In Genshin Impact, one intriguing side quest involves uncovering the locations of five Ancient Swordsman’s Inscriptions, each marked by a sword embedded in the earth, left by a mysterious and eccentric figure. These swords, found in remote and difficult-to-reach places, hold the key to unlocking the Five Blades Return to Wangshan achievement. This guide will assist you in finding all the necessary inscriptions to complete this hidden mission.

Locations of Ancient Swordsman’s Inscriptions in Genshin Impact
To achieve the Five Blades Return to Wangshan accolade, players must interact with all five Ancient Swordsman’s Inscriptions scattered across the game. This exploration rewards players with an achievement and chests that increase in value. Rewards start at 10k Mora and progress through Common, Exquisite, Precious, to a Luxurious Chest.
The Legacy of the Guhua Clan
Teyvat’s history brims with stories of mortals whose heroic deeds earned them ascension to Celestia. Among them, Vennessa from Mondstadt and Guhua from Liyue stand out. The game introduces Xingqiu, a four-star character from Liyue, as a disciple of the Guhua Clan. Despite leveraging Guhua’s renowned name, the clan has no direct ties to the legendary figure. Instead, the name was adopted by a close associate who emulated the adeptus’s combat style and passed it on to his disciples.
The Guhua Clan celebrated its heyday as a celebrated force across the land. However, by the time players discover the Guhua Clan’s Wangshan Hall, they’ll find it in a state of neglect. A key obtained from Huang the Third unlocks the path deeper into the Hall, where players will encounter the first of the Ancient Swordsman’s Inscriptions.
This journey not only brings players closer to the rich lore of Genshin Impact but also rewards their exploration with valuable treasures and a deeper understanding of the game’s historical figures and their lasting impact on the world of Teyvat.
