How to activate the nine pillars in Genshin Impact?

The Nine Pillars of Peace is a World Quest in Genshin Impact located in Cuijue Slope, Liyue, requiring the collection and insertion of nine Stones of Remembrance to activate the pillars and access a ruin domain with substantial rewards, including a guaranteed 5-star Noblesse Oblige artifact.

Prerequisites

  • Collect all 131 Geoculi in Liyue to upgrade every Statue of The Seven in the region to Level 10. Each level-up beyond the initial offerings grants one Stone of Remembrance, yielding exactly nine stones total.

Step-by-Step Guide to Activate the Nine Pillars

  1. Locate and Start the Quest: Teleport to the waypoint southwest of Mt. Aozang or east of Jueyun Karst in Cuijue Slope. Interact with the stone tablet at the center of the nine towering pillars surrounding sealed ruins to begin the quest.
  2. Obtain Stones of Remembrance: Offer Geoculi to Liyue's Statues of The Seven (there are 11 statues; fully upgrading them provides the required nine stones). Use an interactive Geoculus map for efficiency if needed.
  3. Activate Each Pillar:
    • Approach one of the nine pillars encircling the ruins.
    • Clear any guarding enemies (e.g., hilichurls or slimes on some pillars).
    • Climb the pillar from its rear or climbable side to reach the glowing orange panel at the top (resembling a face with a slot in the forehead).
    • Interact with the panel to insert one Stone of Remembrance.
    • The pillar will activate and glow; an Exquisite Chest spawns at its base (loot it promptly, as it contains premium materials).
  4. Complete All Activations: Repeat for all nine pillars. Upon inserting the final stone, the large doors to the ruins will open.
