Statue of the Archons behind bars in Ochkanatlan, is closed by a barrier that prevents direct interaction, which is why the solution to the hidden riddle may seem non-obvious.
In this guide we will tell you how to solve the riddle with the Statue of the Archons behind the bars and get into the tower.
Where is the Statue of the Archons behind bars
The statue is located inside a tall stone tower, the entrance to which is blocked by a grate. The building is located in the southern part of Ochkanatlan Island, north of the Flowerfeather Clan settlement.
How to Open the Gate at the Archon Statue in Genshin Impact
The grate blocking the way to the statue can only be removed from the inside.
Transform into a Saurian
Take on the form ictomizavtomorrow, using the special skill on the nearest Soul Beacon. Then hold down the Cryo Saurian's active ability key and aim at the glowing symbol at the foot of the left column.
Make sure the skill has locked onto the correct symbol by waiting for a blue border to appear around it. Release the ability key to exit targeting mode. If done correctly, a special blue aura will appear around the Ictomysaur, indicating that the symbol's effect has been applied.
The resulting boost allows you to jump very high. Use this effect to propel yourself into the air and glide into the crack in the tower wall. Once inside, the Tepetlisaurus companion will appear nearby and climb the stairs.
Use the switch
Follow him to the top of the tower in any form and choose an option "Activate" on the switch the pet Saurian stopped next to. Activating the mechanism will attract a giant dragon that will destroy the tower.
After the cutscene and dialogue between Paimon and the Traveler, the statue that was previously on the floor below behind the barrier will become available for interaction. If you previously opened all the statues in the Natlan territory, you will unlock the achievement "Continental Explorer: The Burning Plain 2". After solving the riddle with the grate, the world quest will automatically start "A City Covered in Ashes".
