How to Unlock Searing
Complete the Searing Prerequisite Sub-Quest
To unlock Searing quest, you must first complete the previous subquest of the Song of the Welkin Moon Prelude - The Journey Home Archon Quest, Smoldering!
Searing Quest Walkthrough
Enter the Ruins
Follow after Ineffa towards the cliff ruins on the north side of the Flower-Feather clan.
You will be entering the Temple of Cascading Colors - Ch'upikaq Tajin domain, where the recommended elements are Hydro and Electro. Note, a trial use of Ineffa will be available inside the domain, giving you a party of 5 characters.
Catch Up to Ineffa
Once inside the domain, ride the elevator to reach the lower floors and catch up to Ineffa near the entrance.
Talk to Ineffa
Once you reach Ineffa's location and talk to her, she apologizes that she rushed into the domain as she was controlled by an external source for a temporary moment.
Head Deeper Into the Ruins
After scanning the whole area, you decide to go deeper into the ruins in search of answers for Ineffa's memories and attachments to the Flower-Feather clan.
Open the entrance to the secondary access tunnel by defeating two Secret Source Automaton Hunter-Seekers. Inside the tunnel, Travelers need to avoid moving orange walls or else they will get sent back outside.
After passing through the second moving wall, Travelers will encounter a hole in the ground. Drop down the hole to progress deeper into the ruins.
How to Avoid the Moving Walls
| How to Avoid the Moving Wall | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  For the first moving wall, hide in the hole at the left side of the tunnel as fast as you can, let the moving wall pass through, and go forward until you reach the end of the tunnel. Make sure to go near the stone inside the hole to safely avoid the moving wall. |
| 2 |  At the second moving wall, wait for it to reach your side of the tunnel, then follow it as it goes in the opposite direction, and jump down the crack on the ground. |
Talk to the Service Bot
Upon reaching the deeper part of the ruins, you encounter a service bot at the end of a broken bridge that recognizes Ineffa as one of its administrators.
Wait for the Access Module
After talking to the service bot, you patiently wait for the access module that calls a mechanical dragon that will give you a ride through the domain to reach the next quest location.
Ride the Access Module
Ride on the access module, the big mechanical dragon, to reach the next quest location. While on the ride, a series of voice lines about Ineffa's history can be listened to.
Upon reaching the destination, a group of Fatui can be seen going towards you. To avoid them, Ineffa leads the way through the secret passageway at the side of the island.
Continue Onward Through the Secret Passageway
Use the Tatankasaurus Spiritsconce at the side and break through the solid phlogiston walls to continue through the domain. You will also encounter two Secret Source Automaton Hunter-Seekers once you are inside.
After defeating the automatons, open the door, go through the tunnel while indwelling with the Tatankasaur, and go to the hole on the left at the end of the tunnel. Then, wait for a mechanical block to come down and ride it like an elevator.
Head to the Deepest Area
After the cutscene with the Fatui, head straight forward into the corridors, defeat the Fluid Avatar of Lava, then continue walking until you reach the room with the Priestess of Floral Candles and Skyborne Feathers.
Embark on “The Journey Home”
While talking with the Priestess of Floral Candles and Skyborne Feathers, embark on The Journey Home by walking straight forward towards the mechanical boss.
After the custcene, the former sovereign ruler takes over Ineffa's body and endangers Paimon and the Traveler by trapping them between two moving walls.
Defeat the “Sovereign Ruler”
The sovereign ruler can be defeated easily by utilizing Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged reactions. Initially, you will need to use Electro-Charged attacks during the first part of the fight.
But once you take down 1/4 of the boss's HP, a cutscene will occur where Ineffa finally gets her Electro vision and rejoins your team. Then, you can use Lunar-Charged reactions with Ineffa that will quickly defeat the sovereign ruler.
Open the Letter in the Flower-Feather Clan
After defeating the sovereign ruler and reuniting with everyone outside the domain, you get teleported to a cliff at the Flower-Feather clan. Ineffa finally deciphers the package she was supposed to give you.
The package contains Varka's letter to you from Nod-Krai, saying that the Grand Master can't wait for you to meet him at The Flagship, a tavern.
