How to get the Ancient Stone Key in Genshin Impact

The Ancient Stone Key is used by unlocking a door that gives access to a temple north of the Tanit Camps. The area is located south of the Desert of Hadramaveth in Sumeru.

Many players have been left bewildered in front of this door, not being able to find the key when exploring the area around them. The item description indicates the item is “held by the Matriarch of the Tanit tribe,” which designates Babel, an NPC players encounter in the Dirge of Bilqis quest.

Starting Feb. 6, the Ancient Stone Key was officially added to the game with the server reset. Those who’ve completed all questlines available in the Desert of Hadramaveth can unlock the Behold, The Sign Comes Like A Thief quest. Here’s a guide on how to pick it up.

Once you’ve completed the quest, you’ll be able to find the Ancient Stone Key. Head to Babel’s location, north of the Tanit Camp, and look for it on the ground. It’s located near a pillar, in front of the statue.

Finally, you’ll be able to open the locked door and you’ll get gigantic chests of Mora inside.
