Tablets in Genshin Impact: where to find in the Sumeru Desert (map)

In Genshin Impact, the tablets are a kind of “keys” necessary to activate the primordial obelisks and receive valuable rewards. You can find these consumable items in various parts of the Sumeru Desert. In this guide, we will show the location of the tablets on an interactive map and explain in detail how to get them.

Preparing to collect the tablets

Quests

Before embarking on the search for these stone tablets, you should definitely go through the following tasks and chains:

• The “Golden Dreamland.
• Ancient Language, New Knowledge Mission Line
• Afratu's Dilemma World Quest

These quests will give you access to locations where some of the tablets are hidden, and will give you the right level of special Power to interact with the plinths of the secret rites. During the passage of quests, we do not advise you to pick up the plates, otherwise you will later forget where you have already taken them and where you have not. However, you can simply mark the collected tablets on our interactive map below.

Types of tablets

It should be noted that there are 17 types of ancient plates, which differ from each other by the symbol on the front side and the name. Primordial Obelisks may require specific types of Tablets to unlock. The table below shows each variety.

However , you don't have to worry about the types of the tablets, as you end up having to collect them all anyway – just follow the route we've provided below.
