Return to the previous waypoint and climb the harden Phlogiston to the southwest for another Pyroculus in the middle.
Ancient Sacred Mountain Pyroculus Location 11

Next, use the Pseudostar Pedestal north waypoint and complete the puzzle at the north, where you need to help the Secret Source Servant arrange the bodies of the Secret Source Dragon Idol. Once the dragon is activated, stay on top of it, and it will lead you to the next Pyroculus. The solution is to break all the Pulverites and breakable around them and defeat some enemies.
Ancient Sacred Mountain Pyroculus Location 22
Warp to the Pseudostar Pedestal south waypoint and look to the east for a Secret Source Dragon part on the edge of the mountain. Stay on top of it for a second, and the next one will appear, so you can jump on and climb it. Keep doing this until the last block leads you to the upper level. Up there, walk to the east where you can see lots of Hilichurls and a movable platform. Indwell a Tatankasaurus and push the platform from the left side to reveal a crack in the wall with a Pyroculus inside it.
After collecting all the Pyroculus in version 5.5, consisting of Atocpan and Ancient Sacred Mountain, you will gain a total of 60 Pyroculus. By offering them all to the Statue of the Seven in Genshin Impact Natlan, the current level should be Level 8, with Pyroculus 30/38.
