These challenges, unlocked via Special Obsidian Totems, bring a mix of tough battles, clever puzzles, and some pretty sweet rewards. Think of them as the ultimate side quests for dedicated Travelers. Here’s a breakdown of all the Obsidian Totem locations and how to unlock the trials—they’re worth every minute of your time!
Obsidian Totem Location 1: Ichcahuipilli’s Aegis
- Location: North of Huitztli Hill, Natlan.
- How to Unlock:
Start by teleporting to Huitztli Hill and heading northeast into the river valley. You’ll need to mess around with three underground lights to summon the totem.- The first light? It’s behind some Condessence Crystals. Smash them up, then follow the underground creature that pops out to its spot.
- For the second, there’s a tree nearby with a hidden hook inside. Use it to shift a stone cube out of your way.
- The last one’s north of the area. This one’s a bit tricky—you’ll need to transform into a Yumkasaurus (yes, really) to interact with it.
Once all three lights are set, the Obsidian Totem appears, along with a Luxurious Chest. Nice reward, huh?
Obsidian Totem Location 2: Tlatzacuilotl
- Location: Northeastern Sulfurous Veins, Natlan.
- How to Unlock:
Teleport to the Sulfurous Veins Waypoint, then take a leap southeast to the bottom of the area. You’ll find a shiny rock with a Tepetlisaurus hanging out nearby.- Transform into the creature by interacting with the rock.
- Smash the rock to reveal a track leading into a cave. Follow it to find the Obsidian Totem inside.
Obsidian Totem Location 3: Chimalli’s Shade
- Location: Northwest of Ancestral Temple, Natlan.
- How to Unlock:
This one’s straightforward. Head to the Ancestral Temple and locate the trial site. You’ll need to either solve a puzzle or defeat a tough enemy—Genshin style. Complete that, and the totem’s all yours.
Obsidian Totem Location 4: “He Never Dies”
- Location: Southwest of Chiconahuapan Ridge, Natlan.
