Volcanic chaos erupts across Atocpan in Genshin Impact 5.5, where Travelers navigate treacherous lava fields and unexpected eruptions while assisting the enigmatic Mposo in the 'A Brief History of Rocks' world quest. This isn't your average fetch mission – with explosive environmental hazards and the ever-present threat of magma showers, players must channel their inner Tatankasaurus to smash through geological nightmares. The quest kicks off at Remnants of Tetenanco, where poor Mposo's DIY volcano exploration went totally sideways, leaving the area buried under pyroclastic debris and locked behind mystical barriers. Talk about a rocky situation!
🔥 Quest Activation Mechanics
Head east from Remnants of Tetenanco's teleport waypoint to find Mposo chilling on a precarious ledge overlooking lava flows. This old-timer ain't messing around – he'll straight-up admit his failed volcano spelunking backfired harder than a defective Delusion. His bargain? You handle the dirty work of clearing volcanic rubble, and you keep whatever loot's inside the golden-sealed barrier nearby. Pro tip: This isn't just about mora – completionists need this for Sunset-Blue Obsidian fragments!
Key Activation Requirements:
-
Unlocked Atocpan archipelago region
-
Completed prerequisite volcanic investigation choices
-
Pyro-resistant characters recommended (say no to crispy Travelers!)
💥 Golden Seal Hunt Walkthrough
Time to go full wrecking crew! Equip any Tatankasaurus transformation (those dino-forms are low-key OP for demolition) and start pulverizing every rock in sight across this compact but lava-drenched arena. Among the rubble, you'll uncover three golden seals – but here's the tea ☕: one's guarded by the Fluid Avatar of Lava boss near a bubbling magma pond. This ain't no pushover fight – though Hydro characters like Neuvillette make it a cakewalk with vaporize reactions. After clapping the fiery mini-boss, just touch each seal to magically transport them to the main barrier. Easy peasy!
People Also Ask:
Can you retry if seals disappear during eruption? Absolutely! Seals respawn after 10 minutes if environmental chaos interrupts collection.
Does Tatankasaurus form affect seal drop rates? Nah fam, RNGesus rules – but higher transformation levels speed up rock destruction.
Is the precious chest guaranteed to drop Obsidian? About 75% drop rate based on community data – worth the grind!
🎯 Loot & Completion Rewards
Once all four seals activate the barrier (that golden glow is chef's kiss), chat with Mposo for final dialogue. Your well-earned spoils include:
| Reward Type | Specific Items |
|---|---|
| Primary | Precious Chest (guaranteed) |
| Materials | Sunset-Blue Obsidian Fragment (RNG-based) |
| Adventure | 40 Primogems + 35,000 Mora |
| Lore | Atocpan Geological Survey notes |
Don't sleep on those Obsidian fragments – they're essential for forging 5-star volcanic weapons in Fontaine's blacksmith! Mposo might seem like a washed-up researcher, but his intel unlocks deeper volcanic world quest chains later.
🤔 Volcanic Philosophy Corner
While smashing rocks and dodging lava feels satisfying AF, it makes you wonder: are we the real natural disaster in Teyvat? Our 'help' involves leveling entire geological formations with dinosaur powers while pocketing ancient artifacts... Food for thought next time you yeet a seal-guarding lava avatar into oblivion!
