The oppressive fog of Genshin Impact’s Tsurumi Island may have long since cleared for any Traveler who stomached the four-day ritual, but the island’s secrets linger like the scent of sea salt and uneaten lavender melons. Long after the main story wraps, a particularly sneaky quest lurks without so much as a quest marker or a single exclamation mark to hold your hand. It’s a scavenger hunt for seven ancient stone tablets, all locked behind mini-puzzles that test your memory, your feather-gadget patience, and your willingness to wander into every cobwebbed corner of an island designed by sadistic shrine maidens.
By 2026, most players have either stumbled upon this quest by sheer luck or given up after finding four tablets and assuming the rest were lost to the fog forever. But the hunt is very much alive, and the rewards — a pair of Luxurious Chests and the “Letters” achievement — make the head-scratching entirely worthwhile. Here’s everything a treasure-hungry Traveler needs to know about locating the tablets, outfoxing the puzzles, and finally putting those slabs to rest in their proper shrine.

Before sprinting off to collect the tablets, a quick reality check: the quest demands the same peculiar feather gadget acquired during the main Tsurumi Island storyline. If a player still sees more fog than a horror movie, they’ll need to finish clearing the island’s weather before these puzzles even think about cooperating. No feather, no glowing owl statues, no tablet — it’s that simple. Once the feather is snug in the inventory, the real fun begins.
The seven tablets are scattered like breadcrumbs left by a forgetful deity, each guarded by an owl statue and a puzzle that’s more gentle nudge than brain-buster. Here’s a quick breakdown of what each location demands:
| Tablet Location | Puzzle Type | Difficulty (out of 5) |
|---|---|---|
| Shirikoro Peak vicinity | Hit stones in correct order after using feather | 🟡🟡⚪⚪⚪ |
| Autake Plains outskirts | Slide stones to match ancient symbols | 🟡🟡🟡⚪⚪ |
| Near Chirai Shrine | Memorize and replicate the glowing symbols | 🟡🟡⚪⚪⚪ |
| Oina Beach area | Use feather to spawn electro monuments; activate in sequence | 🟡⚪⚪⚪⚪ |
| Wakukau Shoal | Slide stones adjacent to their matching counterparts | 🟡🟡⚪⚪⚪ |
| Mt. Kanna interior | Follow three Seelie, restore missing stones, then complete the stone-matching puzzle | 🟡🟡🟡🟡⚪ |
| South of Moshiri Ceremonial Site | Hit stones in the correct order after feather reveals pattern | 🟡🟡⚪⚪⚪ |
Most of these puzzles require nothing more than a sharp eye and the feather. The owl statues wait patiently, glowing faintly, ready to spill the answer by displaying the correct symbol order when triggered. The stone-sliding variants ask players to push slabs next to their matching symbols — a task far less punishing than a certain Inazuman sudoku nightmare.

The outlier, naturally, is the Mt. Kanna tablet. This isn’t just a single puzzle; it’s a three-course meal of delayed gratification. First, three Seelie must be coaxed back to their perches — a task that involves climbing, gliding, and occasionally cursing the camera. Then come the missing stones that need to be wrangled from nearby nooks. Only after all that busywork can the Traveler approach the central puzzle, which mirrors the stone-matching mechanic from the Autake Plains quest but with fewer moving parts. It’s complex enough to kill a lazy afternoon but far from the head-walloping ordeal some completionists fear.
Once every tablet is harvested — seven clunky artifacts clogging the inventory — all roads lead to the underground ruins connecting Shirikoro Peak and Chirai Shrine. Travelers should aim for the circular chamber at the Chirai Shrine end, where seven small stone monuments sit in a ring like a spooky game of musical chairs. Interacting with each monument plants a tablet into its slot. A crackle of Electro energy confirms the placement, and when the seventh tablet clicks home, two Luxurious Chests materialize in a shower of primogems and smug satisfaction. The “Letters” achievement pops immediately, a quiet nod to the lore hidden in those stone inscriptions.
For any Traveler who thought Tsurumi Island had nothing left to offer after the fog lifted, this quest is a delightful post-game detour. The puzzles are charmingly low-stakes, the chests are genuinely rewarding, and the bragging rights for finding all seven tablets without a guide? Priceless. Just remember to pack a healer, because rifling through ancient ruins in a lightning-charged chamber still hurts in 2026.
