Power in Genshin impact - a special game functionality needed to explore the Sumeru Desert. The mechanic allows access to many locations and mysteries hidden in the ruins of the western part of the Dendro region. Having acquired power and elevated it, the Traveler will be able to clean up sandy territories as efficiently as possible and find valuable rewards.
In this guide, we will tell you how to get and upgrade Power in Genshin Impact to the maximum level. And what to do if there is not enough power to launch the desert mechanisms.
Why special power is needed
Without power, it will not be possible to fully explore the western part of Sumeru. The first mention of this concept occurs during the passage of the mission "Lost in the Sands". When exploring the ruins in the desert, one can inevitably stumble upon mysterious "control panels" - pedestals of secret rites, similar to a pedestal with a book, to interact with which you will need special power.
How to get power in Genshin Impact
You can use the power mechanic with Red sand slabs - a special artifact obtained during the Lost in the Sands quest. The tool allows you to open blocked areas and control various devices in the ruins of King Deshret. With it, you can increase the level of power and hit previously inaccessible locations.
How to increase power
After receiving the Red Sands Plate, it is placed in the Inventory and becomes available for viewing. Initially, she has no power and only works with devices encountered on assignments. "Lost in the Sands" и "Introduction to armchair archeology", on which no sign is lit.
You can increase your power with the help of special mechanical monuments, to activate which you need to solve puzzles accompanied by sparks to the Primordial Torches.
Open the Slab through Inventory and go to the "Prayer's Path" tab. Here are all the places where you can find mechanisms to increase the level of power. Tracking specific locations can be enabled in the next section, "Descent into the Depths." The higher the power of the artifact, the more symbols light up on the stove itself.
Visit the places below to get all the power.
First level of power:
- 1 symbol can be obtained during the quest "The Secret of Al-Ahmar". To do this, solve the puzzle with the Primordial Torches in the Temple of Hemenu;
- 2 character - the power of hierophany - a special hieroglyph Hajj-nisut, obtained at the end of the quest "The Secret of al-Ahmar". With it, you can pass three tests and open access to the temple;
- 3 character - crossing power - a special hieroglyph of the underground hall Duat of the tomb of King Deshret. Appears during the quest "Double Proof".
The second level of power:
- 4 symbol will shine in The place of rebirth, breathing or absorption, which the main character will visit on the quest "Double Proof";
The third level of power:
- 5 the symbol also appears in one of the three places available on the task "Double Proof";
Fourth level of authority:
- 6, the symbol, similarly to the two previous ones, lights up in one of the three places in the area of the tomb of King Deshret;
Fifth level of power:
- 7 character - Gurabad city - a special hieroglyph of the Hadramavet desert. Lights up after reading six explorer's logs in Wadi al-Majuj. You can find them during the mission "Temple where the sands flow like tears."
How to determine the level of power
Open the Red Sands Slab in the Hidden Power section.
The level of power is determined by the glowing symbols on the artifact panel. If hieroglyph dim, means the level of power has not yet been received. When everyone appears on the Red Sands Plate 7 characters, she will gain the maximum level of power.
Depending on the level or sign, you can access the following mechanisms:
- 0 level (no characters required). Some plinths of secret rites, Primordial barriers and replicator stones.
- 1 level: pedestals of secret rites, on which one hieroglyph glows, and cells of eternal light.
- 2 level: pedestals of secret rites, on which two hieroglyphs glow, and huge blades.
- 3 level: plinths of secret rites, on which three hieroglyphs, cells of truth and cells of concealment glow.
- 4 level: pedestals of secret rites, on which four symbols glow, all halls of the Red Sands Sea.
- The power of hierophany и crossing power: open passages to the Hajj Nisut and the Duat Hall.
Solving the problem “It seems that there is not enough power”
"It seems that there is not enough power" is a game remark that appears in front of some mechanisms when trying to activate them. The devices themselves are highlighted. red. This ban is connected with the lack of a level of power that needs to be increased by opening new symbols on the Red Sands Plate.
Look at the sign that glows on an inaccessible device - this way you can understand which character or level of power you need to get to activate the mechanism.
