How to start the archon quest “Masquerade of the Guilty”
As usual, all players must meet a number of conditions to gain access to story missions:
After all the above conditions are met, the quest will become available in the quest log. All you have to do is go to the “Archon Quests” tab, select a quest and click “Track Target”.
Spilling evil waters
Go to the barracks where you recently investigated Childe’s case. Officially, heroes cannot leave this area, so they will have to get permission first. Go to the bedroom and watch a short cutscene, after which the chapter begins.
Talk to the secretary
Go to the lower level and find Monglan. She will give you a special card to leave the fortress, which must be returned to Risley. The man is waiting in his office.
Travel to the Mermonia Palace
Fast travel to the Hydro Archon statue in the Cour de Fontaine and then enter the palace. Neuvillet 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 see Navia without him.
Go to Poissons
If you have been to the village of Poisson before, use the teleport to get here quickly. When you get there, you’ll meet Navia’s henchmen. The girl herself is waiting for you on the ship. After the dialogue you will receive the achievement “The Call of the Seagulls” in the ‘Wonders of the World’ section.
Go to the cemetery
It is necessary to leave the village and go to the surface. You can use the nearby teleporter on the hill and then slide down. After a long cutscene with Navia and the Servant, the quest ends.
- Adventure experience (875);
- Mora (38,100);
- Hero Experience (4);
- Magic Reinforcement Ore (7).
Every meeting is a farewell
Your next target is in the southern part of Mon Atoneki. When you arrive here, you will see the entrance to the ruins that the Servant talked about in the last scene. Navia offers to join: select a combat-ready team and enter.
Search the ruins
This dungeon has a limitation: you can’t climb most of the walls, so each fall takes you back to your starting position. Follow the marker, go to the first objection gate and take out a small group of enemies.
Keep running behind the marker. When the floor collapses, kill some hilichurls, investigate rich chest. After the cutscene with Navia, walk past the fallen column and climb the planks. Be careful and don’t hang around because after a while they will collapse.
At the next spawn gate, run forward along the bridge. Part of it will start to collapse, so quickly get to the other side. Immediately afterwards you see a long video in which Naviya falls into the water and appears in a parallel world. You can’t influence the plot in any way, so just watch until the end to explore the ruins again.
The achievement is obtained immediately after the cutscene “Love is Destructive” in the ‘Wonders of the World’ section.
Continue exploring the ruins
Enter the tower and take out the enemy. Now you have to climb the stairs and wooden planks to the top. Both stairs and shelves will collapse. Don’t miss it after the second flight rich chest — he is standing right in front of the entrance to the tower.
Once you’ve taken out the group of enemies, interact with the device to lower the elevator. Once you reach the plates containing the prophecy, you will receive new evidence that you will need later. The dungeon will pass and you can inspect it precious chest before departure.
After leaving the dungeon, Navia and Veuvillet leave, and the protagonist and Paimon go to the Spina di Rosula base in Flev Sandr. There will also be some longer dialogues, after which the task will be completed.
- Source stones (30);
- Adventure experience (1225);
- Mora (53,900);
- Hero Experience (5);
- Magic Reinforcement Ore (10).
Hunters, prophets
Follow the palace and enter Neuvillette’s office. You see a scene where the judge tries to find out details about Furina’s prophecy. The Archon will refuse to talk, so Neuvillet will propose to organize a trial.
Watch a few more scenes and then head to the Spina di Rosula base. There you will meet Witch N and receive another proof.
Go to the kiosk
Teleport to the surface of the city of Cour de Fontaine and read the article in the newspaper. You will be greeted by Sedena at the Debord Hotel and after your meal you can leave the building.
Remark: If you have not previously completed the world mission ‘Interview at the Steam Bird’, you will not be able to continue completing the story missions.
All that remains is to talk to Charlotte and Isadora at the Spina di Rosula base. After this the quest ends.
- Adventure experience (1000);
- Mora (44,000);
- Hero Experience (4);
- Magic Reinforcement Ore (8).
Judgement day. Which arguments you should choose
To carry out Neuvillette’s plan, you must first find Furina in Poisson. Hidden, the Archon will begin to tell you about his quest and attempts to control sea levels. At this time, the heroes will find themselves in a trial in the theater. You can’t see it now, but you will get the achievement “Scene of Fate” in the ‘Wonders of the World’ section.
During Furina’s interrogation you have to choose arguments:
- How can Furina live so long when she’s only human? — Meeting with a servant (Furina is affected by some kind of curse).
- What evidence is there that Furina is not Oratrice’s owner? – Childe’s conviction (Oratrix gave a guilty verdict, and even Furina didn’t know why).
- What facts confirm that Furina is a person? – The truth about the case of disappearances (All inhabitants of Fontaine can be dissolved in the waters of the Primordial Sea).
How to unravel the secret meaning of stone tablets
- Prophecy picture I — The truth about the case of the girls’ disappearances.
- Prophecy picture II — Announcement of Hydro Archon’s death sentence.
- Prophecy picture III — Naviya falls into seawater.
- Prophecy picture IV – The entrance of the Primeval Sea to the Meropid fortress.
- What is the real cause of the disaster? — Whale in a dream (In your dream you saw Childe sailing on the sea and a huge whale).
Then watch several videos in the engine that reveal the true meaning of the prophecy and information about the Hydro Archon.
Opera of white roses and black waves
Furina refuses to talk, so you need to turn off the three spotlights next to her. Once two of them are eliminated, the hero is attacked by Screams without Echoes. After you do this, control Furina and watch the videos.
Defeat the devouring narwhal
You don’t have to kill the huge whale, you just have to damage it enough so that it moves on to the next phase. When he absorbs the hero, he will appear in a different form. Fight him and watch a few more cutscenes. In addition to rewards, you also receive an achievement “In the name of a bright future” in the ‘Wonders of the World’ section.
