Genshin Impact Natlan Guide: How to Get Keys to Somewhere & Defeat Balachko

Unlock the secret cave in Natlan by finding the Keys to Somewhere in Genshin Impact. Follow our guide to locate the keys, open the gate, and defeat Balachko, the powerful Fatui Pyro Agent, for valuable rewards.

In Genshin Impact, while exploring the nation of Natlan, you may come across a secret cave that can only be accessed using two Keys to Somewhere. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you obtain the keys and face the tough boss hidden inside:

How to Get the Keys to Somewhere

  1. Location of the Keys:

    • You can find the Keys to Somewhere near the Sanctum of Rainbow Spirits domain, located southwest of the stadium in Natlan.
    • The area around this location is filled with enemies, so be prepared for a battle. Defeat all the enemies to earn an Exquisite Treasure Chest as a reward.
  2. First Key:

    • The first key can be found inside a locked cage in the area. Although the cage is locked, you can still take the key from the outside. Simply approach the cage and grab it.
  3. Second Key:

    • The second key is dangling from a rope nearby. To reach it, you can climb up a stack of boxes located close to the rope. Once you're at the top, grab the key.

Using the Keys to Somewhere

  • Once you have both keys, you can use them on a nearby gate. There is a stone lock device where you can input the keys.
  • After using the keys, the gate will open, leading you into a small cave. This cave is a dead end, but inside, you will encounter a formidable opponent.

The Boss Fight: Balachko

  • Inside the cave, you will face Balachko, a powerful Fatui Pyro Agent. Unlike regular Fatui agents, Balachko is considered a Local Legend, making him significantly more dangerous.

Tips for the Balachko Fight

  • Speed and Damage: Balachko is incredibly fast and deals a tremendous amount of damage. You’ll need to be well-prepared with a strong team.
  • Tanky Shields: Having a tanky shield is essential for this fight. Zhongli is highly recommended, as his shield can absorb powerful hits from Balachko. Even with Zhongli, the fight can be difficult, so prepare for a challenge.
  • Tracking Balachko: Balachko can turn invisible and summon shadows that attack you. To keep track of him, use a character like Nahida, who can mark him with her flower sigil, allowing you to see where he moves even when invisible.
  • Dodging Attacks: Watch out for red lines that appear on the ground, indicating where the shadows will strike. The real Balachko can be identified by his Flaming Shuriken attack, so focus on dodging and attacking him when you spot it.

Rewards

  • You will also earn the “Balachko” achievement for defeating this challenging Local Legend.

Prepare yourself well for the battle, as Balachko’s speed, invisibility, and high damage make him one of the tougher opponents in Natlan.
