Once Genshin Impact players enter Liyue, they’ll see a set of puzzle mechanics that may be familiar or not. As you go further into the area, you’ll come across some domains in picturesque places - most specifically in Luhua Pool.
The Domains in Genshin Impact offer a variety of rewards and, depending on your choice, you can pick either of the two to challenge. However, the Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula is hidden behind a pyro puzzle that can be a little hard to figure out if you just entered the area. Here are the correct pyro totems you need to activate to unlock the Domain and grab the rewards!

How To Unlock Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula
Once you head to the teleport waypoint central to Luhua Pool, you'll see the Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula Domain to your south. You’ll notice these pyro totems surrounding the circular hole, and although there are six of them, you only need to light up three.
- First, interact with the mechanism on the ground. Once you do, the pyro totems will unlock themselves.
- Once the totems unlock, use a Pyro bow character to light them up. This is recommended as running to each one is too inefficient. You can use a character like Amber, Yoimiya, Lyney, or even Yanfei.
- What you need to do is light up the pyro totems, which are located in front of the intact pillars. This is pretty easy to spot, so just choose a good vantage point and get shooting.
Once the seal is broken, wait for the cutscene to finish and head down into the hole. The Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula Domain will be at the bottom. Genshin Impact players should be aware that the Domain is not available to complete in co-op and will require players to challenge the levels by themselves.

Here are the many ways Genshin Impact players can spend their daily resin and how to best plan for long-term play.
Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula Level Types And Enemies
The domain has two levels, and players can only complete them once. This means they can only claim rewards once. Both levels are slightly different from each other and are mainly combat-centered. You get enemies that range from Ruin Guards to Treasure Hoarders. It can be a little difficult, so it’s always best to take a character that can help you survive the fight. Taking a bow character against the Ruin Guards in the first domain challenge is the best as they can easily paralyze them.
The Treasure Hoarders will be in the second domain challenge, but they’ll come in stages. You’ll need to use the mechanics to reach the innermost part of the domain, and this requires players to either ride wind currents or cross disappearing stone platforms. The level is a little challenging but not impossible to complete.
