Genshin Impact: How To Collect The Burning Firestones (The Flowing Primal Flame Quest)

Author : Lily Feb 27,2025

After assisting Bona in purifying the Chu'ulel Light Core from Abyssal Corruption in Genshin Impact, players must help her locate the Primal of Flame. Once found, Travelers must present two Pyrophosphorites (obtained during the Palace of the Vision Serpent Quest) to the Altar of Primal of Flame.

This offering unlocks access to Tonatiuh, a floating island above Ochkanatlan's Cradle of Fleeting Dreams. Reaching Tonatiuh completes the To the Sky-Road Quest and initiates The Other Side of the Sky Quest, requiring Travelers to gather four Burning Firestones to acquire the Jade of Return.

Acquiring the Four Burning Firestones in Genshin Impact

The first Burning Firestone is obtained by:

  4. Interacting with the small Saurian and Bona.
  5. Completing another cutscene.

The second Burning Firestone is located on the northeastern isle. Follow these steps:

  1. Rotate the right and left floating isle mechanisms.
  2. Cross the extended bridge eastward.
  3. Raise the lift.
  4. Follow the Little One to the Firestone.
  5. Collect a Common chest en route.
  6. Activate the mechanism near the Firestone.
  7. Ascend the platforms to the upper level, defeat the enemy, and collect an Exquisite chest.

  9. Descend to the Saurian, unlock the door, and instruct the Little One to return to the altar.
  10. Return to the Altar of Primal of Flame.

Burning Firestone Location 3

To obtain the third Burning Firestone:

  1. Rotate the right and northern floating isle mechanisms.
  2. Cross the bridge to the northern isle's lower level and follow the Little One.
  3. Observe the Secret Source Sentinel transporting the Firestone to the southwestern isle.
  4. Proceed to the northwestern edge, ride a Qucusaurus, and fly towards the Pyroculus.
  5. Activate the tower mechanism, transform into a Qucusaurus, and fly to the unlocked door.
  6. Use the elevator to return upstairs, interact with the Saurian, follow it, activate the lift, and return to the Altar of Primal of Flame.

The final Burning Firestone is on the northwestern isle's upper level:

  1. Cross the northwestern bridge, prompting Bona to adjust its angle.
  2. Glide to the northern isle's upper level.
  3. Lower the lift and follow the Little One.
  4. Instruct the Little One to return to the altar.
  5. Defeat the enemies, and then instruct the Saurian to return to the altar again.
  6. Collect a Precious chest and proceed to the Altar of Primal of Flame.

Offering all four Firestones to the Altar completes The Flowing Primal Flame Quest, transforming the Jade of Return into a Golden Entreaty. The Dragon of the City of Flowing Ash will then appear, leading to the Nursery of Nightmares island and the completion of The Other Side of the Sky Quest, rewarding 50 Primogems.
