Gathering the Mysterious Shadows

For anyone who needs help with sacrificial offering in Genshin Impact, essentially there are 3 ghosts who you need to talk to. After you speak to them they disappear to another location and you have to speak to them again until they’re all gathered in the same spot with the foxes pic.twitter.com/oTQIWEGkLE

In the next portion of the quest, players will need to locate several Mysterious Shadows that have been scattered around the area and speak to them, which will cause them to disappear and reform at a trio of Fox Statues. Players will need to find all of these Mysterious Shadows to progress the quest, and they can be found in these locations:

Genshin Impact players can find the first Mysterious Shadow standing in front of the shrine, and interacting with it will make it vanish, prompting Paimon to note on how strange it is.

Players can find the second Mysterious Shadow by turning around from the first one and heading towards the Fox shrine a small distance away. Talking to this Mysterious Shadow will also cause it to vanish, leaving more Shadows to find.

Players can find a third Mysterious Shadow near another smaller shrine, and talking to her will cause her to disappear like the others.

A fourth Mysterious Shadow can be found on the roof of this building (Image via ZaFrostPet)

Another Mysterious Shadow is located on the roof of a building a good distance away from the other Shadows, and talking to it will cause it to disappear, leaving just one more Shadow for players to interact within this Genshin Impact quest.

The final Mysterious Shadow can be found under the branches of a tree just to the side of the trio of Fox Statues, and once it is spoken to, it will join the other two Mysterious Spirits, granting players three chests and progressing this new Genshin Impact quest.

Heading to the Narukami Shrine

Paimon will suggest to players that they get some professional help to solve this problem, and so they will journey to the Narukami Shrine to get some aid. Genshin Impact players will receive a new item called the Memento Lens that they can use to progress this quest.

next, you will have to find a maiden located at the narukami island to help you on the complicated clue. she'll give you this item called "memento lens". the 2nd picture shows how it works! the lens will only work on the small kitsune statues that are glowing! pic.twitter.com/uN9VXEEDUB

Once Genshin Impact players get the Memento Lens, they can use it to obtain information by looking at small Fox statues through the lens, which will be an important part of progressing the quest.

Players will then be tasked with scanning the small statues with the Memento Lens, which will provide them with phrases they will need to progress the quest further.

Once players scan all the Kitsune, they will have learned the words they need to recite in front of the larger statue.

Players will need to return to the Shrine and recite the sacred words (Image via ZaFrostPet)

Genshin Impact players will be tasked with reciting the sacred words in front of the Sky Kitsune statue, and the order is simply the verses from the top to the bottom of the list. Players will need to input them in this order:

1. "In the name of Narukami's envoy."
2. "And of the Hakushin bloodline.
3. "Bring forth the fried tofu!"

After this has been completed, players will be able to move on to the final stage of the quest.

Finding and destroying the barrier in the Sacrificial Offering quest:

Players will need to make their way to the final barrier of the quest, which can be found in a cave nearby the shrines. Players will need a special key to unlock the gate, which can be found by completing the quest A Strange Story in Konda. Players can also find an Electroculus inside once they open the gate. Once players unlock this gate, they will need to input this pattern into the surrounding statues.

if you found the last kitsune statue, make sure you've remembered the lines to recite on the big kitsune statue! although, it's just in order lol top to bottom then you'll finally go back to where you have to use the ward to pray! here is how you do the next puzzle! pic.twitter.com/EWUUd3fVpH

— kae-cho || 🔞 (@sadkaeyanoises) July 21, 2021

Genshin Impact players can do this by interacting with the statues until the ones on the outside feature three Electro symbols, the one in the center has two, and the one on the bottom has one. After this, players will need to interact with the shrine and pray, which will summon an enemy samurai. After players defeat it, the quest is complete.

This Genshin Impact quest can take players a while, but it is part of a long questline in Inazuma that is definitely worth completing for both the rewards and the storyline.
