Chapter 1: Act 2 - Farewell, the Archaic Lord in Genshin Impact continues your journey in Liyue, focusing on organizing the funeral rites for Rex Lapis while unraveling the mysteries surrounding his supposed death. Here's a detailed walkthrough:
Prerequisites
You must reach Adventure Rank 25 and complete Chapter 1: Act 1 - Of The Land Amidst Monoliths.
Quest 1: An Organization Known as Wangsheng
1.Return to the Northland Bank in Liyue Harbor. Speak with Ekaterina, who directs you to meet Childe outside the restaurant.
2.Childe introduces you to Zhongli, a consultant from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Zhongli discusses the importance of a proper farewell for Rex Lapis, initiating the preparations for the funeral rites.
Quest 2: Moonfinger
1.Here you must gather a few materials:
2.Visit the Jade Mystery shop in Liyue Harbor. Inspect three samples of jade with Zhongli, choosing one based on its Pyro affinity. Zhongli tries to buy all three, but you'll choose one.
3.Meet Qiqi at Bubu Pharmacy. She asks for coconut milk, which you'll fetch from Granny Shan at Wanmin Restaurant. Return to Qiqi, and she'll give you the Everlasting Incense.
Quest 3: Three Poignant Perfumes
In this quest you must prepare perfumes:
1.Purchase Silk Flowers from Bolai under the pier in Liyue Harbor. He gives them to you for free.
2.With the flowers, you need to test the scent on the following NPCs around Liyue:
•Lan outside the Adventurer's Guild.
•Jifang in the restaurant.
•Jiayi at Qingce Village.
Quest 4: The Realm Within
Zhongli sends you to Madame Ping in Yujing Terrace. She reveals that the bell is in her teapot, which turns out to be a domain entrance. Navigate through the domain "Lost Treasure of the Qingce Hermit" to retrieve the Cleansing Bell.
Quest 5: Downtown
1.Zhongli needs kites for the funeral rites, but you also need to recruit workers. Childe gives you 50,000 Mora to negotiate with the following workers:
•Tic at the dock.
•Tac at the restaurant.
•Toe near the city wall.
2.Bargain with each of the above NPCs. They'll accept 5,000 Mora each or less if you're persuasive.
Quest 6: Guizhong
Head to the Guizhong Ballista site. Here, you'll defend the Ballista from the Treasure Hoarders, which is crucial for the Rite of Parting. Use the Ballista to defeat the enemies.
Quest 7: Zhongli's Treat
1.Meet Zhongli at Third-Round Knockout after 6 PM. He tells stories and gives you more insights into Liyue's culture and history.
2.Ganyu delivers an invitation to meet Ningguang at the Jade Chamber, but this is more of a setup for the next act and doesn't require immediate action.
Conclusion
After these preparations, the Rite of Parting will proceed, but Childe's true intentions come to light. He plans to summon Osial, the Overlord of the Vortex, leading into the events of Chapter 1: Act 3 A New Star Approaches.
Additional Tips:
•Exploration: While completing these quests, explore Liyue to find hidden chests, Geoculus, and engage in side quests for additional rewards and story.
•Character Interaction: Use this time to get to know Zhongli better if you haven't already, as his character quest offers deep insight into his history and Liyue's lore.
•Combat Preparation: Make sure your team is ready for combat, especially when defending the Guizhong Ballista or during any unexpected encounters.
