Genshin Impact: How To Unlock The Orchard of Pairidaeza

Genshin Impact’s Orchard of Pairidaeza is one of Version 3.4’s main new areas and an in-game point of interest. However, access to it is quite limited as players have to complete a few prerequisite tasks before being able to reach it. The Orchard of Pairidaeza is also known as the Eternal Oasis and is located directly below Desert of Hadramaveth’s severe sandstorm in Mt. Damavand. It is an underground location, but simply walking toward it through mere tunnel entrances will not provide results.

[Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for Genshin Impact 3.4.]The Orchard of Pairidaeza in Genshin Impact is actually a cemetery for the Goddess of Flowers, made by King Deshret in her honor. Full access to it in Genshin Impact’s Desert of Hadramaveth is granted by the World Quest “The Eternal Dream, Ever Lush.” However, the quest itself requires that a considerably long list of previous quests are completed. Because of this, players will likely spend a few hours doing missions before they actually unlock it. Nevertheless, the World Quest series attributed to it are some of the best in the game, with in-depth lore explanations about Sumeru’s deities and an intimate father-daughter story.

Two World Quest Series Lock Orchard of Pairidaeza In Genshin Impact

To get to the “The Eternal Dream, Ever Lush” World Quest, players will have to complete the five previous quests in the “The Dirge of Bilqis” series. However, before that, players need to complete another World Quest series called “Golden Slumber”. They can start it by talking to Katheryne in Genshin Impact’s Sumeru region. This is the first step in unlocking Genshin Impact’s Orchard of Pairidaeza. The action will initiate the “Golden Slumber” series with the “Lost in the Sands” World Quest, which starts in Aaru Village. As pointed out by Genshin Impact Fandom, players can also start the quest directly at Aaru Village by talking to the NPC Bonifaz.

The “Golden Slumber” series will take players across Sumeru’s desert, including underground areas that are made available only through the questline. They will explore places in the Great Red Sand, such as the Khemenu Temple and the Mausoleum of King Deshret. Later on, players will also unlock the Khaj-Nisut subarea, which changes forms with the World Quest “Dreams Beneath the Searing Sand.” The Great Red Sand desert area in Genshin Impact is the main setting for this questline. Once “Dreams Beneath the Searing Sand” has been concluded, players will have finished the “Golden Slumber” series, which is the first step needed to unlock the Orchard of Pairidaeza in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact: All Quests In the “Golden Slumber” Series

1. Lost in the Sands
2. An Introduction to Indoor Archaeology
3. The Secret of Al-Ahmar
4. Dreams Beneath the Searing Sand

The next step is to start the “The Dirge of Bilqis” series with the “Wisdom Has Built Her House, She Has Hewn Out Her Seven Pillars” quest. This can be initiated by either talking to Katheryne in Sumeru or by going to the Tanit tribe’s camp in the southernmost reaches of the Desert of Hadramaveth. The most efficient method of reaching the Tanit campsite, in case the nearby Statue of the Seven has not been unlocked, is by teleporting to the Waypoint near the Dune of Carouses in Genshin Impact’s Land of Lower Setekh and heading north. To unlock the Orchard of Pairidaeza, this step quest is crucial.

The “The Dirge of Bilqis” series has a total of six World Quests. However, every one of these quests is very long and has many dialogue scenes and multiple steps that need to be taken. The second quest known as “The Temple Where Sand Flows Like Tears,” for instance, has a total of 44 steps, as noted by Genshin Impact Fandom. There are also many puzzle-solving sequences in both the “Golden Slumber” and “The Dirge of Bilqis” series. This means that reaching the desired Orchard of Pairidaeza underground area in Genshin Impact may require a few hours to be invested, especially if players pay attention to all the dialogue bits.

Genshin Impact: All Quests In the “The Dirge Of Bilqis” Series

1. Wisdom Has Built Her House, She Has Hewn Out Her Seven Pillars
2. The Temple Where Sand Flows Like Tears
3. Dune-Entombed Fecundity: Part I
4. Dune-Entombed Fecundity: Part II
5. Dune-Entombed Fecundity: Part III
6. The Eternal Dream, Ever Lush

Players will reach Genshin Impact’s Orchard of Pairidaeza at the end of the fifth quest in the “The Dirge of Bilqis” series, “Dune-Entombed Fecundity: Part III”. This is the final step in the mentioned quest. Reaching the location will conclude the quest and initiate “The Eternal Dream, Ever Lush.” After that, they should continue until they finish the final quest in the series. This will allow them to explore the newly discovered area and gather more information about the location and its respective lore. Aside from the Adventure EXP, Sumeru Reputation EXP, and Mora, they will also receive Primogems in Genshin Impact, which are coveted items for wishing in banners.

How To Solve The Puzzle In Genshin Impact’s Orchard Of Pairidaeza

The Orchard of Pairidaeza in Genshin Impact has an area-exclusive puzzle for players to solve. It requires that they find and obtain three Memories of the Eternal Oasis by following Flower Buds and solving considerably simple puzzles to clear the path. The first Flower Bud is left of the area’s entrance, while the second one is to the right. The last one can be found farther down the path from the second one. Once all three Memories are returned to the central island in the Orchard, players will unlock a Luxurious Chest and obtain the achievement “In Her Full Glory.”

As is the case with all Achievements in Genshin Impact, the one obtained here also grants Primogems once redeemed. Besides the puzzle and the information gathered through the questline, there is not much to do inside Genshin Impact’s Orchard of Pairidaeza, except for admiring the scenery and possibly taking a few screenshots. Luckily, there are many other activities to do in Genshin Impact 3.4, including participating in the limited-time Lantern Rite Festival event, uncovering and beating the new Domains, and fighting the new sandworm boss, Setekh Wenut.
