Kazuha and Venti Lantern Rite Location | |
---|---|
After completing the third quest in the Lantern Rite 2023 Event, Between Facades and Familiar Faces, Kazuha and Venti are in Beidou's Ship, The Alcor!
They are right beside Huixing the NPC you talk to start to the Vigilance at Sea Event.
You can talk to either Venti or Kazuha to trigger the same dialogue.
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Venti | This is such a cool ship! Facing the sea breeze and gazing out at the soaring seagulls… Ah, makes me wanna sing out loud! Kazuha, how about I stay here and be the ship’s resident bard? What are my prospects? |
Kazuha | With your level of artistic finesse, I’m sure nothing will go wrong. But I’m afraid the sailors aboard are not the most versed in the arts. They probably wouldn’t understand the deeper meaning your poetry holds. |
Venti | Haha, you can’t say that for sure! Poetry is spur-of-the-moment creations. Anyone viewing the same sights and experiencing the same atmosphere would surely understand. (sigh) There’s a port in Mondstadt too, but I rarely get the chance to board any of the ships. Speaking of ships, everything’s perfect about this one, except… |
Kazuha | Hmm? |
Venti | Um, Kazuha… Could you tell your Captain that my height says nothing about my age? I’m way past drinking age. How often does one get to enjoy a seafood feast on a ship? It’ll be a real shame if there isn’t anything stronger to enhance the food! Pretty please? |
Kazuha | There’s… not much I can do about that. It’s not because Captain Beidou’s not on the ship right now, but because there’s no room for negotiation on this matter. Even I have to sit in the no-drinking zone every time. |
Venti | (whimper) But I don’t get drunk after just a few sips… Trust me, I can hold my liquor really well! |
Xiao Lantern Rite Location | |
---|---|
After completing the third quest in the Lantern Rite 2023 Event, Between Facades and Familiar Faces, Xiao will be on the top floor of Wangshu Inn where you first met him!
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Xiao | Yanxiao just came up here with some Almon Tofu, but… I haven’t finished everything Xiangling gave me yet… You should try some too. I’m not as experienced in tasting mortal food as you, and I couldn’t tell the difference. ...There must be many different stories to tell of the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, too. You can tell me. I will listen. |
Dvorak Lantern Rite Location | |
---|---|
You can find Dvorak, the Fontaine Musician, right in front of the Paper Theater Event area in Liyue Harbor. It's located on the left side of the large Sea Gazer Mingxiao Lantern!
The Paper Theater is marked on the map, so you can navigate yourself toward that area.
Dvorak gives you several dialogue options after you interact with him, so talk to him a few times for different answers!
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Dvorak | Magnificent… Absolutely magnificent… |
Traveler | (Option 1) You mean, the show? |
Dvorak | (Option 1 Reply) Yes… When I heard the music coming from up in the clouds, I was so stunned, I could barely think or move. I felt like it had a special kind of hold over me… Hmm, or maybe it was the adeptal power within the music? And the ensemble at the end was truly sublime! I felt like I would have started to cry if I hadn’t been one of the performers on stage. |
Traveler | (Option 2) What are your plans for the future? |
Dvorak | (Option 2 Reply) Well, Lady Ningguang, the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing, has invited me to visit her again at Yujing Terrace to discuss a long-term collaboration plan. I do hope everything goes well, and that we have more opportunities to collaborate in the future. The next time we have another performance, you’ll have to come! I will save the best seat for you. |
Traveler | (Option 3) About the “fairy lady”... |
Dvorak | (Option 3 Reply) Haha… I have already given her my thanks in person. This is what she said: “It is only natural to lend a hand when we see someone in distress. The wonderful music you brought to Liyue is worth far more than gratitude.” Truly, I felt so honored… But I’ve also made a decision for myself: I will strive to create even more wonderful, original music for this era… our era! |
Traveler | (Option 4) See ya. |
Dvorak | (Option 4 Reply) We couldn’t have accomplished all of this without you, Traveler. Please accept my most heartfelt thanks again! |
Xinyan and Yun Jin Lantern Rite Location | |
---|---|
Xinyan and Yun Jin are infront of the giant Sea Gazer Mingxiao Lantern. As soon as you finish The Exqiusite Night Chimes Part 2 Event Quest, you will see them!
You can interact with either Xinyan or Yun Jin to trigger the same dialogue.
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Xinyan | Okay, now I need to get a move on and write my next song! |
Yun Jin | Listen to you, you only just fulfilled one lifetime dream. Are you really thinking about your next goal already? |
Xinyan | Don’t try to tell me you ain’t the same way. I bet you’ve already thought up a name for your next opera, haven’t ya? |
Yun Jin | Hehe… You know me too well, Xinyan… “The Adeptus-Seeking Voyage”... How does that sound? |
Xinyan | Aw, man! Yeah, I can already picture it! |
Yun Jin | I’ve also got just the finishing line for it! I will close with: “And the celestial melody echoed through the clouds forevermore.” |
Qiqi and Baizhu Lantern Rite Location | |
---|---|
Qiqi and Baizhu are in a bridge facing the Sea Gazer Mingxiao Lantern. You can get there by taking the stairs across the teleport waypoint near Yuehai Pavillion. You will go past the bookstore.
They are near the Heyu Tea House where Yun Jin usually performs!
Interact with either Qiqi or Baizhu to trigger the same dialogue.
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Baizhu | The Lantern Rite celebrations are getting better and better by the year. Such wonderful music… |
Qiqi | Dr. Baizhu, I’ve brought the herbs. Who are they for? |
Baizhu | The singers. Performing at a music festival is very demanding. Using these herbs in good time will protect their voices from damage. |
Qiqi | Oh… that’s why you were preparing them all night. |
Baizhu | Hehe, I dared not neglect the Yuheng’s request. Her messenger was quite insistent that it should take top priority. Let me double-check again… This one is for… |
Zhongli and Guoba Lantern Rite Location | |
---|---|
After completing the third quest in the Lantern Rite 2023 Event, Between Facades and Familiar Faces, Zhongli will appear with Guoba in the Wanmin Restaurant!
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Zhongli | The vegetables are fresh, and there are enough wheats and grains stocked up… I’ll pass on the seafood. Oh, it’s you (Traveler). We meet again. Surprised to see me here? It's the director's orders. Xiangling worked all day and night at the restaurant during the festival and didn't get to have any time to enjoy the festivities. The director sent me here to help out in the kitchen so that Xiangling will have some time to herself. But with someone as hardworking as you (Guoba) around, there seems to be nothing much for me to do… |
Guoba | ♪~ |
Zhongli | It feels good seeing my old friend in the kitchen fetching ingredients and lighting fires. Perhaps I should borrow Cloud Retainer’s supreme cuisine machine to speed things up… |
Guoba | ! |
Zhongli | …You’d still prefer to make them by hand? But of course. |
Ningguang and Beidou Lantern Rite Location | |
---|---|
After completing the third quest in the Lantern Rite 2023 Event, Between Facades and Familiar Faces, Ningguang and Beidou appears in Yujing Terrace where the Liyue Archon Quest was centered around.
You can interact with either Ningguang or Beidou to trigger the same dialogue!
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Beidou | Hey, don’t tell me you called me over just for a game of chess. |
Ningguang | You have to be more specific, Captain Beidou. Is it that you find playing chess an uninteresting activity, or that you’re unhappy about my lack of novel ideas? If you don’t specify what you mean, how could I know what I should do to please you? |
Beidou | Heh, of course… I make a single remark and you reply with a full-blown lecture. Maybe we should deal with all official affairs publicly in the future. Might just make things easier. |
Ningguang | I’d be perfectly happy with that—I’m just worried that Captain Beidou’s business might be negatively affected. |
Beidou | Don’t give me that. That woman from Yanshang Teahouse sometimes comes aboard to ask for information. She requested the fleet to import some goods, but how could I not know who she’s actually working for? |
Ningguang | Oh? You sure know a lot, Captain Beidou. How about I ask her to come over? Or maybe we go straight to her Teahouse? With one more person around, we’ll be able to have some variety in our chess games. I hope that that would be less of a bore to you. |
Beidou | Tsk, so we’re still going to play chess after all! |
Hu Tao, Xiangling, Xingqiu, & Chongyun Location | |
---|---|
After completing the third quest in the Lantern Rite 2023 Event, Between Facades and Familiar Faces, Hu Tao, Xiangling, Xingqiu, and Chongyun are all gathered together near the ships in Liyue Harbor!
They are located past the City Reputation area and near the boats.
Interact with either Hu Tao, Xiangling, Xingqiu or Chongyun to trigger the same dialogue.
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Hu Tao | Hehe, Xingqiu, you have to be honest. |
Xingqiu | Hm? Honest about what? |
Hu Tao | How did you and Venti really meet? |
Xingqiu | W-Why are you suddenly asking that… |
Xiangling | Eh? Aren’t they book buddies? |
Xingqiu | Yeah! We met a few times at a book convention, that’s all… |
Hu Tao | Ohh? Really? With that extraordinary demeanor and literary talent, he’s definitely not just any bard. If he’s someone that could hold his ground in a conversation with the consultant, he needs to be at least as talented as me! |
Xingqiu | Um, perhaps you’re overthinking this matter… |
Hu Tao | Ah… |
Xiangling | Hu Tao, Xingqiu wouldn’t lie to us… |
Xingqiu | (sigh) Okay, I’ll tell you the truth. |
Xiangling | Huh!? |
Chongyun | Xingqiu…! |
Xingqiu | I’m actually a fan of Venti’s poetry. You all know that I love reading, and sometimes come across poetry from Mondstadt. Among those works, I admire the ones penned by Venti the most. Just as Hu Tao said, his artistry is the reflection of his personality—remarkable grace and exceptional literary talent. I guess Venti didn’t tell you the whole truth back at the restaurant because he didn’t wanna embarrass me in front of everyone… He’s such a considerate person. |
Chongyun | …Yes, right. I can confirm that. When Xingqiu was busy with other things, he asked me to buy him poetry books in secret. |
Xiangling | I see… That didn’t sound like too much of a big deal. You could’ve told us right away. |
Xingqiu | Well, I’m telling you now, aren’t I? |
Hu Tao | Oh… So that’s your story… Ah, forget it. Let’s drop this topic. It’s not often that the four of us are all together. What should we do next? Hide-and-seek, hopscotch, or some shopping? |
Chongyun | Since there’s four of us… Why don’t we borrow a mahjong set? |
Yaoyao Lantern Rite Location | |
---|---|
Yaoyao is also in Qingce Village right across Madame Ping and Yanfei's location. She's standing near some orange plants!
Yaoyao gives you several dialogue options after you interact with her, so talk to her a few times for different answers!
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Yaoyao | I’m so happy! And all the grandmas and grandpas in Qingce Village had a great time, too! |
Traveler | (Option 1) Why Qingce Village? |
Yaoyao | (Option 1 Reply) You mean... what am I doing here? Well, just now, I did a performance for everyone! Although I can't play an instrument anywhere near as well as Master, I can still sing! Even Granny Ruoxin said I did a great job. She also gave me some candies, hee-hee! |
Traveler | (Option 2) About your Master… |
Yaoyao | (Option 2 Reply) Master's told me a lot of stories about the adepti! There was Skybracer with the giant deer horns, and Sea Gazer who loved to collect treasure… Sometimes, Master talks and talks for a long time, until her voice starts to sound sad. But then she always breaks into a smile again, and tells me all of the things each of them loved best about Liyue... I love everything about Liyue! Some of the adepti are gone now, but it's okay, because I'm gonna help take care of everyone in their stead! |
Traveler | (Option 3) About Dvorak… |
Yaoyao | (Option 3 Reply) I'm happy that Mr. Dvorak found the fairy lady from his story. And I'm also happy that it turned out it was Master all along. Also, I helped out too, didn't I? So that means I was... paying "ho-ma-ge" to my master? Oh, oh, also, Mr. Dvorak got one of his friends to bring me a toy from Fontaine! I like it a lot! At first... I didn't know whether I was supposed to accept it or not... But then Master said it was okay, so I did! |
Traveler | (Option 4) See you. |
Yaoyao | (Option 4 Reply) See you! Make sure you take good care of Paimon! Oh, and please come play with me if you ever have the time! |
Yanfei and Madame Ping Lantern Rite Location | |
---|---|
Yanfei is with Madame Ping in Qingce Village, you can find them by teleporting to the waypoint near the pavillion that houses Granny Ruoxin and heading down toward the village center where all the houses are located!
You can interact with either Yanfei or Madame Ping to trigger the same dialogue.
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Yanfei | Granny, you play so beautifully! Do you think you could teach me? |
Madame Ping | Oh, child, you simply never stop, do you? This festival is a rare chance to rest and relax, but here you are pestering me to teach you this, that, and the other… |
Yanfei | Don’t worry, Granny, I’m a fast learner! And anyway, the sooner I start learning, the sooner we’ll be able to perform a duet together. A musical duo is only as good as its weakest link, so you gotta teach me all your secrets, okay? |
Madame Ping | Alright, alright… Well, you can start by making me some more tea, and leaving it cool on the side. |
Yanfei | Sure, Granny! |
Where are Yelan, Shenhe, Ganyu, and Keqing? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Yelan | Shenhe | Ganyu | Keqing |
Yelan, Shenhe, Keqing, and Ganyu appeared in the story but after all the quests, they did not appear in the open world as NPCs.
During the first Lantern Rite quest, A Thousand Miles for an Enigmatic Tune, there will be times that you can talk to certain characters after completing their part of the quest.
All of the extra dialogues in between quest objectives are optional and have no effect on the quest itself.
You can still interact with Zhongli after talking to him at Third-Round Knockout at the beginning of the quest.
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Zhongli | As for Director Hu's list... Hmm... I shall attend to it after one last round of tea. |
After inquiring about legends with Madame Ping, you can continue talking to her!
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Madame Ping | You mustn't be afraid to try new things. If you never try, you'll never know. With your contribution, I'm sure this year's Lantern Rite will be a most spectacular one. |
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Dvorak | That lady I just talked to, Ganyu... she really thinks of everything. It got me wondering... could it be that all our failed attempts so far have been down to our failure to properly prepare for different contingencies? |
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Keqing | ...She said she'll reach out to the Yun-Han Opera Troupe? I see. Then I'll arrange for a rehearsal venue and accommodation as soon as possible. Everything should be ready tonight. |
Dvorak | Many thanks, Keqing. Heh... You know, I once heard someone from Liyue describe a person as "swift as lightning and agile as the wind." At the time, I thought it was a curious expression, and I had a hard time piecing together a mental image of such a person. But now, having seen Keqing in action, I honestly can't think of any other way to describe it... It's such a vivid and expressive phrase. A testament to the richness of Liyue's culture. |
Keqing | You're too kind, Mr. Dvorak. |
During the second Lantern Rite quest, A Single Harmony for an Irreplaceable Soul, you can also listen to several characters converse after completing their part of the quest.
Be sure to linger and see if you can interact with any characters left before moving on to the next objective!
You can listen to Madame Ping and Cloud Retainer converse after you accompanied Cloud Retainer and Ganyu to visit Madame Ping.
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Cloud Retainer | Ping, what say you to convening more often in the future? |
Madame Ping | That would be quite wonderful. But I must say, after all this time, I've grown quite accustomed to the harbor... When we are to meet, I shall have to trouble you to make the journey to the city. |
Cloud Retainer | You sound just like Shenhe. The child is constantly telling one all sorts of stories from the city, as if one was partial to them. |
Madame Ping | Have you ever considered moving to the city, Cloud Retainer? There are plenty of people here to talk to. I think you would find it quite the antidote to the monotony of solitude. And if you looked around, I suspect you would find some young minds with an interest in the mechanical arts — some of them even worth training. |
Cloud Retainer | Haha. We shall see. |
You can listen to Xinyan, Hu Tao, and Yun Jin while they practice for the Lantern Rite Music Festival in front of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Yun Jin | Okay, everyone, I think that's a long-enough break. Let's take it from the top, shall we? |
Hu Tao | Ms. Yun is such a strict mentor! These breaks aren't even long enough to have a sip of tea. |
Yun Jin | Hah, well, you were desperate to get involved, and this is what it takes. If I gave you half the chance, you'd be sipping tea till nightfall. |
Xinyan | Hey, how about I treat us all to some late night snacks once we're done! Hu Tao, whatcha cravin'? |
Hu Tao | Hmm... how about some Stir-Fried Filet with a side of Crab Roe Tofu? |
Xinyan | Hehe... Where are we gonna find Crab Roe Tofu so late at night? |
Hu Tao | We could always just go pester Masterful Chef, Xiangling. Mmm, now I'm hungry. Alright, let's knock this out and then go grab some food! |
You can talk to Zhongli, and then listen to the conversation between Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver, before you go back to Liyue Harbor for the Lantern Rite!
Interact with either Moon Carver or Mountain Shaper to listen to their dialogue.
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Zhongli | Talking to the Traveler I intend to reminisce with my old friends for a while longer. You ought to get back to Liyue Harbor. There is a performance you do not want to miss. |
Mountain Shaper | Had one known that Cloud Retainer was in possession of such eminently useful devices, one would have sought to borrow one from her long ago... |
Moon Carver | And yet, since you share my lack of enthusiasm for mechanisms and fine dining, it would have become a mere decorative ornament in your abode. |
Mountain Shaper | Not so. Had one had such a device to make up for one's lack of culinary prowess, Shenhe would not have had to rely on flowers and herbs alone for sustenance while under one's care... |
Moon Carver | Hmm... in that case, shall we rendezvous with Cloud Retainer one day soon, and request to borrow one more supreme cuisine machine? |
Mountain Shaper | A fine idea... a fine idea indeed. |
During the Epilogue, Between Facades and Familiar Faces, there is a chance to listen in on conversations between characters.
After offering to get out of the Xinyue Kiosk but before leaving, you can eavesdrop on certain interactions, as well as talk to Xiao and Paimon!
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Xiao | Let's depart. You go ahead. |
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Paimon | You're not allowed to leave Paimon here alone! To be honest... Paimon's worried about saying the wrong thing. |
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Zhongli | It seems like our new friend is an expert in wine. |
Venti | I deserve no such praise. I only drink for fun — it's nothing compared to your expertise. I'm glad we're only having tea today. What if I got drunk and said something nonsensical? I'd surely become an object of ridicule to someone I've just met. |
Zhongli | No such thing. I wouldn't dare disrespect the director's guest. |
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Chongyun | About you and Venti... |
Xingqiu | Um, haha... |
Chongyun | Could he be... a partner in your family business? |
Xingqiu | That's right. You know how my family is. A lot of business secrets can't just be divulged at the dinner table. |
Chongyun | Ahh, just as I thought. |
Speaker | Dialogue |
---|---|
Hu Tao | Did you talk about anything interesting before we started the meal? Anything fun I missed out on? |
Xiangling | Oh, we were talking about cooking. Mr. Zhongli told us that he went on a trip to Qiaoying Village the other day and got a hold of some uncommon ingredients — tea seed oil and sesame oil. He suggested I try using those in my new dishes. |
Hu Tao | Ohhh... No wonder he left his post for so long that day. Those ingredients would be difficult for anyone else to find. I guess I'll need his help next time as well. |
There are characters scattered around Liyue because of the 2023 celebration of the Lantern Rite Festival. You can find these characters in Liyue during the entire duration of the The Exquisite Night Chimes Event.
