Genshin Impact: How to complete The Phaethon's Syrtos

Firstly, gamers need to have the Divine Bridle from a previous Enkanomiya World Quest, Hyperion's Dirge. Once this artifact is acquired, fans can begin the quest by heading to the Evernight Temple.

They will also need to have completed The Subterranean Trials of Drake and Serpent to unlock the Evernight Temple barrier, and once this is complete, the quest location should appear on the map.

From within the temple, players will need to guide two seelies to a gate that a specter is hiding behind. Fans can use their elemental sight for hunting these elusive glowing ghosts and bringing them to the resting spots.

This will unlock the gate and allow them to speak with Clymene, who will task them with the new quest.

Offer Sango Pearl to seven royal tombs

Once the quest begins, you'll be tasked with offering a Sango Pearl to each of the seven royal tombs scattered throughout Enkanomiya. These tombs will be marked on your map, and you'll need to head to each one with a Sango Pearl in tow and offer it up.

The tombs aren't too difficult to find, as their locations will all be marked on your map. The hardest part will likely arise when trying to honor the tombs in The Serpent's Heart, as they may spawn an Abyss Lector: Violet Lightning.

Fans should make sure to bring a character to deal with its Electro shield as they progress.

Return to Clymene

Once each of these tombs has been given a pearl, users may return to Clymene for dialoge dialogue and their next task.

After speaking to Clymene, you'll have to follow the glowing path to the Soul Guide's Locus. Once you arrive at the locus, you'll need to talk to Clymene again, prompting him to ask to see the Divine Bridle.

This is where gamers will have to complete Hyperion's Dirge to gain the item. Once this artifact is complete, return to Clymene and show him the Bridle.

Players will also unlock the Hidden Exploration Challenge: Sunchildren Hide and Seek, which will unlock another hidden achievement.

This quest may take some time, but it is worth completing, especially for the lore reveals.
