Strength and wit in Meropida fortress, where the Fun Pankration Competitions take place. However, the Traveler is not allowed to participate in them, so he will have to team up with weaker fighters Genevieve and Paure to train them and properly prepare them for the tournaments.
In this guide, we'll look at how to win the tournament, show a couple throwing techniques, and demonstrate to Paura the destructive power of pneumus annihilation in the quest Strength and Wits.
How to start the quest Strength and Wits
You can open the Strength and Wits task after completing the line "Unfinished Comedy".
Go down to the istrative floor of the Meropid Fortress and go past the northwestern corridor, where Paimon will start a dialogue about duels. After this, the quest will automatically appear in the quest log.
Walkthrough of the quest Strength and Wits in Genshin Impact
Two fighters want to take part in the Amusing Pankration Competition, but they are quite weak and cannot cope alone. them and act as a coach who will lead them to victory in the tournament.
Find Poiret
Go to the Ring and on the way there you will meet Genevieve and Rusimov. The host will say that the Traveler is not allowed to fight with other participants. He will also offer to team up with the inexperienced blonde to become her trainer.
Run further along the corridor and approach Poire, who is standing in the company of a guard. The man tries to persuade Goncourt to the team, but he offers to spar and look at the strength of the participants.
Talk to Rusimov
Go down to the ring and ask the host if he would be okay with giving up the floor for a trial match. Genevieve will ask you to speak up immediately if there are any comments.
Win a tournament against Goncourt
A fight will begin between three fighters, which can only be observed from the side. Click "Q" keyto use Poiret's skill and throw a slowing Cryo c**ktail at your opponent. Even if you choose not to interfere, the heroes will handle it themselves and defeat Goncourt at the last second. With your abilities you can only speed up the process.
Head to Rags and Bones
Get to the store in the southeast of the fortress's istrative floor and look for the items you need.
Break wooden boxes and return props
Deal with Goncourt's things - break boxes and explore interesting finds. To highlight breakable objects, use sense of the elements. Take the firecrackers in the top drawer.
Climb higher and destroy another container, under which the guard's spare weapon is hidden.
The last box is against the wall on the right; the search will end there.
Return to the ring and talk to Rusimov, hearing the announcement of the fight over the megaphone along the way. Tell the host that you are ready to start the battle.
Win a tournament against Cryo Skirmisher
In a duel, alternately use the skills of both fighters to challenge your opponent. Melting effect. If you lose, you will have to go through the battle again.
When the skirmisher makes a Cryo shield, remove it with Genevieve's ability using buttons "E". She will throw large firecrackers that cause Pyro damage.
Go down from the spectator seats and talk to Genevieve. Listen to a vague story about how the fighters have crossed paths before and give advice on what aspects of fighting technique should be improved.
Travel to the Erosion Rift
Move to the southern teleport of the Meropid fortress and go to the corridor in the west, from where you can get to the desired location. Follow the age further and go up several stairs.
Get to the site and wait while the students get everything ready for practice.
Show the couple throwing techniques
After that, show them your skills and proceed to the mini-test, which is given 90 seconds. You need to knock down the drives with a throw. Hold LMBto aim at the target and release the button to shoot. If you don't meet the allotted time, you can start over.
Hit 12 drives to successfully complete the stage. Each time the targets will change their positions, you can also walk along the platform rather than stand only at a designated point.
On the last wave, shoot down the remaining 5 devices and ask if everything was clear to your charges. You can stay and follow Poiret's training, but this is not necessary.
Win a tournament against Kairagi: Thunderous Ascension
Head to the Pankration Ring tomorrow from 18:00 to 22:00. If you don’t want to wait, go to the main menu and select “Time” on the left. A clock will open where you can move the hand to the desired value.
Get to the arena and talk to Rusimov, wait for the girl and start the battle.
Using the same scheme, combine the skills of both fighters, causing Melting effect. Kairagi is susceptible to both elements, so defeating him will be an easy task.
When problems arise and water starts dripping from the equipment, be sure to throw a Cryo c**ktail "Q" keyto freeze an opponent.
Find Genevieve
Catch up with the students who rushed away and find out what's going on. Catch them arguing with a stranger who claims they are cheating and faking results. Champollion is preparing advanced robots for the fight and wants to interfere with the fighters.
Head to the production site
Go down to the floor below to the production area and find out what idea Genevieve came up with.
Show Poiret the destructive power of pneumusia annihilation
Do a new workout and show how the energy effect works pneumonia. Needs to be raised quickly energy block: Pneuma and deactivate the transmission pole by simply hitting it.
Do the same on the other side until the balance in the first mechanism is disrupted again. Otherwise, try again. You can add to the squad Hydro Traveler, whose skill causes a Pneuma charge, so as not to waste time picking up a block.
Win the tournament and defeat the Meks
Head to the Pankration Ring tomorrow from 18:00 to 22:00. You can also speed up the time through the main menu.
Run to the ground floor to the fight site and talk to Rusimov to begin the final fight.
As before, hit Genevieve and Poiret with the skills buttons "Q" and "E", you will not have to perform any additional actions. Use their cooldown moves to finish the fight.
At the end, the presenter will announce that he will also enter the arena against the fighters. Throw large firecrackers and Cryo c**ktails at him to win the competition.
At the end, an angry Champollion will appear with a new flock of Meks. Now fight the robots in the ring yourself, after which the man its defeat and leaves. This will end the quest and unlock the achievement "Explosive Steel Pankration".

GOD I'M ALREADY SUFFERING FROM THIS KAIRAGI, I CAN'T DEFEAT HIM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
The fight with Kairagi is a mockery, he has HP regardless of the combination of attacks. And in the end I lose. It feels like the quest is purely for luck.
I can't beat Kairagi at all, he always has a little bit of HP left and time runs out
eh. and for some reason my age to the rift is closed. I previously did a quest with Caterpillar. and how can I get there now...
Damn, guys, could you write an approximate time of the walkthrough, so that it would be possible to calculate how many primogems in what time you can get. Because I wanted to complete the quests, but in the end I sat for three hours without getting up. And so thank you very much for the guide)).
What a stuffy quest))) Guys, thank you so much for the guide)
Always happy to help 🙂
Apparently I will never do this quest. In the first battle, the Persians simply do not keep up with the time, they don’t even have any damage. I helped and did nothing, the result is the same, they stupidly lose.
What to do? As it is said in the guide, during the fight with Goncourt I almost don’t interfere, only sometimes I throw a cryo flask and I still always get the test failed when the time runs out.
Do you defeat him during this time? Have you tried using NPC rollback skills?
what should I do? Before the last battle, I talked to Rusim and clicked ready, and the battle doesn’t start for me. It just says “win the battle”
try re-entering the game through the paymon menu and talking to him again
I can’t start the quest Paimon doesn’t say anything, he’s already walked around the entire fortress, he made an unfinished comedy a couple of days ago. What to do?
Did you go to the arena, just in case? Do you have a Risley legends quest running or some Archon quest running?
I went to the arena, and the quest was only with Navia and Furina, but as far as I know, the fortress is not included in these quests.
Have you checked for the achievement in case you've already completed this quest? I recommend writing to technical
The quest is not yet completed in the list of tasks (where is the reputation) Yes, it’s probably worth writing. Thank you
Glad to help, I hope everything will be resolved. Could you share the solution from technical later?
This is the case)) I don’t have enough coupons and I completed all the tasks and opened all the chests, I can’t buy the last sacred summoning card, what should I do?
Try writing to technical if ours didn’t help. article about coupons
The problem is with the task where you need to demonstrate Poire's destructive power..... I arrive at the location and there is only Genevieve there and there is no action. And Poiret is gone
Try re-entering the Paimon menu and write to technical
Is there any way to reset/cancel this damn quest?((
No
How the hell is it even possible to defeat cryo d*** here? He simply destroys these two bastards in one go.
Essentially spamming their skills helps everywhere
Well, it doesn’t help much :(( The cryo skirmisher demolishes them instantly as soon as he starts shooting with his cryo thing... T_T Damn gensh, there is still no mechanics for resetting/cancelling the quest.
I just can’t get past the penultimate point (even with hydro). What to do??? 0-o
Hit one pillar with the raised Pneuma, and the second with the Traveler, then you can do it on time
Poiret did not appear at the production site because his model disappeared during the age of the Risley ZL. Who knows how to fix this?
Try re-entering through the Paimon menu
I have the same problem. I've been suffering for a month
I completed the quest a long time ago and now Rusimov is standing only below, how can I solve that riddle now (
I don’t know if I need to wait a day after completing the task, but then I went up to Rusimov (he should be standing on top, on some kind of elevation.) You can offer him a fight, and for this they will give you an ordinary chest.
Also, at the very entrance to the ring (before going down on the elevator), there is a fortress guard standing next to the bottom. You can also fight with him (he will teleport you to the ring) and they will give you a regular chest 😇
very strange, I completed the quest, but there is no guard and Rusimov himself is standing below the ring ;c
Showed up, I had to wait a real day.
I've been looking for a long time for a guard who wants to fight, and you seemed to mean the actor Goncourt:-D
First, find this same Goncourt at the entrance to the ring near the hermit, then after defeating him, there will be Rusimov on a hill above the chest, talk to him and also get the chest!
For me, the task began only when I approached the stairs leading to the battles. so go a little further down the corridor, just in case
