In Genshin Impact, the Spirit Cave is a secret location where you can find precious and luxurious chests, as well as get the achievement “Collect the scattered, elusive colors”. However, to get into it and get the treasures, you need to solve a number of puzzles with manitou and graffiti. In this guide, we will tell you how to get to this area and solve all the riddles in it.
Where to find the Spirit Cave in Natlan in Genshin Impact
Travel to the teleporter south of the Stadium of the Holy Flame, then start heading northeast, climbing up the ledge and walking to the edge of the cliff. Jump down into the ravine with the river and waterfall, then turn around to face the cliff. You will find three guards here and a locked entrance to the cave.
How to open the entrance to the Spirit Cave
First, deal with all the enemies here so that they don't get in your way later. Then transform into the nearby Tepetlizaur (press “T”). Then go to the flaming seed, stock up on energy and hit the column in front to activate it.
Now fill this pillar with phlogiston to open the passage to the cave. Go inside and hit the ground with red crystals in the shape of a saurian (LMB) to destroy the floor and fall down. Do this 3 more times until you get to the secret area. As a result, you will unlock the achievement “Happiness is not repeated”.
Solving all the puzzles with manitou in the Cave of Spirits
In this cave you will find several graffiti, to which you will need to lead the manitou (a kind of fairies) located here. They are hidden in different corners of this location and below we will tell you how to find them all.
Bring four manitou
Once in the cave, transform into a Tepetlisaur if you are not in Saurian form, then ignore the manitou on the right (you will return to it later) and go forward, then left to reach the main hall. Here, turn right, then climb the rock on the left to reach the passage and find the 1st manitou you need.
Go underground (press “E”) and start leading the manitou forward, detonating the mines in front of you. To do this, you need to stand in the radius of their explosion, and then quickly bounce away from them so as not to take damage. The gif below shows the entire path (don't forget to pick up the pyrocule). This will lead the baby to his brother.
Start leading two manitou to the passage, but it will suddenly close. Go up to them and click on the inscription “Is there another way?” to open the exit on the right. There you will suddenly find the 3rd manitou. Start leading them all forward, collecting the rich chest along the way. When they get to the edge of the ledge, tell them “We're safe” and they'll go down.
Glide after the kids and run forward – you will see a group of gathered Manitou in the distance. Now it remains to find their fourth friend. Run even further, replenishing phlogiston along the way, walk along the wooden platform and turn right to find the 4th fairy. Fill her with phlogiston, and she will happily join her friends.
Bring Three Manitou
Go right again and approach the rock ahead where the Hydro Slimes have gathered. Deal with them and approach the group of three Manitou. Tell them they are safe and watch a short cutscene.
Restore Graffiti
Return to the main room with the rock carving and approach the group of four manitou. Click on the “Restore Graffiti” inscription and watch a short video in which the fairies clean the drawing.
As a result, two precious and one luxurious chests will appear near you. Plus, you will unlock the secret trophy “Collect the scattered elusive colors”. However, that's not all, because you can find other valuable items in the cave.
Collect the remaining treasures
Head to the far northern alcove of the cave and you'll find a treasure chest near a waterfall.
Return to the main hall, turn right and climb the rock on the right side. Here you will find a rich chest on a wooden platform.
Next, climb the opposite cliff with the help of Tepetlisaur and glide from it to the boulder in the center of the cave to pick up the pyrocoleum.
This completes the exploration of the Spirit Cave in Natlan in Genshin Impact. We hope that our guide helped you solve all the puzzles in it.
