With the release of the Genshin Impact 4.6 update, players are once again treated to a new expansion of the Fontaine region. This time, adventurers can explore the Nostoi and Sea of Bygone Eras regions, and find hidden treasures, solving puzzles, and collecting Primogems along the way. Here’s a guide to help you unlock and locate the two Shrines of Depths in the Sea of Bygone Eras.
Unlocking the Shrines
To unlock the Shrines of Depths in the Sea of Bygone Eras, you’ll need Fontaine Shrine of Depths Keys, which can be obtained in two ways:
Fontaine Statue of Seven: Level up the Statue of Seven with Hydroculous to obtain six keys. These keys are scattered across the Fontaine region and are marked with a small white star on the game mini-map.
Fountain of Lucine: Use Hydro Sigils to upgrade the Fountain of Lucine and obtain four additional keys. Hydro Sigils can be collected by opening treasure chests inside the Fontaine region.
How to Access the Sea of Bygone Eras
Before you can explore the Sea of Bygone Eras and unlock its Shrines of Depths, you must complete the Canticles of Harmony World Quest. This quest is a new addition in the 4.6 update and takes place in Petrichor, Nostoi Region.
To unlock access to the Sea of Bygone Eras, progress through the Canticles of Harmony quest until you reach the Faded Castle beneath Petrichor during the quest “First Movement – In the Halls of the Sea King.” You’ll then enter the Sea of Bygone Eras, where the Shrines of Depths are located.
