With the update 4.1, which is dedicated to the third anniversary of Genshin Impact, two new Archon story quests have appeared in the game. One of them is To the Radiance of Stars in the Depth. In this guide, we will describe all available quests and also explain how to gather all clues and evidence.
To do this, you need to meet the following requirements:
If all conditions are met, the quest will be available automatically. You just need to open the task journal (key J on PC), go to the Archon Quests section, and click Track Objective.
You need to move to the underground area of the city of Court of Fontaine. Previously, we already explained how to activate the teleport in this area. In the previous update, it wasn't particularly needed, but now you need to go there.
After the dialogue, return to the Hydro Archon Statue in the city and enter the Palace of Mermonia. Here you will meet a new character named Arlecchino. Leave the building and enter the nearest café, where you will have to listen to Paimon's monologue and meet Charlotte.
Now you need to visit the Elyques opera house and meet Neuvillette. After the cutscene, an elevator will become available — jump to it and activate.
After a lengthy video, the quest will be completed, and you will receive the achievement Aquarium Visitor.
Rewards:
Return to the elevator and descend even lower. At the corner, you will meet several newcomers and also be able to take a photo for your collection. Risley will take you to Ring and tell his story, after which you need to use the elevator and reach the barracks. Here, don't forget to activate the teleport.
Meet the elder sister and descend to the coupon canteen. After several lengthy dialogues, use the elevator again — here the Production Site location will open. You will receive a new task: process several parts with the forging device.
Tips:
In the new task, an additional objective will be available. Hold the V key to open the menu and track it.
After completing the trial, you will meet a man who will tell a story about a worker. This clue will help in the investigation. Also, a new point will appear in the objectives Ask Grenville to work without a break during the morning shift.
When the third working day ends, the hero and Paimon will go to the canteen, but instead of free food, they will receive the evidence Strange Meat. You will have to find additional clues to figure out what happened.
When you complete the previous points, run to the recreation room. On the way, you will see research notes right on the floor and receive the evidence Research on Melusine Characteristics.
Head to the neighboring barracks and go to sleep. If you have talked to all the described characters, at this stage you should have at least 3300 coupons.
In the morning, the objective will update — you will have to go to Ring and look for information there. You can do this after the work shift or pay 400 coupons to skip a day of work.
Talk to Collins and pay 300 coupons. This will unlock the pankration trial.
Tips:
If by this moment you have earned more than 3000 coupons, you can immediately return to Collins. Otherwise, you will have to earn a bit more at the production site.
Having done this, in the morning you will receive a package with the evidence Strange Blood-Colored Liquid. You will have to inspect the fortress again in search of clues:
Having done this, return to the canteen and choose further actions. We recommend going to the production site if you have few coupons. In any case, Paimon will remind you of the strange package, and the objectives of the stage will be completed.
Rewards:
Descending to the middle level of the fortress, you will notice that there are far fewer people here today than usual. Interact with a guy named Vidoc. In his place, three people will appear — Poirier, Alexis, and Leonid. They will not help much, but you will be able to go up to the barracks and talk to the guard.
Run to the pipes, but beware of the guards. Wait until the far guard turns away, then proceed further.
Climb into one of the pipes, where you will meet the familiar trio. The guys will explain that they gather here to cover up the traces of the missing Tartaglia. At this point, the task will be completed, and the player will receive the achievement To the Radiance of Stars in the Depth in the Wonders of the World section.
However, the story will not end there, as the investigation is not over. A new volume Approaching Catastrophe: Volume 4, Chapter 4 will begin.
