Meropida Fortress is an underwater prison located in the depths of the Liffey region. Run by Administrator Wriothesley, the prison is both a clock factory and holds huge secrets that even Fontaine’s most senior officials are unaware of. There are three ways to enter Meropid’s Fortress, including options for new players who have not yet completed the long Archon quests.

Where to find Meropid’s Fortress in Genshin Impact
Option 1: Archon Quest
In Archon Fontaine’s Quest, Chapter IV: Act III – To the Stars that Shine in the Deep , you will be asked to find out Childe’s whereabouts in Meropida’s fortress. At some point, Nevillet will open the entrance from the Epiklese Opera, which will lead you directly to the underwater prison. From there, unlock the nearest teleportation point to easily return at any time.
If you haven’t unlocked Archon Fontaine’s quests yet, or are putting it off until later, there is an easy way to get to Meropidas Fortress. From the teleport waypoint in the east of Mount Esus, swim towards the ocean and then dive underwater.
Once underwater, you will immediately notice a giant mechanism with rotating spotlights. Your goal is to get caught in the spotlight by swimming towards it.
When you are caught, the spotlight will turn red and you will have five seconds to escape. Don’t run away and wait for the timer to expire . You will immediately be teleported to the Meropid Fortress, where you will be interrogated by Secretary Monglane.
If you enter the prison using this method, the teleportation waypoints will not appear on the world map. In order for them to appear, you will have to agree to complete an extremely long quest chain called An Unfinished Comedy .
Option 3: Underwater tunnel
Another option is to enter Meropida’s fortress through the underwater tunnel. Head to the area outlined in the image above (east of the spotlights) and swim through the tunnel . Continue forward until you reach a dead end, then go up to the ground and end up in the administration area. Once you start walking on land, you will be arrested by a guard named Galvana and taken to prison.
If you enter the prison using this method, the teleportation waypoints will not appear on the world map. In order for them to appear, you will have to agree to complete an extremely long quest chain called An Unfinished Comedy .
