Unlocking Genshin Impact’s Secrets: A Guide to Hidden Rooms
The world of Genshin Impact is brimming with secrets, tucked away in every corner of Teyvat. From cleverly concealed treasure chests to elaborate puzzles guarding valuable rewards, the game consistently rewards exploration and curiosity. One of the most exciting aspects of the game is the discovery of secret rooms, offering unique challenges, rewarding loot, and intriguing lore. So, where can you find these hidden havens?
While the term “secret room” can refer to several different hidden areas in Genshin Impact, there are a few prominent locations players often seek. One such location is south of the Evernight Temple’s island in Enkanomiya, beneath the Waypoint. Another popular secret room is in Dragonspine, accessible by unlocking a gate with three special boxes. This article will delve into the locations and how to access these secret areas and other hidden gems throughout Teyvat.
Unveiling the Enkanomiya Secret Room
Finding the Entrance
The Enkanomiya secret room is located south of the Evernight Temple’s island, directly under the Waypoint. Teleport to the Waypoint, then look over the edge. You’ll need to descend carefully, as falling can be fatal. The entrance is a small opening in the cliff face, easily missed if you aren’t looking directly for it.
What to Expect Inside
Inside this underground chamber, you will encounter a few enemies, so be prepared for a fight. The main reward for venturing here is a luxurious chest. The room is small but well-hidden, offering a decent reward for the effort.
Dragonspine’s Hidden Chamber: The Three Boxes
The Priest, Princess, and Scribe
The secret room in Dragonspine is locked behind a gate that requires three specific items to open: the Priest’s Box, the Princess’ Box, and the Scribe’s Box. Finding these boxes is a mini-quest in itself, aptly named “Dragonspine’s Last Trio”.
Locating the Boxes
-
Princess’ Box: Teleport to the waypoint near the Frostbearing Tree. Head east to find a sword stuck in the ground near a frozen lake. Interact with the sword to initiate a challenge. Complete the challenge to unlock a Luxurious Chest containing the Princess’ Box.
-
Priest’s Box: Teleport to the Starglow Cavern waypoint. Ascend to the top of the dilapidated tower structure. You’ll find a Luxurious Chest containing the Priest’s Box at the summit.
-
Scribe’s Box: Teleport to the waypoint near the Entombed City Outskirts. Proceed to the location where you find the stone tablet. Offer three Cecilia flowers (which can be found near Starsnatch Cliff) at the stone tablet location. A Luxurious Chest containing the Scribe’s Box will appear.
Unlocking the Secret Room
Once you have all three boxes, head to the cave marked on the map near the Statue of the Seven in Dragonspine. Interact with the gate, and the game will prompt you to use the three boxes. Doing so will open the gate, granting you access to the secret room.
Rewards Inside
Inside the Dragonspine secret room, you will find several chests with valuable materials, including weapons, artifacts, and other resources that can greatly aid your progress in the game.

- Seelie Courts: Follow the Seelies to their courts to unlock treasure chests.
