Origin of divergence in Genshin impact is a hidden achievement that appeared in the game after the release of patch 3.4. Achivka is connected with the Hadramavet Desert region. Find out the truth behind the destruction of the Hermit research expedition in Gurabad by reading the notes of its members.
In this guide, we will tell you where to find explorers' journals and how to get the Origin of Divergence achievement.
How to get the Origin of Divergence achievement in Genshin Impact
To get the hidden achievement Origin of Divergence, you need to read all the entries in the journals of the explorers. Having found the desired item, interact with it to read. The Origin of Divergence achievement will appear in the section wonders of the world and bring 5 primogems.
Where to find all Pathfinder Journals in Genshin Impact
The magazines are located in the locality Wadi al-Majuj, all you need to find and read 6 pieces. You can open them in any order. Below is a detailed look at where each log is located.
Pathfinder's Journal 1
In order to find the first journal, move to the teleportation point in the east of Wadi al-Majuj. Then turn around and use the four leaf symbol behind teleport. Once in its place, open the glider and turn right.
Fly to the stone platform. Several Hermits are waiting here: defeat them and look behind the pile of stones. On one of the boxes is the first magazine. Be sure to read it, and then head on from here to the second entry.
Pathfinder's Journal 2
The second part is located nearby, a little west of the first. After jumping off the stone platform, you will find yourself in ruins: hold on right side and run down.
At one of the stairs, without going down it, you will find the second entry. It lies on a crate in the corner on the right. Interact with the journal to study it and move on.
Pathfinder's Journal 3
Move towards the northwest of the ruins, still keeping to their right side. There will be Hermits along the way: fight them to calmly search and read the records. After flying through the wooden structure, you will find yourself on a stone staircase. Go down the stairs, and on the crate at the bottom, examine the third magazine.
Pathfinder's Journal 4
From the third entry, run northwest again. Climb down to the wooden surface and move towards the edge until you reach a stone staircase.
Move even lower, jump to the next wooden platform. The fourth entry is on the ledge on the left. Read it and move on.
Pathfinder's Journal 5
Jump from the platform where you picked up the fourth magazine, and fly to the left side of the ruins, towards the wooden stairs. Climb up on them to the upper tier, where you will meet a group of Treasure Thieves.
After defeating opponents, run behind the statue. On the box against the wall you will find the fifth magazine.
Pathfinder's Journal 6
Right next to the fifth entry you will see a four-leaf symbol. Pull towards it and, once in a small cave, run deeper into it.
Entering the site with Obelisk in the center, fight several opponents. Run to the edge and, having flown over the cliff, you will find yourself on the opposite side. Here you will see two burning torches: near the far one, which is located at the foot of the stairs, read the last, sixth, part of the magazines.
After reading it, the characters will talk, and Slab of red sands will appear symbol of the city of Gurabad. The wall near the torches is highlighted in the sense of the elements, and you can remove it according to the quest "Memory of Gurabad".

I collected all 6 things, but it doesn’t count even though I completed all the desert quests(
Below in the comments they wrote that it is worth reading all the notes in reverse order. You can also re-enter the game through the paymon menu and then check the achievement in the list
thank you for the clear guide!
Every time I’m stupid, I rely on your articles - you help a lot ❤
You are great, thank you again!
Thank you for your pleasant feedback^^ We are glad to try our best, thank you for watching our guides)
The 6th note appears only after completing the quest Dual Evidence
thank you, we will update the information
It counts crookedly. Only when I went back and read all the notes again did it work on the first one.
great guide
The achievement was given, but the notification did not pop up. It's there when you enter the menu.
Also, I didn't have a cutscene. Maybe once played before, I do not know
Collected like all the power (except this one), but the sixth magazine did not appear .. there is no achievement and symbol either
and the rest of the magazines in place?
Yes
try contacting tech support
How to open a wall that glows in a different color under the eye of God in the same place by the torches???
by questMemories of Gurabad
and what interesting things can be discovered with this stove now? It seems that there was enough power for everything
told in guide about gurabad symbol
The sixth log appeared only after receiving the previous characters
And where to find tirzad, which is mentioned after reading the sixth note?
perhaps the traveler will meet him again later. since he is one of the scientists, he can stand somewhere in the academy
Thanks a lot for the guide. you helped a lot
I wish you success in the future
Thanks for the feedback 🙂 Glad to help, enjoy the game!)
Completed the achievement after closing all quests. But it counts very strange. I read all the magazines in order - the achievement was not counted. Then I started reading the magazines in reverse order, and immediately after reading the 5th achievement was given. Strange…
What is the key and what is it for? I kind of got it, but it's not in my inventory
it turns into a symbol of the city of Gurabad on a stone slab
All magazines are read, but not in order. Achievement was given, there was no cut scene. There is no key in the place where the sixth magazine lies... It's all very strange.
Have you upgraded the Red Sands Slab? terms are still being determined
Yes, everything is fully loaded
did you complete the Requiem Bilcis chain of this update?
I completed all available quests. The key that I was talking about is the stone key, which is not given yet, but due to bugs, some people received it.
Wrote in support, the proposed option did not help, there was no cutscene. So, alas, I do not know what gg discussed with Paimon.
it turns out that you did not have the symbol of gurabad on the slab of red sands?
The gurabad symbol appeared when I don’t remember exactly. Achievement received. All notes have been read. There just wasn't a cutscene. We are trying to solve this problem with genshin support, but so far to no avail.
I had a cutscene long before the achievement. When you come to the location of the sixth entry and read automatically, the characters chatted among themselves long before reading all the entries. At that time, probably a maximum of two passed. I still thought that this was the beginning of some kind of quest, but no. Probably lag.
in the last screenshot, the wall behind the two torches is highlighted in white and shows a shard behind it. How to open?
Strange, but true. I don't have this wall. Maybe due to the fact that the level of the genie is the maximum (then some walls disappear). You can get to that place from the other side, there is an entrance
genie blows her away questMemories of Gurabad
did everything, the old authorities are all collected, the cut-scene was. But for some reason I didn't get an achievement...
did you read every magazine and didn't get an achievement? you completed the chain Panikhida Bilcis?
There are also small stone tablets in the desert that cannot be read until the end of the quest with the genie. Then they become readable, but I haven’t found a map with their location anywhere.
There is nothing in place of the sixth entry, but the old authorities are not all collected, maybe because of this?
Unfortunately I can't confirm at the moment
It also doesn’t get better for me and the authorities haven’t been collected either, and I haven’t finished the quests either
