Genshin Impact - Traces of Chroma World Quest Guide

Traces of Chroma is a 5.8 World Quest in Natlan for Genshin Impact. See how to unlock the quest, how to give the cafe some color, how to complete the design commission, and the walkthrough guide for it here!

How to Unlock Traces of Chroma

Vandalize the Studio Building

Genshin - Vandalize the Building

Traces of Chroma can be unlocked by traveling to the Eazybreeze Market in the Sunspray Summer Resort region in Natlan, then finding the NPC standing in front of a studio building.

An Asha monetoo will be present nearby, and the player must use the asha's abilities and vandalize the building, which will trigger dialogue from the man and start the quest.

Traces of Chroma Quest Walkthrough

Go to the Cafe

Genshin - Go to the Cafe

After the introductory cutscene, you will be asked to walk towards the cafe in the center of the Eazybreeze Market.

This cafe is recognizable by its corner placement and the four parasol tables on its terrace.

Give the Cafe Some Color

Genshin - Give the Cafe Some Color

After another cutscene, you will be asked to use the Asha monetoo to recolor the cafe according to their request. All interactable parts of the cafe are marked by the spotted walls, which means they can be splattered with color.

Take note that the quest can be buggy with this, as all spotted parts of the wall need to be colored in and the quest can be extremely specific with this, so make sure you get every small spot.

Decorate the Walls of the Cafe With Yellow

The walls of the building proper must be decorated with yellow. Walk around and splatter the color yellow around each side of the cafe until the objective is cleared.

Decorate the Awnings and Parasols With Any Color

The awnings, or sheets on the cafe, and the parasols can be decorated with any color, so either continue with yellow or switch to another one and color both awnings and all the parasols.

You can also shoot the balloons in the process for good measure.

Wait Until the Next Day (08:00 - 12:00)

Genshin - Wait Until the Next Day

Once the task is done, you will be praised for your performance, and will then have to wait until the next morning once you regain control of your character.

Go to the Main Street in Eazybreeze Market

Genshin - Go to the Main Street in Eazybreeze Market.

By morning, head over to the main street, which is in the same place where the cafe was.

Complete the Design Commission

Genshin - Complete the Design Commission

After a cutscene with Cozatl, you will be asked to complete the new design commission on the instrument store.

Color the Customers' Sports Supplies

The quest is specific on this objective as there are only three sports supplies to color. Color the surfboard blue, the ball red, and the floater yellow in order to clear this objective.

Decorate the Instrument Store With Orange or Yellow

Once that is done, walk across the street towards the instrument store and color the awning, two balloons, and the store sign with either Orange or Yellow.

Catch Up With Cozatl

Genshin - Catch Up With Cozatl

After the commission and cutscene, head west of the Eazybreeze Market to catch up with Cozatl.

He can be found under the cliffs inside a cavern, preparing to investigate the cavern.

Talk to Cozatl and Investigate the Cavern

Genshin - Talk to Cozatl and Investigate the Cavern

Once you regain control of your character, interact with the three glowing spots as part of the investigation, then talk to Cozatl afterwards, who will give you a note.

Announce the Investigation Results

Genshin - Announce the Investigation Results

When you finish investigating the cavern and reading the Yellowed Records, walk up to Alvo and present your investigation results.

Investigation Results

Directions
1
Interpret Alvo's Analysis, associate it with Zolton's Behavior, then interpret The Relationship Between Zolton and Colors and submit it as a conclusion.
2
Interpret the Memories of Those Around Me, then interpret The Source of Emotions and Memories and submit it as a conclusion.
3
Interpret the Missing Emotions, then submit the Missing Memories as a conclusion.
4
Interpret Zolton's Special Talent, then associate it with Alu's Secret Arts.
5
Interpret The Origins of "Chroma", then finally submit it as a conclusion.

Defeat the Incoming Enforcers

Genshin - Defeat the Enforcers

After the investigation results announcements, you will have to finish this part of the quest by defeating the enforcers that are now hostile.

There are only two opponents, so they can be taken care of relatively quickly.

Wait Until Two Days Later (08:00 - 12:00)

Genshin - Wait Until Two Days Later.

Once that is finished, go into your in-game clock and wait out the next two days until the events of the quest have blown over.

Go to the Studio

Genshin - Go to the Studio

Go back to the Eazybreeze Market and visit the Studio, where you will have a collection of people waiting for you and Zolton.

Give the Studio Some Color

Genshin - Give the Studio Some Color

For the last part of the quest, indwell an Asha and assist Zolton with the free-form design of the studio.

When you are satisfied with the color scheme, speak to Zolin one last time to conclude Traces of Chroma.
