Unofficial Chronicle of the Desert Pavilion Quest Guide In Genshin Impact

Note that you need to start the ‘A Day the Grand Temple Inscribed with Ages’ quest before you can start this quest. ‘A Day the Grand Temple Inscribed with Ages’ is the second quest under the A Long Day in the Mountain Quest Chain released in Genshin Impact version Luna VI. It’s the continuation of The Wind Has Ceased quest, where we will unlock The Temple of Space, a whole new sub-region like Enkanomiya and The Chasm: Underground Mines.

If you didn’t unlock the waypoint yet, head to Temple of Space: Memory Core, and head north until you reach Desert Pavilion to start the Unofficial Chronicle of the Desert Pavilion quest.

The puzzle for this location is all about Building Towers on Sand mechanism. You need to use Dex to seize objects from quicksand and reconstruct them into their original quicksand state. After seizing the quicksand, you can choose which structure to construct.

When the task said to explore the Desert Pavilion, you need to head northeast of the waypoint you just unlocked to hear an unknown voice. Then, you will progress through the quest.
Head to the door and you will see the Quicksand icon on the entrance. Use Dex to seize the quicksand to dissolve the door and find an NPC inside.

The enemy you faces next is a normal mob in this area, but you don’t have to defeat it. In fact, you need to go to the backside of this enemy so Dex can retrieve its core and defeat it immediately.

For the next puzzle, simply seize the pillar Quicksand and have Dex construct the lift on the glowing space on the right side. Then, you can go to the upper level. Up there, defeat the enemies in front of the trapped NPC so you can save him.

The next enemy that will turn the NPC to sand is the same one in early quest, where you can go to the backside of this enemy and use Dex to defeat it. This enemy type will be a lot in Desert Pavilion, it’s best if remember this tips so you don’t have to keep defeating mobs.

After defeating the Segment Realm Keeper: Suppression Type, use the already available lift just like before so you can reach the upper level again.

The task at the top level is to explore the central area. Just follow the path leading to west to find Keepers that you need to defeat (which will be mentioned by Paimon). There are 3 of them, so be smart when using the ‘seize and construct Quicksand’ ability to construct platform to reach/hide from the Keepers, and use Dex’s ability to immediately defeat the enemies. You will meet another NPC named Kshama once you defeat these 3 Keepers.

Once the conversation is over, teleport to the waypoint south of Desert Pavilion to ‘leave’ this location. Continue following the quest navigation until you reach the next puzzle.

When you’re teleported to a new area and fell into a trap, all you have to do is use Dex to seize the wall Quicksand so your character can move forward. And since it’s pretty one-way, you won’t get lose.

You will be confronted by a boss called Afarine Avian, and the trick to defeat is by using Dex to seize the wall Quicksand on the left/right side, and construct a wall in the center when you’re facing the boss to avoid all the attacks to hit you.

To defeat the boss itself, you don’t have to fight it. Instead, after its done attacking you, there will be a moment where it will hovered closer to the ground, so you will have the time to use Dex and force the boss to turn around before so Dex can seize their cores directly and deal massive damage. Do this multiple times until it’s dead. Afterward, you will find the last of Zeitlind’s missing belonging.
