In the Inland Sea of Somalata in Genshin Impact, players can tackle a unique dungeon that can be completed only once to earn rewards. This exploration is part of the Farahkert region introduced with update 3.6. The following guide explains how to open the dungeon and solve its puzzles, with a clear path to the treasure that lies within.
How to open the Somalita Inland Sea dungeon and solve the puzzle
First, confirm the adventure rank is 40 or higher, since the dungeon entrance remains closed to lower level explorers. A helpful step is to visit the Dendro Archon statue in Farahkert and activate it. Doing so grants access to the eastern map areas and helps pinpoint the dungeon location on the map.
Once in the vicinity, look for a large tree surrounded by rich chests. These can be revisited later, but for now place a marker on the dungeon and follow it. Climbing the terrain isn’t required to advance.
Beyond a prominent rock lies a sealed dungeon entrance and several dendro totems that must be activated in a specific order. The correct sequence is shown on the racks behind each totem, with the number of dots indicating the activation order.
- Deal a shot to the rack to the right of the entrance.
- Turn around and shoot the pedestal on the left.
- Next, shoot the totem on the right.
- Use the dendro skill on the counter to the left of the entrance.
If the steps are followed correctly, the gate will part from the ground and a valuable chest will appear to the left of the entrance.
Which heroes to choose
Begin with the team options already at disposal, ensuring that one Hydro character is included in the lineup.
In addition, characters who can apply certain elemental statuses will prove useful. For instance, if the main attacker is Ayato, the following team compositions can be considered:
Electro damage team:
Team with a Pyro damage focus:
Defense-oriented and Geo damage-oriented squad:
If Ye Lan is chosen, pairing with Raiden is advantageous. Their elemental bursts together deliver heavy damage in a short window. Activate Ye Lan’s burst first, then switch to Raiden and use the ultimate as well.
How to complete the challenge and beat the sacred horned crocodile
The recommended team level for the confrontation is 72. While a Hydro unit is advisable, other elements that synergize with Hydro can also form a strong team.
The objective is to defeat nine foes. The initial encounters feature various molds, culminating in the Sacred Horned Crocodile as the final boss.
The final adversary resists some damage types but can generate Absorb energy cubes. To destroy these, rely on Hydro elemental attacks, then stun the monster and deal substantial damage while it is vulnerable.
