The action RPG has several achievements hidden from the player that only show up once you complete them. For unlocking the first one, you need to have four characters of the same element in the party setup. Choose any domain you want, regardless of the difficulty level, and finish the trial. The achievement notice will show up, awarding you with the Fantastic Four Achievement, without even needing to spend any Resin to claim the reward.

The second one is quite straightforward, with no requirements. All you have to do is to keep dashing for 15 seconds. The trick to this achievement is to keep jumping after your character’s stamina runs out. This cheerful performance will unlock you the “Run, Melos! Achievement.”

The last one involves getting two achievements in a single attempt by gliding a long distance for over 80 seconds. Having maxed-out stamina and someone like Amber or Venti in your party, who can reduce your gliding stamina consumption, is perhaps the most convenient way to do it. Jump from the Starsnatch Cliff towards a small island seen at a faraway distance and keep gliding until you reach the ground. Once there, you will get two achievements. In case you don’t complete it, there’s still a secret quest found on the island that requires doing.

Genshin Impact: New Character’s Ultimate Ability Leaked

Saving time and Resin

Players might find two Battle Pass quests a little annoying to accomplish. The first one being a daily quest that requires a player to mine 10 Ores. You can simply skip this by collecting the Ores from your previous expeditions instead. Additionally, you can complete the quest by purchasing the Ores from various sellers, and it counts towards your daily quests.

The next one is perhaps the most sweaty. It is the weekly quests to complete Ley Line deposits. However, there’s a secret to completing this quest by spending no Resin. You can activate the Ley Line deposits in the two regions and fight all the monsters. Once it’s over, it will count towards your progress of completed Ley Line deposits for the weekly battle pass quest. Moreover, players get to keep all the monster materials that drop during the fight.

However, there’s a catch. Basically, this works only once on each deposit per day for a total count of four times. Since a player doesn’t activate these deposits with Resin to collect the reward, they can only do this four times per day, letting unopened deposits reset the next day.

Meanwhile, the third Nameless Treasure can be found at Qingxu Pool, where you will need to interact with a tombstone and use a Geo elemental skill to start the mini-puzzle.

Once you sweep all three locations and collect the treasures, head over to the Souvenir Shop in Liyue and wait until 21:00. Talking to the shop owner will display a special dialogue option, allowing you to exchange the three Nameless Treasures for 100,000 Mora and 40 Primogems.
