How to investigate the courtyard far down the corridor in Genshin Impact
When you revisit Haypasia during the 'Through Mists of Smoke and Forests Dark' Archon Quest, the traveler will be sucked into a Domain of sorts, and must explore the strange place during the new 'Silent Seeker of Knowledge' quest section.
About halfway into 'Silent Seeker of Knowledge', after going through the yellow door at the top of the large tree, you'll find yourself in a courtyard with a locked door on your left. This locked door has a yellow symbol on it, which you must recreate by solving the puzzle in this room.
To continue with your 'Silent Seeker of Knowledge' quest and investigate the courtyard far down the corridor, you need to step on the yellow glow at the end of the courtyard and shift your camera so the two symbols on the rocks in front of you line up.
Version 5.2 with Chasca and Ororon is here! So don't forget to redeem new codes for Primogems to help pull them, and check out our regularly updated tier list. You need luck from the Pity and 50/50 systems to Wish with Fate for characters on Banners, and you always need the right Adventure Rank for events. Elsewhere, we have tips and tricks for beginners.
Once you line up the two symbols on the rocks so they match the symbol on the locked door, you can proceed through the door and step on the platform at the end of this corridor to continue with your quest - but be careful, as you'll soon have to fight an Abyss Herald.
