Where to find and unlock every Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths, plus how to get the keys you need.

Where to find and unlock every Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths, plus how to get the keys you need.

Snezhnaya holds four Shrines of Depths, each sealing a Luxurious chest behind a locked gate. To open one, you need a Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths key that matches the region, and the four shrines are split across Fellfrost Peak, Flamefeather Valley, and White Birch Snowgrave in Genshin Impact.

Quick answer: Two shrines sit in Fellfrost Peak, one in Flamefeather Valley, and one in White Birch Snowgrave. Bring a Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths key to each, stand in front of the gate, and confirm to open it and claim the Luxurious chest inside.


How to get Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths keys

Each shrine needs its own key, and the keys only work on shrines within Snezhnaya. You earn them by leveling up the Statues of the Seven in Snezhnaya and by progressing the region’s Meeting Points. A key is consumed when you open a shrine, so match the number of keys you carry to the number of shrines you plan to open.

Meeting Point rewards contribute to your Snezhnaya key supply.

Tip: Once you open a shrine and take its Luxurious chest, the chest does not respawn. You can only collect each one a single time, so spend keys deliberately.

Move north-west toward the cliff’s edge until you reach the shrine gate.
Use a Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths key to unlock it, then claim the Luxurious chest inside.

Shrine 2: South-east of the House of Hesperides

This shrine sits south-east of the House of Hesperides. There are two ways to reach it depending on whether you want to climb.

Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths Location 2 In Genshin Impact
Teleport to the waypoint east of the House of Hesperides.
Walk south-east, then climb the mountain to reach the shrine.

To avoid the climb, fast travel to the House of Hesperides main entrance waypoint instead and move south-west to find the shrine. Either route needs a Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths key to open the Luxurious chest.

Note: Entry to the House of Hesperides requires an Invitation to the “Ritual,” which you obtain during the Hesperides of Love and Hate World Quest.


Shrine 3: On the way to Flamefeather Valley

You can reach the third shrine while completing the Down in the Dumps World Quest as you head toward Flamefeather Valley.

Fast travel to the waypoint by the Flamefeather Valley entrance.
Glide south to drop down to the shrine, then unlock it with a key to claim the chest.

Shrine 4: White Birch Snowgrave

The final shrine is in White Birch Snowgrave, and the path there passes through enemies, so bring a well-built team.

Teleport to the southern waypoint at Pilgrimage to the Sacred Gorge.
Walk north-east toward the shrine, clearing the enemies along the way.
Use a Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths key at the gate to open it and take the last Luxurious chest.

How to confirm a shrine is unlocked

Stand directly in front of the shrine and select Confirm. When a matching key is in your inventory, the gate opens and the barrier drops, giving you access to the Luxurious chest. If nothing happens, you are either missing a Snezhnaya key or standing too far from the gate.

After you loot a shrine’s chest, it will not appear again, so once all four are open you have collected everything Snezhnaya’s Shrines of Depths have to offer.
