Genshin Impact has recently just released Update 4.4, which added a new area called Chenyu Vale. Here, you have a bunch of new quests and locations to discover, and among these is the Chizhang Wall. There, you will find a gate that you have to open, and this guide will show you how to get that done!
How to Unlock Chizhang Wall Gate
Chizhang Wall can be found within the Southern Mountain of Chenyu Vale, just north of Mt. Xuanlian. In this location, you will find a locked gate that you can open for various rewards, as well as part of the locate all 50 Spirit Carps objective.
The first thing you have to do is interact with the diffuser right in front of the gate. This will give you some hints on how to open it.
Western Zone
Head just slightly southwest of the map from the diffuser to reach another section of Chizhang Wall. Defeat the enemies here and interact with the inactive Ruin Hunter, then destroy it once it goes live.
This will remove the iron bars it once stood on and reveal a chest that you can claim for a few freebies. Beside it will be a pillar piece. Interact with it to take it with you.
Now, go up the stairs and place it in platform on the middle part just beside the last flight of steps. Make sure to align the piece properly, as it can be a bit janky to place.
Now, turn around and walk back down the stairs. To the northeast, you should see the next pillar for the puzzle, conveniently marked with a golden icon. You can pick it up from a distance.
This piece belongs to the platform on top of the stairs. You should see it behind the locked chest. Again, make sure that it is aligned properly so that it automatically snaps into the correct spot.
Finally, the third piece is just down the multiple flights of stairs to the east. Once you pick that up, go and place it on the last platform at the base of the stairs leading up to the chest.
After that, the diffuser behind the chest should become interactable. Do this and you will get the Fragrant Wood “Chizhang” key item, and the precious chest will be unlocked.
Eastern Zone
For the next part of the gate puzzle, fast travel back to the Southern Mountain teleport waypoint. After that, just jump down to the west, where you will see multiple platforms just like the ones from the previous zone.
After defeating all of the enemies in this area, there will be a pillar piece right on the ground out in the open. Pick this one up first and place it on the platform just beside it.
This will open the gate right behind the platform. Inside will be another pillar piece that you have to pick up. After picking it up, place it on the platform directly behind you, just opposite the previous one.
Now, pick up the first pillar that you used to open the gate and place it on the platform just above the stairs behind the second pillar.
This will open yet another gate behind you, which will contain a third pillar piece. Run inside and trigger the traps to clear the way, then pick up the piece.
This piece will go on the base of the stairs leading up to the diffuser. Line it up properly to form a ruined archway.
Now, pick up the second pillar piece from earlier and put it on the platform at the middle of the stairs, just ahead of the archway.
Finally, pick up the first pillar piece and place it on the last platform at the tip of the stairs, just in front of the diffuser.
This will open up the diffuser, which will give you the Fragrant Wood “Huangcong” key item. A precious chest will also open up right behind it.
Opening the Gate
Now that you have both of the fragrant wood items, head back to the diffuser in front of the locked gate at Chizhang Wall. Submit both of the fragrant wood pieces and the gate should open right up.
Once you go inside, you will face a Ruin Grader that will activate to your right. After defeating it, you will gain access to multiple chests inside the room.
And that is everything you need to know about the locked gate at Chizhang Wall in Genshin Impact. If you haven’t yet, you should also check out our guide on how to unlock the Rainjade Oblation for even more new rewards added in the update!
