Follow our Genshin Impact walkthrough for the Winds of the Past Archon Quest. Learn how to complete the Deep Within the Temple of the Falcon Domain and defeat enemies.

This guide will help you progress through the Archon Quest "Winds of the Past" in Genshin Impact, specifically guiding you through the one-time story domain, Deep Within the Temple of the Falcon.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Meet Amber at the Temple

    Leave Mondstadt through the main gates and head southeast. Talk to Amber, who is waiting for you. She will explain that this is one of the deserted temples of The Four Winds and instruct you to enter. Interact with the temple door to enter the "Deep Within the Temple of the Falcon" Domain. Select your party and start the domain.

  2. 2
    Deep Within the Temple of the Falcon Domain

    Upon entering, the main door will be locked. Interact with a device to its side to open it. Proceed through the door.

  3. 3
    Explore the temple’s depth
    1. The first obstacle is a chest covered in brambles. Approach it, and a tutorial will explain how to use Amber's bow. Aim and charge her bow with Pyro, then shoot the brambles to make them disintegrate. Open the Common Chest. Deal with the other set of brambles to your left using the same method.
  4. 4
    Continue through the newly opened path. Another set of brambles will block your way; use an imbued Pyro shot to clear them.
  5. 5
    As you approach the Door of Resurrection, a tutorial will introduce Elemental Sight and the weakness of Dendro to Pyro. Look down into the room below and use Elemental Sight to identify the Hilichurl Guards' Dendro shields. Aim a Pyro imbued shot at their shields to set them ablaze, causing the Hilichurl to panic.
  6. 6
    Another tutorial will explain placing Elemental Skills. Hold the Elemental Skill button and drop Amber's Explosive Puppet over the edge to taunt the enemy. Attack the Hilichurl while it's distracted. The Puppet will eventually explode, dealing Pyro damage.
  7. 7
    After defeating the first Hilichurl, drop down. Two more Hilichurls will attack. Use the Explosive Puppet again to draw their attention, then focus on attacking them one at a time. Open the Common Chest.
  8. 8
    Head west and ascend the stairs into the next room. You will encounter four Hilichurls. Shoot the red barrels to the right to deal significant damage to enemies nearby. Use your Explosive Puppet to draw their attention while you finish them off. Open the Common Chest where they were standing.
  9. 9
    Proceed to the next room. You will see a torch with a Pyro symbol. Charge a Pyro attack and fire at it to activate a wind current. Double jump into the current and ride it across the chasm to the next area.
  10. 10
    Enter the room and attack the orb generating power for Stormterror. A cutscene will play. After the scene, open the Precious Chest and exit the Domain to complete the quest.
