Revelations of the Past in Genshin Impact is the final quest in the “Between Promise and Oblivion” quest chain, one of the quests in the world of Natlan. The Traveler and his Saurian friend go on a pilgrimage to a volcano. During their adventure, they will have to solve several riddles, learn the secrets of the past, and win a fight with a beast corrupted by the abyss.
In this article, we told you how to pass all the sage's tests, get several achievements, and take possession of the gift of the Lord of Fire.
How to Start the Revelations of the Past Quest
The quest is available immediately after completing the previous quest, The Brave's Ritual. It can be tracked in the quest menu, and the starting location is in the north of Natlan.
Revelations of the Past Quest Walkthrough
From the place where the battle with the Echo Children tribe chief took place, head to the ruins to the west. The entrance to the dungeon is surrounded by an earthen rift, tall trees, and stone columns.
After descending, travelers will encounter two Lesser Rip Hounds. Defeat them before proceeding to the main walkthrough of the quest.
Place the Talisman on the Platform
Use the Tribal Chieftain's Proof obtained earlier: place it on the stone slab to open the descent into the ruins.
A prompt will appear on the screen warning that for greater immersion in the story, it is recommended to perform the quest continuously in your free time. However, walking through the ruins will not count as a dungeon challenge, allowing you to switch to another activity without losing progress. The total time to complete the quest will be at least 30 minutes.
Disable the barrier to descend into the ruins
Manku explains that the Ruins Trials will require the human and Saurian to constantly interact together. Throughout the trial, the gold sensor will be for the traveler, and the green sensor will be for the accompanying Saurian.
Stand on the gold-colored sensor, and then switch to your Saurian friend using the “T” key. While controlling him, take a place on the green sensor to open the barrier.
Search the ruins
Go down the stairs into the ruins. Around the right turn is a teleporter, a rich chest, and a hole in the floor leading to the lower level of the ruins.
Open the Barrier
Glide down, then turn onto the stairs. In the new room, the traveler will hear the voice of the Fire Lord, and the door can be unlocked by solving the puzzle with sensors.
Switch the lever to green. Wait until the platforms change their position, and the path to the left side of the hall will open.
On the left side is a Pyrocule and a Pyro monument hidden under some rocks. Use the Saurian's normal attack to dig up the monument, then light the monument with any Pyro character to create a path to the green sensor.
Switch back to the Saurian and go to the right side of the room. Use the Elemental Skill analogue to climb up the vertical wall. At the top, there will be the same lever as at the bottom – switch it to orange.
Switch to the player character and stand on the platform under the gold sensor. Switch back to the saurian and move the lever back to the green state. If everything is done correctly, the player character will be in the area of ​​the gold sensor, and the saurian will be able to reach the green sensor.
After talking to Paimon and the Saurian companion, you can continue searching the ruins. Climb the stairs to the treasure chest and listen to the message for the dragon messenger.
Glide over the liquid phlogiston and turn right, activate the teleporter and go to the next room with a huge drawing on the wall.
Walk down the hallway
This time, the companions' paths will split. Switch to the Saurian and take him to the right passage with a green mark, and the traveler to the left, under the gold mark.
Unlock the Mechanism
The riddle of this stage must be solved in two rooms, switching between the Saurian and the traveler.
Puzzle 1 (Zavrian)
Using the Zavrian, go deeper into the ruins until you reach the natural area. Keeping to the right side, climb the hill. Keep in mind that you can't go down into the water with the companion dragon.
Once you've climbed the hill, smash the pile of rocks to get a rich chest and head towards the huge orange crystal. Use the Teleptisaurus' normal attack on it to smash the rocks at the base.
A Resonating Crystal will appear in place of the pile of rocks. Hit it with a normal attack to create resonance.
The resonance will trigger four more orange cubes to appear. Hit each of them to trigger the giant crystal to fall.
Walk over the fallen crystal and cross the pool via the hollow tree. Climb the path above – at the foot of the second giant crystal is a resonating cube.
Hit the cube. This time, after hitting it, one additional cube will appear on the left side, and so on after each resonance launched. Resonate with a total of five cubes to knock down two crystals and pave the way for the Saurian to reach the platform with the Pyrocule.
Proceed to the platform. Further on, the path for the saurian will be blocked; switch to control of the traveler to continue solving the puzzle.
Second puzzle (character)
The hero will find himself on the edge of a platform, below which there is liquid phlogiston. Crossing the laser line will not cause damage to the character, but will provoke an increase in the phlogiston level so much that the character will drown in it.
Go down one level. Break the unstable wall with normal or Geo attacks, collect the Pyrocule, and go up the stairs on the left.
At the top, open the rich chest and turn around in the opposite direction. Using the glider, fly over the lasers and go left along the lattice platforms.
You will find yourself in a room with a mechanism that needs to be activated. The path to it is blocked by a grid of lasers. You can easily get over them with the help of characters who can rise into the air, or go between the beams for short characters on the right or left side.
Once you're near the mechanism, press “Control” to turn off the lasers and open the door on the other side of the room.
Head to the open passage. Once you reach the green lever, switch it to orange to pave the way to the precious chest and activate the movement of the platforms in the location where the saurian is located.
Switch to control the dragon companion and walk along the platforms to the green sensor, then return to control the game character.
Move forward. At the end of the road, you will find a puzzle with four Pyro monuments. You cannot light them with Pyro attacks – the monuments go out very quickly. To solve the puzzle, go up the stairs and hit one of the lasers. The phlogiston level will begin to rise, simultaneously activating the mechanisms.
Before the liquid phlogiston level drops, climb up and activate the mechanism to open the gate. Stand in the area of ​​the gold sensor. If for some reason you did not move the saurian earlier to the area of ​​the green mark, use the switch on the wall to adjust the position of the platforms.
When the story marker moves forward, go down the hallway to the painting on the wall and take a position under the golden marker. Switch to the saurian and go deeper into the room, standing on the green mark near another painting.
Meet Your Saurian Companion
After reading the message, reunite with the teleptaurian: go through the passage on the left, collect the rewards from the precious chest and take a position on the golden sensor.
Switch to the Saurian and jump down to the platform below.
Walk through the lava
After the cutscene is over, you can go down the stairs to the battlefield. You will have to fight the Golden Wolf Alpha, which is no different from the boss that lives in the open world. It is recommended that before going down, you put in your squad first of all characters that ensure the survival of the squad: shielders and healers, since in the battle with the boss, the saurian companion will be able to help you and inflict significant damage to the enemy.
Fight in battle
Defeat several waves of Lesser Rip Hounds. When the Wolf Pack appears, focus on surviving and dealing damage to it until the health bar enters the blue frame.
In this state, you will not be able to deal damage to the enemy. When an additional bar appears under the health bar, deal elemental damage to him to remove the shield.
Also, at a certain point, your Saurian companion will awaken the power of the Fire Lord and will be able to inflict significant damage to the boss.
Touch the inscription and move forward
Once the battle is over, tap the inscription to go to a new location. Follow the quest marker to reach the center of the island and receive the Firelord's gift.
