Genshin Impact Sacrificial Offering Walkthrough - Carry Out the Investigation at the Abandoned Shrine
As soon as you pass through the first Shrine Gate along the pathwalk that goes towards the Abandoned Shrine, you'll see a Mysterious Shadow to your left, standing by an altar. A total of three Mysterious Shadows are scattered around the Abandoned Shrine.

How to Solve the Mysterious Shadow Puzzle

To solve the Mysterious Shadow puzzle, you must interact with the three Mysterious Shadows twice each. After every interaction, the Mysterious Shadow will move places until it reaches the three Sky Kitsunes grouped around a small stone platform.

Mysterious Shadow Locations

Mysterious Shadow Locations
1
The first Mysterious Shadow is located standing by the altar on your left after entering first Torii gate.

Afterwards, the first Mysterious Shadow will teleport in front of the Sky Kitsune statue on your right, a couple of paces away from the stairs. Interact with this shadow to send it to the three Sky Kitsune group.
2
The second Mysterious Shadow is standing in front of the Abandone Shrine.

After interacting with the second Mysterious Shadow once, it will teleport in front of a Sky Kitsune altar, just past the Sky Kitsune group. Interact with this shadow to send it to the three Sky Kitsune group.
3
The third Mysterious Shadow is located hovering just above the Abandoned Shrine's roof. You can go around the shrine and glide down from there to easily reach the shadow!

After your first interaction with the third Mysterious Shadow, it will teleport in front of a tree a couple of paces from the Sky Kitsune group, and a Cryo Cicin Mage.
4
Once all three Mysterious Shadows have teleported on the Sky Kitsune statues, head over to its location and open the three Exquisite Chests by each statue. You'll also obtain the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Summary sitting atop the stone platform.

  2. Second Line - "And of the Hakushin bloodline."
  3. Third Line - "Bring forth the fried tofu!"

Obtain the Ward

Genshin Impact Sacrificial Offering Walkthrough - Obtain the Ward
Once you've recited the Sacred Words and activated the Sky Kitsune statue, you'll obtain the Ward. You'll use this ward later to destroy the barrier, the same way you did with the Konda Village's barrier!

Use the Memento Lens to Investigate

Find the Barrier

The barrier in the Abandoned Shrine is located inside a locked cavern, south of the Grand Narukami Shrine. To go there, simply walk straight ahead from the right of the Sky Kitsune, and jump off the cliff.

You'll know it's the right one if you see a big puddle with a locked chest guarded by an Abyss Mage below. You can immediately head towards the locked cave, or defeat the Abyss Mage to get the chest. Either way, use the Rust-Worn Key from Konda Village to open it.

How to Get the Rust-Worn Key

How to Get the Old Key from Konda Village
1
Head back inside the old well behind Konda Densuke's house in Konda Village, and go deep into the cavern until you reach the room of the Konda Village barrier.
2
