How to Try To Open the Coffin in Genshin Impact

Once you get to the part of the The Secret of Al-Ahmar quest where you’re asked to open the coffin, you’ll be at the center of the Mausoleum where the huge coffin lies. In order to open the coffin, all you need to do is release four glowing cubes called Primal Embers that make their way to the Primal Torches. These are the large pillars on the four corners of the coffin. Once the quest is active, you will even get markers to pin-point the location of the Primal Embers making it easier for you to find them.

You can find the first two Primal Embers by entering through the big doorway to the right of the room. Now, you will have two pathways on either side to get to each Primal Ember. To get to the Primal Ember on the right, players will have to use the Four-Leaf Sigil to teleport on top of the platform where you will find the first Primal Ember. For the Ember on the left, you will be guided by a floating Seelie leading you directly to the second Ember.

The remaining two Primal Embers can be found on the left doorway of the main room. At this point, you’ll again have two pathways on either side. Heading to the left side, you should take a flight of stairs up towards a huge statue. Above this statue you will find yet another Four-Leaf Sigil to teleport you directly to the Third Ember. As for the last Ember on the right side, you need to walk down a hallway to a big rotor on the floor that will push you up to a platform with an air current. Glide slowly to this platform to find the last Primal Ember.

How To Release The Primal Embers

Once you find the Primal Embers, all you need to do is interact with each of them to release them. The Embers will float and you will have to follow them to their respective Primal Torches to activate them. If you want a more detailed and visual guide on how to find and release the Embers, we recommend watching this video.
