Panjwahe Temple in Genshin Impact: how to open and pass

In Genshin impact, the Panjwahe Temple is a single-use dungeon in the Twilight Desert, where the reward is given out only once after passing the combat challenge associated with the destruction of deserters and primordial structures. To open it, you will have to solve a small puzzle with stones and symbols. In this guide, we will tell you how to find, unlock and clear this dungeon.

How to find and open the Panjwahe Temple

The passage to it is located northeast of Mount Damavand, located in the Hadramavet desert. In theory, you can get to this location after completing the Archons quest “Song of Dragon Freedom” and reaching the 28th adventure rank, however, we advise you to follow the main story and start searching at least after the mission “Dreams, Emptiness and Deception”, within which you will visit the desert area for the first time in the story. Reach the teleport shown on the map below, and then continue northeast.

The entrance to the dungeon is on the surface, so you do not need to climb into any caves or underground tunnels. The blocked gate is located right at the foot of the cliff. To open the passage to the dungeon, you will need to bring two fairies to their “houses”.

How to solve the puzzle with stones and symbols

The first fairy is right next to the gate – she will hover next to the six cobblestones with symbols. To solve the riddle, you will need to match the runes on the large stones with the signs on the small ones. However, you should be aware that the spirit will change symbols for them when approaching large boulders, so you will need to run right behind him so that he does not have time to knock your alignment.

Thus, stand next to the boulders, wait until the fairy flies up to one of them and changes the symbol on it, and then immediately run to it and match the sign on the large stone with the rune on the small one (to do this, hit the large stone) . Then run to the next boulder that the spirit hit earlier and do the same.

When the symbols on all three pairs of stones match, the fairy will stop circling around them. Approach her and bring her to the pedestal near the entrance to the dungeon.

Where to find the second fairy

Stand near the gate and turn the camera to the right – you will surely see the spirit you need in the distance at the beginning of the cliff. Run to him. Here you will meet the Dragon of Ruins: Guardian of the Sky, who will immediately attack you. Deal with the automaton (preferably the presence of archers or catalysts in the squad), and then bring the fairy to the “house”.

As a result, you will receive a regular chest, and the gate to the dungeon will open, and you can activate it, which will allow you to teleport here at any time.

Preparing to clear the Panjwahe Temple

Recommended characters< /h3>

• Required adventure rank: 28
• Recommended character level: at least 30
• Best elements: Electro and Dendro

< li>Ground Artery Anomaly: When the Growth or Aggravate reaction is applied, an Electro shockwave appears in its place, inflicting true Electro damage in an area. The effect can occur once every 6 seconds.

Given the anomaly, we advise you to assemble a team playing through Stimulation (Dendro + Electro) and its derivatives: Sprawl and Aggravation. This will allow you to constantly deal additional Electro damage to enemies, which will allow you to defeat them faster. However, characters of other elements are also suitable for killing the opponents present in this dungeon.

In this dungeon, you will have to fight deserters, both ordinary and elite ones. These enemies can be easily pulled to the right places with the help of whirlwinds, so you can take the appropriate Anemo heroes (Sucrose, Venty, Kazuha) into the squad.

In addition, deserters have low resistance to physical damage (-20%), so commands aimed at inflicting this type of damage will be especially effective. You can also take Cryo and Electro fighters to create a Superconductor (further lowers resistance to physical damage). Freeze (Cryo + Hydro) works well against pristine constructs, preventing them from despawning.

Of course, do not forget about healers and shields, which will help you defend against enemy attacks and heal allies when their health drops to a critical level. For example, Kokomi is an excellent healer and quickly applies the “wet” status to enemies, and Zhong Li creates the best shield in the game.

The table below shows several optimal commands for this dungeon. I just refer to them when building my own squad.

Primary DPS	Secondary DPS	Minor DPS/Support	Support
Al-Haytham (Tignari)	Yae Miko (Lisa, Bei Dou)	Nahida	Jung Li < /td>
Al-Haytham	Xing Qiu	Raiden	Yao Yao
Al-Haytham	Xing Qiu	Fischl	Shinobu Cookies
Tignari	Fischl	Colles	Dione
Tignari	Yae Miko	Ye Lan	Zhong Li
Eola	Raiden	Rosary	Zhong Li
Eola	Fischl	Chong Yun	Zhong Li
Hu Tao	Xing Qiu	Kazuha	Zhong Li
Ayaka	Shen He (Ayato)	Kadhuha	Kokomi

Food and Potions Selection

If you're having trouble destroying the hermits and pristine constructs, then try strengthening your characters with a variety of potions, oils, and foods. For example, Forest Oil and Thunder Oil can increase the damage of Dendro and Electro fighters.

Food, on the other hand, needs to be selected based on what combat characteristic you want to strengthen. To increase attack power, Fragrant Puree, Grow Mountain, Adept's Temptation, and Cold Meats are suitable. Lotus Cookies, Unagichazuke, and Three Tastes Soup will help you increase your defense or healing received.

Mirage Altar Dungeon Walkthrough

A normal combat test awaits you. Approach the red mark and interact with it. You will need to deal with 12 opponents who will attack you in waves. There are no time limits, so you don’t have to rush and don’t try to pour everything into the attack – watch the health and protection of your characters.

As part of the first wave, you will need to defeat the primordial constructs. Use elemental attacks against them that create reactions. Aggravate and Growth will work particularly well. After that, ordinary and elite deserters will attack you. First, we advise you to deal with the crossbowmen so that they do not get under your feet. Then start hitting strong enemies.

In the third wave, you will be attacked by 3 primordial constructs at once, and in the fourth you will need to defeat the Windhunter and two crossbowmen. After passing the test, you will receive 40 source stones, 35 thousand pestilence, 5 seals of Dendro, 2 hero experience, 2 instructions about “Wit”, 4 magic ores of strengthening and 1 part of the “Chronicles of the Halls in the Desert” set. Don't forget to open the precious chest as well.
