Guizhong

Follow this Genshin Impact walkthrough to complete the Guizhong Ballista quest, defeat Treasure Hoarders, and retrieve essential parts for Zhongli.

Alright, so Zhongli's got another task for you: we need to head over to Bubu Pharmacy to snag this 'Everlasting Incense'. Just make your way to the north end of Liyue Harbor. You'll see a big building near a pond – that's the place. Go inside, and you'll hear someone greet you, but don't worry if you don't see anyone at first. Once you can move again, head up to the reception. You'll meet Qiqi, who's actually a zombie!

Now, things take a bit of a weird turn. Qiqi wants you to find something called the 'Cocogoat', which is apparently some legendary beast hanging out near the Guizhong Ballista. To start, leave Liyue Harbor through the northwest exit and follow the path. Keep an eye out – you'll need to look up to spot some stairs leading to some ruins. Once you get to the top, go around the building and you should find a ladder. Climb up that ladder to reach the Ballista, and give it a good look to kick off a scene.

After that little chat, you'll find out the Ballista isn't working. Zhongli thinks he can fix it if we get him the right materials. So, head east from where you are now, and you'll see the military supply post. Look for a window you can climb through. Inside, you'll find four Common Chests, but they're all stuck in stone. The quickest way to break that stone is with a Claymore character. Grab the materials from the chests – these are what Zhongli needs. Once you've got them, stand on the pressure plate you'll find there to open the gates. Then, just head back to Zhongli and hand over the goods.

Just as you're about to continue your search for the Cocogoat, you'll get interrupted by Freckle Huang, the leader of the Treasure Hoarders. Get ready, because you're about to be thrown into a fight with them! Since these guys don't really use elements, feel free to go wild with your best reactions, like Overload or Electro-Charged, to take them down. You'll be facing three waves of Treasure Hoarders, and each group will be a bit tougher than the last. It's a good idea to focus on the bomb throwers and mages first, so you can deal with the bigger Treasure Hoarders without too much trouble. Also, try your best not to knock them off the platform you're on, because you'll have to jump down to finish them off if you do.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to track down the Cocogoat that Qiqi was looking for. So, you'll have to head back to her at Bubu Pharmacy to break the news. Just teleport back to Liyue Harbor and make your way to the Pharmacy to talk to her. This will trigger a scene, and you'll finally get that Everlasting Incense. Take it back to where you picked up the Bell and Jade; the Rite will happen there, and that'll wrap up this Quest.
