In Genshin Impact The Fortress of Meropide is a giant underwater prison where residents of Fontaine who commit crimes are poisoned. However, it is more of a place for exiles than a penal colony. There are no prison cells, and instead of mora, they use their own currency. In this guide we will tell you how to get to this area and what you can find in it.
How to get to The Fortress of Meropide in Genshin Impact
Of course, the first thing you will need to do is get to Fontaine itself using one of two methods to choose from. The prison itself is located in the north of the region in the Liffey District. There are several ways to get to its territory. Let's look at them all below.
The first way: according to the plot
The simplest, but at the same time the longest of them, is the passage of the main plot until you get to the mission "To the Shining of the Stars in the Deep", in which you will be “put behind bars.” Your Adventure Rank must be not lower than 40.
Let’s add that while you are going through the storyline, side missions that take place on the territory of Meropid will not be available to you. The game will warn you about this before you go to the fortress.
Second way: get caught by security
The second way is simpler - you need to go to the Eastern slope of Mon Esus, located in the north of Fontaine, and jump into the water here. Submerge and start sailing towards the huge tower with searchlights. Next, make sure that you are illuminated by one of the spotlights. Wait about 5 seconds and you will automatically find yourself inside the prison where you will be charged with trespassing. You will need to register with Monglan, after which you will be able to explore the fortress without any problems. In this case, there are no restrictions on the rank of adventures - you can sail here immediately after getting to Fontaine.
If this is your first time visiting Meropid, and you have not completed the story quests associated with it, then you will have to start one of the side quest lines. Again, the game will warn you about this in advance.
Third way: penetrate through an underwater tunnel
If you don’t want to get caught by the authorities so easily, you can swim into the pipe south of the teleportation point - it leads straight to Meropid Prison. When you surface in the Administrative District, Galvana will automatically detect you and take you to the secretary to register.
Meropid Fortress Map
The underwater prison consists of several levels, which are quite easy to get confused in, especially in the first hours of exploring it, so we decided to show all its floors and point out key objects on them.
Reception area
A small area that you will be taken to during the story mission "To the Shining of the Stars in the Deep". The only interesting object here can be considered an underground teleport.
Administrative level
The main tier of the prison, to which the fortress icon moves. This is where the coupon canteen, the Rag and Bones Shop , the entrance to Wriothesley office, and the elevators to all other levels of Meropid are located.
Barracks Zone
You can get here by taking the elevator up from the administrative level. Here is the Traveler's bed, the second teleport, the post office, the infirmary where Sijwin works, and the passage to the Erosion Channel, where you will often have to visit when completing quests.
Production area: lower level
You can get here by taking the elevator down from the administrative level. Here you will find a third teleport and your workplace, where according to the plot you will need to process parts. Some missions also take place here.
Production area: upper level
You can get here by taking a lift from the lower level of the production area. You won't find anything interesting here except for a couple of puzzles and those times when you need to get here to start or complete various tasks.
Abandoned production site
You can get here by taking a lift down from the lower level of the production area. You will have to come down here more than once to complete various quests. Here is located actuator valve, which allows you to unlock passages to warehouses with treasures, and the trunk of a geode mine, where you can also find a lot of useful things.
What can be found in the Meropid fortress
This location contains tons of different content, so it will definitely take you several days to fully explore it. Below we will indicate the main points of interest.
Tasks
In addition to the main story quests, several quest chains and individual tasks take place on the territory of the underwater prison, namely:
- Unfinished Comedy

- The Remains of the Past Day
- Reborn in the Land of Grievances
For completing them you can receive many valuable rewards, including source stones, pestilence, upgrade materials and, of course, premium coupons.
Premium Coupons
We are talking about the special currency of the Meropid fortress, for which you can purchase various goods in the Rags and Bones store and the coupon canteen. We talked in more detail about ways to earn it in separate guide.
Chests
On the territory of the prison you can find over a dozen chests of varying levels of rarity. In addition to the standard reward, many of them also contain coupons. In separate material we showed the location of all the chests in Meropida.
