After completing the Genshin Impact world quest “The Phaethons’ Syrtos,” you’ll find seven sunchildren around Evernight Temple. These ghost kids aren’t part of a formal quest, but you’ll get a five Primogems for finding them all. Our Genshin Impact guide maps out where to find all seven sunchildren.

Finding all seven children rewards you with the achievement “The Children of God Shall Dance.”

Once you find and talk to each kid, they’ll disappear. They also only appear during Evernight. We’ve listed the children and their locations below. The order you find them does not matter.

Isumenasu

Isumenasu will originally be blocked off by an Evernight gate, if you haven’t grabbed the chest inside the room they’re in.

To open up the gate, go grab the nearby essence by the Place of Essence Worship, and turn it to Whitenight using the mechanism above the room. Run over to the pedestal with the Evernight Essence to activate a temporary triangle mechanism. Hit it to grab the treasure. If you turn it back to Evernight, there won’t be a wall anymore.
