The Static Views Quest will take you through the new region of Sumeru by Genshin Impact to find hidden chests.

To complete this mission you will have to find your way using the book of Aranyaka in which is the mysterious clipboard with images of the location of each chest. While the location of some images isn’t hard to pinpoint, others only give a small clue as to what region you need to search.

With this guide, we are going to help you locate every hidden chest required by the Static Views quest in Genshin Impact and also find an important item to complete this mission – the shriveled seed.

How to start the Static Views quest in Genshin Impact

Static Views is a mission you access after completing The World of Aranara quest and your main objective is to find hidden chests in locations all over Sumeru.

To start the quest, you must be in the dream version of Vanarana, the Mahavanaranapna. In case you’re not, all you have to do is play the Vintage Lyre in front of the Silapna south of the Statue of the Seven. Once in the correct version, you need to interact with the Mailbox mysterious in front of one of the houses in the center of the area, find the first chest, then return to the same mailbox to unlock the other tables.

Looking at Aranyaka’s book in your inventory, you’ll find the Mysterious Clipboard – a selection of images showing where you can find each chest. Although you can go after each location right after acquiring the book, progressing through Aranyaka’s questline is extremely important and will inevitably take you to most of the locations shown in the images.

Since finding all the chests is part of a quest chain, it’s extremely important to make your way to a room full of rewards only earned after completing the quest to help 76 aranaras.

Static View Quest Locations in Genshin Impact

Below are all the locations you will visit in Genshin Impact’s Static View quest:

Clipboard 1 slot – Vanarana

You must enter the dream version of the region.

Clipboard Location 2 – Apam Woods

Clipboard 3 slot – Apam wood

It is in an underground area that you access by following Aranyaka’s quest. It’s near a tree trunk.

Clipboard Location 4 – Southwest of Mawtiyima Forest

Clipboard 5 location – A cave near Gandharva Town

To pave the way for this one, you must first complete the Agnihotra Sutra world quest.

Clipboard Location 6 – Maytimiyia Forest

Clipboard Location 7 – Southeast Vimara Village

It’s inside a cave that you only open after completing the Vimana Agam quest.

Clipboard Location 8 – Mount Devantaka

Clipboard 9 location – A cave in Vanarana

Although this is the ninth chest, it will probably be the last. You’ll find it inside a cave southeast of Vanarana that you can enter through a small entrance marked on the map. The path will be blocked though, so you’ll need to go through a few steps before you get your hands on it.

First, go to the chasm to find the Shrunken Seed. This item can be found inside a chest at the location shown in the tenth image, located in a small area southeast of The Chasm.

In this location, there is a locked chest and three locked totems. To unlock them, you need to use Elemental Sight to find three small energy leaves. They are in the roots near each totem. Once you’ve collected them all, activate the totems to get the Shrunken Seed in the chest.

You can now go to the cave that the ninth painting points to. In case it’s your first time there, you’ll need to clear the Withering area first and activate the Dendro totem to lower the water level.

The place you are looking for is near a branch of dendrograna on a small bridge. If you went there directly after collecting the seed, you will not be able to find the secret passage shown in the painting. You must restart the game.

After that you will see a flower at the end of the bridge. You’ll know the process worked as Paimon strikes up a dialogue talking about the seed. With the flower available, you just need to play the Vintage Lyre to open the passage to a room full of chests.

Clipboard Location 10 – Into the Chasm

Solve the puzzle explained above.

Finding all the chests will inevitably help you complete the following achievements: “A Conversation with the Owner of the Treasure Chest”, “People in the Valley of Life”, and “A Quiet Journey” by getting the Shrunken Seed.

On top of that, you’ll also earn a few Primogems, Adventure Rank EXP, Dendro Sigils, Enhancement Ores, Weapons, and Artifacts from the common chests you open in each location.

Good luck completing the Static View quest!
