When exploring the region of Inazuma, one of the first objectives for most Genshin Impact players will be to unlock the various teleport waypoints and Statue of the Seven locations. While the majority of the waypoints scattered throughout Genshin Impact's Inazuma are easily accessible, one of the most difficult waypoints to unlock is the underwater teleporter north of Narukami Island.
To access the waypoint, players must first progress in the Konda village questline to the "Cleansing Defilement" world quest. At this point, players will be tasked with cleansing three sites throughout Narukami Island and will be given the Memento lens gadget.
Updated on January 29, 2022, by Scott Vengel: Genshin Impact has brought more and more players to its world of Teyvat over the last year. While this growth likely stagnated a little in the middle, once Inazuma and the most recent Lantern Rite Festival events surfaced, the game's mass popularity has once again returned to a major high. As such, the community has entered a new situation in which many fans are finally exploring the entirety of Inazuma and its many domains. One location often missed is Narukami Island's Araumi, and for this reason, this guide will be updated to talk more about Inazuma's underwater teleport and important areas around it.
Finding And Activating The Teleport Point
During the Cleansing Defilement quest, players must travel to the Araumi region, north of the Grand Narukami Shrine. At this location, players must equip an electro-element character, and activate the various electro-totems scattered throughout the area. Should the player not have an electro character, they can use the Electro Traveler by interacting with a Statue of the Seven in Inazuma.
The first electro totem is found on a stone walkway north of the path leading to the area.
The second electro totem is found to the far north of the area and is guarded by several mechanical enemies.
The third totem is found to the west of the area and must be unlocked by completing an electro cube puzzle. To complete the puzzle, players must have all the purple icons facing the direction of the totem.
The fourth and final totem is found underneath the large sakura tree in the center of the area. Once players have successfully activated all four of the totems they can now interact with the stone cube in order to access the underground dungeon. Players must then glide down inside the stone tower next to the Sakura tree.
Inside the tower, players will find several fox statues that they must scan with the memento lens. Once each of the fox statues has been scanned with the memento lens, the statues will transform into three panels on the sides of the tower. Interact with each of the panels for the floor to open.
Once inside the underground dungeon players will eventually reach the cleansing site with the large Tori gate. To the left of the cleansing site, players will find a small room with an additional electro cube puzzle.
After solving the puzzle, a small hole in the ground will be opened to the player. Jump inside the hole, and swim down the large flooded corridor before reaching a staircase.
At the top of the staircase, players will find one final electro cube puzzle. After solving this puzzle and interacting with the cube, players will be able to drain the water in the area.
Once the water has been drained, Genshin Impact players will be able to access a circular door in the large room to the north. Head through the door and proceed through the long corridor.
Players will eventually reach a large room with the teleporter waypoint that they can now unlock. From this location, players can now easily access the Perpetual Mechanical Array boss without having to use the Jinren Island portal. The Perpetual Mechanical Array gives Perpetual Hearts when defeated, which is needed to ascend characters like Ayaka and Gorou, and is located to the east of the teleport.
In addition to the Perpetual Mechanical Array, the teleport under Narukami Island also gives access to the nearby domain. The Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates domain is located to the east of the teleport, a one-time domain modeled after the story of a tengu warrior. The domain features both Electro- and Pyro-infused Kairagi, so players should prepare Pyro, Electro (respectively), Cryo, or Anemo users ahead of time.
Players should also be aware that several opponents can be fought near the teleport. Most notably, the areas near the waypoint feature large populations of Ruin Sentinels. This makes hunting around the Underwater Teleport a good opportunity to collect Chaos Gears, which are used to ascend a variety of different weapons in Inazuma.
Genshin Impact is available for Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5, with a Switch version in development.
