There are difficult new quests to complete in the new area of Genshin Impact. Players can find all sorts of strange and difficult Electro puzzles around Araumi, tough quests with putting shrines in order with a Ward, and more. But one quest that is incredibly simple is the one Takashi gives players: to get some Mysterious Conch shells in exchange for loot.
Players can find the NPC Takashi in Tatarasuna, on the middle island of Inazuma called Kannazuka. He is located in a small beach hunt on the peninsula to the far north of the island and west of Nazuchi Beach. When players see him, there will be three common chests located behind him in his hut.

If players try to interact with these chests, however, Genshin Impact will not allow them to loot them. Players will have to talk to Takashi first, and give him something in return for these three chests.
Since this isn't a quest in the game per se, the HUD will not give players an indication of where to look for these shells. However, given the location of Takashi's hut and that fact that the Conches are sea sells, it would make sense to start the search on the beach by his hut.
The Mysterious Conch shells appear to only spawn on the beach and in shallow waters surrounding the peninsula. Here are several area marked where players may be able to find some of these shells either on the beach or walkable-level ocean water. Look for little sparkles to denote the locations of the shells.
Once players have collected at least three shells, they can head back to Takashi. He will trade three Mysterious Shells for opening and looting the three common chests inside of his home. Since these are common chests, players shouldn't expect anything too expensive inside. The possible rewards for completing this challenge are:
- Cabbage
- Potatoes
- Genshin Impact Apples
- Wheat
- Sunsettia
- Iron Chunks
- White Iron Chunks
If players did not receive whatever item they were hoping to get inside of the chests in Takashi's home, do not worry. The quest is repeatable as long as players keep bringing back more Conch shells to him.
The Mysterious Conches do respawn in Genshin Impact. Luckily for players, it looks like the first time they make a tour around the outside of the peninsula, players can pick up around 10 conch shells. Three of these shells will respawn everyday, giving players access to more of Takashi's treasures in his home.
