Shakkei Pavilion is one of the domains added with Inazuma, but you may have totally overlooked how to unlock it in Genshin Impact.

How to unlock the Shakkei Pavilion domain in Genshin Impact

The Shakkei Pavilion domain is fairly well hidden in Genshin Impact, in that at first, there seems to be no way to reach it anywhere near its domain marker. To actually unlock Shakkei Pavilion, you’ll need to instead head to my player icon on the map shown below, which leads to one of the electro cannons.

Once you’ve found the Electro cannon, you’ll want to align it as shown below. This means you’ll probably need to adjust left two or three times, and adjust upwards once. The order you do so doesn’t matter, only pointing the cannon in the correct direction does.

The cannon also has limitless ammunition, so don’t worry about missing – if you can’t figure out the precise alignment you can simply adjust one step at a time and fire, then repeat. The correct alignment isn’t particularly difficult to figure out anyway – indeed, the hardest part of unlocking Shakkei pavilion in Genshin is likely figuring out that you’re meant to use a cannon a significant distance away to blow up a segment of sheer rock face that doesn’t particularly stand out much.

Most domains that are locked tend to use actual puzzle mechanics, for instance. Not a large electro bomb fired from a few miles downrange slamming into a cliffside.

Remember that these cannons typically require you to be under the influence of Electro somehow to fire. There is an Electrogranab nearby to handle that, however.

Once you’ve fired the gun, head back over to the marker and you should find yourself able to walk straight in through a freshly made large gap in the stone face, and with that, we’re about done here; fortunately, you can find more Genshin Impact content such as news, guides and future content leaks in our dedicated Genshin Impact section, and you can find more general gaming content on our home page.
