Genshin Impact: How To Collect The Burning Firestones (The Flowing Primal Flame Quest)

After assisting Bona in purifying the Chu'ulel Light Core from Abyssal Corruption in Genshin Impact, players must aid her in finding the Primal of Flame. Once located, Travelers must present two Pyrophosphorites to the Altar of Primal of Flame, previously acquired during the Palace of the Vision Serpent Quest.

This offering unlocks access to Tonatiuh, a floating island above Ochkanatlan's Cradle of Fleeting Dreams fortress. Reaching Tonatiuh completes the To the Sky-Road Quest and initiates The Other Side of the Sky Quest, tasking Travelers with gathering four Burning Firestones to obtain the Jade of Return.
