Seals of stone columns в Sumeru, in which you have to remove Dendro shutters from 16 automatons scattered throughout the region. Open the sealed mechanisms and defeat them to help the Aranars.
The location of each mechanism on the map of Sumeru and the method of removing its stone pillar seals in Genshin Impact will be described in detail in the guide.
How to break the stone pillar seals
Each of the mechanisms is sealed with at least three closures. There is only one way to remove seals: use any Skill Pyro (e.g. targeted charged attack Ember) on a stone pillar.
Sometimes you may encounter such a problem: the pillar was hidden inside blockage of stones and roots. In this case, you need to find Dendrogranum, located nearby. Armed with it, use a charged or targeted attack on the barrier to destroy it.
Where to find all stone pillar seals in Genshin Impact in Sumeru
The location of the sealed mechanisms is not displayed on the map, so you need to look for them yourself. Some of them can be found when exploring the world on your own, while others are found only during side quests.
Next, we consider each point with automatons caught in the Dendro trap separately.
In each place you need to destroy all opponents who were pinned down. If the quest doesn't appear, check the locations again and clear out any remaining enemies.
Sealed Ruin Gear 1
The first of the ruin mechanisms can be found near the arena with the Electro Fern, outside of it. We do not recommend using a teleport near the boss: you can run from a nearby one or the Archon Statue in the Jungle Lokapal area.
Brief description of the location:
- main opponent: Ruin hunter;
- additional enemy: no;
- seals: 2 open pillars, 1 blockage;
- reward: rich chest.
Defeating a single Ruin Hunter is pretty easy, just a few rules.
- All automatons in the game have a high resistance to physical damage, so in a fight with them you need to rely mainly on elemental damage.
- To fight with the Hunter, it is desirable to have at least one archer in the squad. One of the attacks of this enemy is to fly to a height inaccessible to most attacks and spam projectiles that deal a huge amount of damage (such attacks can be made up to 8 times in a row). The only way out in this situation is to attack the mob in a weak spot (core) between the launch of projectiles aimed shot archer. In order to transfer the Hunter into a weakened state, just one shot is enough.
Sealed Ruin Gear 2
The second automaton can be found at sub from the Archon Statue in the Lokapal Jungle. After moving to it, turn around in the opposite direction and immediately see a place with shutters.
Brief description of the location:
- main adversary: Ruin Spy;
- additional enemy: Ruin Crusher;
- seals: 4 open pillars;
- reward: rich chest.
Fighting two automata at the same time is quite difficult, especially if you do not have a good shielder in the squad. If it is not possible to put at least Noellethen follow the instructions:
- Attack the Crusher first, as he is the one who owns the area attacks. Such blows can be very inopportune if you beat the Spy at this time, because the damage from them is quite high.
- Take a character to the Cryo squad (for example, Kayu). This place is located in a small reservoir, which allows you to freeze opponents.
Sealed Ruin Gear 3
The third enemy trap is not far from Alcazar-shed, south of the teleport point.
Brief description of the location:
- main opponent: Dragon of the ruins Guardian of the earth (wingless);
- additional enemy: 2 Ruin Spy;
- seals: 2 open pillars, 1 blockage;
- reward: rich chest.

Sealed Ruin Gear 4
The fourth ruin mechanism can be found south of Vanarana, in the middle of a small lake.
Be prepared to activate Dendrogranum by means of ancient lyre. The melody for this is studied in quest Song that feeds the sprout.

Gear XNUMX can be found further north Pardis Dhyay, in caves. To find the entrance, head slightly west from the teleport point until you reach the Wither zone.

- additional enemy: 2 Ruin spies;
- seals: 3 open pillars;

Sealed Ruin Gear 7
The seventh sealed enemy is in the same cave as the sixth. From the place where the last puzzle was, go down to the very bottom.
On the right you will find Gate of Dreams, and to the right of them - an arch. Behind it is a sealed mechanism. To get through the barrier, go to the Gate, play the Song of the Great Dream and collect all the Dendro particles within the set time.
