Primal Beam

Last updated 2026-01-07

Primal Beams are an exploration mechanic in Great Red Sand, Sumeru found in the Ruins of King Deshret.

There are a combination of mechanisms that transmit Primal Beams, including Everlight Cells.

Sometimes beams can be blocked by walls and Obscuring Cells can cause them to become transparent to allow the beam to pass through.
