Genshin Impact players need to start the Dual Evidence World Quest before they can access the deeper part of the Mausoleum of King Deshret. Upon completing the previous quest, 'Golden Dream,' wait for the next daily reset and then teleport to the Statue of the Seven in Aaru Village to begin the quest.

From there, keep following the navigation until you reach 'Duat Hall,' which is the entrance to King Deshret's Mausoleum. A conversation with Paimon will begin at this point, and travelers will need to complete puzzles in three locations before they can enter the middle part of the King's Deshret Mausoleum.

Each location features the same type of puzzle, which leads Primal Embers to their torches. The following are the mentioned places that players can select from their Scarlet Sand Slate so it will guide them to the location:

1. Place of Rebirth
2. Place of Breath
3. Place of Swallowing

Once all three puzzles are done, follow the quest navigation, and Genshin Impact players will reach the middle floor of King Deshret's Mausoleum. Here, Travelers still need to light three Primal Torches by following their respective Primal Embers.

While leading Embers, Primal Constructs will appear during the task. Gamers can choose to ignore them and continue following Ember or defeat them. Then, interact with the small pyramid in the middle to reach 'Aaru's Shut,' the top floor of the Mausoleum of King Deshret.

The top floor only has two treasure chests. One is the Precious Chest that Genshin Impact players need to claim to complete the Dual Evidence quest, and the other is a Luxurious Chest by completing the Everlight Puzzle. Travelers can check out the article here for a guide on how to complete the said puzzle.

Once the Dual Evidence quest is complete, gamers can return to Aaru's Shut by going to the Great Hall of Truth and through the blue door, as seen in the image above. This time, however, there will be no middle floor, and they will instantly be transported to the highest floor without completing any puzzle.

Aside from getting the Luxurious Chest on top of the Mausoleum, Genshin Impact players will also need to jump down from the pyramid to get a Dendroculus in the middle of the structure.
