Look for the Earth Kitsune Statues

Genshin Impact Sacrificial Offering Walkthrough - Return to the Shrine and Use the Memento Lens

Use the Memento Lens on the Earth Kitsunes scattered around the Abandoned Shrine to obtain the ward. There are eight Earth Kitsunes in total, but only three are required to progress through the quest.

These three Earth Kitsunes give you the Sacred Words to activate the Sky Kitsune!

Earth Kitsune Locations

	Earth Kitsune Locations
1	The first Earth Kitsune is located on the same altar where the first Mysterious Shadow is located! Head over to the first Torii gate along the pathwalk that goes straight into the Abandoned Shrine and use the Memento Lens on the Earth Kitsune beside the altar to get the first line.
2	The second Earth Kitsune is located right beside the entrance of the Abandoned Shrine, nearby the original location of the second Mysterious Shadow. As with the first Kitsune, use the Memento Lens to obtain the second line.
3	The third Earth Kitsune is located near the Sky Kitsune statue, few paces away from where you've obtained the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Summary, and right beside the stairs going towards the Sky Kitsune.

How to Recite the Sacred Words

First Line - "In the name of Narukami's Envoy."
Second Line - "And of the Hakushin bloodline."
Third Line - "Bring forth the fried tofu!"

Obtain the Ward
