As a dedicated Genshin Impact player, I recently tackled the 'Dream Through the Web' achievement in the Natlan region. This hidden achievement, introduced during the 5.x updates and still a popular target in 2026, requires players to locate and read four Ancient Chronicle of the Dreamseeker Priest books scattered across the land. Each book reveals a fragment of the priest's quest to find Angakuk, the Mighty Wayob, and reading them triggers in-game phenomena that mirror his requests—from summoning birds to spawning enemies. In this guide, I'll walk you through my exact steps and locations so you can claim the achievement and the rewards (including a pile of Sunsettia) without wandering aimlessly. 📖✨

Book #1: Huitztli Hill's Eastern Grove 🌳

I started by teleporting to the Huitztli Hill Teleport Waypoint and heading east. There, I found trees decorated with blue dreamcatchers and yellow bells—a clear marker. Reading the first book revealed the priest's plea to Angakuk to send birds to guide his soul. True to his words, a flock of birds appeared immediately after I finished reading. No combat here, just a peaceful scene.

Book #2: Near the Ancestral Temple ⚔️

Next, I traveled to the Ancestral Temple's northeastern Waypoint and walked slightly southwest. Again, the blue and yellow decorations marked the spot, with the second book resting near a rock. Reading this one spawned an enemy that I had to defeat—the priest had asked the Mighty Wayob to send forth a warrior. After the battle, I picked up the book and moved on. This is the only book that requires a fight, so be prepared.

Book #3: Huitztli Hill's Northeastern Glide 🪨

Returning to Huitztli Hill, I fast-traveled to the northeastern Waypoint and glided down southeast. The third book sat on a small rock surrounded by the same decorations. Reading it caused some stones to appear underneath my feet—the priest had wished to see Angakuk in a mirror and asked for stepping stones. These stones are a nice visual touch but don't affect gameplay.

Book #4: The Cave North of Scions of the Canopy 🍎

Finally, I headed north from the Waypoint located south of the Scions of the Canopy area. The fourth book was hidden in a small cave guarded by enemies. After defeating them, I read the final entry. The priest had asked the great Wayob to take his hands and place ripe fruits as proof—and sure enough, a pile of Sunsettia appeared! Reading this book also unlocked the 'Dream Through the Web' achievement and a generous amount of Sunsettia. 🎉

Here's a quick summary table for easy reference:

Book Location Effect Enemies?
1 East of Huitztli Hill Teleport Summons birds No
2 Southwest of Ancestral Temple NE Waypoint Spawns enemy Yes
3 Southeast glide from Huitztli Hill NE Waypoint Appears stones No
4 North of Scions of the Canopy South Waypoint (cave) Sunsettia + Achievement Yes

The entire quest took me about 20 minutes, including battles and navigation. The achievement is part of the Natlan exploration content, and as of 2026, it remains a fun hidden gem for completionists. I recommend bringing a strong DPS character for the two enemy encounters—I used Zhongli for shields and mining (though the latter was just a bonus for Condessence Crystals elsewhere). 😄

If you're hunting for other Natlan collectibles like Pyroculus or hidden chests, this achievement fits perfectly into a broader exploration route. Just remember to read each book fully to trigger the effects. The Dreamseeker Priest's story adds a nice layer of lore to the region, and the Sunsettia reward is a sweet bonus. Good luck, and happy exploring!
