The second Journal can be found in a small cave where players can solve another puzzle found in Dragonspine. Genshin Impact players won't need to solve this puzzle to find the second journal, they simply need to open up a chest that is half buried in a wall on the side of the cavern.

After opening up the chest, they will receive a second Journal for this quest.
