Genshin Impact: Fontaine Artifact Farming Route

Pursuing artifact farming routes is a healthy routine that Genshin Impact players need to adopt in order to smoothly survive through the game. This is mainly due to the constant need to collect artifact fodder to level up the 5-star artifacts that you plan to equip on your characters.

It’s more often than not that Genshin Impact players are left with a higher ratio of 5-star artifacts than lower-ranked ones due to constant farming. Having fodder on the side can make it easier, and this is especially true for new players entering the game.

This area is located in the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy and starts at the very top of the map.

Teleport to the waypoint shown in the first image and head left towards some boxes on the side of the road. You’ll be able to grab around two artifacts here.

Next, exit from the tower’s lower level and glide all the way down to find some artifacts near the road. You need to break the tube for the investigation spot to reveal itself.
From your previous position, head up the path and go towards another spot with these tubes. Break them to reveal the investigation spot and collect at least 4 artifacts from here.

From the previous point, glide down to the beach to find some boxes again and interact with them to get artifacts and mora.
