Genshin Impact is finally out after almost a year of beta releases and it seems to be taking the world by storm. Genshin Impact offers a unique RPG gameplay that looks a lot like MMO RPGs but in fact, allows you to control who gets to enter your world during multiplayer modes. This combined with its exquisite graphics and in-game mechanics seems to deliver exciting gameplay.

As the game is free of charge, many users around the world have taken to it since the release. If you too are new to Genshin Impact then you might have heard about Shrines of Depths. Let’s take a quick look at them.

What are Shrines of Depths?

Shrines of Depths are lost tombs from an ancient civilization that once ruled the continent of Teyvat back in the day. Since the fall of the ancient civilizations, the tombs have locked themselves away. Opening these tombs will reward you with luxurious treasure chests that can award you in-game items and currency.

Shrines of Depths are similar to side quests and puzzles that yield cosmetic and in-game rewards at the end. What makes the shrines so special is due to the complexity of their puzzles and the reward within. Each reward for a shrine of depth has been specially curated and is significantly more valuable than your everyday side quests.

Let’s take a look at how you can open Shrines in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact Key for Shrines

The map of Genshin Impact has been divided into different regions. Shrines found in these regions are specific and possess properties of that region. You will need to find ‘Depths Keys’ that belong to the same region for them to be compatible with that region’s shrine. These keys can be found all around the world and if you are a curious player that has been completing side quests left and right then you already might have some n your possession.
