Shrines of Depths are old abandoned structures in Genshin Impact. It will always contain a Luxurious Chest that rewards players with numerous useful items, including a decent amount of Primogems and Mora, as well as other items such as Artifacts and level-up materials.
Since Fontaine is mostly water, players will definitely find some of the Shrines of Depths hidden somewhere underwater in Genshin Impact. Additionally, the shrines also require keys to unlock, which are obtained through a couple of methods.
Updated on November 19, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: As Genshin Impact releases new areas to explore, players will have the chance to discover more Shrines of Depths along the way. It’s not a secret that not all Shrines of Depths are available from the get-go, which means Travelers need to explore thoroughly every newly released area to not miss any content. Shrines of Depths in particular are important as they reward vital items like Primogems and unlock certain Achievements in Genshin Impact.
There are only eight Shrines of Depths available as of Genshin Impact 4.2. The ancient structures aren’t hard to find except for one deep in the water, but they can also be considered hidden in plain sight.
The first Shrine of Depths is found underwater in Elton Trench. Head to the underwater area’s Waypoint and swim north to find a deeper part of the ocean. Dive down to stumble upon the Shrine of Depths near some shipwreck in Genshin Impact.
From the Elynas Waypoint on top of a cliff, gliding down southwest towards the mountain will reveal the second Shrine of Depths near it.
Fast-travel to the Echoes of the Deep Tides Domain in Genshin Impact and head southeast to find the third Shrine of Depths.
The fourth Shrine of Depths can be found near Marcotte Station. Run northwest past the enemies from the station’s Waypoint to find the shrine on top of a small hill.
From the Central Laboratory Ruins’ northern Teleport Waypoint, head north towards the slope, then climb it while going west. Eventually, players will find the fifth Shrine of Depths.
Now, head to the underwater Waypoint situated west of the Laboratory Ruins Teleport Waypoint. Swim northeast to find the sixth Shrine of Depths.
The seventh Shrine of Depths is near Loch Urania in Genshin Impact. Head to the Loch Urania Teleport Waypoint and climb the slope north to find the Shrine at the end.
Fast-travel to the eastern Waypoint of the Weeping Willow of the Lake and go southwest towards the eighth Shrine of Depths.
To get Fontaine Shrine of Depths Keys, Travelers may want to level up the Statue of the Seven. That’s because, among the rewards of leveling up the statue, the Fontaine Shrine of Depths Keys are rewarded on certain levels.
It is vital to collect Hydroculus in Genshin Impact and then offer it to the statue to level up. Luckily, the map displays the Hydroculus locations to help players in their exploration.
Another method for obtaining the Shrine of Depths Keys is by upgrading the Fountain of Lucine. Every Region has its own take on how to spend its Sigils, and Fontaine happens to be via the Fountain of Lucine.
By offering Hydro Sigils, Travelers will receive many rewards like Acquaint Fate, Level-up materials, and Midlander Billets that can be used to forge Fontaine weapons in Genshin Impact after purchasing the necessary diagram from Estelle.
