Unexpected guest
Near the stone bridge, which is located opposite the waypoint in the north of the southwestern part of the Rift, stands Yan Fei. Start a dialogue. The girl will ask you not to tell anyone that the traveler and Paimon saw her and leave.
Then Paimon will share his thoughts about the legal consultant's suspicious business trip. Itto and Cookie Shinobuwho are interested in how to find Yan Fei. The traveler will give them the wrong coordinates.
Go deeper into the rift
After the Inazuma friends leave, Paimon will offer to investigate the hole under the pillar. Head southwest and drop down to Yan Fei or the yellow marker. A dialogue will automatically begin, during which Ye lan, Itto and Cookie Shinobu. The heroes will quarrel, and a strong earthquake will stop the fight. As a result, the guys will fall to the bottom of the Rift.
Head to Ye Lan
Ye Lan will notice the road in one of the passages. Move forward through the tunnel to the dungeon. After a short cut-scene, the second stage of the quest will begin.
Underground maze: how to pass the Dance of the Cranes
Enter the dungeon and form a squad. For faster and easier passage take Hydro character, as the dungeon is filled with Pyro monsters. The main goal is to find a way out to the outside world.
Walkthrough of the dungeon Dance of the Cranes
To the right of the entrance is the second location, but it is impossible to get into it because of the barrier. Rotate your devicenext to it until a ladder appears. Go down, defeat the slimes and activate the mechanism again.
Climb the steps and turn right. Fight the monsters, take the chest and turn the mechanism three times.
A passage will open to the first location, where you need to flip the middle building. There, destroy the enemies again (there will be 2 waves) and activate the ladder.
Climb up to the final challenge. After defeating the Geovishaps, a precious chest and a portal will appear through which you can exit.
Outside, the heroes realize that they are in the same place they came from. Trying to separate didn't help, Xiao didn't hear the Traveler's call for the first time. Even Usi (Itto the bull) didn't find the way out, and the hole from above disappeared.
Talk to the rest
The guys are forced to linger in a strange cave, talk to them. Crimson oni and his assistant are roasting a violet melon to gain strength (just opposite gg). Consultant Li Yue a little to the left is trying not to lose heart, but Ye Lan in a nearby cave promises to solve the problem. After talking with friends, the second stage will end and unlocks the Kingdom of Lies and Strife challenge.
Danger is everywhere
To proceed to the third stage, wait until the next day or rewind time in the game menu.
On the second day, Yan Fei will notice that their physical condition does not change. Nobody feels hungry or thirsty. There is no fatigue from work, but rest does not give strength either. Moreover, everyone is sure that they spent a different amount of time here, someone for a day, and someone for twenty. Will drive the heroes away from the terrible thoughts about the strangeness of what is happening Ye Lan. The girl will report that she has found a new path behind the stone. Continue exploring, moving further along the tunnel, until you run into a dungeon.
Walkthrough of the dungeon City of Hidden Runes
Enter the dungeon and form a squad. It is advisable to take Geo characters, as they will better deal with the monsters that are waiting inside. To complete the City of Hidden Runes dungeon, you need to solve puzzles by matching the colors and images of the runes on 4 platforms.
To go to the selected island, touch the portal opposite.
Solving the purple rune puzzle
Stand on the runes that are circled on the screen below (any order). Be careful, because if the character steps on the wrong rune, he will take damage.
After solving the puzzle, the images on the slabs will disappear and a Stone Lavachurl will appear. Defeat him to unlock Light Shapers, which will activate runes on the ceiling.
Interact with the mechanisms by aiming the beams at the runes of the corresponding color using the control panel at the bottom of the screen. When done, return to the original platform.
Solving the blue rune puzzle
Click on the slabs as shown in the image. To get to the central rune on the right side, jump over the incorrect inscriptions or go from an open corner. If you did everything right, 3 Geovishap cubs will appear, fight them and highlight the runes from above with the help of devices.
Solving the puzzle with yellow runes
Similarly to the previous puzzles, we activate the plates on the ground and ceiling. This time, the battle will have to be fought with three Mitachurls with a stone shield.
Solving the green rune puzzle
On each side, step on the rune shown in the screenshot. Two Ancient Geovishaps will appear, which have absorbed Cryo and Pyro elements. Defeat them and aim the beams at the images with the Light Sculptor one more time.
Explore the mysterious gates
After solving all the puzzles, a video will play, where the runes on the original site will light up. Paimon will pay attention to the resulting hole in the center of one of the platforms. Move there. The next cutscene will automatically start. The group will encounter an illusion of a lost Adept, who will disappear immediately after the warning. Cookie decides that the only way out can be found in the breach.
Once in the pool in the cave, swim to the shore and talk to Itto about the secret door. The guys will take turns entering, and the room will reproduce their fears each time. When the Traveler's turn comes, the door will close.
To leave this place, stand in the center of the highlighted figure and inspect it. The floor will fail, and the traveler will be at the starting point. Swim to friends who are already exhausted and offer to return to the camp.
Discuss what happened with the guys and go into the tunnel to Yan Fei. The consultant will conclude that they are in a place of Chaos and will find another secret passage. Follow it to contact Xiao (turn right twice). A space gap will appear at the end of the path. Through it, Xiao will get to the Traveler and Yan Fei. The girls will notice serious wounds and take the Adept to the camp.
After leaving Xiao to rest, go to the tunnel and talk to Ye Lan (on the left at the entrance), who will tell you about her business in the Rift and research on past times. After listening to the story, talk to each member of the group again. This will complete the third stage.
End of the Road
When the Adept came to his senses, he offered to try to break through the gap in space so that the rest could get out into the outside world. Ye Lan is against such self-sacrifice, since Xiao will have to stay inside to maintain the passage.
No one wants to go to extreme actions that make sacrifices, especially Itto. He can't stand discord within the team. And while the heroes argue, Oni brings the Demon Hunter's plan to life by opening a new passage in the wall with a powerful blow.
Passage of the dungeon Kingdom of insidious illusions
Yan Fei will then cast a protective spell on the area where Cookie is watching over the unconscious boss and invite the Traveler to go in search of the treasure from the will. Go through the tunnel and enter the dungeon.
After entering, a cut-scene will begin, where the consultant will notice a huge Mystic Compass and Treasure Thieves. A battle will begin, during which they will be given the opportunity to fight for Yan Fei.
After the battle, turn right and take the first part of the diary. Then go to the compass (it lies opposite) and turn the arrow forward once. A new passage is activated, go through the gate and the stone bridge behind it. Fatui will appear in the location. Defeat them with a trial team of Yan Fei and Ye Lan.
After defeating the enemies, take the second page behind the cart in front of the smaller version of the compass. Turn the arrow back and go through the portal.
Once in the past, you can see how the tree, which previously prevented moving forward, has become a sprout. Hit him with any attack, turn the arrow forward all the way and run through the portal again.
The sand now covers a smaller portion of the disk, allowing you to travel farther into the future. Turn the disk forward until it stops and go through the gate again.
The girls will be in a new place. Then Xiao will join them and the battle with Bosacius will begin, where the Demon Hunter will be given as a trial character (the enemy does not have a life bar, so you don’t need to attack the illusion, just dodge attacks).
The adept will talk about the sad fate of Bosatius and say that if they do not get out of this place as soon as possible, they will suffer the same fate. When the dialogue ends, the disk will be behind bars. To open it, go through the portal, but before that, take the third part of the note from the rail.
Turn the lever and run through the dimensional gate without changing the position of the compass. Kill the spider, rewind time all the way and run through the portal.
The company will read the records of the Millelites lost in these places and become closer to unraveling. Then the last rune will light up, point the arrow at it and enter the new space.
The heroes will find themselves in the Abyss, and the Traveler will see a brother / sister. Approach it and inspect the Mystic Compass. Apparently, this is an artifact that belongs to the Ye Lan family. She decides to study it and offers to return to the camp. Take the chest and leave the dungeon.
A light in the end of a tunnel
At the camp, Ye Lan will show more notes about the relative, and Yan Fei will have a clue about how to get out. Upon completion of the dialogue, go to Itto and Kuki. When all the heroes are together, a cut-scene will begin, during which they will be able to get out.
After the heroes go about their business, Xiao will ask the Traveler to go with him to the place where the memories of the Yaks are kept. Teleport to Li Yue's north and approach the marker. The guys will discuss the past, and Paimon will pass on the instructions to Wuxi. This will complete the quest.
