Chapter 1: Act 3 - A New Star Approaches in Genshin Impact continues your journey in Liyue, focusing on the aftermath of the confrontation with Childe and the true nature of Rex Lapis's involvement in recent events. Here's a detailed walkthrough:
Prerequisites
You must reach Adventure Rank 25 Adventure Rank 35 and complete Chapter 1: Act 2 - Farewell, the Archaic Lord.
Quest 1: A New Star Approaches
1.Ningguang invites you to the Jade Chamber for a meeting. Use the elevator from Liyue Harbor to get there. Discuss the recent events with Rex Lapis, Childe, and the future of Liyue.
2.Head to the Golden House in Liyue Harbor, where you'll investigate the aftermath of the battle, looking for any evidence or clues about Childe's plans or Rex Lapis's involvement.
3.After the meeting, return to Liyue Harbor to continue investigating or to follow up on leads provided by Ningguang or Zhongli.
Quest 2: Turning Point
1.Zhongli reveals more about the situation, including his identity as Rex Lapis. This meeting often takes place at a location significant to the lore, like near the Statue of the Seven or at a place where they discuss Liyue's future.
2.Childe, now revealed to be Tartaglia, one of the Fatui Harbingers, confronts you again. This might lead to a battle or a tense negotiation where you can either fight or talk him down, depending on the context.
3.Return to Ningguang at the Jade Chamber to discuss the outcomes of your investigation, your encounter with Childe, and to plan for Liyue's governance without Rex Lapis's divine intervention.
Quest 3: The Rising Star
1.Explore Liyue further, perhaps revisiting some of the locations where you met the adepti or others involved in the story. This part might involve resolving any remaining issues or threats left by the Fatui.
2.There's often a gathering or a series of discussions with key figures in Liyue, discussing the transition of power, the role of the adepti, and the establishment of a new era in Liyue without divine oversight.
3.Zhongli, now openly Rex Lapis, might give you a final task or a philosophical discussion about his decision to step back, emphasizing themes of trust in humanity and the passage of time.
Quest 4: Lantern Rite Preparations (Optional)
Although not directly part of the narrative, completing this act often coincides with the timing of the Lantern Rite festival in Liyue, where you can engage in additional quests related to the festival, further deepening your bond with the region and its characters.
