Sumeru Hidden Achievements Guide (Part 1)

While Genshin Impact continues to give the best content there is for the Sumeru region, with Version 3.0 it prepared several hidden achievements scattered across the nation for Travelers to discover.

Without further ado, here are some of the hidden achievements you may or may not have gotten along the way as you continue to course through an arduous journey across the land of wisdom, Sumeru.

Song of Night and Dawn

Song of Night and Dawn is an achievement that can be done once you’ve extinguished all 7 flame torches scattered throughout Old Vanarana – each guarded by a Pyro Abyss Mage, and a Pyro Abyss Lector for the last one that you’ll have to defeat first.

Now Let Time Resume

Now Let Time Resume is an achievement that can be done after you’ve finished destroying all 16 stone locks that are tied to Ruin Machines in the Legends of the Stone Lock world quest. Here is a detailed guide provided by KyoStinV on how to complete this quest and get the achievement!

In the Name of Anfortas

In the Name of Anfortas is an achievement that can be done after you’ve managed to load up 5 damaged Ruin Guards using Lost Energy Blocks scattered throughout Sumeru.

Vamadha-Go-Round

Vamadha-Go-Round is an achievement that can be done once you’ve finished the Vimana Agama world quest. You can go down west from the Devantaka Mountains Statue of the Seven and then enter a cave – proceed deeper until you’ve entered a Tree-Hollow-Light. Afterwards, the Vamadha will appear and you can play the Vintage Lyre in front of it, use a normal attack, open the Common Chest inside and then get out of it.

However, that’s only the first chest. You have to get a second one in order to get this achievement!

For the second chest, this time you can go up north from the Devantaka Mountains Statue of the Seven as well, then enter a cave – proceed deeper until there’s a Vamadha. The same procedure goes – play the Vintage Lyre in front of it, use a normal attack, open the Common Chest inside and then get out of it. This time, well… voila!

Oh, Frabjous Day!

Oh, Frabjous Day! is an achievement that can be done once you’ve managed to dig through all 9 hidden Exquisite Chests scattered around Ashavan Realm. You’ll find that these chests are oddly empty until you’ll be given a treasure map where the real Precious Chest (this time with a real reward) can be found.

Open Sesame!

Open Sesame! is an achievement that can be done once you’ve finished the hidden world quest called “The Foolish Fatuus.” It can be triggered when you’ve managed to destroy 8 strange energy extraction devices scattered all throughout 8 Eremite camps found in Sumeru.

Swift as the Wind

Swift as the Wind is an achievement that can be done once you’ve activated 3 wind currents found within Mawtiyima Forest. To do this, you have to hit the Tri-Yana Seed that’s guarding it with an Electro ability for the wind current to reveal itself. Tri-Yana Seeds are those flying pants you might have seen already, and an exploration mechanic only found in Sumeru.

The Lengthy Reunion

The Lengthy Reunion is an achievement that can be done by following the solitary Sumpter Beast on a long walk of his own located near the Statue of the Seven in Vissudha Field. This achievement can have you hit tough spots and you may not get the reward immediately, so here is a speedrun guide provided by Noxxis Gaming so you won’t be hitting an unlucky dead end.

Music of the Forest

Music of the Forest is an achievement that can be done once you’ve collected all of the “Aranara’s Songs” – which can be obtained by completing the Aranyaka World Quest Series.

Weather Control Activated

Weather Control Activated is an achievement that can be done after you’ve finished doing the Varuna Gatha quest, where you’ll be able to access the Varuna Contraption mechanism located at the Apam Woods. You’ll get the achievement once you’ve changed the weather for the very first time.

The Tale of the Forest

The Tale of the Forest is an achievement that can be done once you’ve exchanged all “Stories of You and the Aranara” to the NPC Aravinay located near the Tree of Dreams in Varanara and obtain all blueprints of the Sumeru forgeable weapons.

The Random Circumstances of a Rose’s Blooming

The Random Circumstances of a Rose’s Blooming is an achievement that can be done when you’ve entered Collei’s home around Gandharva Ville. Enter her house and read the note that was found on her desk, then pick up the flower near the window and place it just outside to let it grow.

Come back tomorrow (in real-time daily reset) and read the new note on her desk again. Collei will thank you in her letter and you’ll get the achievement.

Explorer

Explorer is an achievement that can be done when you’ve hit a Tri-Yana Seed with an Electro ability. Tri-Yana Seeds are those flying pants you might have seen already, and an exploration mechanic only found in Sumeru.

Kara’s Child

Kara’s Child is an achievement that can be done on your first time interacting with the Four-Leaf Sigil exploration mechanic in Sumeru.

Three Strikes

Three Strikes is an achievement that can be done when you’re fighting the Jadeplume Terrorshroom. You have to bring an Electro unit for this one and attack the boss with Electro abilities until its Fury Bar reaches its maximum, which will activate 3 of its special skills before entering a vulnerable state. Make sure that you witness those 3 special attacks in order to get the achievement.

When Autumn and Dew Meet

When Autumn and Dew Meet is an achievement that can be done when you’re fighting the Electro Regisvine. Once he starts tossing his electrical seeds, don’t attack them for now and wait for him to drop a second one. Then, he will perform a charged electrical collision – you have to let him do it and attack your character.

Opportunistic Gain

Opportunistic Gain is an achievement that can be done when you’ve unlocked the Jadeplume Terrorshroom’s location. There is an area underneath it where you’ll be met with all kinds of Fungus enemies, so just run around in circles until you’ve gathered them all and wait until they start attacking each other (particularly the Floating Hydroshroom’s bubbles hit a different elemental Fungus), and you’re done!

Summit of Wisdom

Summit of Wisdom is an achievement that can be done once you’ve reached the highest point of Sumeru City. You just have to climb up the huge tree and reach the tallest branch, where a Dusk Bird stands atop and at the end of it.

“Get Over Here!”

“Get Over Here!” is an achievement that can be done when you’ve encountered a Winged Dendroshroom in the wilds. Basically just have a bow character present and use charged attack until it falls down; or if you have Kazuha, use his elemental skill to have the Dendroshroom dragged down alongside him.

“Han Always Shoots First…”

“Han Always Shoots First…” is an achievement that can be done when you’ve encountered an Eremite Sword-Dancer. Just wait until he starts to taunt you by swinging his sword in between his hands (there’s a voiced queue in this, in which he’d say “Come on, you coward!” at your character) – then shoot!

They Enter the Flow

They Enter the Flow is an achievement that can be done after you’ve finished doing the Varuna Gatha quest, where you’ll be able to access the Varuna Contraption mechanism located at the Apam Woods. This way, you’ll be able to change the weather, and then set it to “Circulate” as well as change the settings of your clock at around 12:00 noon or midnight afterwards.

Remember to use the Camera available on your profile and not the Kamera gadget when trying to get this achievement. Position your angle properly and just wait until the Varunastra starts to show up, capture the exact moment and – voila!

Now, these are just some of the hidden achievements that you’ll come across in your journey – and this concludes the first part of Genshin Impact 3.0 Sumeru Hidden Achievements guide.

A second part is on the way, so stay tuned!
