Genshin Impact - Open Your Heart to Me World Quest Guide

Open Your Heart to Me is a World Quest in Genshin Impact 5.2. See how to unlock this quest, its walkthrough, how to get the Ancient Flint Key and the three Ancient Jadestone Fragments, and all the rewards of this quest here in this guide!

How to Unlock Open Your Heart to Me

Go to Winding Ancient Road in Ochkanatlan

Genshin Impact - How to Unlock Open Your Heart to Me - Go to Winding Ancient Road in Ochkanatlan
To unlock the Open Your Heart to Me quest, you must first go to the Winding Ancient Road in Ochkanatlan. To get there, use the Teleport Waypoint above and drop into the hole.

Follow the water in Winding Ancient Road until you see another hole in the ground. Glide down and you'll enter the Buried Underground Ruins.

Complete Buried Underground Ruins Puzzle

Inside the ruins, you'll have to do a short puzzle to get the Water-Rusted Key. Indwell into an Iktomisaur and use its ability on the Phlogiston Engraving on the wall. Activate the switch and place a box under the chest to get it.

Use the Water-Rusted Key on the Gate

Use the Water-Rusted Key on the gate to unlock it and head inside. You'll see another hole you can drop down into. Follow the path and then go right while following the waterway which will lead you to a Teleport Waypoint.

Get Ancient Flint Key

You'll see a bigger area once you reach the Teleport Waypoint. Indwell into a Qucusaur and fly to the eastern side or follow the path on the right. This eventually leads you to a ruined tower where the key is.

To enter the tower, climb the wall and jump through the gap in the wall. Take the key and some enemies spawn, so take them out and go back out the gap of the tower.

Use the Ancient Flint Key on the Altar

Back outside, you'll see an altar just next to the tower. Use the Ancient Flint Key on it and rotate it so that it fits the altar's gap. Once you complete this, you will unlock the Open Your Heart to Me quest!

Open Your Heart to Me Walkthrough

Explore Even Deeper

After the short cutscene, indwell into a Koholasaurus and drop into the water. Go northwest to see a big hole with an item you can pick up. This is the first Ancient Jadestone Fragment.

Insert Key Into Second Altar

Follow the water until you reach the end and climb the big wall to see the second altar. Use the Ancient Flint Key and rotate it so it can go inside the altar. An Exquisite Chest will spawn below, alongside the second Ancient Jadestone Fragment.

Pick Up Second Ancient Jadestone Fragment

Genshin Impact - Open Your Heart to Me - Pick Up Second Ancient Jadestone Fragment
Pick up the second Ancient Jadestone Fragment and follow the water again back to the main area. Head to the hole with Solid Phlogiston beside it, located south of the area, and enter it.

To enter the room, destroy the strange rock and remove the barrier.

Avoid Bombs and Use the Platform

Inside the room, shockwaves will explode the bombs so be careful. You can jump to avoid the shockwaves. Once the platform is down, get on it and head up.

Indwell Into Tepetlisaur and Avoid Explosions

Up above, you can indwell into a Tepetlisaur. Use its ability and then proceed further while avoiding the explosions along the way. At the end, you'll see the last altar.

Insert Key Into Third Altar

Interact with the altar and an enemy will spawn, so take it out. Use the Ancient Flint Key and rotate it so it fits inside the altar. This will lead you into the main area again and spawn the third Ancient Jadestone Fragment.

Investigate the Source of the Sound

Take the third Ancient Jadestone Fragment and approach the big statue. A dialogue between you and Ixlel happens.

Deliver the Heart Fragments to Ixlel

Genshin Impact - Open Your Heart to Me - Deliver the Heart Fragments to Ixlel
After the dialogue, you'll be prompted to deliver the Ancient Jadestone Fragments to Ixlel. Submit them and you'll be asked to free Ixlel from her bindings.

Free Ixlel From Her Bindings

To free Ixlel from her bindings, destroy the strange rocks that bind her. Use the Koholasaur's attack ability to break them. After you destroy most of them, a mini-game will happen.

Evade the Secret Source Sentinel Attack

Secret Source Sentinels will attack you, so you have to dodge the projectiles they are shooting at you. Also, you can jump to avoid the shockwaves they make. After the mini-game, continue to destroy the rocks.

Take the Heart

Genshin Impact - Open Your Heart to Me - Take the Heart
After taking care of Ixlel's bindings, you'll be asked to take her heart. Take her heart from the statue and more dialogue will happen. This marks the end of the Open Your Heart to Me quest!

does ixlel's heart have any use or will it just be rotting in our inventory?
