One of the new Domains added alongside the new Sumeru region in Genshin Impact Update 3.0 is the Fragment of Childhood Dreams, home to The Jungle of Inverted Dreams challenge. Its entrance is hidden though, and we’re here to teach you how to open it. Here’s how to unlock Sumeru’s Fragment of Childhood Dreams Domain in Genshin Impact.

How to Open Fragment of Childhood Dreams Domain in Genshin Impact

We’ve actually covered most of what you need to do in our How To Unlock the Underwater Teleport Waypoint in Sumeru guide so we’ll just do a TL;DR version of those steps over here, but feel free to check that out if you need a more in-depth explanation of that part.

Draining the Water

To start, head over to the small lake slightly northwest of the Fragment of Childhood Dreams Domain on the map. It’s just west of the Vissudha Field Statue of the Seven. In the eastern side of the pool, you’ll spot a waterfall with a platform containing a Bouncy Mushroom and a Four-Leaf Sigil halfway up. Use the Sigil and the Mushroom to bounce yourself up to the top, then look to the right to see a group of Ruin Machines and a locked mechanism. Kill them to unlock the mechanism and then activate it to lower the water a little bit.

Take the small tunnel left of the mechanism (as you’re facing it) and you’ll eventually come out in an open cavern. Here, you must activate four Dendro Totems using a Dendro character like Traveler or Collei to unlock the mechanism to the right. The five Totems are located as follows:

Right of the mechanism. Use a Dendro character to unlock the Dendrograna by using a Charged Attack on the rock with the tree roots on. Summon a Dendrograna and use another Charged Attack on the Dendro block to slightly to the west to unlock the first Dendro Totem.
Use another Dendrograna-powered attack on the Dendro block to the left of the Dendrograna point. Defeat the Fungus and walk through the archway here. Once on the other side, turn around and climb up the wall here to find another Dendrograna block to destroy, which will make the second Totem appear.
Return to the entrance of the open cavern and look ahead to find a Dendro barrier with a group of Treasure Hoarders. Below this platform, you’ll spot the third Dendro Totem. Jump down and activate it.
For the fourth and final Totem, go back to the entrance of the cavern again. Look up and you’ll spy a Four-Leaf Sigil that you can warp to. Do so and there will be another one, followed by one that tucks away behind the Dendro barrier. Use these to propel yourself behind the barrier to where the fourth Dendro Totem is lying in wait.

With all four Totems activated, you can now trigger the mechanism, causing the water to drain.

Unlocking the Fragment of Childhood Dreams Domain

With the water lowered, glide down the gap in front of the mechanism. Defeat the Ruin Machines here to unlock yet another mechanism. Turn it on and the nearby circular door will open. Climb up the small wall in here and follow the path, beating up some more enemies along the way, until you reach a large drop-off with a bunch of roots and mushrooms.

Glide down a little bit and you’ll spot the Domain on a platform to the left, though it’s closed off. Summon the nearby Dendrograna and use it to activate the three floating Dendro symbols. The Fragment of Childhood Dreams Domain will now unlock, along with The Jungle of Inverted Dreams challenge. Congrats!
