Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Explore the cave and enter the ruins: Glide down into the cave. Before reaching the bottom, head to the north platform to find a Common Chest encased in stone; break it with a claymore or magic. Continue to the bottom and head east. You'll find another Common Chest behind a dilapidated wall. Continue east to a lake, then head north across it. East of three Cor Lapis deposits, find another Common Chest concealed by shrubbery. Continue east to a glowing marker to enter the one-time Domain “Of Mysteries and Salt”.
  2. 2
    Explore further and look for divine relics: Inside the Domain, follow the path to the Door of Resurrection. Head north and defeat the Hilichurls. To reach the platform above, use Zhongli’s Elemental Skill, Dominus Lapidis, to create a Geo Pillar and climb it. Use the pillar again to reach the next platform. Continue north to a Relic on a pedestal, triggering a cutscene. A door to the west opens; defeat the four Hilichurls inside. Head south to two circular pressure plates. Place a Geo construct on one plate and stand on the other to open the next door. Proceed through to find another Relic and trigger another scene.
  3. 3
    Punish Kliment: After the second relic scene, you will need to fight Fatui Kliment, an enhanced Fatui Pyro Agent. Use Zhongli’s shield (hold Elemental Skill) to negate damage. Kliment uses invisibility, a spinning knife guard, a charge attack, knife throws, and summons Pyro clones. Use Hydro and Electro, or AoE skills like Ganyu’s Celestial Shower. Attacking him while invisible can stun-lock him.
  4. 4
    Talk to Zhongli and Wanyan: After defeating Kliment, a cutscene will play where Zhongli questions Wanyan.
  5. 5
    Proceed deeper within: Head south, then east to find a Common Chest. Go back and continue south, gliding to the next platform. Place Zhongli’s Geo construct on the pressure plate, climb it, and glide to the other platform to open a Common Chest. Go between the three totems and hold Zhongli’s Elemental Skill to activate them, unlocking a device. Activate the device to open the door. Continue east and defeat the Hilichurls.
  6. 6
    Catch up to Wanyan: (This step is implied by the quest progression but not detailed in the provided text.)
Tips
  • When fighting Kliment, keep Zhongli’s shield active at all times.
  • Use AoE attacks to quickly defeat Kliment’s Pyro clones.
  • If Kliment goes invisible, use Elemental Skills that apply an elemental status to reveal his silhouette.
  • Zhongli’s Geo Pillar is crucial for reaching higher platforms within the Domain.
