Walkthrough of Archon Quests in Genshin Impact: Act 4, Chapter 5. The Masquerade of the Guilty

With the latest major update in Genshin Impact, a new volume of Archon Quests called The Masquerade of the Guilty has appeared. Players will have to learn the fate of the residents of Fontaine and the influence of the prophecy on the entire region. We have prepared a guide with a detailed walkthrough of the entire quest chain.

As usual, to access the story quests, all players will need to meet a number of mandatory conditions:

After meeting all the above conditions, the quest will become available in the quest log. You just need to go to the Archon Quests tab, select the quest, and click Track Objective.

Head to the barracks where you recently investigated Childe's case. Officially, the heroes cannot leave this area, so you will first need to get permission. Reach the dormitory and watch a short cutscene, after which the chapter will begin.

Descend to the lower level and find Monglan. She will give a special card for exiting the fortress, which needs to be returned to Risley. The guy is waiting in his office.

Use fast travel to the Hydro Archon Statue in the Court of Fontaine, then enter the Palace. Neuvillette will ask you to wait, after which the hero can share his dream with him. The judge will ask you to go to Poisson to Navia without him.

If you have been to the village of Poisson before, use the teleport to quickly get there. When you arrive, you will meet Navia's henchmen. The girl herself will be waiting for you by the ship. After the dialogue, you will receive the achievement Cry of the Seagulls in the Wonders of the World section.

You need to leave the village and go to the surface. You can use the nearest teleport on the hill, then glide down. After a lengthy cutscene with Navia and the Servant, the quest will end.

Rewards:

Your next goal is located in the southern part of Mount Mon Atoneki. Upon arrival, you will see the entrance to the ruins mentioned by the Servant in the last scene. Navia will suggest entering — choose a combat-ready team and head inside.

This dungeon has a restriction: you cannot climb most walls, so each fall will return you to the starting position. Follow the marker, reach the first gates of objection, and deal with a small group of enemies.

Continue running towards the marker. When the floor collapses, kill a few hilichurls, and inspect the luxurious chest. After the cutscene with Navia, walk along the fallen column and climb the planks. Be careful and don't linger, as they will collapse after a while.

At the next gates of rebirth, run forward across the bridge. Part of it will start collapsing, so quickly make your way to the other side. Immediately after this, a lengthy video will play, in which Navia falls into the water and appears in a parallel world. You cannot influence the plot, so just watch until the end to continue exploring the ruins.

Immediately after the cutscene, you will receive the achievement Love is Destructive in the Wonders of the World section.

Enter the tower and deal with the enemy. Now you need to climb the stairs and wooden planks upwards. Both the stairs and planks will be collapsing. After the second flight, do not miss the luxurious chest — it is located right in front of the entrance to the tower.

Once you get rid of the group of enemies, interact with the device to lower the lift. Upon reaching the prophecy slabs, you will obtain new evidence that will be needed later. The dungeon will be completed, and you can inspect the precious chest before exiting.

Leaving the dungeon, Navia and Neuvillette will depart, and the protagonist with Paimon will head to the Spin-de-Rosula base in Flev Sandr. There will be a few more lengthy dialogues, after which the quest will be completed.

Rewards:

Head to the Palace and enter Neuvillette's office. You will see a scene where the judge is trying to find out details about the prophecy from Furina. The Archon will refuse to talk, so Neuvillette will suggest organizing a trial.

Watch a few more scenes, then head to the Spin-de-Rosula base. There you will meet Witch N and obtain another piece of evidence.

Teleport to the surface of the city of Cour-de-Fontaine and read the article in the newspaper. At the Debor Hotel, you will be greeted by Sedena, and after the meal, you can leave the building.

Note: If you have not previously completed the world quest Interview at the 'Steam Bird', you will not be able to continue the storyline quests.

All that remains is to talk to Charlotte and Isidora at the Spin-de-Rosula base. After this, the quest will be completed.

Rewards:

To put Neuvillette's plan into action, you will first have to find Furina in Poisson. Hiding, the Archon will begin telling you about her searches and attempts to control the sea level. At this time, the heroes will find themselves in a court trial at the theater. It is not visible now, but you will receive the achievement Scene of Fate in the Wonders of the World section.

During Furina's interrogation, you need to choose the arguments:

After this, watch several in-engine videos that reveal the true meaning of the prophecy and information about the Hydro Archon.

Furina will refuse to talk, so you need to turn off three spotlights next to her. When turning off two of them, the hero will be attacked by Echo-less Screams. After doing this, control Furina and watch the videos.

It is not necessary to kill the giant whale — you just need to deal enough damage to move it to the next phase. When it swallows the hero, it will appear in a different form. Fight it and watch a few more cutscenes. In addition to the rewards, you will receive the achievement For a Bright Future in the Wonders of the World section.

Rewards:

In this quest, you need to meet with all your friends, then talk to Charlotte, Lyney, Lynette, Freminet, and Arlecchino at the Romarin Port. To complete the quest, return to the Epiclese Opera House and ask Neuvillette a few questions. You will also receive the achievement Masquerade of the Guilty in the Wonders of the World section.

Rewards:
