All 5 Strange Rock locations in Genshin Impact: How to find fossils and complete Paleontological Investigation

Genshin Impact users must collect one photo of a Strange Rock to start Paleontological Investigation and need five to finish that quest. The quest itself consists of nothing but players taking five pictures, so Travelers only need to know where each location is to complete Paleontological Investigation.

There will be specific sites in The Chasm's underground section where there will be a yellow glow. If gamers go to it, they should see a "Photo" option. They cannot select it while under combat.

Here are the general locations:

1. South of the eastern Teleport Waypoint in the Ad-Hoc Main Tunnel.
2. Northwest of the north Teleport Waypoint in the Main Mining Area.
3. Northwest of the southern Teleport Waypoint in the Underground Waterway.
4. Southwest of the southern Teleport Waypoint in the Underground Waterway.
5. Southeast of the northwest Teleport Waypoint in The Glowing Narrows.

When players approach one of these locations and select "Photo," they will automatically have their camera aiming at the correct location. Simply capture the image and collect all five Photos of a Strange Rock. Once that happens, go back to Khedive to finish up.
