So there I was, fresh off completing the Chronicler of the Crumbling City world quest in Genshin Impact, feeling pretty accomplished—until An Omen of Annihilation and the Final Entreaty popped up right after. Talk about timing! The quest directs you straight to the heart of the Ancient Sacred Mountain, where you need to offer two golden entreaties to this mysterious device. But here's the kicker: if you haven't explored Natlan properly, you're stuck. Zero golden entreaties in your inventory? Been there. 😅 I had to backtrack like crazy because these aren't handed out casually—they're rewards from two specific world quests that dive deep into the region's lore and mechanics. And let me tell you, the journey? Equal parts frustrating and magical.

🔑 First Golden Entreaty: Revelations from the Past

This one's part of the Between Pledge and Forgetfulness quest chain. I followed the marker to ruins near Sulfurous Veins, teamed up with Manqu, and bam—introduced to a wild new mechanic. You switch perspectives between your traveler and your saurian companion to solve puzzles. Sounds simple? Nah. Those barriers had me scratching my head for ages. 🧠💥

Key steps I stumbled through:

  • Breaking barriers using the saurian's unique abilities (trial-and-error galore!)

  • Dual puzzles where both characters work separately but simultaneously (chaos mode activated)

  • The epic showdown against the Abyss-Corroded Golden Wolflord—bring a shield character unless you fancy getting one-shotted!

After the fight? The golden entreaty finally dropped. Relief washed over me... until I realized I needed a second one.

🌋 Second Golden Entreaty: Moment of Awakening

Part of Lost Traveler in the Ashen Realm: Act III, this quest starts with you chasing a dragon. Plot twist? Coco, your guide, is actually Och-Kan—an ancient dragon needing purification. Mind. Blown. 🤯 But oh, the boss fight. I went in unprepared (rookie mistake!), got wiped twice, and learned the hard way:

Preparation Tip Why It Matters
Team Combo Pyro + Electro for overload reactions
Healer Mandatory—Och-Kan's AOE attacks are brutal
Food Buffs Defense and HP boosts save runs

Post-battle, you unravel heartbreaking lore about your saurian friend while Och-Kan awakens. Poignant stuff. And there it was—the second golden entreaty, glowing on the ground like a beacon.

💎 Why This Quest Chain Matters

It’s not just about loot; it’s about context. Without these entreaties:

  • You miss crucial Natlan backstory involving dragons and ancient civilizations 🏺

  • The device in Ancient Sacred Mountain stays inert (seriously anticlimactic)

  • Achievements like Heart of the Volcano remain locked 🔒

I rushed through initially, regretted it, and had to re-explore Sulfurous Veins and Ashen Realm. My advice? Savor the lore. Let the saurian mechanics click. Die to Och-Kan once just for the drama.

Wrapping up, I returned to that mountain device, placed both entreaties, and watched it hum to life—a full-circle moment from that initial "Where do I even start?!" panic. Natlan’s brilliance lies in these threads: puzzles that push you, battles that humble you, and stories that stick. So grab your saurian, embrace the chaos, and hunt those golden entreaties. ✨
