Araumi
Last updated 2026-08-30
Araumi (Japanese: 荒海 Araumi) is a subarea located in Narukami Island, Inazuma.
It is a promontory at the northern point of Narukami Island, seemingly isolated from the rest of it by Mt. Yougou to the immediate south. The area is filled with the ruins of the ancient city, which extend deep beneath the earth and the surrounding waters, and which was abandoned after the Cataclysm.

Electro Monument Puzzle
There will be four nearby Electro Monuments.
- One of them will require defeating some Ruin Sentinels
- One of them requires solving a Cube Device puzzle
Once all four are activated, a chest and Thunder Sakura Bough will spawn at the bottom of a nearby well. Use the bough to summon an Electrograna, which can be used to teleport to move to a Thunder Sphere and pass through a nearby Thunder Barrier containing a Ruin Guard, chest, and Electroculus.
There is also 1 part of the Torn Page: Toki Alley Tales (Prologue) on a column near the Thunder Barrier.
Kitsune Shrine
Along the west coast of Araumi there will be a cave with some Bake-Danuki and wooden crates. Inside the cave there is also an Earth Kitsune Statue. Using the Memento Lens on it gives the following dialogue:
- Someone's Voice: "Ah, it would be wonderful if we could build a port here, and thus centralize trade with other nations in the hands of our government..."
- Someone's Voice: "O Almighty Shogun, please indulge the unworthy fancy of a mere Commissioner..."
Underground Level 1
There are 3 Earth Kitsune Statues in a well. Use the Memento Lens to unlock 3 mechanisms. Activate these mechanisms to open the passageway underground.
Much of Araumi is actually underwater; once you open it, there is a path to the Perpetual Mechanical Array and the Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates domain.
Unlock the gate to the underground requires using the Memento Lens (obtained from the quest Sacrificial Offering) on 3 Earth Kitsune Statues located next to a Thunder Sakura Bough in a well below an Electroculus. This will reveal 3 mechanisms. After activating them, a door will open to the underground.
- Underground one can find 1 part of the Torn Page: Toki Alley Tales (Prologue)
- There are 2 Seelies and a chest near one of them. Following the seelie to their courts will unlock a circular gate to the outside (north coast of Araumi).
Cube Device Puzzles
There is a Cube Device puzzle consisting of 5 cubes — 4 making a square and 1 in the center. Make the 4 outer cubes all align in the same direction as the center cube. Solving the puzzle will lower the water level nearby, so one can descend further below.
Swim through the shallow water to reach some stairs and a mechanism to unlock a gated door to the outside. Nearby there is an Old Stone Slate (#3) in a mound.
There is also another Cube Device puzzle involving 5 cubes in a line. Make them all face in the same direction. Solving this cube puzzle will further lower the water level, leading to the next underground level.
Underground Level 2
On this floor there are 3 rooms. One has a Thunder Sakura Bough. Another has a Thunder Barrier that requires a higher level of Electrogranum to unlock. And the third has 2 Ruin Guards guarding a chest.
Near the first room there is an Electro Rock Pile with some Seagrass behind it.
Beyond the third room, there are some stairs leading even further down to a door. Start the mechanism to open the door to descend to level 3.
Underground Level 3
There will be some Ruin Sentinels along the way (Ruin Scout and Ruin Defender). The passageway will lead to a huge space with a Teleport Waypoint and some ship wreckage with another Old Stone Slate (#4) nearby.
Mifune Satoshi
There is a Kairagi: Dancing Thunder guarding a chest. The Kairagi goes by the name Acting Instructor Mifune Satoshi (Iwakura Art Okuden). It will have some dialogue too:
- (Upon approach)
- Iwakura Art: Mifune Satoshi: Are we pursued by the Shogunate's lackeys, even here?
- (After defeating Mifune Satoshi)
- Iwakura Art: Mifune Satoshi: Haha... Hah... Like whistling in the wind...
Perpetual Mechanical Array Room
Continuing further leads to a large room with the Perpetual Mechanical Array boss below. On the floor above the boss, there will be a Thunder Sakura Bough and some Thunder Spheres. Using the thunder spheres to cross over to the other side.
Unlocking Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates
To unlock the domain Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates:
- Step on the panel with the Solomon's knot symbol to light it up. This will initiate a puzzle that involves stepping and lighting all of the puzzles surrounding the mechanism. After all the panels are lit, the mechanism will unlock. Activate it to open the gate. There will be a chest too.
- Inside the gate there is a similar panel-stepping puzzle with a mechanism. Complete it, and activate the mechanism to unlock the domain.

Lore
Araumi was a city that extended underground in the north of Narukami Island, and was likely built during the Archon War, as suggested by its architecture.[Note 1] Within its underground tunnels stood the mansion of Reizenbou, the Great Tengu of the Yougou Tengu.[1][2] The city remained active for centuries until the Cataclysm, when its inhabitants began to flee and were guided by Kitsune Saiguu through the subterranean passages toward safer areas.[3] After the disaster, the survivors chose not to return, and Araumi was ultimately left completely abandoned.[4][5]

Notes
- ↑ According to a researcher's notes, the architecture of the ruins on Watatsumi Island closely resembles that of structures dating back to the Archon War, and Araumi shares the same architectural style.
