Walkthrough of the quest Butterfly that flies quietly through the valley in Genshin Impact
Listen to the request of the carefree simulacrum guarding the Yaode Valley, and agree to help him catch the butterflies. Drive the insects into their pots to, as the spirit says, prepare for the process of reviving the Immortal Tree.
Catch the butterflies
After talking with the simulacrum, approach it to scare away the butterfly sitting on the statue. Chase it away again and wait until the insect reaches its jar. As a reward for this, you will receive a small gift in the form of an ordinary chest.
Catch butterflies in a medicine jar
In the area marked with the simulacrum, you have to find five butterflies, each of which appears only after ing a short test. Thus, you have to go through:
- Riddle with mason jars for medicine.
- Butterfly catching test.
- A puzzle with a carefree simulacrum.
- Race against the clock.
- Combat test.
Riddle with mason jars for medicine
The first test is located in a small room in the southern part of the cave. Go down into the depression to find a large sealed cauldron with the first butterfly hidden inside. Find a stone medicine jar next to the container and lift it using the power of the Adepts.
Opposite the cauldron with the butterfly, find a similar blocked vessel and place the found jar on the platform in front of it. To do this, hold down the Adept power skill and aim at the desired location, then release the ability button.
Pick up another jar inside and move it to one of the platforms next to the large cauldron. Then move the second item into the remaining space. The barrier will collapse, after which you can climb inside and scare away the butterfly.
The insect will go to the desired container on its own, leaving a reward in the form of a rich chest.
Butterfly catching test
On the road near the southern wall of the cave you can find the second test. Approach the small monument depicting a medicine bottle and start the race by selecting the function "Catch butterflies!".
To complete the challenge, find and collect four small insects hidden nearby. The first butterfly is located at a similar stone monument, the second is near the stalagmites, the third is inside the cauldron, and the last one has climbed to the top of the stone growth.
A puzzle with a light-hearted simulacrum
In the gorge blocking the road, you can find a figurine of a carefree simulacrum. Take it, using the Adept's powers to trigger another challenge. Despite the spirit's instructions, “I must be placed between the stones, like a butterfly on a stalagmite...”, place the statue on an illuminated square platform.
Then, despite the monument's clue, which says “Let me tell you a secret! While I, like a butterfly, sit on a stalagmite...", climb up yourself to the top of the nearest stalagmite with any character.
The action will summon another butterfly from the mural on the wall, which will leave another rich chest as a small reward.
Time trial
Near the place where you met the carefree simulacrum, you can find a monument with a test. In a limited amount of time, collect 18 Geo particles using special mechanics.
Attract the golden carp mark first and then target another cluster of sacred fish. Enter the flow by activating it yourself.
At the very ceiling, the movement will end, and the character will begin to fall down. Have time to open the glider and be attracted to the mark in the air to collect the remaining particles and fly into a large jar. Inside, another butterfly will be waiting with a reward in the form of a rich chest.
Combat test
The final test is in a small room in the northern part of the cave. Fly across the gap to reach the rest of the road and destroy the web blocking the path by blowing up the Pyro Barrels.
Once inside, you will find several more barrels of explosives and many boxes. Destroy all the objects in the room to summon a squad of enemies, defeating whom will complete the challenge.
At the end of the battle, the last butterfly and a rich chest as a reward will appear nearby. Return and talk to the sacred simulacrum at the entrance to the cave to report the completion of the task.
Explore the ancient tree
As the simulacrum promised, after collecting all the butterflies, the withered tree in the center of the cave will be reborn. Climb onto it and examine the highlighted point to collect Ancient tree branch. For restoring the tree, you will receive an additional reward in the form of a luxurious chest that will appear at the roots.
Return to the Adept's chambers
You can get to the Adept’s chambers on your own by going to the cave from the teleportation point in the valley, if you have already cleared the miasma and opened the barrier, or you can use fast travel in the form of butterflies flying over the water. Swim up to the insect cluster and select "Research"to go straight to the chambers.
Find the medicine bottle that the sacred simulacrum spoke about
Once in the cave, examine the destroyed vessel, over which bright butterflies are circling. Select "Examine the medicine bottle" and activate the previously found one on it Ancient tree branch.
By reviving the tree sprout from the vessel, you will remove the barrier from the secret room in the cave. Follow the marker that appears and explore the hidden vault to find clues.
Inside the small room you will find another luxurious chest, which contains 20 Curiosities of Li Yue. Examine any of the ancient texts lying on the bookshelves to complete the task.
The secret is in the corner of the flower field
After opening the secret vault, you can pick up an additional reward from the Adept’s chambers. On the path, find and take away the carefree simulacrum using the power of the Adept. If you have completed the quest before Ancient victim of the Sacred Comet, the figurine will stand at the table upstairs.
Place the found figurine on the glowing platform in the room with bookshelves. To do this, hold down the ability key and aim at the tile.
Once in place, the sacred simulacrum will say: “I’ll share one secret... In the corner of the flower field I buried some pretty cute little things... If you don’t disdain, they will be yours...”. To search for hidden treasures, go to the clearing in the cave. Leave the room and go to the rocks under the wooden platform. At the glowing spark you can choose an option "Dig".
