Aranar songs in Genshin Impact. What are the melodies and why are they needed?
Aranars are unusual beings that inhabit Sumeru. They appear during the world quest Meeting in the Forest: Aranyaka. After completing this quest series, players encounter these creatures and unlock the Vanaran location, where the first melody can be learned. The big question remains: why bother with these melodies at all?
Melodies expand exploration, unlock hidden caves, and reveal riddles. Each aranar number has a practical use, summarized here:
- Great Dream Song – playing this melody for Silapna allows the player to enter a dream state or awaken aranar, and it opens the Gate of Dreams.
- Vamadhi song – many sealed caves in Sumeru respond to this tune, opening passages and clearing vamadhi’s barriers.
- Song of the Dark Path – activates stone teleporters, revealing unknown destinations.
- Animal Path Song – when a luminous flower is encountered, this melody unlocks a new route nearby.
- Song of the Sprout – some dendrogranums awaken independently with this tune, though it affects only certain dendrogranums.
- Source Number – this melody controls Varuna’s device.
- Song of Rebirth – required to restore stone tablets and columns.
How to obtain the old lyre
The aranar melodies are not usable without the ancient lyre, the key tool for serious exploration of Sumeru. Acquiring it is straightforward. Players should complete the following quests:
- Meeting in the forest: Aranyaka
- Aranyaka. Part 1: Children from Vimara Village
- Aranyaka. Part 1: Camping
- Aranyaka. Part 1: Lost Child
After finishing these tasks, the quest Aranyaka. Part 2: World of Aranar becomes available. Grandfather Amadia grants the main character the old lyre, and the player should unlock all melodies available.
How to use aranar numbers
With the lyre equipped in the inventory, approach an interactable object and press the corresponding key to play. The game indicates the required five-note sequence clearly, so players can focus on tapping the right keys rather than memorizing complex patterns.
Playing the melodies is a matter of practice, and the game emphasizes the correct note order rather than complicated input methods.
How to learn the Big Dream Song
The Big Dream Song becomes available during Aranyaka. Part 2: World of Aranar. Players should proceed through the story until they reach Vanarana, where curious beings teach the hero the melody and the gates of dreams can be activated. Completing the indicated quest is essential, as without it the Journal of Forest Adventures (Aranyaka) cannot be obtained, blocking further tasks in the world.
How to learn the Vamadhi song
Open the Aranyaka book in the inventory and navigate to the fourth section Vimana-agama. Complete the listed missions, including Vimana Agama: Chapter 1 and the head of the Roinjan, to receive instruction from Ararikan on performing this melody.
How to learn the Dark Path, Sprout, and Animal Path songs
Consult the forest adventure log and activate the Dream Nursery world quest. Unlock these three melodies by completing the following tasks:
- Song that leads the dark path
- The song that feeds the sprout
- The song that opens the animal path
These steps complete the three tunes and enable further exploration and puzzle solving.
How to learn the Song of Rebirth
To study the Rebirth melody, locate an aranara on Gandha slope and begin the Agnihotra Sutra world quest. This search is covered in detail in a dedicated guide.
