Enyanomiya is a hidden area in Inazuma's Genshin Impact. It's made of several isolated islands you can reach by gliding, and it's packed with puzzles for players to solve.
This hidden area, accessible via a magical pool, also includes an Evernight mechanic that players may use to change the landscape and activate some hidden mechanisms.
The Collection of Dragons and Snakes quest is one of those. The NPC giving the quest will only appear in Evernight mode, so make sure you have it activated.
How to Collect the Five Lost Books in Genshin Impact
Ema, the Last Librarian, will give you clues to assist you in locating the five lost books. The map will not be useful to you, though, since you will not be given any indication of quest areas.
To get this first book, you'll have to complete a quest given by an unknown NPC south of Dainichi Mikoshi.
You'll have to dodge a cliff on the West of his location to encounter this Genshin NPC. Complete the quest Antigonus to earn the book "Before Sun and Moon," following the map's directions.
This book will take some time to complete. You'll need to solve a puzzle before proceeding to the next level. First, go to the location shown on the map. There'll be a variety of mazes below, with several yellow lights shining inside.
- Switch to Whitenight mode using the mechanism above the maze.
- Hit both triangle mechanisms near the switch, one time each.
- Switch to Evernight.
- Go inside the maze and activate the four Hydro pillars.
- Jump inside the opened gate at the middle of the maze and get the quest from the unknown NPC.
- Open the next gate and solve another puzzle. There are two levers, two triangle mechanisms, and one Evernight switch.
- Switch to Whitenight and open the north grid.
- Hit the western triangle mechanism twice (the three walls should have glided close in front of you).
- Close the north grid and open the south one.
- Hit the eastern triangle mechanism twice (two out of three walls should have glided close in front of you).
- Close the south grid and hit the western triangle one more time.
- Return to Evernight. The middle section should look like the image below (two grids on the sides and a wall in the middle).
- Open the secret room and the chest to get the book.
- Switch to Whitenight and open the north grid.
- Hit the western triangle mechanism twice (the three walls should have glided close in front of you).
- Close the north grid and open the south one.
- Hit the eastern triangle mechanism twice (two out of three walls should have glided close in front of you).
- Close the south grid and hit the western triangle one more time.
- Return to Evernight. The middle section should look like the image below (two grids on the sides and a wall in the middle).
- Switch to Whitenight and open the north grid.
- Hit the western triangle mechanism twice (the three walls should have glided close in front of you).
- Close the north grid and open the south one.
- Hit the eastern triangle mechanism twice (two out of three walls should have glided close in front of you).
- Close the south grid and hit the western triangle one more time.
- Return to Evernight. The middle section should look like the image below (two grids on the sides and a wall in the middle).
This is the easiest book to find. It costs 1,500 Mora and may be purchased by talking to Kuroda, the Editor from Yae Publishing House in Inazuma's main city. Simply buy it from the NPC and you'll receive your first quest book.
Follow these steps to solve the puzzle at Dainichi Mikoshi. At the location shown above, you'll find a ruin guard with an explosive barrel on the side. Explode it to blow up the wall and reveal the path to the book.
- Switch to Evernight. The mechanism is located above a maze, below the blown-up wall.
- Hit the triangle (the grid should lower), and switch to Whitenight.
- Hit the other triangle. Grab the chest’s rewards.
- Climb up the wall of the chest to access the other area. Switch back to Evernight to reveal the puzzle above the chest; you’ll see a specific order of seals appear. It should remind you of another puzzle; you’ll have to get back there.
- Teleport to the Serpent’s Heart, and enter and activate the seals in the order shown by the mechanism.
Now, you've completed the quest. Go to the next level by gliding down to the island. You'll be able to obtain a chest on the way. Take a look around the portal.
Follow the next steps to get to a trial that includes three elemental pillars: Cryo, Electro, and Hydro. Monsters will appear from cages each time you activate one, and the book is hidden inside the Cryo monster's cage.
After all of your hard work, you'll be able to give books to Ema and receive your sweet rewards.
