Use the power of Khvarena to destroy Gray Crystals

Hey fellow Travelers! I know how frustrating those pesky Gray Crystals can be when you're exploring the Vourukasha Oasis in Sumeru. For the longest time, I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to get rid of them. But after diving deep into the questlines, I finally mastered using the power of Khvarena, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer for clearing those 'obstacles'! First off, if you're wondering 'how to get Khvarena' or 'obtain the great song of Khvarena,' you need to progress through the world quest series that starts with 'As the Khvarena's Light Shows.' This quest is your gateway to unlocking the full potential of Khvarena. It introduces you to Sorush, the little Pari companion who is essentially your key to wielding this ancient power. Don't skip these quests – they're not just lore-heavy, but essential for clearing up the Fravashi's mysteries and gaining the ability to interact with the environment in unique ways, greatly enhancing your Exploration Knowledge. Once you have Sorush and are familiar with her abilities, destroying those Gray Crystals becomes much clearer. I remember seeing 'Use the power of Khvarena to destroy the Gray Crystals' pop up on my screen and being a bit confused at first. It's not always as simple as just walking up to them! Here’s my personal walkthrough on how I successfully cleared them: Locate the Gray Crystals: These aren't just random rocks; they're usually found in specific areas, often blocking pathways or hiding secrets. Keep an eye out for their distinctive greyish-purple glow – these are the crystals left behind by the remnants of something ancient. Summon Sorush: When you're near a Gray Crystal, switch to Sorush. She's the one who interacts with the environment in this specific way. You’ll often find you’ve reached the 'Quest area reached' when these appear. Find the Activation Point: This is where the 'First thing: Find a rock' and 'Knock this down' messages from the game (or images!) come into play. You often need to find a specific glowing rock or cluster nearby that Sorush can interact with. Sometimes it’s a floating Khvarena-infused cluster that looks like a tiny bloom. Use Sorush's Skill: Direct Sorush to the interactive point. You'll typically use her skill (the one that creates a burst of energy) to activate the Khvarena's power. This power then travels to the Gray Crystal, causing it to melt away. The OCR results mentioning 'The crystal melted...' perfectly describe this! Repeat if Necessary: Some areas might have multiple crystals or require you to activate several Khvarena points to clear a larger obstruction. Don't worry if it's not a one-and-done – just look around for more interactive elements. Remember, once said crystals are cleared, sometimes new obstacles reemerge, so stay vigilant! I remember feeling so accomplished when I completed this task and saw the 'Achievement Completed: Shining in the Mire' pop up. It's a satisfying feeling to finally clear those stubborn obstacles! Even my trusty companion Paimon looked relieved. It's all part of exploring the stunning world of Sumeru. So, if you're stuck on a particular 'genshin destroy the obstacles' objective or just trying to navigate the map, remember the power of Khvarena and your little friend Sorush. It truly makes a big difference in opening up new paths and completing those elusive quests. Happy exploring, Travelers!
