Where to find all Illusion Murals in Genshin Impact – Beyond the Shadow of Time Achievement

Illusory Murals appear in pairs all over the Sumeru desert at night. If you touch all 10 Murals in five locations, you'll get five Common Chests and a Wonders of the World Achievement called Beyond the Shadow of Time. To start, you must have access to the Sumeru desert, and make sure to change your in-game time to night (18:00 to 6:00).

All Illusory Mural locations in the Sumeru desert in Genshin Impact

There are five locations that you need to visit with two Illusory Murals each. You need to Touch the Murals by interacting with them and defeat the enemies that spawn to receive a Common Chest reward (per location) and get the final Achievement. All of the locations are above ground, and you can complete the objective in any order.

The numbers in the map above represent the order in this guide. If you're having trouble finding the Murals, read on for a more detailed breakdown of their locations.
