How to unlock the City of the Dead domain.

The quickest and most reliable way to get to the City of the Dead domain is the following teleport waypoint, located north of Qusayr Al-Inkhida.

Jump off the cliff at the teleport waypoint and find the underground tunnel.

From here just walk down the tunnel. It’s not far before you see the domain in its locked state as well as a locked switch that unlocks the domain. To unlock the domain, use a Pyro character to light torches that unlock the switch. Activate the switch after lighting all the torches.

There are two torches right next to the domain:

Here are two more touches:

After all torches are lit, the switch at the domain will be unlocked. Activate it and you can enter the domain, which will reward you with 5 Primogems and a new ability to teleport into the depths of the tunnels.

How to delete the City of the Dead domain.

The domain of the City of the Dead is very tomb-like. Luckily for us, the path is fairly straight forward. Continue down the tomb until you come across a group of Slimes and Shrooms. There are two waves of these simple mobs and will unlock a shared chest for 2 Primogems and other rewards.

Immediately before that is a time trial challenge. You have to collect all 8 Dendro Particles in 60 seconds, but the particles are in your way anyway.

You will come across another time trial challenge. This time you have to defeat 11 enemies in 120 seconds. The mobs are very simple and there is nothing to worry about, and as a reward you will receive a free Exquisite Chest containing 2 Primogems and other drops.

Continue down the path. The way there should continue to run in a straight line without changing paths. Eliminate these mobs to unlock a door and continue.

You will come across the final room where there are three waves of simple Mushrooms and Slimes. Defeat these enemies to complete the domain. As a reward, you will receive 40 Primogems. Additionally, clearing the mobs will drop a precious chest containing 10 Primogems and other rewards.
