- Switch to Whitenight.
- Hit the other triangle gear. (there is a switch mechanism just outside the hole entrance).
- return to the eternal night.
- take the treasure chest on the newly opened path, climb the wall and activate the mechanism.
- note the symbols and the number of points for each symbol.
- teleport to the doors in the heart of the serpent and run through the walls in the order presented by Wall.
- Pick up the book inside the treasure chest that appears.

To get Before Sun and Moon in Genshin Impact, you’ll need to complete the world quest “Antigonus,” which starts from an NPC in Dainichi Mikoshi. It’s a straightforward quest, and it’ll guide you to where you need to go, with no puzzles in the way of completion. You’ll need to fight a ruin guard to complete the quest, though.

To get Bathysmal Vishap Experimental Records, you need to head to an invisible island and do a short world quest called “Tricolor File.” You’ll need to take the Phase Gate shown above to get to the area, and the NPC that starts the quest will show up nearly immediately on the forward path. The Tricolor File item is in the cyro-gated cage, so you don’t actually need to fight the other vishaps. The electro-gated cage does have a Key Sigil in it, so you’ll probably want to open that one, too.
