Here's how to get more Special Clearance levels in the Sumeru Desert for Genshin Impact. We'll show you how to increase your clearance to gain full levels and access clearance puzzles.

Clearances are ancient keys used to activate mechanisms, solve puzzles, and unlock areas in the ruins of Sumeru Desert. The higher the Special Clearance you have, the more devices you can interact with!
The clearance mechanic is unlocked when you get the Scarlet Sand Slate gadget from Lost in the Sands. You'll start out with Level 0 clearance, but the Scarlet Sand Slate will let you collect clearance levels.
How to Use the Scarlet Sand Slate

Your Scarlet Sand Slate will display glowing logos depending on your Clearance level. You can only activate mechanisms that have the same number of symbols on the Scarlet Sand Slate. Here are some examples:
