If you’re wandering through Natlan in Genshin Impact and feel like a sleuth sniffing out mysteries, the Cavern of the Legendary Mural is your next stop. This quirky little corner of the map isn’t just pretty—it’s packed with puzzles that’ll make you think, “Okay, now this is clever.” Solving all three will net you the shiny “Every Picture Tells a Story” achievement, not to mention some sweet loot. So, grab your Hued Monetoo (trust me, you’ll need it), and let’s dive in!
Where to Find the Cavern of the Legendary Mural
First things first—how do you even find this place? Head to the southern section of Natlan, right below the Tenebrous Papilla boss arena. There are two Teleport Waypoints nearby; pick the one farther south and make your way into the cavern. Once inside, you’ll notice some glowing blobs of color called Hued Monetoo scattered around—don’t ignore them. These little guys are the key to solving every puzzle here.
Oh, and if you’re tackling the Legendary “Color” quest, this spot should already be on your radar. Two birds, one stone, right?
Puzzle #1: Fruitful Restoration
The first puzzle is all about painting… fruit. Yup, you read that right. Here’s how to ace it:
Scope out the mural: You’ll see a faded image of fruits on the wall. Look around, and you’ll spot actual fruits hanging nearby—these are your color clues.
Match the colors: Use the Hued Monetoo to restore the mural to its fruity glory. Once the colors are spot-on, the wall splits open like magic.
Keep moving: Climb up the cliff inside (or cheat a little with an Iktomisaurus skill) until you reach the next puzzle.
Pro tip: If you’re the type to spam buttons, take a breath. This one’s all about precision.
Puzzle #2: The Rock Fight Chronicles
This puzzle kicks things up a notch. You’ll stumble upon a mural showing two figures mid-fight, and the game’s like, “Hey, wanna help?” Of course, you do.
Scan the painting: Use the orange Monetoo to transfer the mural’s image onto the floor. This wakes up some enemies, so get ready to rumble.
Color the rocks: Once the baddies are gone, match the rocks in the mural by placing the scanned image in front of the wall. Need green? Combine blue and yellow Hued Monetoo (because basic art class).
Unlock the next area: Do everything right, and boom—a hole in the ground opens up, inviting you to dive deeper.
Heads-up: If you mess up the colors, don’t sweat it. The Monetoo reset pretty quickly, so trial and error is totally fine here.
Puzzle #3: A Windy Masterpiece
Finally, we’re at the home stretch, and this one’s a bit more… kinetic. Drop down into the new area, and you’ll find a bunch of wall paintings and a suspicious-looking stone tablet.
Activate the tablet: This kicks off a mini-game where you’ll help the orange Monetoo create wind currents to “animate” the paintings.
Solve the sequences: Each of the four paintings has a unique wind puzzle. Pay attention to the patterns and adjust the currents accordingly.
Claim your prize: Complete all four, and you’ll unlock a Luxurious Chest along with the “Every Picture Tells a Story” achievement.
Mini spoiler: The chest loot is pretty solid—Primogems, enhancement materials, and more. So yeah, totally worth the effort.
Why This Achievement Is Worth It
Sure, you could grind mobs for hours, but this? This is one of those rare achievements that feels like a proper adventure. The Cavern’s puzzles aren’t just clever; they’re also a neat little peek into Natlan’s tribal lore. The Masters of the Night-Wind have a knack for blending art and storytelling, and these murals are proof of that.
Plus, let’s be real—who doesn’t love showing off a shiny new achievement in their profile?
Final Thoughts
The Cavern of the Legendary Mural is a perfect blend of challenge, creativity, and good ol’ storytelling. Whether you’re here for the lore, the loot, or just to prove you’re the puzzle-solving champ, this adventure is a must-do. So, what are you waiting for? Go make those murals pop with color and claim your well-earned rewards!
