Genshin Impact Trial of Submerged Waves walkthrough – Awakening’s Real Sound

Awakening's Real Sound is a World Quest in Genshin Impact's Khvarena of Good and Evil quest chain. It's automatically unlocked after completing The Splendorous Sky That Day. 

In this quest, you need to search for three Kory Drums, which can only be claimed after completing trials. The Trial of Submerged Waves is located beneath the east of the Asipattravana Swamp. You need to solve three challenges to complete the Trial—read on for a full walkthrough of how.

How to solve the Trial of Submerged Waves in Genshin Impact – Awakening’s Real Sound

Start by heading to the challenge area by following the quest navigator east of Asittravana Swamp. Carefully glide down to about halfway down the waterfall, then enter the cave the arrow is pointing to above. Once inside, follow the path forward to find an area submerged in water.

Use the Four-Leaf Sigil to propel yourself to the other side, where the blue bell is waiting. Interact with it to begin the Trial of Submerged Waves. It consists of three challenges that involve collecting Dendro Particles with the help of a Special Four-Leaf Sigil.

Challenge #1 & Special Four-Leaf Sigil Guide

First, you must equip Sorush from the Gadget section of your inventory. Sorush can be activated using the Gadget button (Z for PC). When you're controlling Sorush, you will gain a set of skills depending on the situation. Sorush's controls can be seen on the bottom right of the screen and differ per device. The PC controls are below, but check your screen for your controls:

• Right mouse button - fly faster
• Space - fly higher
• Left CTRL - fly lower
• E - use Sorush's power

You'll find the Special Four-Leaf Sigil (circled above) in front of the blue bell. It's special because it can be moved anywhere using Sorush's power. Activate Sorush, then approach the Special Four-Leaf Sigil and use the Elemental Skill button to pick it up.

Next, fly toward the end of the Dendro Particles and place the Special Four-Leaf Sigil there using the button specified for your device (T for PC). Once that's done, exit out of Sorush.

You need to interact with the bell to start the challenge again. Since you moved the Special Four-Leaf Sigil, hooking onto it will allow you to automatically collect all Dendro Particles, completing the challenge.

Challenge #2

As soon as the first challenge is complete, glide toward the next one below. Interact with the blue bell to begin.

Similar to the prior challenge, you need to pick up the Special Four-Leaf Sigil and change its position. Start by using Sorush to pick it up.

Place it parallel to the two Dendro Particles going upward. This way, you can hook onto the Four-Leaf Sigil and pick up the two Dendro Particles along the way, then glide down to claim the other two. Following this method will complete the challenge quickly.

Challenge #3

As soon as you complete the second challenge, you'll land on another platform with a blue bell. Interact with it to begin the third challenge. Similar to the prior challenge, you need to pick up the Special Four-Leaf Sigil and change its position. Use Sorush to pick it up.

Place the Special Four-Leaf Sigil at the end of the four Dendro Particles in front of you. Then follow these steps to complete the challenge:

1. Hook onto the Special Four-Leaf Sigil, claiming four Dendro Particles.
2. Hook onto the normal Four-Leaf Sigil to the left.
3. Glide to the last three Dendro Particles.

After this segment, the water in the area will fully drain, finally completing the Trial of Submerged Waves.

Look for other Kory Drums

Enter the tunnel up ahead to delve deeper into the cave. You'll immediately find a glowing spot, indicating the location of the Kory Drum. Interact with it to get the Korybantes: Samja.
