Genshin Impact players can find the "Rouge's Writings" treasure map on the east side of the Tower of Ippissimus.

To find this, teleport to the eastern waypoint of the Tower of Ippissimus and dive underwater. From here, keep swimming east toward the ruins of a submerged building and search for a large pink clam. Once found, hit open the clam to retrieve the treasure map.

It should go directly into your in-game inventory. Open the inventory to read the "Rouge's Writings" treasure map for hints. The contents of the map do not reveal the name of the writer. The hints suggest a location with an apple marked near a mountain near Weeping Willow of the Lake in the Genshin Impact 4.2 update.

Additionally, there are hints pointing towards a withered fruit of wisdom and something about hitting it thrice to receive Rouge's honor and tribute. Teleport to the Weeping Willow of the Lake's southeast waypoint and head northeast to go around the mountain.

Genshin Impact players should look for a broken house surrounded by tall trees. The focus should be on a withered tree with an apple hanging on it.

Hit that particular withered tree thrice, triggering some dialogs and spawning a Precious chest. Open the chest to receive some in-game resources along with 10 Primogems. This completes the "Rouge's Writings" treasure map and its puzzle.

It is worth mentioning that players can come across seven other similar treasure maps in their underwater exploration. Here is a quick overview of the other seven treasure maps you can encounter:

• Liam's Ballad
• Athos's Confession
• Autumn's Regrets
• Barrow's Expectations
• Parker's Hopes
• Rocky Avildsen's Disappearance
• Freeman's Announcement

Completing all eight puzzles and claiming the treasure will also unlock the "A la volonté du peuple," a hidden achievement in Genshin Impact. Players will get five additional Primogems for claiming this achievement.
