The Golden Apple of the Sun is a mission about finding the first shard in a mountain estate in Genshin ImpactWhile Paimon distracts the guard, use the eternal ice constructs to stealthily pass through the crowd of Icemen in the dew-drenched garden. Here, carefully examine the branches of the enormous tree: the foliage hides "his" fragment, which Pavlina needs.

Walkthrough for the Golden Apple of the Sun quest in Genshin Impact

Distract Ladon and sneak into the depths of the garden, where one of the shards for the Eye of Grai is located.

Go to the marked yard

Return to the teleporter at the entrance to House of the Hesperides From the bridge, glide toward the blue marker. Once you pass the mountain boulders, a cutscene will trigger.

Sneak into the garden and stealthily retrieve the fragment.

Paimon will distract the guard with conversation so the Traveler can sneak into the courtyard. This will begin the time trial:

1. A new indicator will appear at the top. When it drops to 0, the mission will fail.
2. The main goal is to get past all the icemen. Pay attention to how full the "eye" is: if it turns red, you'll be returned to the very beginning.
3. Use the creation of eternal ice — creatures wandering around the zone cannot see through Cubes (eternal ice ×20, energy -5%).

Climb up the fallen pole and, if you don’t have resources for construction, dismantle the boulders (press “T” + LMB).

After jumping down to the wooden boxes, go to the confused iceman on the left.

• If you see another creature approaching it, block its view;
• You can also wait until the "helper" goes in the opposite direction.

Run towards the fountain and Cryocula behind the curtain. At the stairs, block the view of the creature in the straw hat.

Once you reach the second tier, "blind" the rascal hiding in the flowerbed. Repeat the same steps in the opening leading to the center of the garden.

Once you reach the tree, use the wind flow to climb up its branches. Here you'll find your first "toy," an Icor.

If you have already completed "House of the Soulless", proceed to the "Procrustean Bed" objectives.
