✬ Before you start, you need to understand how to play these two mini-games as most of the chests are locked behind mini-games.


1. Enter the Painted Ground.
2. Press [Z] to equip the gadget. Your Normal ATK now will be changed to light shield.
3. Throw a Wind-Blessed Harpastum and hit the Dodo-King's Painted Wall to begin challenge.
4. Use your light shield [Normal ATK] to return the Wind-Blessed Harpastum. Once you accumulate a certain number of hit, the Painted Wall will be destroyed and you can obtain the rewards.





1. Take a look at the Twister Ring (floating device) direction. Make sure all the direction are pointed towards the Elemental Target.
2. If there are floating device that face the wrong direction, you can rotate it by approaching the device. Note that we can see the difference with the device that we can rotate and we cannot rotate. The former, we can see that the bottom is glittering while the latter does not have any glitter.
3. After making sure the device face the right direction, press [Z] to equip the gadget.
4. Throw the Wind-Blessed Harpastum towards the first device and let the device send the ball away towards the target.

✬ Hoshina's Note: At first, I record all the video and convert it into GIF. But after I complete it, the files is too many and definitely too much and big to be put in one post. So I decide to use guides from Youtube to show you the instructions. All the videos belong to the creator!

I hope you notice how I didn't put "All Chest" in the topic. That is because I don't know how many chests are there in total for Act 2. Mine might be incomplete. I need to wait for the interactive Map to be updated to know the precise number.
Hoshina's Note: Hi guys, I know I said the total chests that I found is incomplete, but I had no intention to update this post with chests that you all found and comment (which I am really grateful to you who decided to share ❤).
This is purely because my final is coming and my assignment is piling up. I need to decrease my time to play Genshin and start studying for my final. I hope you understand! Thank you for always supporting me!

P.S: Why do I talk like I'm gonna stop making guides? I'm not. Just gonna reduce my Genshin playtimes.
