How to enter the ruin and search for a strange jade plate in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact offers many ways to explore its world, from challenges in domains to hidden caverns and mysterious ruins. While most quests are pretty straightforward, there are many challenging puzzles to solve, and the Treasure Lost, Treasure questline is one of them.

At one point, the quest asks players to “Enter the ruin and search for a strange jade plate.” But contrary to other quests, your map won’t show you where to look, so you need to read NPC dialog carefully. If you’re stuck, here’s how to complete the Treasure Lost, Treasure Found quest in Genshin Impact.

How to complete the “Treasure Lost, Treasure Found” quest in Genshin Impact

During this step of the quest, you’re required to activate four strange jade plates. The first one is marked on your map, but the three others aren’t. They’re scattered around the ruins.

You can spot jade plates by looking for stone circles on the ground with strange scriptures floating above them. Head there and select “Activate” to complete the step.

Once you’ve activated the first four, bring the plates to Soraya so she can send you to the final ruin, where you’ll have to face tough enemies before claiming your prize. Then, bring the final plate back to Soraya to finish the quest.

Strange jade plate locations in Genshin Impact

1. First jade plate: South of Wangshu Inn. You need to defeat slimes to activate it.
2. Second jade plate: North of Luhua Pool. Watch out for enemy groups before activating it.
3. Third jade plate: North of the Domain of Forsaken Ruins, guarded by treasure hoarders.
4. Fourth jade plate: Southeast of Guili Plains, near a teleport point.
5. The final jade plate: Near the ruined Guili Assembly.

If you don’t want to lose time, simply sprint to the plates and activate them, then teleport to the next location. They will activate even if enemies are around.

The strange jade plates aren’t too challenging to find. Simply find the nearest Teleporter and head there. When you have activated the four strange jade plates, you can go back to the quest-giver and you’ll open a ruin with rewards waiting for you inside.

How to activate the final jade plate

The final jade plate is a bit trickier. It is located near the ruined Guili Assembly. However, you must first have the four jade plates and take them to Soraya. She will then reveal that you must visit one more ruin. It’s in the Guili Plains near a circular pool, in the middle of the area where you gathered all the plates.

Activating the mechanism will trigger a challenging battle against the guardians of the ruin. Once you’ve defeated them, you can interact with the mechanism again to drain the water to reveal three treasure chests.
