In Pursuit of a Phantom

Genshin Impact - In Pursuit of a Phantom

When you agreed to help Hu Tao and followed her to the Adventurers' Guild, you hadn't counted on becoming part of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's business development efforts. No topic is too sensitive for Hu Tao - certainly not matters of life and death - and even though some of her points make sense, you find them somewhat difficult to stomach. Then, when you voice your doubts about her approach, she tells you that she has long since moved on from business development to her next objective: finding someone called Big G.

In Pursuit of a Phantom Objectives

  • Talk to Meng at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and find out what happened
  • Go to the exorcism site
  • Protect the Ley Line Monolith and fend off the enemies
  • Listen as Hu Tao tells Luocheng the truth about exorcism

Walkthrough

Objectives
1
Head to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and talk to Meng.

Meng tells you that Big G is his childhood friend, who died by misadventure. Filled with regret and worry, Meng believes that due to a supernatural turn of events, Big G has become an evil spirit.

During the quest, you will have to defeat Hilichurls and Slimes. You will have Hu Tao as your Pyro for the domain part of the quest, so it would be nice to bring other elements.

Having a party with one Pyro, Hydro, and Electro will make sure you're ready for any enemy.

Bring a Healer

Similar to Xiao, Hu Tao's skill will decrease her HP whenever you use it, so having a healer in your party is highly recommended.

How to Get Out of the Loop in the Domain

One part of the domain will having you looping a certain area.

In order to end the loop, take the blue orb but don't place it in one of the stone lanterns yet, instead go ahead and follow the path with the spider blocking the way. Keep going until you make it back to the room with two lanterns and you will find that another blue orb has appeared.

Place the orb that you're carrying into one of the stone lanterns and pick up the new blue orb and place it into the second stone lantern.

Explain the Misunderstanding to Meng Bug

During the Story Quest, Meng may disappear during one of the objectives and some players won't be able to continue on with the quest.

This developers are already aware of this issue and are working to resolve this. If you encounter the issue, you can let them know via the in-game Feedback page.
