Walkthrough Quest Notes on the Story in Genshin Impact
Kirara reveals that she needs to do some investigation. Out of curiosity, together with Paimon, help the girl and, as part of the test, solve several puzzles, as well as find evidence and oppose the detective.
Follow Kirara to the village
Then follow Kirara until you reach a residential building located on the second tier of the location, to the left of the hut, half submerged in the ground.
Explore the path ahead
Listen to the “story” to the end to get the following clue: “The path on the left exuded an enchanting aroma, as if it wanted to say: “I will lead you to wealth and glory!” Then, from your starting position, go in a northerly direction: move in a straight line until you come across a descent into a cave, and glide into the underground area.
Soon you will stop at a small pond. The narrator's monologue will be interrupted by Kirara's frightened scream. The further path is blocked by an obstacle: listen to the story so that the gate will rise and clear the age to the next part of the dungeon.
Explore the Future Abode of the Marquis
In the next part of the area, go towards the three stone thrones forming a semicircle. There will be a note on a pedestal located in the center of the hall "Union of Witnesses" - read the text by listening to Boborano.
Here you can interact with each throne. If you sit down on the one with the peach-colored viscous substance on it, watch an additional dialogue cutscene. The action itself, in turn, will not affect the completion of the mission in any way.
Remove the great mechanical key
After you have read the text on the “Writers' Union” reading item, go up one level, to the next stone pedestal. You will find on it mechanical key, which Kappett will additionally talk about.
Approach the object and use the “Pull” active action. You won't be able to pull out the key right away: the narrator will note that you need to attack it first. Hit the item repeatedly with a normal attack until the Pull action changes to "Pull harder". This will allow you to pick up the quest item “Ancient Mechanical Key”, which will come in handy more than once later.
Three wooden men will enter the hall. Talk to the trio from the Future Abode of the Marquis by going down to them, and the strangers will introduce themselves as keepers of history from the three great clans of Simulanka. According to their story, they had been waiting for a long time for a person capable of extracting the ancient key. In their opinion, it is he who should help them find out some historical secret of the fairy-tale world.
Travel to the sacred site of the Kappet clan
After the dialogue in the Future Abode of the Marquis, those gathered will automatically be transported to a place that Kappet will call “sacred” for his clan. Defeat the enemies lurking nearby to unlock the pedestal for the Mechanical Key. The little people will thank you for your help and explain what needs to be done next.
Kappet will display his clan's emblem, the Form of Courage, which features a tower. The dots and lines drawn on top of the figure indicate the correct location of the pillars of the oracle, which will be adjusted next.
Complete the drawing of the pillars of the oracle
After finishing the dialogue, insert the great mechanical key into the pedestal and hit it several times to raise the oracle pillar. By stretching the thread between the columns that appear, you have to complete the drawing of the pillars of the oracle in the sacred place of the Kappet clan.
Kappet will ask you to connect the lines to make a family crest. Starting from the figure drawn on the Form of Courage, recreate a similar pattern. To do this, stand near the post to which you need to draw a line, and, looking towards the end of the rope, use a special skill by activating it in the lower right corner of the screen.
Pull the thread in the manner shown in the image above to complete the puzzle. Read the true story of the Bravery Clan, recovered from a rich chest that appeared near the riddle.

Travel to the sacred site of the Boborano clan
The second clan’s special place is located almost in the center of the Constellation Capital. Approach the hut with the round door and talk to those gathered. To gain access to local relics, you will first need to unlock the gate by answering three questions from the Voice from behind the door.

Travel to the sacred site of the Albizzi clan
The seat of the last clan is also located in the Constellation Capital, near Boborano. Walk across the bridge, following the quest marker, until you reach an area guarded by guards.
Find the pedestal for the great mechanical key
You won't be able to get to the pedestal directly. To get around the guards, you will have to look for other ways. You can follow the narrator's prompts and go around on the left using the yellow arrows, or climb the boxes on the right yourself.
You can see the last clue on the spot. The form of empathy will be dirty, making it impossible to see the entire pattern.
Complete the drawing of the pillars of the oracle
Insert the key into the pedestal and hit it several times to raise the oracle pillars. Afterwards, destroy the crates next to the pillars to reveal two more puzzle pieces and complete the design of the oracle pillars at the Albizzi Clan's sacred site.
Stand in the far corner of the playing field and recreate the spiral pattern. Then return to the Great Mechanical Key pedestal and collect the final reward from the rich chest. Read the true story of the Empathy Clan to come to the conclusion that all points of view were correct.

Leave the Empathy Clan's sacred site as soon as possible
The actions of those gathered will attract the attention of the guards. A bell will ring, signaling that all the soldiers are going in search of violators. Following the prompt "Get out of here!", sneak out and go to the indicated location, climbing onto the boxes nearby. Go down from the wall onto the bridge and run away from the giant guards who have begun the pursuit.
The race is complicated by puddles of glue spilled on the bridge, as well as other obstacles. Avoid orange spots on the ground so as not to slow down your running speed.
In the middle of the path, use magic threads to by the obstacle on the floating platforms on the left. At the end of the bridge, talk to everyone and agree to meet later.
If you get caught by a big soldier, you will have to start your escape all over again.
Video walkthrough of the escape:
Wait until the next morning (after 08:00) by using the time rewind in the Paimon menu or doing other things in Simulank.
Head to Mayatnikovy Lane
The next day, following the narrator's prompts, go to Pendulum Lane, located in the northern part of the Constellation Capital. Talk to everyone gathered on the street.
Activate the clockwork pedestal and discover the truth
To find out the details of the attack on Kappet, use the clockwork pedestal standing nearby. Get closer to him and hit him. Rewind time and watch a replay of past events to find out the order of what happened.
Find suspicious places and evidence
To find out who is behind the attack on the paper man, look for clues nearby. In total, you will be able to find six clues in the area:
- An unusual pickaxe behind a large box near the attack site.
- One of the guards will tell you that he lost his spear after throwing it during an alarm.
- The spear the guard spoke about will be found at the top of the stairs behind the soldiers.
- Further down the street you will find a shop owner who will tell you more about the features of the found pickaxe.
- At the top of the stairs next to the store, you will meet the owner of the grocery store. The little man will tell you that he lost one magnifying potion.
- The Lost Magnifying Potion will be located next to the grocery store, behind the lamppost.
Talk to Paimon and Kirara and try to determine what weapon was used to commit the crime
Return to the crime scene and discuss with Kirara everything that was found in the alley. Those gathered will assume that Cappet was hit with one of three objects.
Kirara will ask the Traveler the question “Let's assume that the attacker used one of these items as a weapon. But which one? You can choose any of three options, the mission will continue only after the correct one:
- Enlargement potion.
- Guard's Spear.
- Kirk. - correct answer.
Activate the clockwork pedestal and see again what really happened
Return the pickaxe to its place and start rewinding time again using the clockwork pedestal. During the reconstruction of events, you learn that the attacker was the “detective” himself. The attacker will not give in so easily and will run away from those gathered.
Capture the Villain: Go up against the Detective
Following the prompt, first climb onto the crates by long pressing Kirara's elemental skill. Chase the fugitive until you come across an abyss. Restore the magic thread by stretching it between the two pillars and move to the platforms opposite. Use Kirara's ability to climb up the wall again.
Jump down and then run across the bridge, avoiding the glue puddles. Climb the wall again to try to catch up with the "detective".
Restore another magic thread by waiting for the right moment when both pendulums are on either side of the rope. Run after the attacker along the floating platforms.
A large number of obstacles will appear on the way in the form of glue puddles, fences and boxes. Avoid them and run forward along the platforms as any hero until they disappear. Using Kirara's skill, climb up the wall and catch up with the villain pretending to be a detective. Talk to the Storyteller so that he its to what he did and agrees to be punished.
