Genshin Impact: How to Solve The Dune of Carouses Puzzle Guide

One of the new locations that you can come across during your adventure in the new desert area in Sumeru is The Dune of Carouses. This is essentially a huge pyramid that you can find northeast of The Mausoleum of Deshret.

In this pyramid, you can find a handful of puzzles to solve. And in this guide, I’ll show you the solutions to all of these puzzles.

Before anything else, you need to complete the entire Golden Slumber quest line first. This is the only way that you can enter the area. Once you completed the questline, head over to this part of the map:

As soon as you get there, simply go inside the pyramid and keep going straight until you get inside the room with a square hole on the ground. Before you drop down to the lower level, turn right first and enter the small room to the right.

Here, you’ll find a locked chest, a Replicator Keystone, and a Primal Light. Obtain the Primal Light and then go back to the earlier room and drop down the square hole. Turn left and keep going forward until you come across a ruin device.

Interact with the device twice to rotate it, creating a Primal Beam that goes to the other side of the room. At the end is a Replicator Keystone which you need to step on to in order to summon an Obscuring Cell. Interact with the cell to keep the Primal Light inside.

This will then remove the wall and the barrier to reveal another device behind it. You can then loot the Common Chest in the middle of the room.

Final Puzzle

After that, head up the stairs and obtain yet another Primal Light. Keep moving forward then turn left. Here, you’ll find yet another locked chest with two Replicator Keystones. This is actually the first chest you found earlier on.

To solve this, simply step on the first keystone to summon an Obscuring Cell and interact with it to place the Primal Light.

Afterward, step on the second keystone to summon a ruin device. It will then shine a Primal Beam, causing the chest to open. On the corner of the second keystone, you’ll find a small crack that you drop down to. There will be enemies on the lower floor, so be careful.

Head forward and look for the platform with the airstream going upward. This is where you dropped earlier on. Just let the airstream take you to the uppermost floor. This floor will contain an Exquisite Chest that you can simply loot on the ground.
