'Genshin Impact' Echoing Conch locations: Where to find them in Version 1.6

It’s time for some Summer fun. Genshin Impact has put the breaks on the main story for an update to allow players to enjoy themselves with some summertime goofin’. By “summertime goofin’ ” I’m of course referring to that you can now collect 32 items called Echoing Conches in a limited-time Genshin Impact area known as the Golden Apple Archipelago. If you can find at least 24 of these shells you’ll unlock a summer-themed skin for Barbara. Isn’t completing a tedious collectible task what you think of when you think summer?

Here’s how you can find every Echoing Conch in Genshin Impact.

How to find an Echoing Conch in Genshin Impact

If you’re looking high and low for an Echoing Conch without an ounce of luck, you just might not know what to spot. Echoing Conches can be spotted in two ways:

1. Similar to Occuli, Echoing Conches will appear on your minimap when you’re close to one
2. You can also find them by looking through the world. Echoing Conches emit a little glow when you’re close to them.

There are 32 total echoing Conches to collect in Genshin Impact, but you can only find 5 of them in-game right now. Don’t worry if your collection isn’t shaping up as you expected.
