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. This involves presenting 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.

Obtaining the Four Burning Firestones:

Burning Firestone #1:

The first Firestone is obtained automatically during a cutscene with Bona and the Little One. Follow the Little One across the bridge (activating the lift mechanism) and interact with the Saurian and Bona to trigger further cutscenes.

Burning Firestone #2:

The second Firestone is on the northeastern isle. This requires manipulating the floating island mechanisms (rotating both the right and left ones), crossing the extended bridge, raising the lift, and following the Little One. Along the way, collect a Common Chest, activate a mechanism to reach higher platforms, defeat enemies, and obtain an Exquisite Chest. Use another mechanism to open a gate, access the Saurian, unlock a door, and return to the Altar with the Little One.

Burning Firestone #3:

To get the third Firestone: Rotate the right and northern floating island mechanisms, cross the bridge to the northern isle's lower level, follow the Little One, and observe the Secret Source Sentinel carry the Firestone to the southwestern isle. Ride a Qucusaurus to reach the Pyroculus, activate a tower mechanism, and use the Qucusaurus to reach an unlocked door. Activate 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 northwestern bridge (using Bona to adjust its angle), glide to the northern isle's upper level, lower the lift, follow the Little One, defeat enemies, and return to the Altar after interacting with the Saurian. Collect a Precious Chest along the way.

Once all four Firestones are collected and offered at the Altar, the Flowing Primal Flame Quest concludes, transforming the Jade of Return into a Golden Entreaty. The Dragon of the City of Flowing Ash appears, prompting players to continue to the Nursery of Nightmares island to complete The Other Side of the Sky Quest and receive 50 Primogems.
