Follow this Genshin Impact walkthrough to complete the Proof of Guilt Archon Quest. Learn how to find Sayu, enlist Yoimiya's help, and set off fireworks to gather evidence.

Alright, so you've finished up that Anti-Raiden Shogun Training and Yae Miko's dropped a bombshell about the Kujou Clan betraying the Shogunate. Now, we need to get some solid proof, and fast, within three days! Our first move is heading to Chinju Forest to find a helper Yae mentioned.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to Chinju Forest: Your first destination is Chinju Forest. Look for Sayu, who you'll find chilling on a rock. Chat with her – she's the helper we need.
  2. 2
    Meet Thoma: After your talk with Sayu, travel over to the Komore Teahouse. We need to link up with Thoma to figure out the best way to snag evidence from the Kujou Clan.
  3. 3
    Get Yoimiya's Help: Thoma's got a plan: we're going to use fireworks to create a distraction! We need to get a firework from Yoimiya, who runs the Naganohara Firework shop. She'll give you a Supersized Firework that she hasn't had a chance to test yet.
  4. 4
    Distraction and Escape: Here's the tricky part. First, set your in-game time to between 00:00 and 05:00. Head to the tree east of the Statue of the Omnipresent God. Talk to Sayu there. Now, climb up to the platform right in front of the statue and set off the fireworks. This kicks off a 60-second timer! You need to get back to the Komore Teahouse while avoiding the guards. The best way is to glide from the platform you're on to the opposite side, then hug the backs of all the houses and shops to stay hidden. Once you make it back, speak with Ayaka in the teahouse to wrap up this quest.
Tips
  • Make sure to set the in-game time correctly before heading to the statue. Missing this window means you'll have to wait or reset.
  • When escaping, stick to the shadows and the backs of buildings. The guards are actively looking, so staying out of their line of sight is key.
  • Don't dawdle after setting off the fireworks; that 60-second timer is no joke!
