16 Stone Pillar Seals and Legends of the Stone Lock in Genshin Impact

To complete the concealed world quest, Legends of the Stone Lock, players must travel across Sumeru and demolish sixteen Stone Pillar Locks.

An essential hint that will facilitate the process is to include a Pyro character in the group since they are crucial for breaking the seals that are securing the locks. Yoimiya and Amber, in particular, are two characters that can make this task even simpler due to their ability to produce Pyro from a great distance.
