Follow this Genshin Impact guide to complete the 'Where the Light Wanes' World Quest. Learn how to find Xiao Lanterns, defeat Hilichurls, and report back to Hongyu.

Hey there! Ready to tackle another World Quest in Genshin Impact? This one's called 'Where the Light Wanes,' and it's part of the Lantern Rite Tales. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Talk to Hongyu: First things first, after finishing 'Currents Deep Beneath the Lanterns' and 'Lantern Rite Tales 1,' find Hongyu. He's usually hanging out on the stairs near the Ministry of Civil Affairs building. Just have a chat with him to get things rolling.
  2. 2
    Collect the First Xiao Lantern: After your chat, Hongyu will tell you to head to Mt. Tianheng. Once you're there, you'll need to climb up a branch to find and collect the first Xiao Lantern.
  3. 3
    Collect the Second Xiao Lantern: Next up, you'll need to fast travel to the spot southeast of Lingju Pass. From there, climb the mountain nearby to find and collect the second Xiao Lantern. Keep an eye out for those orange circles on your map – they'll show you where to go!
  4. 4
    Defeat Enraged Hilichurls: Now, make your way to Jueyun Karst. You'll run into some enraged Hilichurls here, so get ready for a fight! Take them down.
  5. 5
    Talk to Flash-Fist Ling: After you've dealt with the Hilichurls, find and speak with Flash-Fist Ling.
  6. 6
    Collect the Last Xiao Lantern: Ling will point you towards the final Xiao Lantern. Go grab it!
  7. 7
    Report Back to Hongyu: Once you have all three Xiao Lanterns, head back to Hongyu to report your findings. This will wrap up the quest!
Tips
  • Pay close attention to the map markers for the Xiao Lantern locations. They're usually in pretty distinct spots that require a bit of climbing.
  • The Hilichurls in Jueyun Karst can be a bit tough, so make sure your team is ready for a fight. Bring characters that can deal good elemental damage!
