How to Unlock All Domains in Genshin Impact
Unlocking all Domains in Genshin Impact is essential for farming the materials you need to ascend weapons, level up talents, and collect powerful artifacts. Domains are categorized by rewards, Weapon Ascension Materials, Artifacts, Talent Materials, Weekly Bosses, and the unique Spiral Abyss, and each category has its own Adventure Rank (AR) or story quest prerequisites. To access every Domain, you’ll need to meet specific AR thresholds (ranging from AR 16 to AR 40) and complete key Archon or story quests. In this guide, we’ll break down the requirements for each Domain type, offer tips for efficient access, and ensure you can maximize your Resin use and teleport convenience.
Understanding Domains and Their Types
What Are Domains?
Domains are instanced challenge areas scattered throughout Teyvat that reset daily and offer rewards like Artifacts, Weapon Ascension Materials, Talent Materials, and more upon spending Original Resin.
Domain Categories
- Domains of Forgery (Weapon Ascension Materials)
- Domains of Blessing (Artifacts)
- Domains of Mastery (Talent Materials)
- Trounce Domains (Weekly Bosses)
- Spiral Abyss (End-game challenge)
Prerequisites for Unlocking Domains
Adventure Rank Requirements
Most Domains unlock purely by reaching the required Adventure Rank, independent of your World Level.
Story and Archon Quest Requirements
Certain Domains also require completion of specific Archon or story quests before their entrances appear on the map.
Unlocking Specific Domain Categories
Domains of Forgery
To unlock any Weapon Ascension Domain (e.g., Hidden Palace of Lianshan Formula), you must reach Adventure Rank 16 or complete the Archon Quest “For a Tomorrow Without Tears.”
Domains of Blessing
Artifact Domains become available at Adventure Rank 22 or after completing “Song of the Dragon and Freedom.”
Domains of Mastery
Character Talent Material Domains unlock at Adventure Rank 27 or upon finishing Archon Quest Chapter I: Act I – Of the Land Amidst Monoliths.
Trounce Domains
These domains host weekly bosses (e.g., Signora, Stormterror) and appear after completing specific Archon or character story quests. You can Quick Challenge them via the Adventurer Handbook once you reach Adventure Rank 40.
Spiral Abyss
This unique Domain tests your team’s strength across eight floors. The entrance unlocks at Adventure Rank 20, but you must travel to the portal above Cape Oath in Dragonspine to access Musk Reef.
Tips for Efficient Domain Access
Resin Management
Original Resin regenerates at 1 Resin per 8 minutes, capping at 160. Use Fragile Resin or Condensed Resin to double or halve Resin costs on Domain rewards, unlocked through reputation or Battle Pass rewards.
Teleport Waypoints
Unlock nearby Waypoints and Statues of The Seven to minimize travel time. Most Domains have a nearby waypoint allowing one-tap access from anywhere in Teyvat.
