Genshin Impact: The Way Into the Mountain quest guide

The Way Into the Mountain is one of the first quests you will unlock in the Genshin Impact 5.5 update. Ever since the release of Natlan, travelers have embarked on many adventures with their little Tepetlisaurus, which bears the deadly "Flamelord's Blessing" mark on its head.

After completing multiple world quests, players can finally reach Atocpan and enter the volcano to try and cure the Little One. With the release of the Genshin Impact 5.5 update, our journey with the Little One can finally come to an end. However, to start the main world quest in the Atocpan region, you will need to complete The Way Into the Mountain quest in Genshin Impact.

Follow this guide to learn how to unlock and complete The Way Into the Mountain quest in Genshin Impact.

To unlock The Way Into the Mountain, you must visit the Collective of Plenty tribe in Natlan. This tribe is located west of the People of the Springs tribe and in the southwestern corner of Natlan. On your way to the Collective of Plenty, make sure to unlock the Statue of Seven in Atocpan if you have not done so already.

Defeat the second group, then take the uphill path on the left side, where you will find several Hilichurls rolling down giant boulders. You can transform into a Tatankasaur or use a Collective of Plenty character like Varesa to push through the boulders and reach the top.

The explosion at the end of the quest creates a Spiritway right in front of the ruins. You can ride this Spiritway to reach the top of the mountain and start the Nahuatzin's Leap world quest.
