So, you’ve ventured into the depths of The Chasm in Genshin Impact and are faced with the formidable task of destroying the Bedrock Keys that block your progress. Fear not, intrepid traveler! The process involves a clever interplay of environmental mechanics and strategic combat. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to obliterate those pesky barriers.

The core mechanic revolves around the cage-shaped Geo formations scattered around the area. You’ll need to utilize Geograna, those glowing, jagged rocks pulsing with Geo energy, to power up these cages. Here’s the process:

1. Locate a Geograna: These rocks are usually found near the cage-shaped formations.
2. Destroy the Geograna: Use a Claymore character or a character with Geo abilities to break the Geograna. Doing so will release its energy core.
3. Guide the Core to the Cage: As you approach the cage formation, the glowing core of the Geograna will automatically fly towards and into the cage.
4. Activate the Cage: Once the core is safely inside the cage, strike the cage itself with any character’s weapon. This action will trigger the cage to fire a powerful projectile.
5. Target the Bedrock Key: Aim the projectile fired from the cage at the Bedrock Key. A successful hit will damage or destroy the key.
6. Repeat: You’ll likely need to repeat this process multiple times per key or across multiple Bedrock Keys depending on the specific quest requirements.

Essentially, you’re turning the environment against itself, using the Geograna’s power, contained and amplified by the cage, to shatter the otherwise impenetrable Bedrock Keys. Remember to keep your eye out for Geograna and cages near each Key to ensure you’re using the correct environmental objects to solve the puzzle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Bedrock Keys

These additional details will make your journey through The Chasm smoother, ensuring you’re well-equipped to handle any challenge the underground mines throw your way.

Unlocking the Chasm

1. What are the prerequisites for entering The Chasm? You must be at least Adventure Rank 28 and have completed the Archon Quest “Chapter 1: Act 3 – A New Star Approaches” to unlock The Chasm. Completing the World Quest “Surreptitious Seven-Star Seal Sundering” is also required to enter The Chasm Underground Mines.

Destroying the Bedrock

2. Are there other methods to destroy bedrock besides using the cage formations? No, the primary mechanic for destroying Bedrock Keys in The Chasm involves using the cage-shaped Geo formations powered by Geograna cores. There are no alternative methods provided within the game mechanics.
3. Can Geo Traveler construct to destroy bedrock keys? No, the Geo Traveler cannot use their Geo Constructs to destroy Bedrock Keys directly. Geo Constructs cannot interact with Geograna or activate the cage formations. The intended mechanic remains the only viable method.

The Geograna

4. Do I need a specific character level to break Geograna? No, the level of your character doesn’t directly affect your ability to break Geograna. However, a higher-level character with better weapons and artifacts will naturally deal more damage, making the process faster and easier.
5. What happens if the Geograna core disappears before I can get it to the cage? The Geograna core has a limited lifespan after you break the rock. If you’re too slow, it will disappear. Simply return to the Geograna rock and break it again to release a new core.

Cage Mechanics

6. Can I use any weapon to activate the cage? Yes, any weapon will work to activate the cage once the Geograna core is inside. The type of weapon used does not affect the projectile’s power or accuracy.
7. Does the character’s stats influence damage caused by the projectile? No, the damage dealt by the cage projectile is not influenced by the attacking character’s stats. The damage is fixed, based on the game’s pre-set values.
8. The cage formation isn’t firing a projectile; what am I doing wrong? Ensure the Geograna core is actually inside the cage. Sometimes, it might appear close but isn’t fully contained. Also, make sure you are hitting the cage itself, and not a nearby object. If all conditions are met and it is still not working, try leaving the area, then returning to it.
9. Is there a limit to how many times I can use a cage? No, there’s no limit to how many times you can use a cage. As long as there are Geograna nearby, you can continue to power the cage and fire projectiles.

Lumenstone Adjuvant

10. How does the Lumenstone Adjuvant factor into destroying the Bedrock Keys? While the Lumenstone Adjuvant is essential for navigating The Chasm and dealing with Oozing Concretions and Dark Mud, it does not directly affect the process of destroying Bedrock Keys. The Keys are destroyed through interaction with cages and Geogranum.
11. What happens if I run out of energy for my Lumenstone Adjuvant while exploring? If your Lumenstone Adjuvant runs out of energy, you’ll experience increased exposure to the negative effects of the environment. Recharge it by interacting with Lumenstone Pillars or using the portable Lumenstone Battery.

General Tips

12. Are there any specific character recommendations for this task? A Claymore user is highly recommended for quickly breaking the Geograna. Characters with Geo abilities can also be effective. Beyond that, any well-built DPS character will suffice.
13. How do I unlock the full map of The Chasm? To fully reveal the Underground Chasm map, you must complete “The Chasm Delvers” World Quest line.
14. What are the purple things in the Chasm, and how do I deal with them? The purple things are Oozing Concretions and Dark Mud. Use the Blooming Light ability from the Lumenstone Adjuvant to clear them. You’ll need to upgrade your Adjuvant to higher levels to clear the more potent versions.
15. Where can I find Lumenstone Ore to upgrade my Lumenstone Adjuvant? Lumenstone Ore is found throughout The Chasm, often in hidden locations or near challenging puzzles. Explore thoroughly and look for clues in the environment.

Hopefully, this guide equips you to conquer the depths of The Chasm and destroy those pesky Bedrock Keys. Good luck, and may your pulls be ever in your favor!
