Tucked away in the northwestern part of Sumeru, the Fane of Panjvahe Domain was one of those hidden gems I kept meaning to tackle. Finally, in 2026, I set out to claim its rewards, and let me tell you—it was quite the adventure! The Domain is mostly buried in sand, teasing me with its luminous seal. To get inside, I had to solve a Seelie puzzle that made my brain do a little jig, and then face a combat challenge that tested my party’s mettle. The treasures inside, including Primogems and a fancy artifact, made every step worth it. So grab your party and let me walk you through exactly how I unlocked and cleared the Fane of Panjvahe.

What Awaits Inside: The Loot

Before diving into the puzzle, let me list the first-clear rewards, because they are absolutely worth the trip. This is a one-time Domain, so you can only collect these goodies once:

• Primogems ×40

• Adventure Experience ×500

• Dendro Sigils ×5

• Artifact: Timepiece of the Lost Path (four-star Sands of Eon)

• Talent Level-Up Material: Guide to Ingenuity ×2

• Hero’s Wit ×2

• Mystic Enhancement Ore ×4

• Mora ×30,000

That four-star artifact and the talent books are still handy in 2026 for newer characters, and who says no to primogems?

Finding the Domain in the Desert

You’ll find the Fane of Panjvahe in the immense Desert of Hadramaveth, in northwestern Sumeru. The good news? It sits above ground, so there’s no cave-diving needed. The fastest way there is to teleport to the waypoint just southwest of the Domain, then glide down to the entrance. When I arrived, the Domain was half-buried in golden sand, its glowing gate locked tight. No amount of brute force would open it—the ancient mechanism demanded two Seelie companions. And so the hunt began.

The First Seelie and a Ruin Hunter

West of the Domain entrance, a Seelie waited for me, but a hulking Ruin Hunter blocked the path. This machine wasn’t just a mindless sentry; it hovered with an aura of menace, ready to unleash missiles. I quickly learned that physical attacks barely scratched its chassis. Instead, elemental reactions—Overloaded, Hyperbloom, anything that disrupted its core—brought it down efficiently. It felt like a dance, dodging its charged spin while triggering chain reactions. Once the Ruin Hunter crumbled, the Seelie floated toward me, almost grateful, and followed me back to its pedestal. Just like that, half the seal lit up.

The Second Seelie and the Symbol Puzzle

This is where the real head-scratcher began. Right in front of the Domain, a little to the east, the second Seelie circled a stone arrangement that looked deceptively simple: six stones, three inner ones with changeable glowing symbols, and three outer stones with fixed symbols. The task was to make each inner stone match the symbol of the stone right behind it. Easy, right? Not so fast. This Seelie is a mischievous little spirit, fluttering around and changing symbols just when I thought I had it right. It was almost like the Domain itself was toying with me. Honestly, I nearly threw my controller across the room when it reset the third time.

So, I took a deep breath and... started again, paying very close attention to the timing. The trick is to hit an inner stone immediately after the Seelie floats past it. If you strike too early or too late, the Seelie’s passing will scramble the symbol. Work clockwise, following the Seelie’s path, and lock in each match sequentially. The picture below captures that perfect moment—the instant the spirit drifts by, giving you a brief window to whack the stone and set the correct rune. Once all three pairs matched, the second Seelie joined the first, and the Domain entrance ground open with a satisfying rumble.

Inside the Fane: Combat Challenge Waves

With the seal broken, I stepped into the Domain’s cool, ancient interior. The challenge here is a straightforward series of enemy waves, but don’t let that fool you—it can get spicy if you’re unprepared.

Wave 1: Two Primal Constructs

These mechanical foes have a nasty habit of turning invisible, which raises their resistance and makes them a pain to lock onto. However, when invisible they drop loose components on the field. Target those floating pieces with elemental attacks to knock them back into the visible realm and deal massive damage.

Wave 2: Four Eremites

A shift to human enemies. These desert mercenaries are vulnerable to physical damage, so switch to your claymore or sword DPS. I found that AoE crowd control helped, because they like to spread out and pepper you with arrows.

Wave 3: Three Primal Constructs

More of the same invisible tricksters, but this time three at once. Keep your focus on those detached components and use quick reactions to keep them staggered.

Wave 4: Three More Eremites

The final push. At this point, my team was battered but still standing. I rotated bursts, cleaned up the stragglers, and—

Victory Lap

When the last enemy fell, that beautiful Precious Chest materialized in the center. Don’t forget to open it before you leave—it holds the artifact and other rewards. I stood there for a moment, letting the desert wind echo through the chamber. The whole experience, from chasing Seelies to timing those symbol hits, reminded me why I love exploring Teyvat. Even in 2026, the Fane of Panjvahe remains a delightful little puzzle that rewards patience and a bit of elemental flair. Go give it a shot, and may your primogems be plentiful!
