How to operate Jinn Shrines and Vortex in Genshin Impact

Those Shrines are spreading confusion among players.

A new area called the Desert of Hadramaveth was introduced to Genshin Impact with Patch 3.4, bringing a new boss, new resources, Domains, and puzzles to solve.

New strange devices can be found in the desert or in its treacherous tunnels, and some of them are easier to figure out than others.

Jinn Shrines are small branches with a luminescent glow that won’t react to your presence or to your attacks. You’ll find Small Atmospheric Vortex near the Shrines, but they don’t seem connected whatsoever.

Here’s how to operate Jinn Shrines and Small Atmospheric Vortex in Genshin Impact‘s Sumeru desert.

How to operate Jinn Shrines and Small Atmospheric Vortex

Jinn Shrines are not actually puzzles to solve but are used to dispel Small and Large Atmospheric Vortex in Sumeru’s newest area, the Desert of Hadramaveth.

To dispel the Vortex, however, you’ll need to complete the first part of the Dirge of Bilqis quest, which is the main questline from the area. You can unlock this quest by heading to the southern city of the new map, Wadi Al-Majuj, which will naturally trigger a cutscene.

You’ll have to complete the Golden Slumber quest beforehand, though, which is Sumeru Desert’s first main questline. At one point in the Dirge of Bilqis quest, you’ll find the following gadget.

Even after you get this, however, you won’t be able to dismiss Vortex that easily. If you stumble upon a Small Vortex with the new gadget equipped, a notification will indicate you can’t dismiss it yet, because you “don’t have enough power.”

In this case, all you’ll have to do is progress further through the Dirge of Bilqis quest, where you’ll find more fragments for Liloupar to enhance her power. Jinn Shrines are then used to restore her energy after you used it to dispel Vortex.
