Travelers will want to get their hands on the Memento Lens as soon as possible. Examining an Earth Kitsune Statue with the Lens will yield all manner of secrets. Sometimes it may just be cooking ingredients, and sometimes it may be an entire underground passage leading to treasure. Players who don’t have the Memento Lens yet should consider marking any Earth Kitsune Statues on the map so that they can easily return later with the Memento Lens in hand.

How To Get The Mysterious Memento Lens In Genshin Impact
Players will receive the Memento Lens as part of the Sacrificial Offering questline. This optional side quest chain can be started as soon as the Traveler leaves Ritou and sets foot on Narukami Island. Before following the path to Konda Village, players will likely notice a masked shrine maiden standing before a large kitsune statue. This NPC will begin the questline in question. Her exact position is shown on the map below.
Continuing the Sacrificial Offering quest, players will come across an objective to continue the investigation at the abandoned shrine. After solving the Mysterious Shadow puzzle, the Traveler will be stumped and resolve to make their way to the Grand Narukami Shrine to seek help.
The quest objective will direct players to speak to a specific NPC at the Grand Narukami Shrine. It can be difficult to scale the mountain to reach the shrine, but taking the path near the Kamisato Estate is the easiest method. Once the top is reached, players should speak to the shrine maiden Inagi Hotomi. She will gift the Traveler with the Memento Lens, which they can use for the next quest step to return to the abandoned shrine.
The Memento Lens is extremely important even outside of the quest in which it was obtained. It is an exploration tool that is needed for accessing many treasures and even some Electroculi. While Travelers are traversing Inazuma to search for Sakura Bloom locations in Genshin Impact or any other purpose, it would be wise to keep an eye out for Earth Kitsune Statues that they can interact with using the Memento Lens.
Genshin Impact is available for Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5 with a version in development for the Switch.
