Genshin Impact “Afratu’s Dilemma” Guide: How to find a way to enter the robot and complete the world quest

Genshin Impact - Afratus' Dilemma

Afratu’s Dilemma is one of the world quests in Genshin Impact 3.1 that will help increase your Reputation Level in Sumeru. If you have been exploring the desert area of the region, you must have come across this world quest and wondered how you can find a way to enter the robot.

To make things more difficult, this humongous robot or Ruin Golem is active and will shoot you with a highly damaging beam cannon, making your search around the area a tiresome thing to do.

In this guide, we will discuss how you can enter the robot, break Suda’s Flow at three locations, and complete the world quest. Once done with this quest, you might want to check out other world quests like Courage is in the Heart, The Price, and Treasure of Wisdom: A New Plan to further increase your Reputation Level in Sumeru.

How to find a way to enter the robot and complete Afratu’s Dilemma

If you haven’t started the world quest yet, roaming around the area should trigger a scene where you will be talking to Afratus. While hesitant at first because of the threat that the Ruin Golem poses, he will let you investigate the area to stop the robot’s attacks.

To find a way to enter the robot and complete Afratu’s Dilemma, follow the steps below:

STEP 1: Bait the Ruin Golem to attack destructible rocks around. You will know which rocks can be destroyed using your Elemental Sight. For lesser interruption from the robot’s attacks, you can bring a powerful shielder such as Zhongli with you. Follow the Seelie as it will lead you to the next area.

STEP 2: Explore up ahead and break the seal or Suda’s Flow. To break the seal (Suda’s Flow), you simply need to attack it. You can also follow the Seelie as it will lead you to the next area.

STEP 5: Investigate the cockpit. To do this easily, use the first Four-Leaf Sigil you find and look for a Seelie nearby. Then, simply follow the Seelie. It will lead you to a higher area marked by the game.

STEP 6: Explore the robot and destroy all the seals or Suda’s Flow inside. To know the locations of the seals, check out our guide on how to break Suda’s Flow at three locations here.
