How do I unlock the hidden domain in Kannazuka Island in Genshin Impact?

To unlock the hidden domain in Kannazuka Island, known as the "Moshiri Kara" domain, you need to complete a series of steps involving puzzles and combat. This domain is part of the "Tatara Tales" world questline, which is essential for unlocking the area and gaining access to the domain. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide to help you through the process.

First, you need to start the "Tatara Tales" questline. This quest becomes available after reaching Inazuma and completing the Archon Quest "Ritou Escape Plan." Head to the Kujou Encampment in Kannazuka Island and speak to Toranosuke, who will give you the quest. The quest involves helping the NPCs at the Mikage Furnace, a large structure in the center of Kannazuka Island. The furnace is surrounded by a dangerous energy field, and your goal is to stabilize it.

The first step is to activate three towers around the Mikage Furnace. These towers are protected by Electro barriers, which you need to disable. To do this, you must defeat the Electro Samachurls and Hilichurls guarding each tower. Once the enemies are defeated, interact with the mechanism to lower the barrier and activate the tower. This will reduce the energy field around the furnace, making it safer to approach.

After activating all three towers, you will need to enter the Mikage Furnace itself. Inside, you will find a series of puzzles involving Electro Seelies and pressure plates. Follow the Electro Seelies to their destinations, and step on the pressure plates to open doors and progress further. Be prepared for combat, as there are several Fatui enemies inside the furnace. A well-balanced team with strong DPS and support characters is recommended for this part.

Once you reach the core of the furnace, you will face a mini-boss, the Perpetual Mechanical Array. This enemy has multiple phases and can summon smaller machines to assist it. Focus on destroying the smaller machines first, as they can overwhelm you if left unchecked. Use characters with strong elemental reactions, such as Pyro or Cryo, to deal with the boss effectively. After defeating the Perpetual Mechanical Array, you will stabilize the furnace and complete the "Tatara Tales" questline.

With the furnace stabilized, the energy field around the Mikage Furnace will dissipate, revealing the hidden domain, Moshiri Kara. The domain is located on a small island to the northeast of the furnace. To reach it, you can use the Waverider, a boat available in Inazuma, or glide from a nearby high point. Once you arrive at the island, interact with the domain entrance to unlock it.

When preparing for the domain, consider your team composition. A balanced team with a strong DPS character, a healer, and support characters is ideal. Characters like Hu Tao, Ganyu, or Ayaka are excellent choices for DPS, while Bennett or Jean can provide healing and support. For elemental reactions, characters like Xingqiu or Fischl can be very effective.

Artifact and weapon choices are also important. For DPS characters, focus on artifacts that increase attack, critical rate, and critical damage, such as the GladiatorÔÇÖs Finale or ShimenawaÔÇÖs Reminiscence sets. For support characters, artifacts that boost energy recharge and elemental mastery, like the Noblesse Oblige or Viridescent Venerer sets, are beneficial. Weapons should complement your charactersÔÇÖ roles, with high attack weapons for DPS and energy recharge weapons for support.

In summary, unlocking the hidden domain in Kannazuka Island involves completing the "Tatara Tales" questline, solving puzzles, and defeating enemies. Prepare a balanced team, optimize your artifacts and weapons, and be ready for combat. By following these steps, you will successfully unlock the Moshiri Kara domain and gain access to its rewards.
