Manitou is an analogue of fairies that appeared in Natlan along with the 5.0 Genshin Impact update. These little colorful spirits have lost their graffiti, so they will thank those who help them return home. In total, 46 of these babies can be found in the Pyro region. In this guide, we will help you find all the manitou, solve the puzzles associated with them, and get a series of related achievements.
Where to find all the manitou in Natlan in Genshin Impact
The map above shows the approximate location of all the flame spirits. Below we will tell you in more detail how to find them, and demonstrate the solution to the riddles associated with them.
Manitou 1
The first manitou can be found by the lake near the Archon Statue in the Children of Echo tribe. On the shore, you can notice a bright yellow crack. We turn into a tepetlizaur and hit it so that a spirit jumps out of the crack and leads us to its graffiti. For this we get an ordinary chest.
Manitou 2-3
The next manitou are located near the teleport on the slope of Tepeacaque. To solve their riddle, we climb into the round holes in the rocks and adjust the camera so that the drawings on the mountains and in the holes coincide. Two manitou will jump out from there and give us a rich chest.
Manitou 4
You can get to the fourth spirit from the previous location – it is located on a stone in the river. It is enough to just approach him so that he will lead us to his treasures.
Manitou 5
The fifth Manitou awaits us on the plateau near the Sulfur Veins. We deal with a group of Tepetlisaurs, and then follow the Manitou, who will give us a regular chest.
Manitou 6-8
Three more manitou are hiding on the neighboring plateau. We run to its opposite end to save the first manitou from a cage near a group of mobs.
To find the second spirit, go a little to the left of the unfinished graffiti, where on the rocks ash flowers grow. Hit the flowers to open them, another manitou will pop out of one of them.
The third spirit is located at the edge of the plateau near the rocks and pot-bellied plants. We move into the tepetlizaur and go underground to detect underground vibrations. We hit the circles on the ground, in one of them we will find the third manitou.
When all the spirits are collected, the precious chest will be unlocked.
At the same time, we can get the achievement “Manitou will show the way home I”.
Manitou 9-10
The ninth spirit can be found under the previous location. We plan down, there on a small trampled clearing the manitou sits sadly in front of the ashen. We hit the flower and find another manitou. Together, the kids lead us to a rich chest.
Manitou 11
The eleventh spirit is located in the Sulfur Veins. We carefully descend and see the graffiti spirit next to the molten crack. We possess the Tepetlizaur, jump into the crack and find ourselves next to an ordinary chest that the Manitu left for us.
Manitu 12
This spirit can also be found in the vicinity of sulfur veins. First, deal with the decaying incarnation of lava hiding in a crack, and then possess the tepetlizaur and dive underground, checking all the cracks. A manitou will jump out of one, for which you will receive a rich chest.
Manitou 13-15
Three spirits can be found along the shores of the lake near Witzley Hill and receive a generous reward for this. We will tell you how to do this in a separate guide.
Manitou 16
The sixteenth manitou is surrounded by anemo slimes near the Holy Fire Stadium. So an archer will be needed to burst all the slimes to free the manitou. For this, the spirit will reward us with a rich chest.
Note: After this, you will be able to get the achievement “Manitou Will Show the Way Home I”.
Manitou 17
This spirit is jumping around the clearing. When we approach it, it will lead us to its graffiti, but suddenly stops in fear of the wayob. We fight with the goddess to calm the baby and bring him to the graffiti. As a reward, we take a rich chest.
Manitou 18
The next spirit will help you open the quest “Treasures and Collectors”. Not far from the teleporter in the Pool of Countless Flames, find a crevice that leads to the ruins excavation site. The ticket seller at the entrance will ask you for 300 mora for entry and tell you about this place, launching this world quest. We go down into the ruins until we hit a wall.
To destroy it, we turn into a yumkazawar. We continue to move forward until we hit the bars. Our Tepetlisaur will help you dig up the activating stone.
We lift the grate and see a manitou in a cage, which is additionally locked with a stone with a hook. We possess the saurian again to first unlock access to the cage and release the spirit, and then open the way to his graffiti.
A phlogiston monument will appear, which will need to be activated, which will awaken the Mysterious Source Automaton. We fight the robot, after which we find a strange ball and get a precious chest. Then you can finish the passage of “Treasures and Collectors”.
Manitou 19-23
We find a clearing with a tepetlizaur and a group of forged sands that we need to deal with. After that, we move into the saurian and go underground, tapping vibrations to find a phlogiston monument, which, when activated, will open the Spirit Cave, where many manitou live. How to help them is explained in a separate guide.
Manitou 24
This spirit can be found near the waterfall. It will be more convenient to get to it from the Archon Statue. The spirit is on a sharp peak, to which you can jump from the mountain. Then it will move to another spike. We find a point for possession in the Yumkasaurus to jump to this spike. Manitou will continue its path and lead us to an ordinary chest.
Manitou 25
This manitou is hiding in one of the pools. For convenience, we deal with the mobs, then we possess the coholasaurus to break the boxes floating in the water, one of them will contain a graffiti spirit, which will reward us with an ordinary chest.
Manitou 26-28
We looked at three manitou that give a lot of chests in the territory of the Waters of Ameyalco in a separate guide.
Manitou 29
Attention! In order to help this manitou, you must first complete the quest chain “A Tale of Dreams Snatched from the Fire” and “The Seeker Does Not Find”.
We teleport to the sky island to transform into a coholasaurus and dive into the spiritual path that will lead us to another island. At the edge of the pool we find a manitou, who gives us a precious chest.
Manitou 30
Hanging in a lifebuoy on a tree. We deal with a group of mobs, then approach the spirit so that he takes us to the graffiti. We get a regular chest and a funnel of currents, which will help collect pyrocule.
Manitou 31
We approach the wall on which graffiti is visible and possess the yumkazwar, which will awaken the manitou in picture. The kid will lead us to an ordinary chest.
After this, we can get the final part of the achievement “Manitou Will Show You the Way Home I”.
Manitou 32-34
Three more manitou can be found at Tetikpak Peak. One of them is blocked by a block. We transform into a yumkazawar, climb up the wall (we can immediately move this block, because a manitou is also blocked under it), remove the hook from this block, jump down and hook the block in front of the cage to remove it.
We free the spirit, follow it to the top of the ruins.
The second manitou is on the destroyed wall in front of the cave entrance.
If you haven't freed the third manitou yet, remove the hook from the block below, climb up the wall and we hang a hook on this cube to move it.
Once all the Manitou are collected, they will unlock the Phlogeston Mechanism. We fill it and get a precious chest.
Manitou 35-40
These spirits are associated with broken rocks and graffiti throughout Natlan. This guide will help you find and collect them.
Manitu 41
Another manitou on the slope of Tetikpak. We fill the baby with phlogiston, but on the way to his graffiti, he stops. We explore the area around the stone, after which two large geo slimes will appear. We fight them, then again approach the spirit, he returns to the graffiti, the stone splits, and we get a rich chest.
Manitou 42
We find it in the vicinity of the Temple of Ancestors. We possess a yumkasaurus next to the graffiti, which awakens a spirit that leads us to a rich chest.
Manitu 43
Hides within the same location. From the teleport, simply go down and break the wall with the help of the yumkazavar. We get a regular chest.

Manitou 46
The last manitou is also located in the Temple of the Ancestors, it is most convenient to get to it by yumkasavr from the central teleport. We deal with the hilichurl that has hidden the spirit in a cage, then we go around the ruins of the wall to remove the blocking column. We release the manitou from the cage, in gratitude he gives us an ordinary chest.
These are all the manitou that can be found in Natlan in Genshin Impact. We hope that our guide will help you find them and solve the puzzles associated with them.
