Complete the Follow the Wind Archon Quest in genshin impact. Fight the final round, track down a stolen Vision, and defeat Treasure Hoarders.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the arena to fight the final round. You will witness a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) where Beidou introduces the finalists. Your opponent is missing, and the match is postponed. Kazuha senses something is wrong and suggests checking the prize.
  2. 2
    Go to Zhuhan and check the box containing the Vision. It has been stolen. Kazuha explains the thief is nearby and asks you to accompany him.
  3. 3
    Follow Kazuha to track down the Vision. Heal if necessary and head to Zhuhan for the semi-finals.
  4. 4
    Go to the wind current location north of the island. Jump into it to start the challenge "Ride the wind to proceed onward." Follow the wind accelerators to a small island.
  5. 5
    When you land, follow the path west. You will encounter a Fatui Pyro Agent. Be wary of its invisibility, spinning knife guard (deals Pyro damage), and charge attack. Using Elemental Skills that apply an elemental status can reveal its silhouette. Consider characters like Zhongli for defense buffs or Mona and Ganyu for taunting.
  6. 6
    After defeating the Fatui Pyro Agent, your quest log will update. Continue west to the beach and interact with the golden glow to activate another wind current.
  7. 7
    Jump on the wind current for another challenge. Follow the wind accelerators to the next island.
  8. 8
    When you land, head around the corner of the mountain. You will battle a Treasure Hoarder Scout, a Treasure Hoarder Marksman, and a Treasure Hoarder Cryo Potioneer. Focus on the Potioneer as its potions can knock you down.
  9. 9
    With the Treasure Hoarders defeated, you will find the thief by a pool of water. A cutscene will play where the thief explains he stole the Vision because he knew he had no chance against you in the tournament. Kazuha explains that no boat could match the speed of the wind and that the Vision wouldn't work on the thief.
  10. 10
    Defeat the Treasure Hoarder, Fei. He fights like a marksman and can jump away. He fires Pyro bolts if uninterrupted. Close the distance and use melee attacks to defeat him.
  11. 11
    After the fight, Kazuha explains the situation with the Vision.
  12. 12
    Return to the Guyun Stone Forest arena waypoint (a marker on your map you've manually placed as a destination). Head to the arena, where Beidou is not present as she was summoned by Ningguang. Kazuha explains what happened, declares you the champion, and informs you that Beidou will keep her word about the journey, but the Alcor needs to be fitted, and you will be notified when it's ready. This concludes the prologue.
Tips
  • The Fatui Pyro Agent can go invisible; using Elemental Skills that apply status effects can reveal its outline.
  • When fighting the Treasure Hoarders, prioritize the Cryo Potioneer due to its disruptive abilities.
  • Fei, the final Treasure Hoarder, is best defeated by closing the distance and using continuous melee attacks.
