How do I unlock the hidden chest in the Starfell Valley in Genshin Impact?

To unlock the hidden chest in Starfell Valley in Genshin Impact, you need to complete a specific puzzle involving the Anemo element and environmental interactions. This chest is part of the game's exploration mechanics, which often require players to observe their surroundings and use elemental abilities to solve puzzles. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide to help you unlock this chest.

First, you need to locate the puzzle area in Starfell Valley. This area is near the Statue of The Seven in Mondstadt, close to the lake. You will notice three small Anemo monuments scattered around the area. These monuments are stone pillars with a glowing Anemo symbol on them. To activate them, you need to use an Anemo ability. Characters like the Traveler (Anemo), Sucrose, Jean, or Venti are ideal for this task. If you donÔÇÖt have an Anemo character, you can switch the TravelerÔÇÖs element to Anemo by interacting with an Anemo Statue of The Seven.

Once you have an Anemo character in your party, approach the first Anemo monument. Use an Anemo ability, such as the TravelerÔÇÖs Palm Vortex or SucroseÔÇÖs Wind Spirit Creation, to activate it. The monument will glow brighter, indicating that it has been successfully activated. Repeat this process for the other two monuments. ItÔÇÖs important to note that the monuments must be activated in a specific order. The correct order is usually indicated by the direction the wind is blowing or the position of the monuments relative to each other. If you activate them out of order, they will deactivate, and youÔÇÖll need to start over.

After all three monuments are activated, a hidden chest will appear. This chest is usually a Precious or Luxurious Chest, containing valuable loot such as Primogems, Mora, and artifacts. Make sure to open it to claim your rewards.

Here are some important tips and considerations. First, always ensure you have enough stamina to perform the necessary actions, especially if you need to climb or glide to reach the monuments. Second, pay attention to the environment. Sometimes, the wind currents or the position of the monuments can give you clues about the correct activation order. Third, if youÔÇÖre having trouble activating the monuments, try using a character with a wide-area Anemo ability, like VentiÔÇÖs Skyward Sonnet, to activate multiple monuments at once.

Common mistakes to avoid include activating the monuments out of order, not having an Anemo character in your party, and not paying attention to environmental clues. If you make a mistake, donÔÇÖt worry. The monuments will reset after a short period, allowing you to try again.

For advanced techniques, you can optimize your team composition to include characters with abilities that can help you reach the monuments more easily. For example, characters like Kazuha or Xiao can use their abilities to create wind currents or dash through the air, making it easier to reach high or distant monuments. Additionally, using characters with crowd control abilities can help you manage any enemies that might be in the area.

In terms of team composition, having at least one Anemo character is essential. You can also include characters with healing abilities, like Barbara or Qiqi, to ensure you stay healthy during any combat encounters. For damage, characters like Diluc or Keqing can help you deal with any enemies quickly.

Artifact and weapon recommendations depend on your team composition. For Anemo characters, the Viridescent Venerer artifact set is ideal, as it increases Anemo damage and reduces enemy resistance to Swirl reactions. For weapons, the Favonius Sword or the Skyward Blade are good options for the Traveler, while Sucrose can benefit from the Sacrificial Fragments catalyst.

In specific scenarios, you might encounter enemies near the monuments. In such cases, itÔÇÖs best to clear the area of enemies first to avoid interruptions. Use your teamÔÇÖs elemental reactions to deal with them efficiently. For example, combining Anemo with Pyro can create a Swirl reaction, dealing area-of-effect damage.

By following these steps and tips, you should be able to unlock the hidden chest in Starfell Valley and enjoy the rewards it offers. Happy exploring in Teyvat.
