You can use the ‘Key to a Particular Location within the Institute’ for unlocking a door in the Institute of Natural Philosophy. This door is situated beyond the underwater antechamber. It’s the same place you initially came across during the Aqueous Tidemarks quest.

Here are the steps you can follow to reach to the door:

  • Start by teleporting to the southern waypoint in the Institute of Natural Philosophy.

  • Proceed towards the door on your left, located just beyond the Tidalgas.

  • After surfacing from the water, turn right and you’ll notice an opening in the floor forming a pond of water. Dive in and go underwater.

  • Keep swimming until you come across an opening to your right.

  • Take the right and come out of the water. Now, take the flight of stairs, and you’ll find the locked door to your right.

  • Insert the “Key to Some Place in the Institute” into the mechanism beside the door to unlock it.

That concludes our guide to locate and use Key to Some Place in the Institute in Genshin Impact.
