Genshin Impact Golden Apple Archipelago conch shell locations

There is a grand total of 20 Phantasmal Conches to collect in Genshin Impact 2.8's Golden Apple Archipelago. Travelers will need 16 of them to get Fischl's outfit, but there are only 14 available on the first day of the event. This article will highlight where you can find the first 14.

The remaining six will be unlocked at a later date, so you don't have to worry about having all 20 on the first day. Collecting 14 Phantasmal Conches will give you 240 Primogems and other minor loot, so it's still worth collecting what is available today.

Note: Conches appear on the minimap when you are close.

Where to find all 14 Phantasmal Conches for Genshin Impact 2.8's Golden Apple Archipelago (Day 1)

Location #1

Travelers can find the first one on the central island of the Golden Apple Archipelago. It's on a random crate near the middle of the island, as shown in the above image. Just remember that you have to interact with every conch, so don't just look at it. Once you interact with the conch, its minimap marker will vanish.

Locations #2 through #5 (Broken Isle)

The second location (Image via HoYoverse)

There are four Phantasmal Conches to collect on the Broken Isle portion of the Golden Apple Archipelago. To start off, teleport to the central Teleport Waypoint on this island and go northwest to the location shown above.

If you look at your minimap, you should notice that there is another one northwest of the previous location. Go there and interact with it. There aren't any gimmicks to unlock it.

Teleport back to Broken Isle's central Teleport Waypoint and head northeast this time. You will find this item on yet another rock. Prepare to head northeast to get the final conch on this part of the Golden Apple Archipelago.

It will be under some wooden stairs in this location. There will also be a yellow glow here with a Silver Pocket Watch if you haven't already collected it.

Locations #6 through #8 (Twinning Isle)

You need to go to Twinning Isle now (Image via HoYoverse)

Teleport to the northern Teleport Waypoint on the Twinning Isle within the Golden Apple Archipelago. Genshin Impact players should notice two conches on the minimap here but go to the western one first, as it's at the ground level and doesn't require any climbing.

From here, you might as well climb up to make it to the following location.

Genshin Impact players will know that the next area is relatively high up on the cliffs. After climbing for a while, make your way near some broken wood on the north side of this cliff. The final Twinning Isle location is on a completely different island here, so teleport to the southern Teleport Waypoint after interacting with this conch.

After using the southern Teleport Waypoint on Twinning Isle, head east. The conch minimap icon will eventually appear, so keep heading east. Thankfully, climbing isn't necessary here. Now move on to the next Golden Apple Archipelago spot shown below.

Locations #9 through #11 (Pudding Isle)

It's next to the Teleport Waypoint (Image via HoYoverse)

The eastern Teleport Waypoint in the Golden Apple Archipelago's Pudding Isle puts you a foot away from this conch. You can't miss it.

This location will allow Genshin Impact players to be halfway done with the Resonating Visions event. To get here, just head south from the previous location. There is a Stonehide Lawachurl between the two areas, but you can easily avoid him.

Some Hilichurls are near the next area, but they should be easy to handle. To get here, just head west from the previous location. Genshin Impact players should be 11/20 done by now.

Locations #12 through #14 (Minacious Isle)

You are almost done with what's currently available on the Golden Apple Archipelago (Image via HoYoverse)

All three remaining conches are near one another. Unfortunately, there aren't any Teleport Waypoints too close to them in the Golden Apple Archipelago. Genshin Impact players must use the Minacious Isle Teleport Waypoint and head west. The first one will be located on the ground, with the remaining two requiring them to climb a bit.

It's a long climb, but Genshin Impact players will finally reach this area. Just be careful, as there are some wonky collisions in certain areas while climbing.

This one is only a short climb away from the last spot (Image via HoYoverse)

This one is a Crooked Conch that you can add to your inventory after collection. To get it, just climb up a short bit from the previous location, which shouldn't be too bad, given its short distance. Genshin Impact players should now be 14/20.

The remaining six will spawn in the Golden Apple Archipelago as Genshin Impact 2.8 continues.
