Follow our expert guide to conquer Genshin Impact's Wanderer's Trail quest. Learn how to defeat your first slime, unlock waypoints, and climb to victory!

Alright, so you've just started Genshin Impact and picked your twin – don't sweat it, the story's pretty much the same no matter who you choose. Now, you're gonna find yourself on a beach, chatting with Paimon. She's your main buddy throughout the game, helping you with everything. Get comfy with the movement controls; there's a tutorial for that, and you can even switch to a controller setup in the settings if you're on PC.

You'll see some crabs scuttling around on the beach. Go ahead and grab any you can, but be quick, they're speedy little things!

Follow Paimon

Head over to Paimon, who's waiting a bit further down the beach. She'll lead you a short way, and then BAM! A slime pops out of the sand. This is your very first fight! Just wail on it with your sword a few times until it pops. Keep following Paimon, and she'll lead you to a Teleport Waypoint. Activate it for +10 Adventure EXP. These waypoints are super important for fast travel later on, so always try to unlock them.

Keep moving towards the cliff where Paimon's waiting. You'll spot some lizards and flowers along the way – feel free to collect them. When you get close to Paimon, she'll mention the path ends, meaning it's time to climb. She'll explain that climbing uses up your Stamina, just like sprinting, and it takes a bit to recharge. So, jump onto the cliff face and start climbing your way to the top to finish the quest.
