A Quick Overview of the New Content in Version 3.1
Before we dive into the treasure hunt, let‘s recap what‘s new in the huge Genshin Impact Version 3.1 update. There‘s so much to explore!
- Sumeru expanded with the new rainforest and desert areas

Completing the Archon and story quests also gives you tons of rewards. I earned over 1200 Primogems, hero‘s wit, talents books, weapon ascension materials, and more just from playing through the story over a couple evenings.
Not bad for hanging out in the new rainforest areas and uncovering lore secrets related to the Akademiya and Sacred Sakura!
Details on the Fecund Blessings Event
Let‘s shift our focus to the Fecund Blessings event specifically. This special event has travelers hunting for treasure based on cryptic clues scattered across Teyvat.
There are 8 total hidden chests to locate, each giving event currency based on which realm it was found in. After collecting enough currency, you can redeem it for materials, talent books, Mora, and even the rare Crown of Insight!
According to leaks prior to the update launch, miHoYo expected "Stand at the door of the greatest hunter" to be one of the most difficult clues to solve. But working together, no riddle can stand in our way!
The chests also provide more direct rewards like Hero‘s Wit, Mystic Enhancement Ore, Mora, and 4-5 Fecund Essence. Opening all 8 chests can earn you over 200k Mora, 8 Hero‘s Wit, and other goodies. Not too shabby!
Now let‘s decode that mysterious clue and track down the hidden treasure.
Interpreting the Vague Clue
“Stand at the door of the greatest hunter”
Hmm, okay, this one takes a bit of deductive reasoning to piece together. Let‘s break it down:
- "Stand at the door" makes me think there‘s a door, archway, entrance, or cave we need to find.
- "The greatest hunter" is referencing someone skilled at hunting or rangering.
- It‘s located near Springvale, a town with deep ranger history.
My theory is that we need to find a cave or doorway belonging to an adept hunter/ranger from Springvale‘s past. And I think I know just the person…
The Forgotten Greatest Hunter of Springvale
Springvale has a long tradition of producing extremely skilled hunters and rangers. But none surpassed the mysterious expert said to be Stanley‘s father – the previous owner who suddenly disappeared.
Very little is confirmed about Springvale‘s greatest hunter. But legends speak of his mastery tracking prey through the darkest forests and ability to hit any target. Local tales characterize him as grizzled yet gentle, keeping mostly to himself in a modest cabin.
Some even believe Springvale‘s hunter was the one who first tamed and bred the town‘s iconic springvale pointers. His exemplary tracking and survival abilities allowed him to venture deep into the untamed wilderness.
One day, he departed for a routine hunt but inexplicably never returned. With no clues behind his baffling disappearance, his legendary exploits faded into memory. But could clues waiting to be discovered hold the key to this forgotten hunter‘s fate?
How to Find the Hidden Treasure Chest
Here are step-by-step directions to find the "door of the greatest hunter" treasure chest location:
- Start from the Statue of the Seven in Springvale
- Head west past the town‘s perimeter and into the wilderness
- You‘ll see a tall cliff in the distance – head towards it
- Carefully climb to the top using Geo constructs or consuming stamina food
- At the cliff peak you‘ll find a lonely chest near the edge
- Behind the chest is a cave entrance – the greatest hunter‘s door!
Make sure to watch your stamina while scaling the cliffside. I recommend bringing a Geo character like Zhongli or Albedo to generate climbing platforms on the way up.
If your stamina is running low, consuming Tempura or Golden Crab can give a huge boost. You can also glide from the peak of a nearby mountain to help conserve stamina while traversing the vertical cliff face.
Once you reach the top, scour the edge for the chest which can blend into the brown rock. Activating elemental vision can help pinpoint the exact location.
And voila, open the chest to unlock the hidden treasure tied to the cryptic clue!
Extra Tips for Finding the Chest
Here are some additional pointers to make locating this chest even easier:
- Switch to a short character model to more easily enter the cave
- Change the camera angle frequently to spot the chest
- Memorize the cliff‘s location so you don‘t waste time randomly searching
- Mark the cliff location on your in-game map for easy reference
- Ask a friend to co-op and have them glide from a high point
- Equip the Treasure Compass gadget to detect chests in the vicinity
With these tips, you‘ll save time tracking down this out-of-the-way treasure chest location.
Who is the Greatest Hunter in Genshin Lore?
While the evidence points to Springvale‘s former owner being the referenced "greatest hunter", some theorize it could mean Andrius, the Wolf of the North. As the Archon War veteran who once protected Mondstadt, Andrius was an unparalleled fighter with animal-like instincts.
However, the clue specifically mentions a "door" which signals some kind of structure. The door likely belongs to the previous owner‘s cabin where he would rest between long hunting expeditions.
Andrius, a spirit wolf, had no need for constructed dwellings. So while Andrius may be considered the greatest hunter in Mondstadt history, the clue seems to indicate Springvale‘s forgotten champion ranger is the correct interpretation.
But Andrius certainly deserves an honorable mention as another candidate for the lore-steeped Greatest Hunter moniker.
Locations for Other Fecund Blessing Chests
While we‘ve cracked the clue for the Springvale chest, there are 7 other hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered through Fecund Blessings. Here are guides to a few other chest locations:
“The gift is near the main entrance to Dawn Winery” – Check the stone gate near the winery‘s front door
"Gift near a venerable hotel" – Beside the inn at Quince Village in Sumeru
“Gift in the Magus-Custodian of Books sanctum” – Inside the Sanctum of Surasthana
I won‘t spoil all the clues and locations here. But if you need help decoding the other hints, let me know! I’m happy to provide more guidance for fellow adventurers.
Conclusion
Phew, that was quite the adventure unraveling the cryptic clue and tracking down the hidden treasure chest! Here are the key takeaways:
- The “greatest hunter” likely refers to Springvale’s forgotten master ranger
- His cave at the cliff west of Springvale is the “door”
- Carefully climb the cliff and look for the chest near the edge
- Opening the chest earns you Fecund Blessing currency and loot
I hope all these tips help you swiftly locate the treasure for yourself, friend. Genshin’s new version introduced tons of secrets waiting to be uncovered. Let’s keep working together to overcome any challenge and unravel future mysteries!
