The eternal artifact grind in Teyvat never truly ends, does it? Even seasoned Genshin Impact travelers find themselves scavenging for fodder to fuel their precious 5-star upgrades. While every region offers spots to scrounge, Natlan dances to its own drum with exclusive mechanics that'll make you raise an eyebrow. The fiery lands hold hidden troves across Coatepec Mountain, Basin of Unnumbered Flames, and those tongue-twisting Tezcatepetonco Range cliffs – but unlocking their full potential? That's where things get spicy.

You'll wanna pack specific Natlan buddies for this 30-minute treasure hunt – Chasca or Citlali aren't just fancy accessories here. Speed demons like Wanderer or Xianyun join the party too, 'cause let's be real, nobody got time for slow-poking across lava fields. The whole shindig kicks off near the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, right by Katheryne's hangout spot. Peek behind those paint barrels near her pillar? Boom, first artifacts snagged. Then it's off eastward – drop down from the tower like you're sliding into DMs and scoop up 2-3 pieces from neglected crates.

Now here's the fun bit: glide toward two Yumkasaurus guarding a sneaky pheasant disguised as a flower. Pet the feathery faker like it's your Paimon and – poof! – investigation spot appears. North of Sulfurous Veins, bush-hiding pheasants play hide-and-seek behind giant skeletons. What a circus!

Tequemecan Valley's shorter but sneaky – teleport mid-valley, spin around, and there's a pheasant staring back like "you caught me." Follow the river upstream past waterfalls to find another one chilling near Yumkasaurus. Easy peasy... unless you trigger an unstarted World Quest. Awkward!

The real head-scratcher comes at Ochkanatlan's floating islands. After grabbing boxes near hilichurls (rude neighbors, honestly), you'll need Anemo or Natlan characters to island-hop. Look for wooden decks jutting over nothingness with investigation spots – one's behind a Phlogiston Device like some sci-fi easter egg. Down near cage structures? More loot stashed in a sad little hut. Whole thing feels like parkour with rewards.

But the Night-Wind route? That's where Citlali or Ororon become MVP. Nightspirit Sigils glow under rocks southwest of the Statue of Seven – you'll find five artifacts just by poking around mountain holes. Then comes the Obsidian Ring cave: artifacts outside first, but inside? That's tomorrow's problem. Up near tribal training grounds, sigils cling to caravan wrecks and cliff ledges. Flying all the way up there's a pain though – maybe pack snacks?

At the Flower-Feather Clan's northern waypoint, it's bridge-hopping galore. Three artifact boxes before the islands even start! One's literally opposite another across ruins – they're mocking us, right? And Furnace of Fiery Embers? Inactive Ruin Guards double as artifact shelves. How convenient!

Tonatiuh's western waypoint hides sigils on stair ledges and floating rocks – Iktomisaurus can snag one if you forgot Citlali. Finally, the Isle of Tozoz caps things off with bridge-side glowing spots. Whether you're new or grizzled, Natlan's artifact game keeps you guessing. Maybe tomorrow they'll add flaming boars carrying chests? Hey, a traveler can dream.
