HoYoverse is always looking for innovative ways to hide achievements and rewards around the map. This strategy invites players to be more meticulous when exploring Teyvat. For example, you can unlock some Genshin Impact chests by completing a puzzle, digging an ore mound, or defeating all enemies in the vicinity. But more than once, Genshin developers have hidden chests in the most unsuspected and random places in the game. Although this explosive chest surpasses many of the previous ones in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact Players Should Be Very Careful at Chenyu Vale Because of This Ore Mound Explosive Chest

New releases always bring new features to the game, but when they add areas to the map, Genshin Impact explorers don’t wait a second to unravel all the secrets. For example, in version 4.4, HoYoverse added the Chenyu Vale as a new Liyue zone, with additional challenges, materials, and bosses to level up Gaming and Cloud Retainer. If you are a completionist, you’ll likely want 100% of your exploration in all nations. Also, fulfilling challenges like discovering chests in Teyvat is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get Primogems. But there will be chests on your way that are not what you expect. So be careful what you wish for.

If you happen to be venturing into this area, you should be careful when investigating the Teleport Waypoint south of Mt. Mingyuan and west of Jademouth. A Genshin player reported an ore mound where a ridiculous amount of minerals started spawning every time he interacted with it, and then a small rock formation appeared. He continued investigating the same spot until an explosive Pyro Slime barrel appeared, which sent it flying and lit the area on fire, and then a common Genshin Impact chest appeared. Undoubtedly, it was a scene too chaotic and fast to be able to react.

Well, you know, players must take due precautions when exploring. One can no longer be safe, even when you’re not in combat. An excellent option to avoid malicious ore mounds and explosive chests in Genshin Impact is to equip a character that provides shields like Noelle, Zhongli, or Layla. Also, Tighnari’s charged attacks can help to find hidden chests, and Yae Miko’s elemental skill can solve Inazuma puzzles. You can use Nahida, too, for plant recollection from afar. Keep an eye on your surroundings and play it safe with these tips.
