The Golden Apple Archipelago is back for Genshin Impact's Summertime Odyssey event, which runs from July 15, 2022, to August 24, 2022. Various characters will have personalized Domains (also called Mirage) that you can clear once to loot a ton of Chests and learn more about their lore. Xinyan's Mirage is called Blazin' Trails, and you can loot 16 Chests and one Phantasmal Conch inside. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to navigate the Mirage and solve all puzzles.

How to enter the Blazin' Trails Mirage in Genshin Impact
To freely enter Xinyan's Mirage, you first need to complete the Blazin' Trails! World Quest. Once that's done, interact with the drum on Xinyan's island north of the Broken Isle. Select The Islands' Stirring Strings.
Then, under Phantasmal Tales, select Blazin' Trails. If you claimed the two Chests in the previous World Quest, there will be 16 Chests and one Phantasmal Conch left unclaimed. Click Enter Mirage on the bottom right of the screen to start.
All puzzle solutions and Chest locations in Blazin' Trails
Before starting, reference the image above to understand the puzzle mechanics in this Mirage. Melodic Blooms relay the power of the Melodic Harp to dispel trapped melodies. Meanwhile, all Melodic Petals need to be stepped on once to complete a composition.
Chest #1
Upon entering the Domain, you'll be facing in front of Frozen Soul (the big blue flower). However, you must not move forward.
- Instead, turn around and go through the arch leading out of the cave.
- Once you're out, turn left and you'll see a door on the horizon.
- Interact with the door to open it, then enter by running forward.
- Now in a new environment, perform with the Melodic Harp to prompt a red current to flow from the Melodic Bloom at the edge of the platform.
- Use the red current to propel you to the next platform.
The red current works just like the existing wind currents in the game in that it will propel you forward. It's a little hard to see against the vermilion sky—so keep your eyes peeled!
- Upon reaching the new platform, look left, and you will spot a Common Chest.
- Once you get close to the Common Chest, enemies will spawn. Defeat the enemies to unlock the Common Chest and claim it.
- After claiming the Chest, go up the stairs and carefully glide over to the next platform.
- On the new platform, perform with the Melodic Harp to prompt wind currents and rings to spawn. Use them to propel you to the next platform.
Chest #2
On this platform, you need to solve a Melodic Petal puzzle.
- Follow the paths prescribed above to solve the first two segments of the Melodic Petal puzzle. Make sure to only move forward—don't backtrack or step on a Petal twice, as the puzzle will fail.
- Follow the path above for the third segment of the Melodic Petal puzzle.
- Once that's done, perform with the Melodic Harp to unlock the Common Chest.
- Loot the Common Chest.
- Perform with the Melodic Harp again to summon wind currents to take you to the next destination.
Chest #3
- On this platform, defeat all the enemies to unlock the Precious Chest.
- After looting the Precious Chest, approach the purple crane and keep following it. It behaves like a Seelie.
- The purple crane will go through a door, signaling your next destination.
Chests #4
- In this new environment, interact with the drums to spawn a bridge.
- Keep following the purple crane until it becomes a Common Chest for you to loot.
- Interact with the drums beside the Chest to prompt a cutscene to play. The bridges will change.
Chests #5, #6, #7
- Now you need to turn back and go through the door you just came from.
- Once you're back, perform with the Melodic Harp located west of the door.
- A wind current will spawn. Use it to propel you all the way to the Mirage's starting point.
- You'll land on the platform with the first door you went through at the start of the Mirage. Go through it again.
- Once you're through the door, turn right until you see the Melodic Harp.
- Perform with the Melodic Harp and follow the notes as they will unlock a cave.
- Once the cave unlocks, you'll be greeted with one Luxurious Chest and two Exquisite Chests to loot!
Chest #8
- After claiming the Chests, head back to the starting point of the Mirage, where you see the big blue flower in front of you.
- Like before, turn back and head toward the cave.
- This time, jump down until you see the big red flower.
- Turn left of the big red flower (where you see a Melodic Harp) and cross the bridge.
- You'll encounter another door, which you need to enter.
- Once you're in the new area, perform with the Melodic Harp to summon wind currents to propel you to the nearby platform.
You need to solve a Melodic Petal puzzle.
- Step onto the Petal, then follow the path above to clear the first segment.
- Follow the path above to solve the next segment.
- Finally, follow the paths above for the last two segments. They're pretty simple—just go in a straight line!
- Once that's done, perform with the Melodic Harp to summon wind currents to propel you to the next platform.
There's another Melodic Petal puzzle on this platform.
- Follow the path above to complete the first segment of the puzzle.
- Follow the path prescribed above for the next two segments.
- Almost done! Follow the paths above for the next two segments.
- Lastly, follow the path above for the last leg of the Melodic Petal puzzle.
- Once that's done, perform with the Melodic Harp.
- The Common Chest will unlock. Make sure to loot it!
- Perform with the Melodic Harp again. This will summon wind currents to propel you to the next area.
Chest #9
On this platform, you need to solve a Pyro Monument puzzle. If you don't have a character that can apply Pyro, interact with the glowing vines on the left to open the party setup menu and bring in someone like Amber to solve this puzzle.

Chest #12
- Go through the door.
- Interact with the Melodic Harp to summon a wind current to propel you onto the next platform.
- You will see another door, which can be unlocked using the Reverberating Key from earlier.
- Enter the door to cross to another area.
- Interact with the drums to summon a bridge.
- Then, interact with the Time Trial Challenge. All you need to do is run through the bridge really quickly to claim an Exquisite Chest. If you fail, don't worry and just try again.
