Complete guide for “The Chi of Yore” quest in Genshin Impact

Most Genshin Impact players should be able to clear The Chi of Yore quest rather easily.

The Chi of Yore quest was formally known as "The Chi of Guyun." Players who completed that version of the quest don't have to re-do it. Anyhow, the main reason some Genshin Impact players want to complete this quest is for the 60 Primogems it offers upon completion. It's a hefty reward for what is ultimately an easy quest.

The main issue some Genshin Impact players might have with this quest is that it's a hidden quest. Finding the starting location and defeating the Ruin Hunters are the main obstacles to a Genshin Impact player's ability to successfully clear The Chi of Yore quest.

Talk to Yan'er to start The Chi of Yore quest. She should look like a thief, and she should be located near a cooking pot in the location shown above. It's a hidden quest, so players won't normally see it on the world map.

There are three main fragments that Genshin Impact players need to collect to complete this quest. It doesn't matter which order players find the fragments, either. The main thing is that players will have to decipher all of the fragments to advance to the next step in The Chi of Yore.

Fragment 1

Genshin Impact players need to defeat the Ruin Hunter in the location shown above. They're fast and fairly strong enemies that some Genshin Impact players will struggle against. However, they're easy to defeat if the player has a competent team.

After defeating this Ruin Hunter, Genshin Impact players should interact with the glowing glyphs (also shown above). They will then need to collect a few stones

The final statue's location. Interact with it to unlock a chest near the "Incomplete Writing" (where the first Ruin Hunter was fought at) to get the first fragment.

The utmost northern statue that faces Stormterror's Lair
The eastern statue that faces Dragonspine

Go back to Granny Ruoxin to ask for her assistance. Now, the player needs to go to a vault for the final part of The Chi of Yore quest in Genshin Impact. Interact with the gate and use the three collected fragments to move on to the next part of the quest.

Head through the gate, defeat some Treasure Horders, and interact with the Qingce Cache mechanism. Genshin Impact players will need to defend the Qingche Cache from three waves of enemies:

One Ruin Guard
Three Ruin Guards
One Ruin Hunter

Collect the treasure, and go back to Granny Ruoxin to finish The Chi of Yore quest.
