Genshin Impact has something new to offer to its fans. A new domain, the Lost Valley, has been introduced into Teyvat in the 2.6 update. But you can find it hard to get your way inside The Chasm. The Valley has two incredibly useful artifact sets: Echoes of an Offering and Vermillion Hereafter, which gives a nice boost to characters like Xiao or Kamisato Ayato. Even if you don’t have these characters, the domain’s 2-piece artifact bonuses are universally helpful.
Preparation: What You’ll Need
Before heading off to The Chasm in Liyue, there are a few requirements you need to take care of:
- Adventure Rank (AR) 22 or higher – You can’t even step foot into the Chasm if you aren’t at least this high in rank.
- Complete Archon Quest “Prologue: Act 3” – Without finishing this quest, the Lost Valley farm remains out of your reach.
- Geo Character – Geo Traveler works perfectly for this, but if you have Zhongli, Ningguang, Albedo, or Itto, they’re also great choices for solving the puzzle that unlocks the domain.
Further, you must unlock The Chasm’s Statue of the Seven before doing anything. This will reveal the complete map so you can travel ahead with ease.
Genshin Impact The Lost Valley Domain Location
The Lost Valley Domain is hidden in a place called Fuao Vale, which is southeast of The Chasm’s surface area. To reach it, head to this area and look for a big, glowing rock with a Geo symbol on it, known as the Unique Rock. You’ll also see a Pressure Plate nearby – this is the key to unlocking the domain.
How to Open the Domain
- First, you’ll need to place a Geo Construct on the Pressure Plate near the entrance. Geo Traveler’s construct works, but Zhongli’s pillar is also good if you have him.
- Once the Geo Construct is in place, Wind Rings will appear in the air behind you. Use these to glide through the air and head toward the large glowing rock at the end of the wind current.
- After getting to the rock, hit it with Geo ability. This will send out Resonant Quakes, which will trigger the surrounding rocks to shake and eventually break the wall blocking the domain.
- Go back to the Pressure Plate, and a cutscene will trigger, showing the unique rock shattering. Congratulations – the path to the Lost Valley is now open.
Like many domains, the Lost Valley features Ruin Automatons, such as Ruin Guards, Ruin Destroyers, and Ruin Graders, depending on the level you’re taking on. These guys are no pushovers, so make sure to bring characters that deal with Elemental Damage. Physical damage dealers are not recommended here since these robots have high resistance to physical attacks.
For a bit of strategy, if you’re struggling with Ruin Graders, use a Bow character to target their weak spots. This will disable them, giving you a better shot to put some good damage without getting wrecked.
Rewards Inside The Lost Valley
As already discussed, the main rewards you can get from The Lost Valley are the Echoes of an Offering and Vermillion Hereafter artifact sets:
- Echoes of an Offering: Boosts normal attack damage, making it a great set for characters like Kamisato Ayato, Yoimiya, and Tartaglia (Childe).
- Vermillion Hereafter: The right option for Xiao, as it increases attack power significantly when HP drops.
Additionally, you might also get some 4-star artifacts like Martial Artist and Gambler.
