Without proper directions, it‘s easy to get lost in this quest. So let‘s walk through how to successfully clear all objectives and reap the rewards!
Introduction to Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga
Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga becomes available after finishing Rishi‘s questline and the Archon quest "Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana" in Sumeru.
Talk to the ancient murals within the sunken cave under Devantaka Mountain to begin the quest. This leads to navigating the cave systems, unlocking doors, illuminating murals and investigating an ancient device.
Completing this quest rewards you with:
- Amiti Device Fragment (II) – Important for a future quest
- Strange Parchment – Provides hints on lore
- Adventure EXP + Primogems
- Various treasure chests
Without a guide, it may take over an hour of aimless wandering through the multi-layered cavern puzzles. So follow along carefully with this walkthrough to complete the quest efficiently.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Step 1: Teleport to Devantaka Mountain
To start, open your map and teleport to the Teleport Waypoint on Devantaka Mountain overlooking the huge crater lake as shown below:
[Insert zoomed map image showing waypoint location]Exit the waypoint to the right and look for a cave entrance in the nearby cliffside. Walking in triggers a cutscene at the murals, beginning the quest.
Step 2: Follow the Cave System
Proceed further into the submerged cave – there‘s shallow water here so you can walk freely. Keep following the linear path until you reach a larger open chamber.
There‘s a ledge you can stand on to look for the next steps. Up ahead is a massive body of deep water blocking your way forward.
Step 3: Locate the First Seelie
Your first task is to find two Seelie sprites hidden within this cave system.
Scan the open chamber and you‘ll spot the first Seelie‘s glow in the middle of the deep water, as shown below:
[Insert screenshot highlighting Seelie location]Swim towards it and the Seelie will start moving along a fixed route. Closely follow its trail and it will lead you to an ancient murals puzzle.
Activating this puzzle partially drains the chamber.
Step 4: Find and Follow the Second Seelie
After draining the water, locate a flight of stairs to the right. The second Seelie can be found near the wall here, flying around this area.
Again, patiently track its movement to a second murals puzzle. Activate this to fully drain all the water in this room.
With the water gone, you‘re now free to walk deeper into the caverns ahead.
Step 5: Defeat Enemies and Unlock the Sealed Door
Keep following the linear path, defeating any fungi and mushussu enemies along the way. Soon you‘ll reach a large sealed stone door blocking further progress.
To open it, stand close and use the Vintage Lyre gadget. Play the following sequence of notes:
D – D – D – F – D – S
This will unlock the stone door so you can move ahead.
Step 6: Hit the Targets
Pass through the door into a pathway with a wide gap and a wall featuring 3 targets on the other side. There‘s also a Dendrogana flower near you.
Interact with the flower to gain the Dendrogana powerup. Switch to a bow user like Amber or Fischl.
Take aim and hit the 3 targets with Charged Attack shots. This will unlock access to the path across the gap, allowing you to progress.
Step 7: Infuse the Monuments with Dendro
Follow the route until you enter a chamber with multiple vine-covered monuments. To open the next part of the cave, you need to infuse these with Dendro.
Use Collei, Dendro Traveler or any Dendro skill. There are 4 monuments that need activation so look around the chamber carefully.
Once all monuments are infused, you‘ll gain access to the next mechanism. Interact with it to open the path further in.
Step 8: Burn Wooden Barriers and Activate Final Mechanism
Ahead you‘ll see the final mechanism blocked by wooden barriers. Use Pyro attacks from Yanfei, Xiangling or Amber to burn them down.
Behind the barriers is the last drainage mechanism. Activate it to fully unlock access to the deepest parts of the cave.
Step 9: Collect Rewards and Quest Items
With the water completely drained, you can now drop down safely to the lowest depths of the cavern.
Head to the back here to find a mechanical component emerging from the rocky ground. Interact with it to finish the quest.
This completes Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga! Paimon confirms this device links with another part found earlier. You also receive rewards like Adventure EXP, Primogems and various treasure chests.
The key item rewards are:
- Amiti Device Fragment (II) – Important for a future quest
- Strange Parchment – Provides some lore
And that‘s how you beat this tricky multi-step quest in Genshin Impact!
Tips and Strategies
Here are some tips to help complete Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga more smoothly:
Recommended Party Setup
Bring along the following characters in your party:
- Dendro User – Collei, Dendro Traveler to activate murals
- Pyro User – Yanfei, Xiangling to burn barriers

Use Electro on Bouncy Mushrooms
When following the Seelie upstairs, apply Electro to the mushrooms to bounce higher up to its level.
Activate Mechanisms to Drain Water
Each mechanism you activate fully drains segments of the cave system. So look out for more areas to access after solving puzzles.
Defeat Respawning Enemies
Fungi and mushroom enemies will respawn over time if left uncleared. So defeat them as you pass by.
Memorize Lyre Melodies
The melodies for Lyre puzzles are in your Quest Log. Take note of them as you‘ll need to replay them.

Lore and Story Analysis
Spoiler warning for those who haven‘t played this quest yet!
The ancient murals and mechanisms hinted at a technologically advanced civilization that previously inhabited Sumeru long ago.
They seemed to understand concepts like electricity, gadgetry and drainage systems as seen by the complex puzzles. The lyrical puzzles also suggested an appreciation for the arts.
Yet this civilization perished centuries ago, leaving only ruins and artifacts behind. Uncovering this bit of history makes you wonder about the true past of not just Sumeru, but all of Teyvat. How many more kingdoms rose and fell before the current seven nations? What secrets do they still hold?
There are also connections to a mysterious ancient god named Irmin, who is referenced in various item lores across Sumeru. This being likely had great powers over earth and geo, hinting at a link to the Geo Archon. More lore about Irmin will hopefully be revealed later!
Overall, this quest lets you dive into a forgotten world that sets the stage for even greater revelations as the story continues. Pay attention for more clues linking back to this and other quests down the road.
