Breaking the wind barriers in Stormterror’s Lair can be tricky if you’re new to Genshin Impact. Let me walk you through exactly how to handle these mysterious obstacles that are keeping you from exploring freely.
Understanding Wind Barriers
These glowing walls of wind aren’t just there for show – they’re actually ancient magical barriers created to protect Stormterror’s domain. You’ll notice them scattered throughout the area, blocking access to various platforms and preventing you from reaching certain locations. While they might seem frustrating at first, there’s actually a simple mechanic to break them.
The Three Seals Method
To break any wind barrier, you’ll need to locate and activate three Anemo seals in the vicinity. These seals appear as glowing circular platforms with wind symbols. Think of them like magical switches that, when triggered together, disable the barrier’s power source.
Finding the Seals
Here’s where your exploration skills come in handy. The seals are usually:
– Near the barrier itself
– On nearby floating platforms
– Sometimes hidden behind pillars or structures
– Often arranged in a triangular pattern
Activation Process
Once you’ve found a seal, simply stand on it until it lights up. You’ll need to activate all three seals to break the barrier. But here’s the catch – they don’t stay activated forever. You’ll need to be quick about hitting all three, or they’ll reset.
Pro Tips for Success
Let me share some tricks I’ve learned:
– Use tall characters like Kaeya to easily spot seals from a distance
– Have an Anemo character in your party for better mobility
– Mark the seal locations on your map if you’re having trouble remembering them
– Use gliding to quickly move between seals
Common Troubleshooting
If you’re still having trouble, check these common issues:
– Make sure you’re activating the correct set of seals for your target barrier
– Look for elevated platforms that might hide seals
– Remember that some seals require you to clear nearby enemies first
After Breaking the Barrier
Once you’ve successfully deactivated a wind barrier, it’s gone for good – no need to worry about it respawning. This opens up new areas for exploration and brings you one step closer to uncovering all of Stormterror’s Lair’s secrets.
Remember, breaking these barriers is essential for progressing through the story and accessing valuable treasure chests. Take your time, be methodical, and don’t get discouraged if it takes a few tries to get the timing right.
