Go to the miners near the giant crystal and talk to them. Next, operate the machine and keep swiping left and right continuously to destroy the crystal pillar.

Finally, go inside the tunnel to find Sadunova. This will complete the Awake and Sing, Ye Sleepers in the Dust quest in Genshin Impact. As a reward, you’ll get:

  • 40 Primogems
  • 33,500 Mora
  • 4 Hero’s Wit
