How to start and complete Lotus Eater - Genshin Impact guide

Genshin Impact‘s 2.4 update is one of the biggest it has had in a long time, and the challenges inside are up there with the steepest the game has to offer. Some of the most perilous puzzle-solving Genshin Impact has ever provided, and in this guide, we’re breaking down every step you need to understand in order to clear the Lotus Eater quest. 

The Lotus Eater quest takes place in Enkanomiya, a new area that has been added along with new characters Shenhe and Yun Jin. This quest will reward you with a Dragonbone Orb, which is incredibly precious, but completing all of the steps necessary can be a bit obtuse. Just read our instructions below and you’ll be able to clear every step of the journey.

How to start the Lotus Eater quest in Genshin Impact

Starting this quest is a lot trickier than most, but don’t worry, we’ll guide you through every step of the way. First, teleport to the Northwestern teleport point on The Serpent’s Heart island, jump off the cliff just to the North, and glide down to the ledge below, where you’ll find a cave. Head on inside, and glide around to a large broken wall on your left. Glide through this area and to the back wall, where a mysterious altar is placed against the wall, with five symbols carved into the rock. 

Climb the wall and sit in the center of these five symbols. Hold still for a few seconds, and the symbols will light up, with a series of small arrow-like dots surrounding you. The number of dots a symbol has below it is the order it should be in. You’ll need to remember this, so take a screenshot. 

Teleport back to the teleport point you used before, and head into the center of the nearby shrine. You’ll see the same five symbols on the floor here, and on each of the doors, too. You have to go through each gate in order. Access the gate with only one dot on it, followed by two, and so on until you’ve gone through all five. Speak to the ghostly spirit after and you’ll be able to inspect a nearby stone tablet. Speak to the spirit once more, and the Lotus Eater quest will be underway.

Now that the quest has begun, we have to find another spirit, which is a bit more difficult than the last. First, teleport to the Northwest teleport point on The Narrows. Jump off the cliff again to the North, and look for a ledge down and to your right. Down here you will find three switches and three dangling lanterns. 

This lantern puzzle is quite simple, but just in case you get stuck: from the default position that the lanterns are hanging in, hit the switches in this order, with a Geo character: 

Right, Center, Left, Left, Right, Center. 

That should solve the puzzle for you. Once the door is open you can move inside and to the right, where you will find a switch to change things to Evernight. Do so, and continue into the dungeon, climbing the staircase just below. You will come across another spirit, tell them “After the sun, the true light starts…” and that will allow you to continue the quest. 

Your next task is to obtain the Water of Lethe. You will have the area marked on your map on the Evernight Temple island. Travel there, defeat the enemies and collect the Water of Lethe. 

Finally, your task is to climb the Dragonbone Tower. This one is situated in The Serpent’s Bowels, and it will again be marked on your map. Go there, and get climbing, using the Water of Lethe at the top. And you’re done!

How to collect the Dragonbone Orb

One more thing. The quest reward is a Dragonbone Orb, and you will collect it from the top of the Dragonbone Tower, but you will need to wait for a daily reset for that to happen. If you’re not sure when that is, you will simply have to wait 24 hours and log back in to check for it in the same location.
