Genshin Impact ‘s 2.0 update has introduced numerous shrines and hidden locations for players to enjoy. With miHoYo’s title being wildly popular on PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile, we’re sure you’ll want to keep up to date with them.

How to Complete the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual

The first thing we need to do is accept the secondary mission “A Strange Story in Konda” , which will be offered to us by an NPC named Kazari . You can find him on Narukami Island, in the largest part, next to some stairs.

To complete this little quest, you need to talk to Kazari and follow the following order: bag of coins, bag of charge and banknotes . Then you will have to go down a well and use Electrogranum’s ability to pass through the electric barrier.

Next, you’ll have to purify the shrine and solve the puzzle of this ritual (it’s just the initial one). Once you’ve done that, you’ll have to defeat a ghost to complete the quest… and here the real quest begins.This is just the first step to starting Sakura’s cleansing ritual in Genshin Impact . It’s a long and difficult process , so make sure you’re at a good level and have all the items you need.

Sacrificial offering

Next you need to go to the abandoned shrine near Konda Village, which you can identify with a purple color on the map. This step is called Sacrificial Offering , and consists of the following steps:

• Chase the three ghosts until they are all standing behind the three fox statues facing each other. The ghosts will disappear and leave behind a book about Sakura’s cleansing ritual.
• Get the Memento Lens at the Grand Narukami Shrine
• Enter the Kitsune Statues room to activate the hidden memories, using the aforementioned lens.
• Go to the barrier. Enter the cave in the abandoned shrine – the entrance is further down, to the south.
• After passing through another electrical barrier, climb the stone wall, go through the door and collect the rust-worn key.
• Use it to unlock the door in Chinju Forest – it’s northwest, at the beginning of the stream in the purple area.
• You must solve another puzzle from Sakura’s cleansing ritual. The solution is: 2 on the central pillar, then 3-3-3 on the end pillars.

Chinju Forest

• Talk to the giant stone bear in the northernmost part of Chinju Forest
• You will be asked to find the three Tanuki . Light the torches if they appear. A Tanuki is near the Hilichurls.
• Go to the indicated location; the stone will have disappeared.
• This puzzle is a bit more complex; to complete it look at the image to see the pattern. The two pillars furthest away should have the number 2, the one on the left should have the number 3 and the one on the right should have the number 4 .

Araumi

• Power up all the Electro Pillars surrounding the Great Sakura Tree and the Stone Ruins.
• Enter the stone tower ruin and use the Memento Lens on the Kitsune statues.
• Use it on another Kitsune next to get an Electrogranum and pass through the Electro Barrier.
• Use Electro on the fox statue and enter the final room.
• The solution to this Sakura Cleansing Ritual puzzle in Araumi is as follows: Place the ones on your sides (left and right) on 3 Sakura leaves . The remaining two behind the shrine should have the number 2. They are hidden behind the Kitsune statues; use the Memento Lens again.

Kamisato Estate

• Head to the beach, located east of Kamisato Estate. You’ll see a rock with a tree, a fox statue, and a Kitsune statue.
• Use the Memento Lens on the Kitsune and continue to the next step.
• The solution to the Sakura Cleansing Ritual is as follows: 2 Sakura leaves on the pillar in front of and behind you (the ones near the path), and 3 on the ones to the left and right . Kill the two ghosts and you’ll complete the quest.
