Guide to All 10 Mondstadt Shrine of Depths Locations

Genshin Impact’s vibrant open world invites you to explore various regions filled with fascinating mysteries. Mondstadt, often known as the city of freedom, offers lush landscapes and secrets to explore.

The Mondstadt Shrines of Depths are locations scattered across the region. They’re hidden within remote or elevated areas and test your exploration skills. The Shrines of Depths contribute a lot to the game’s lore and history — according to Teyvat’s history, they sealed themselves when the civilization that built them was lost. 

This article will help you uncover the key locations and directions needed to reach different shrines within the Mondstadt region. These can be done at any pace and won’t be too tough to crack.

Mondstadt Shrine of Depths Locations

There are a total of 10 Shrine of Depths locations in Mondstadt, something akin to the Liyue Shrine of Depths. All Mondstadt Shrines of Depths let you unlock high-tier rewards and can aid in your exploration and journey through Genshin Impact. Here’s how you can get to each secret.

1. Stormbearer Mountains

One of the first Shrine of Depths locations takes you to the Stormbearer Mountains, nestled in the northernmost part of the Mondstadt. This place is located on a cliffside overlooking the sea. Here’s how to get there:

• Teleport to the waypoint at Stormbearer Mountains. 
• Head toward the northeast, past the group of hilichurls guarding the pathway.
• Keep following the narrow trail that leads to the edge of the cliff.
• You’ll find the shrine situated on a small plateau with a lovely view of the ocean.

2. Starsnatch Cliff

Even on a smaller screen, Genshin Impact doesn’t fail to surprise as a mobile RPG. Starsnatch Cliff’s breathtaking views are a testament to that, taking you to the next shrine.

• Start your journey at the Midsummer Courtyard domain teleport waypoint.
• Move toward the east along the flipside until you notice a large wind current.
• Glide across to the plateau.
• Keep climbing the small rock formations until you find the shrine overlooking the sea.

3. Galesong Hill #1

With a great gacha game comes greater hidden surprises, and the Galesong Hill locations hide multiple shrines waiting to be discovered. The first one is fairly easy to locate:

• Make your way to the Windrise Statue of The Seven.
• Keep following the main road (southeast) until you pass through the Windwheel Aster field.
• Turn right and look for a grassy hill.
• The shrine comfortably sits next to a massive tree.

4. Galesong Hill #2

For this one, you’ll be journeying next to the coastline and enjoying the scenic views. Here’s how to find it:

• Start at the Windrise teleport waypoint.
• Keep moving toward the shore (east) until you pass through the hilichurl encampment.
• Follow the path until you spot a grove of trees.
• You’ll find the shrine hidden within the trees near the cliff edge.

5. Galesong Hill #3

The Galesong Hill locations are great to experience solo (or co-op), especially when you’re freely exploring, practicing your combat skills, and not worried about a quest. 

• Use the Dadaupa Gorge teleport waypoint for the next shrine.
• Head west, and follow the winding trail that leads uphill.
• Carefully make your way up the steep cliffs.
• You’ll find the shrine sitting at the top of a plateau, offering a beautiful view of the surrounding region.

6. Springvale

When you download and play Genshin Impact from the Play Store (or any other platform) and play the main story for the first time, Springvale is one of the earliest places you discover in the game. Here’s how to find the shrine:

• Start your journey at the Springvale waypoint.
• Follow the road south, right past the village entrance.
• After crossing the wooden bridge, traverse the rocky outcrop on the right.
• You’ll find the shrine perched on a ledge that overlooks the village.

7. Windwail Highland

Sometimes, exploring Mondstadt in hopes of finding the Shrine of Depths locations can feel tiring, and you want it to work like an idle game. That’s when taking a break and enjoying Windwail Highland’s beauty works in your favor!

• Simply use the Dawn Winery teleport waypoint.
• Move past the vineyards into the picturesque hilly region.
• Keep climbing the small hills until you spot a grassy area.
• The shrine will be visible from the topmost point in the region.

8. Brightcrown Canyon

As you journey through Brightcrown Canyon, several RPG elements will urge you to find new loot, practice combat, and more. Even if you’re on mobile, the experience will feel expansive.

• Begin your journey at the Brightcrown Canyon waypoint.
• Move to the north, following the winding path between the cliffs.
• Carefully climb the rocky terrain.
• Locate the shrine at the top of a ledge that overlooks the canyon.

9. Wolvendom

If you’re entering this region while playing the game on your Android or iOS device comfortably under a blanket, Wolvendom’s mysterious and eerie atmosphere might make you reconsider things.

• Look for the Wolvendom teleport waypoint to begin your journey.
• Head west through the dense forest and follow the path.
• Cross the wooden bridge over the river.
• You can find the shrine in a clearing next to a waterfall.

10. Dawn Winery

There’s one final location that will yet again look amazing on high graphics — Dawn Winery, a location ideal for little explorations and many screenshot moments. 

• Use the Dawn Winery waypoint to begin your journey.
• Move south through the vineyard fields.
• Keep following the dirt path until you reach a hill behind the estate.
• The shrine is located at an elevated spot that overlooks the winery grounds.

How To Unlock Mondstadt Shrines of Depths

Unlocking Mondstadt Shrines of Depths requires you to get special keys from various activities in the region. Here are some pointers on how you can acquire them:

• Get your Statue of The Seven to level 6: Offer Anemoculi to the Statue of The Seven until it is at level 6. This will grant you the Shrine of Depths keys as a reward.
• Complete world quests: Certain world quests within the Mondstadt region grant you keys upon completion. Keep an eye on these quests. They’re often marked with blue exclamation points. 
• Clear temples: Certain locations like the Temple of the Lion and Temple of the Falcon (among others) reward you with Shrine of Depths keys that are specific to the Mondstadt region. 

Once you obtain a key, you need to simply locate a shrine and interact with it. As with all the great PC games, special keys lead to special awards. That’s true for Genshin Impact, too, and these chests (once you unlock a shrine) will grant you a one-time reward.

Keep Exploring New Worlds

A game like Genshin Impact can inspire you to explore a vast collection of games across several platforms, like Tower of Fantasy or the Xenoblade series. From sci-fi thrillers to fantastical adventures, there are many worlds waiting to be explored. Which one will you brave next?
