Genshin Impact ‘Somalata Inland Sea’ domain guide — new for patch 3.6

Genshin ImpactPatch 3.6 was added to the Girdle of the Sands, a new area in Sumeru’s desert. There are two new domains for you to unlock including the “Somalata Inland Sea” which is a one-time dungeon locked behind a puzzle. Keep reading for the solution to this puzzle to unlock your Primogems or Dendro Sigils.

Where to find the “Somalata Inland Sea” Domain

The “Somalata Inland Sea” domain is only gated by a Dendro puzzle, so make sure to come with a Dendro user. The domain can be found in the southeastern section of the Vourukasha Oasis, which can be found after you enter this large cavern, which we’ve marked in the image below:

Once you arrive, you’ll find the half-submerged domain entrance with four Dendro pillars scattered around the area. There is a large painting behind each Dendro-pillar with a drum score note and several dots below. To hit every pillar, you must go from the Dendro Pillar with just one dot to its rear up until the Dendro Pillar with four dots in front. Please refer to the following:

Keep in mind that you don’t have to hit each Dendro pillar with a plunge attack like the note on the wall suggests. Any type of Dendro attack and ability is sufficient.
