Genshin Impact's latest patch 3.6 update has finally arrived with the new region, Girdle of the Sand. The new desert expansion has brought numerous puzzles and domains to conquer, one of which is the Somalata Inland Sea, a new one-time domain located near Vourukasha Oasis.

Players can teleport to the southern waypoint of Vourukasha Oasis and keep walking southeast to find it. Those who are yet to unlock the southern waypoint can teleport to the western Statue of the Seven and make their way to the domain.

However, it appears to be locked behind a Dendro elemental monumental puzzle. Players will have to solve the puzzle by using Dendro characters (preferably bow/catalyst users) to trigger the monuments in the correct sequence.

Each monument is located near stone walls with a painting of a bird and dots that depict the correct sequence to solve the puzzle. With the help of the painting, trigger the Dendro monumental puzzles in an ascending order to successfully complete it. Solving the puzzle will trigger a small cutscene, after which players can interact with the domain to unlock it.
