Genshin Impact gets updated every six weeks on average with new content, but the most fun updates are where the map gets extended and a new area is added since you get to explore the beautiful world of Teyvat again. During the version 5.5 update, the Atocpan region was added in Natlan.

Genshin Impact: Best Weapons For Varesa
You can significantly increase the overall damage dealt by Varesa if you use one of these weapons on her in Genshin Impact.
While exploring this area, you’ll notice a small island on its bottom left edge where you can find a Secret Source Dragon puzzle with a luxurious chest. If you want to unlock this chest, you’ll have to solve a small maze before fighting the dragon boss.
How To Reach The Maze Puzzle Area
After unlocking the map of Genshin Impact, you’ll notice a big gap between the mainland of Atocpan and the tiny island at the bottom. You can easily cross this gap if you have certain characters, mainly Furina. But there’s also a proper way to reach the island at the bottom, and it can be found on the bottom edge of the area just above it.
As you reach this area, you’ll notice a dragon circling the beach. You can either use Varesa/Iansan or turn yourself into one of the Tatankasaurus on the beach, and charge at the shiny pistons on the side of this dragon. When you do that a few times, you can get the exquisite chest on its body and use it to reach the bottom island.
How To Solve The Maze Puzzle
After you reach the island, head to the center part, and you’ll see another Secret Source Dragon in a big arena. You can activate this puzzle by interacting with the mechanism in front of the dragon’s face. This will trigger a maze where you’ll see your final mechanism on a gap to the right, but you won’t be able to go there because of a barrier.
Instead, you have to start heading to the left side and go all the way around. While doing this, you’ll notice various lights on the floor and pistons on the wall. If you step into these lights, the pistons will trigger and shoot a barrier at you that deals quite a lot of damage.
Go through this left path up, then right, and then all the way back down while avoiding these lights as much as possible. When you’re past midway, some lights will also start flickering in and out. You can also just use Varesa or Iansan and charge through these pistons to break them instead.
Alternatively, you can just use a strong shielder and run through the maze as the damage from pistons will likely not be able to break your shield.
Once you interact with the second mechanism, the maze will end and a boss fight will trigger.
How To Defeat The Vagrant Secret Source Dragon Idol
During the fight, you’ll find the arena covered with walls as the Secret Source Dragon boss goes in and out of it while shooting piston barriers at you. There are two ways to defeat this boss:
- You can either use Varesa or Iansan and wait for the boss to come down low before charging at its pistons. There are plenty of little crystals in the battlefield that regenerate your Phlogiston and let you stay in the Nightsoul mode.
- Alternatively, you can use the lights around the arena. When you step on these lights, at the right time, the pistons around them will shoot a projectile in front. Upon hitting the dragon successfully, you’ll lower its HP.
Once you defeat the Vagrant Secret Source Dragon Idol boss, you can claim the luxurious chest on its head and finish this puzzle.
