Genshin Impact: How To Collect The Burning Firestones (The Flowing Primal Flame Quest)

In Genshin Impact, after assisting Bona in purifying the Abyssal Corruption from the Chu'ulel Light Core, players must help her locate the Primal of Flame. Once found, Travelers must offer two Pyrophosphorites (obtained during the Palace of the Vision Serpent Quest) to the Altar of Primal of Flame.

This offering opens a path to Tonatiuh, a floating island above Ochkanatlan’s Cradle of Fleeting Dreams. Reaching Tonatiuh completes the To the Sky-Road Quest and begins The Other Side of the Sky Quest, requiring the collection of four Burning Firestones to acquire the Jade of Return.

Acquiring the Four Burning Firestones:

Burning Firestone #1

The first Burning Firestone is obtained after a cutscene with Bona. The Little One will collect it; follow it across a raised bridge (using a nearby mechanism). Interact with the small Saurian and Bona to trigger another cutscene.

Burning Firestone #2

The second Firestone is on the northeastern isle. Activate the floating island mechanisms (both right and left) to extend the bridge. Raise the lift, follow the Little One, and collect a Common Chest. Activate the mechanism near the Firestone, climb to the upper level, defeat enemies, and collect an Exquisite Chest. Use the mechanism behind the chest to open a gate, descend, unlock a door (by interacting with the Little One), and return to the Altar.

Burning Firestone #3

For the third Firestone, activate the right and northern floating island mechanisms to cross the bridge. Follow the Little One; observe a Secret Source Sentinel carrying the Firestone to the southwestern isle. Use a Qucusaurus to reach the Pyroculus, activate the tower mechanism, and fly to the unlocked door. Use the elevator, interact with the Saurian, activate the lift, and return to the Altar.

Burning Firestone #4

The final Firestone is on the northwestern isle's upper level. Cross the bridge, utilize Bona's assistance to raise the bridge, glide to the upper level, and lower the lift. Follow the Little One, return to the Altar after defeating enemies, and collect a Precious Chest.

Offering all four Firestones to the Altar completes The Flowing Primal Flame Quest, transforming the Jade of Return into a Golden Entreaty. The Dragon of the City of Flowing Ash then appears, leading players to the Nursery of Nightmares island to finish The Other Side of the Sky Quest and receive 50 Primogems.
