Genshin Impact, renowned for its expansive landscapes and intricate quests, often presents challenges that leave players perplexed. One such enigma is the 'In Search of Lost Time' quest, a multifaceted mission that not only unfolds an engaging storyline but also promises substantial rewards.
This complex quest revolves around aiding Broglie, a Hydrology Researcher, in retrieving vital monitoring data from sunken hydrology research stations. If you're seeking guidance to navigate this quest seamlessly, you've come to the right place. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to successfully complete the 'In Search of Lost Time' quest in Genshin Impact.
How to complete the 'In Search Of Lost Time' Quest in Genshin Impact
Before delving into the quest, ensure completion of three preliminary quests: North, West, and South. Notably, even if the Archon Quest remains unfinished, you can still undertake the 'In Search of Lost Time.'
In Search of Lost Time: South Quest
Commence your journey at the New Fontaine Research Institute Waypoint. Head southwest from there until you encounter a broken bridge near the water, where Broglie awaits, visibly distressed. Engage in conversation with him to understand the situation.
Follow the quest marker to discover a sunken research station. Inside, a deactivated console in the control room awaits activation. Before doing so, interact with floating books revealing the location of a crucial energy storage device.
However, challenges arise as an adversary lurks nearby, necessitating the utilization of Jellyfish power to overcome it. Once defeated, activate the Crystal Mechanism, swiftly navigate inside, and utilize the console.
This stage demands the transfer of energy between devices, requiring focus and patience. Here are the steps:
- Focus on the red lens to change the POV.
- Change it yet again by focusing on the red lens in the middle.
- Change the POV one more time.
- Move the lens down and absorb the energy from the blue device.
- Return to the deactivated device to release the energy inside.
Successfully retrieving the monitoring data, return to Broglie on the shore to conclude this leg of the quest.
Reward: Monitoring Data
In Search of Lost Time: West Quest
Your subsequent destination is a tower north of Mont Esus East. Ascend to the top, overcoming a couple of Fatui Skirmishers in your path. Upon their defeat, you'll find the final floor blocked, with completion of the quest being the only way to access it.
A table below holds a paper providing clues to two Fatui camps. While the first camp to the west of the tower may not offer significant challenges, the second camp to the southeast holds the key.
You can lure the Fatui Skirmishers out of the tower by hitting the cooking pot. After defeating the enemy, return to the tower, activate the Stabilizer, and strike it when the circle is around the Blue Zone. Climb up on the ladder and claim your Precious Chest. Don't forget to activate the console to secure the monitoring data.
Reward: Precious Chest and Monitoring Data
In Search of Lost Time: North Quest
Your ultimate destination is a tower northwest of the New Fontaine Research Institute. Climbing this tower presents its own set of challenges, with voices from below hinting at more mysteries.
An energy transfer terminal provides the solution, but it's a game of transferring energy between devices. Successfully navigating this puzzle not only grants access to a Common Chest but also pits you against a few enemies. Defeat them to claim the monitoring data from the console.
Reward: Common Chest and Monitoring Data
The Final Quest: In Search of Lost Time
Having completed the three quests, 'In Search of Lost Time' is automatically triggered. Meeting Broglie at the New Fontaine Research Institute sets the stage for the final act. As you follow the quest marker to the central processing station, a Luxurious Chest awaits. However, just as Broglie is about to access the console, Malinovskyi, a member of the Fatui, interrupts.
A chase ensues, leading to a confrontation with Malinovskyi. After a series of energy transfers and strategic moves, you'll face Malinovskyi. Once his health gets low, he will run away. Follow him by jumping into the water and following the current to the surface.
Defeat him and retrieve the stolen monitoring data. Handing this over to Broglie not only completes the quest but also earns players 'The Forgotten Realm' Achievement in Genshin Impact.
Reward: Luxurious Chest in Genshin Impact and The Forgotten Realm Achievement.
