Genshin Impact’s Sumeru update added more domains for players to explore, but some of them are locked behind puzzles and quests, like the Coordinates of Sun and Rain domain. Follow our Genshin Impact guide to break the seal and master the lyre song.

The biggest barrier for the Coordinates of Sun and Rain domain are the prerequisite quests. To start, complete the following quests in order:

  1. Aranyaka: Part II world quest “The World of Aranara”
  2. World questline “Varuna Gatha”
  3. Aranyaka: Part II world quest “The Rhythm that Nutures the Sprout”

The starting locations for each quest are shown in the image above.

After completing the quests, follow the steps listed below:

  1. Return to large tree in the Apam Woods, and glide down the hole in the center.
  2. Activate the Dendro pillar, and follow the music trail to the Sprouting Branch.
  3. Play the Rhythm of the Sprout next to the Sprouting Branch to unlock a healthy Dendrograna.
  4. Interact with the healthy Dendrograna, and hit the target above the Dendro pillar with a charged attack to unseal the domain’s entrance.
