How to Unlock Kingdom Through the Looking-Glass

Complete The Narzissenkreuz Adventure

Genshin - The Narzissenkreuz Adventure

To unlock Kingdom Through the Looking-Glass, you must have completed the previous subquest of Ann of the Narzissenkreuz, The Narzissenkreuz Adventure!

The Narzissenkreuz Adventure Quest Guide

Kingdom Through the Looking-Glass Walkthrough

Keep Moving Ahead

Genshin - Keep Moving Ahead

The Kingdom Through the Looking-Glass quest starts inside the tower you unlocked at the end of the previous quest. This first objective is quite long, so we'll divide it into sub-sections below!

No other paths are available in this area until you complete the objective, so keep following the corridor until the story advances.

Find the Holy Blade

Genshin - activating the Water Volume Detection Crystal

Move to the gate on the other side to find a mechanism called Water Volume Detection Crystal. These can be activated by continuously applying Hydro until it glows.

If you don't have any Hydro character with you, you can instead collect the three Hydrograna nearby and stay close to the crystal until the gate unlocks.

Use the portal that appears to beam you straight to the next room.

Defeat the Bubbler Seahorse

Genshin - leaving the sword room

Turn right and open the gate using the mechanism beside it. You can leave the Armored Crab alone here. It won't attack you unless provoked.

Beam through the portal to reach the next room with a lone Bubbler Seahorse inside. Defeat it to unlock the gate on your right.

Disable the Bubble Formation

Genshin - deactivating the Bubble Formation

The next portal will transport you to the next area with a Bubble Formation in the middle. Use the pillars for cover or simply dodge the Mist Bubbles as you close in to the bubble and grab the Hydrogranum inside it.

Keep Moving Until You Reach the First Room

Genshin - Luxurious Chest before the first room

Follow the corridor and open the Exquisite Chest containing the usual items and a Green Feather Accessory. Past the door it unlocks is the room where the quest started.

Yes, you just did a full circle in this mysterious underground ruins. Stand on the strange glowing platform at the center again to proceed.

Unseal the Holy Blade

Genshin - unsealing the Holy Blade

Go through the first gate again, now with an additional Water Volume Detection Crystal, and reach the room where the Holy Blade is.

Use the Green Feather Accessory you picked up to remove the barrier and obtain the Jobberwock's Holy Sword.

Keep Moving Forward to Reach the First Room

Genshin - two Bubbler Seahorses

Do not turn back and instead keep following the path ahead until you get back to the starting area. There will also be an additonal Armored Crab to ignore and another Bubbler Seahorse to defeat on your way back.

Circle Around the Opposite Direction

Genshin - Someone wants this tale of adventure to never end

Strange. You passed through the same rooms but entered the starting room through a different door.

When the dialogue choices appear again, pick the new one with the quest mark, "Someone" wants this tale of adventure to never end, to advance the objective.

Now, instead of going through the gate with the detection crystals, turn right, go down the elevator, and circle around the ruins. You should find a portal in the room where the Bubble Formation was that will finally complete this objective.

Keep Turning Back in the Same Room?

If you find yourself stuck in the story loop, we recommend immediately retracing your steps, instead of riding the elevator to reach the first chamber. This allows you to activate the tile, and obtain the second Holy Sword!

Obtain the Holy Blade of Narzissenkreuz

Genshin - obtaining the Holy Blade of Narzissenkreuz

Keep following the objective marker until you reach the sword room again. Unseal the sword with the Green Feather Accessory and grab the Holy Blade of Narzissenkreuz.

Go on With the Help of the Holy Blade's Power

Genshin - the Path Forward

Return to the first room and step before the glowing tile to open the "Path Forward".

Jump Down and Reach the End of the Story

Genshin - portal to the end of the story

Oh, so you're actually still climbing the tower and it just happens that the rooms and corridors look exactly similar! Cool.

Jump down the portal below to warp to a different area in the ruins.

Defeat the Dragon

Genshin - Evil Dragon Narcissus

You are now against the antagonist of the story: the Evil Dragon Narcissus! It doesn't look like your usual dragon but... it doesn't matter! Time to put this story to its conclusion.

Unlike Rhodeia of Loch, this Oceanid can be attacked directly, but melee characters will have trouble hitting it as it's often floating above you.

It will spawn Hydro Mimics at one point during the fight. Like Rhodeia, defeating each of the mimics will take out a chunk off its health.

Continue Onward

Genshin - Luxurious Chest

After the battle, grab the contents of the Precious Chest and move on through the door behind it. This path will lead you to a study and your next objective.

Look for Clues

Genshin - looking for clues in the study

Examine the five glowing books in the room to find the book you're actually looking for. Interact with the picture book with the quest marker to complete the quest.

Lazy game design with the repeating dungeon. Didn't bother to read the dialog because it's the same old Paimon and animal friends humor.

I hate this quest line. When you get to the part where you keep moving ahead it’s just over and over and over again. It makes the gameplay boring and repetitive and feels like a giant waste of time.
