Head northeast and cross the bridge before raising the lift to go up. Once you're at the upper level, wait for your Saurian to appear and follow it.

Follow your Saurian to a closed room with the second burning Flamestone. The Tepetlisaur will enter the room and collect the item but won't come out until you interact with it.


Bring the Firestone(s) back to the Altar

Use the nearby stairs and start the mechanism to move the platforms. Climb on it to get to the roof of the room. On a related note, you will also find a Pyroculus.

Once you're up, a Secret Source Automaton will appear. Quickly defeat it and collect the Exquisite Chest in another room upstairs before starting the mechanism in the room. This will open a path for you to enter the room where your Saurian is. Enter it and direct the Tepetlisarur to return to the Altar.


Collecting the burning Flamestones (3/4) and retrieving the burning Flamestone(s) on the northwestern floating island

Rotate the southwestern floating isle mechanism before going to the next island and follow your Saurian. However, once you reach the Flamestone's location, a Secret Source Automaton will appear and take the Flamestone to another island.


Catch up with the Secret Source Automaton that took the Firestone(s) away

Use the nearby Spiritsconce to transform into a Qucusaur and follow the quest navigation to enter a small room with a device in the center. Activate it and fly upwards to enter the room again from the entrance.

Meet up with the little Tepetlisaurus and activate the elevator before returning to the Altar.


Go to the upper level of the floating island in the northwest to retrieve the Firestone(s)

Head northwest to go to the edge of the bridge and call on Bona. This will rotate the bridge, and you must jump off it once you reach a good height and get to the northwest island.

Collect the Firestone and defeat the enemy before collecting the Precious Chest. Next, lower the lift and instruct the Tepetlisaur to return to the Altar. Note that the little Saurian cannot return to the Altar without the lift, so you must always adjust the lift for it to return.


Begin the Altar offering

Approach the Altar and begin the offering. This will trigger a brief cutscene and the evil dragon will steal the offerings.


Chase the evil dragon and recover the item

Indwell a Qucusaur and chase after the dragon. Dashing is highly advised since the dragon can easily leave you behind. Luckily, you won't run out of Phlogistion, so you don't have to worry about losing it. It is a pretty long chase but this will conclude The Other Side of the Sky quest in Genshin Impact.

You will get 50 Primogems for completing The Other Side of the Sky quest. Furthermore, it will trigger the Moment of Awakening quest, which is pretty short and you only have to fight the dragon.
