Walkthrough of the quest Ancient Sacrifice of the Sacred Comet in Genshin Impact

The traveler will have to help Fu Jin perform the Jade Ascension ritual, restore the Adept’s strength and decipher the events of the past from the frescoes.

Return to the misty river

After infusing the Treasured Jade with the scattered energy of the Adepts, get to the surface to continue the adventure. Soon Paimon will notice that Mao has run ahead and disappeared somewhere, so you should hurry. Move southeast from the Jade Vent, towards the cave.

It turns out that the boy noticed his friend Azure and hurried to say hello. A short dialogue will take place in which the Traveler will be introduced to the mysterious inhabitant of the local mountains and left to guess. Follow Mao into the cave to continue the path.

Deal with the miasma

Inside the cave, you'll encounter miasma—anomalies found throughout the Chenyu Valley. This gas causes headaches and suffocation in humans for days, while making other creatures more ferocious and powerful. To eliminate it, you must defeat the leader of the monsters , marked by a blue spark above their head. Once you defeat the enemy, use the powers of the Disciples to interact with the source of the miasma on the withered tree. Fighting the remaining enemies is pointless—new ones will constantly appear in their place due to the anomalies.

The situation with the second miasma is the same: the leader of this wave of monsters is a Cryo Hilichurl Gunslinger, so destroy it as quickly as possible. Killing the remaining monsters is optional. Repeat the process, using the Disciples' abilities on the miasma source, and reach the third tree.

The final miasma-infected monster will be a Hydro Shamachurl, which will also need to be eliminated. A precious chest will appear as a reward for your efforts.

Explore the cave

After collecting your reward, head deeper into the cave, into an inconspicuous passage behind the chest. There you'll find another moss-covered fresco. Use the powers of the Adepts to clear the painting and reveal the full image.

Follow the golden carp

Talk to Fu Jin in the form of a golden carp and follow her to a new part of the location. The Adept will help with the movement, allowing the Traveler to walk on water with his skills.

Along the way, fight Hydro Mimic Cranes to continue on your way, and activate a teleportation point for the future. Afterwards, meet with the guardian of the Chenyu Valley in human form. The adept will talk a little about his past, after which he will again ask for help.

Prepare for the Rite of Jade Rain

In order to prepare for the Jade Blessing ritual, you need to put all the simulacra in place. You can still run on water, so moving around will not be difficult. There are only two places on the map: in the south and west of Fu Jin.

First riddle

Run to the first puzzle to the west of the large island. As you approach the simulacrum stand, you will notice a platform that appears a little to the north. Jump on it, then use the air flow to rise to the next one.

From there, use the power of the Adepts to move the third platform closer to you and cross the bridge that appears. At the end, there's a water pearl. Use the power of the Adepts on it and point the cursor slightly downwards, where the required simulacrum is located on two stone slabs.

Take it with the same ability and return to the island, returning the statue to its place by holding down the "E" key or using the carp icon in the lower right corner of the screen. After aiming, release the ability to place the monument in the desired location. A large jade simulacrum will appear in its place, ready to help you prepare the Coveted Jade.

Second riddle

The second location is southeast of the first puzzle. To retrieve the simulacra, you'll need the fairy levitating above the underwater rock. You'll need to guide her to your garden, but she won't just fly. First, examine the splashes swirling around her with the appropriate action. The fairy will fly a little further and stop again, awaiting protection from an invisible enemy.

The second time, two Hydro Mimic Crabs will emerge from the water and immediately begin attacking. Deal with them so the fairy can safely return to her perch. A simulacrum will appear behind the statue—use the Adept's power on it and return the stone owl to the nearby stand in the same way. Release the skill to place the monument, and four large simulacra will appear on the island, awaiting the jade.

Return to the large island with the teleporter and talk to Fu Jin. An unexpected obstacle to the ritual will be the Adept’s lack of strength, so first you will have to help her restore her energy with the help of a golden carp.

Go to the Adept's chambers

Use the open teleport in the Yaode Valley to quickly get to the desired location, but the passage further will be blocked by a barrier. Deal with the miasma to reach the Adept's abode and continue the quest.

Deal with the leader of the monsters - Mitachurl with a fire axe , marked with a blue glow above his head, to discover the source of the miasma and destroy it with the power of the Disciples.

The second wave of enemies is led by a Hydro Shamachurl . Defeat it and repeat the miasma cleansing procedure using the Adept abilities.

The leader of the third wave of enemies is an Anemo Hilichurl Outcast . Defeat the miasma-infested monster to destroy its source using the same method and open the passage.

For your valor, you will receive a precious chest - open it and proceed to the cave to continue the quest.

Explore clues nearby

Climb the path to the house above and examine the golden carp fresco lying nearby. It will teleport the Traveler to another location.

Explore the drawing

Go to the large destroyed painting on the wall and talk to Fu Jin. She will talk about the past, when the Lady of Medicines was still alive and about the creation of this cave during the War of the Archons. Previously, the place was used as a refuge for mere mortals.

Fu Jin will once again need help finding another golden carp. After the dialogue, the game will automatically transport the Traveler back to the fish fresco. Use the powers of the Adepts there to awaken the golden carp and continue the journey.

Explore Xuanlian Mountain

Go to Mount Xuanlian and look around to the northeast of it to record the entry in the archive.

Next, run to the mountain itself. At the foot, you'll notice water pearls and platforms. You can climb the latter first, solving the puzzle under the floating islands (it'll be useful later), or you can simply climb the mountain as a golden carp.

Dash in the right direction to get to the clot of energy and activate it to get up to the teleportation point, and then to the gazebo.

Collect Spirit Orbs

In the pavilion at the top, talk to Mao, who will suggest that in order to find the real golden carp, you need to return the pearls to the three stone fish statues.

Spiritual Sphere of Carp No. 1

The first spiritual sphere is located right at the foot of the mountain: just go down from the floating islands, where you will immediately see a riddle.

Move the jasper pin from one plaustrite to the other so that all the incense burners are level with one of the two incense tripods.

Using the power of the Adepts , summon the sacred arteries contained within the tripod and channel it through the two censers. As quickly as possible, direct the energy to the second tripod through the final, third censer before the previous ones are extinguished.

Take the Spiritual Sphere with the power of the Adepts and head off to find the next one, having first looted the precious chest that appears nearby.

Spiritual Sphere of Carp No. 2

The second stone carp statue is located to the north of the previous one. To solve the puzzle, you need to return the simulacrum to its rightful place, but the platform with the stand was flooded by a jade waterfall.

Move the jasper pin with the power of the Adepts into the left channel to raise the platform and, using the same method, move the simulacrum to its plaustrite.

The seal on the stone carp statue will unlock—move it under the jade waterfall using the power of the Disciples . The Spiritual Sphere will be imbued with the energy of the sacred spring and can also be claimed. You'll receive a rich chest as a reward.

Spiritual Sphere of Carp No. 3

Head northeast of Xuanlian Mountain, where you'll notice the last carp statue with a spirit orb and a jade waterfall nearby. Defeat all the hilichurls around the stone structure to remove the seal on it.

Use the power of the Adepts to move the statue to another platform.

After this, move the jasper pin in the same way to the mountain above the statue so that the sacred spring flows onto the pearl.

If done correctly, the Spiritual Sphere will glow and can be collected using the power of the Adepts . A rich chest will also be awarded for your efforts.

Activate the spiritual sphere with the power of the Adepts

Climb to the pavilion at the top of Mount Xuanlian and, using the power of the Disciples, return a Spiritual Realm to each of the stone carp statues. Afterward, a cutscene will trigger with Fu Jin, who will invite you to tea and reminisce once again. After the conversation, be sure to pick up the Luxurious Chest that appears behind the pavilion.

Go back and find Fu Jing

Head back to the northeastern island from the Chizhang Wall. Speak with Fu Jin, who will now have the strength to perform the Jade Blessing ritual. The fog around the islands will clear, revealing a new area on the map—the Chiwan Terrace. Once the cutscene ends, the "As If From Far Away" achievement will be completed.

Climb the sacred mountain

After the dialogue, inspect the new location, make a note in the archive and activate a clot of energy nearby. As a carp, get to the nearest teleport without any problems.

Escort Fu Jin

Follow Fu Jin, who has returned to her fish form. Along the way, deal with the miasma blocking the path.

The first wave of enemies will be led by a Geo Shamachurl —target it. Then, use the Disciples' powers on the withered tree to destroy the source of the infection and fight the Thunder Helmeted Lavachurl . Repeat the cleansing process on the second withered tree. For your efforts, you'll receive a precious chest as a reward and be free to continue your journey.

Use the clot of energy to follow the golden carp through the air and on the mountain talk to Ling Yuan, whom the boy called Azure.

Defeat the Xuanwen Beast

Remembering past disagreements, Ling Yuan will forbid Fu Jin and her friends from climbing the mountain. To demonstrate the seriousness of her intentions, she will send wards who will immediately join the battle. Defeat the Xuanwen beasts Lu-wu and Kai Ming to continue your journey.

Fly to the Chivan terrace in the form of a carp and activate another teleportation point. At the same time, inspect the area to record a record of it in the archive.

Enter the Chivan Terrace

Fu Jin will realize that the disturbed balance of soil and water is the work of Ling Yuan, who wants to destroy the Chenyu Valley. While the Adept is performing a ritual to stop his ex-girlfriend, she will ask the traveler for protection.

Help Fu Jin perform the ritual and prevent the monsters from reaching her by destroying the emerging sources of miasma with the power of the Disciples and defeating the enemies. The first wave will disappear as soon as you clear the negative energy contamination. However, you'll have to eliminate the infected Hilichurl marksmen yourself.

The third wave of enemies can also be knocked out by clearing the source of the infestation; however, the fourth wave will have to be fought again. The fifth and final wave of enemies, each with a stone Lavachurl, will also disappear after using the Adepts' power on the source of the miasma.

Calm down Ling Yuan

After the cutscene with Fu Jin, the Traveler will be transported to a dungeon where they will have to fight Ling Yuan herself, the beastmaster of the sunken Jade Kingdom. To weaken the boss, you will need to provoke elemental reactions, so be sure to have at least one character with Cryo , Hydro , Pyro , or Electro in your party . The first element is preferable, as it will also allow you to freeze the boss during one of its stages. If you don't have time to prepare, you can re-enter the dungeon by leaving it and returning to the Chiwan Terrace, then try again.

Lin Yuan can gather the power of Hydro and Anemo Adepts , boosting her attacks and generating nearby sources of miasma . These sources inflict constant damage to characters and increase enemy attack power if not destroyed in time. Therefore, it's important to be careful that Ling Yuan doesn't manage to gather them in one spot and buff herself. If you manage to destroy each miasma with your Adept power , you'll gain protection, an attack buff , and continuous healing for a short period of time, as well as the ability to resurrect all fallen characters in your party.

When an enemy concentrates the power of the Hydro Adepts , they can be frozen with a Cryo attack. Subsequently, triggering a reaction with a Shatter or Melt , Geo (or using a greatsword), or Pyro element, respectively, will temporarily disable the enemy, immobilizing them. This will provide a slight advantage, allowing you to attack unhindered.

While the boss is building up the power of the Anemo Adepts , three Wind Spirit Pearls will appear. Dispel them with Pyro , Hydro , Cryo , or Electro to paralyze Ling Yuan and achieve a similar advantage.

After defeating the Adept, a long cutscene will begin in which old friends will understand each other's motives and come to a common agreement. Ling Yuan will promise not to interfere with Fu Jin in the future to maintain the balance of soil and water in the Chenyu Valley, and will also help the local people. An adept of the golden carp will complete the Jade Blessing ritual, bringing the arteries of the earth back to normal, but will spend almost all of his strength on this. After Fu Jin leaves his friends for a well-deserved rest, Ling Yuan will ask the traveler an ambiguous question, to which there are three possible answers.

Regardless of your final decision, the Adept will be satisfied with the answer, so choose what you think is right. Afterward, you'll earn the "Song of the Ancient Shaman" achievement.

Take Mao to Qiaoying Village

Take the brave boy home to the village and share the recent events with Uncle Luo and Old Man Lu, informing them that the balance of water and soil in Chenyu Valley has been restored.
