Exploration is one of Genshin‘s main strengths. Players can discover a handful of different regions, and that number is regularly growing.

Dragonspine is the snowy area south of Mondstadt, which is usually the second area players will explore in the game. Players will discover a lot of new puzzles, a sharp cold bite, and new items to collect for various rewards. That’s where players will find Someone’s Drifting Bottles.

  • The third bottle is the most challenging to get. It’s easy to find, but you won’t be likely to pick it up directly. A machine will wake up when seeing you come near it, and you’ll have to eliminate it to progress.

Although you can read all three letters inside the Bottles, only the third one, located southernmost of Dragonspine, can be picked up. Here’s what players can do with it.

What Someone’s Drifting Bottles are used for in Genshin Impact

The “Someone’s Drifting Bottle” item has one specific use. It’s linked to a World Quest that can be picked up in Inazuma. If you have the item in your inventory, you’ll be able to get the quest “Hiromi’s Watch”.

The other requirement is to finish the Chi of Yore quest, too. That other quest can be picked up in Liyue and rewards a precious Shrine of Depths key upon completion.

To pick up the quest once you’ve met both requirements, go to Inazuma’s main city. You’ll find Hiromi on a small island and he’ll give you the quest.
