Unlocking Stormterror Lair: Step-by-Step Guide
To break the seals on Stormterror’s tower, you need to activate the three Light Actuator altars located to the north, east, and west around Stormterror’s Lair. First, collect the Guiding Light pieces from various locations around the tower.
- Eastern Light Actuator: Find a Guiding Light piece near a raised platform surrounded by crumbling columns. The other two pieces are located on tall ruins to the northwest.
- Northern Light Actuator: Locate the first Guiding Light piece behind boxes near a Hurlichurl camp. The second is hidden behind breakable rocks, and the last one is guarded by a barrier.
- Western Light Actuator: Gather the three pieces around the altar and defeat any enemies that appear before you can activate it.
Once all three Light Actuators are lit, teleport back to the top of the tower to enter the newly opened Domain Entrance where you’ll face Stormterror.
Begin the battle by shooting at the purple tainted blood clots on his back to reduce his health. As he attacks, dodge meteor-like projectiles and use Venti to create wind currents by shooting the purple ones. During the grounded battle, avoid Stormterror’s powerful attacks and utilize Venti’s charged arrows to weaken his shield.
When he reaches half health, be cautious of the fissures he creates—use wind currents to navigate to safe platforms while continuing your attack.
Additionally, players can fast travel to the Lair, then fly to the west. Each of the three glowing pieces is located around the central pillar. After collecting them all and defeating the enemies with the best Genshin Impact characters, you’ll successfully break the seal.

Understanding Seal Mechanics in Genshin Impact
In Genshin Impact, understanding the mechanics of breaking seals in Stormterror’s Lair involves several steps. Following your conversation with Venti, he will request that you break the three seals surrounding the lair. Importantly, there is no set order for this task; you can begin with any seal you choose. Each of the seals is located in a different area: one in the north, one in the east, and one in the west.
To break the seals, you need to collect three glowing pyramids known as Light Actuators in each of the search zones. Once you have gathered the three pieces, approach the pillar in the center. The pyramids will automatically slam into the ground, effectively breaking one seal. Repeat this process three times to complete this step of the quest.
- To access the north side, the three pieces are scattered throughout the area, requiring you to defeat some Hilichurls and Geo slimes.
- When you reach the light actuator, a group of enemies will appear, which you must defeat within a certain time. Having Hydro characters on your team is beneficial to break the Pyro Abyss mage shield. The third light piece can be found nearby the light actuator.
- On the west side, the parts are easy to find as they are scattered nearby the seal. However, a combat challenge must be completed to use the pieces on the seal.
To start the “Break the Seal” quest, follow the main prologue quest until Venti removes the first layer of the barrier. You must be at Adventure Rank 18 to access the area.
