Genshin Impact is full of secrets and achievements. If you want to complete the challenge to unlock the two secret sundials, it's quite a long and complex process. You'll need quite a bit of stamina just to start this one, and the monster battles go all the way up to level 40, so you don't want to be underpowered for that either.
To start, you will need to go to the Starsnatch Cliffs in Mondstadt. Go to the point shown on the map below, then look out to sea. In the distance, you will see an island that you need to reach. With around 200 stamina and food that restores stamina, you should have no problem reaching it. Remember that you can eat food in-flight, so be prepared to have a mid-flight snack.
When you get to the island, head to the center and find the Ravaging Sculpture. This is actually one of the sundials. Interact with him to get a clue, then you'll need to find some notes.
Head to the beach on the right side of the sculpture and you'll find a pile of rocks near a tent. Crush them to find the note you need.
Now it's time to go back to the sundial and change the time of day to 2am. You can only do the next part of the quest between 2am and 5am. You can change the time by selecting the clock icon from the main options menu.
Now if you use your elemental site you will see four feathers on the sundial. These represent four Anemo energy orbs that you must destroy to unlock the Sundial. You can see them using your elemental sight. To destroy, use any Anemo ability, and Venti's charged shot works great for that.
You can find the orbs in the following locations
- Directly behind the sundial on the crumbling wall sticking out from the sea
- On the right side of the beach on a rounded rock sticking out of the sea
- On the left side of the beach on a square rock sticking out of the sea
- At the top of the big pillar near the sundial
You must destroy them all between 2am and 5am, if you don't, just reset the time again. You will retain the progress you have already made.
Now move to the sculpted central depression of the island and use an Anemo ability to destroy the seal, releasing a monster. It'll be an Eye of the Storm, so focus it with arrows, then when it falls to the ground, hit it with whatever you have.
When it weakens, it will run away, activating a powerful column of wind. Use your glider to follow it to the Wind Templer.
When you get to the Temple of the Wind, you will need to find Henry Morton. You can find its location marked on the map above. Talk to him, then check the book in his tent for more clues.
You'll need to destroy four more Anemo Orbs, and you can use Elemental Sight to see them again. They are all very close to the sundial which is right next to Henry. Destroy them all and it's round two of the Eye of the Storm fight.
This time, some ads will appear occasionally, so remove them all when they appear, then return your attention to the eye of the storm. When he is finally defeated, you can speak with Henry again to complete the quest.
