head to the Midsummer Courtyard domain in Mondstadt and clear the trial inside.
- “The Chi of Yore” gives one key.
- “The Tree Who Stands Alone” gives one key.
- Treasure Lost, Treasure Found” gives one key upon completion of part two.
