Genshin Impact's Fontaine Archon Quest Act I was full of surprises and twists and turns. Lyney invites Traveler to watch his magic show, but a crime occurs, and the former becomes the main suspect. You must find relevant evidence to prove Lyney's innocence with Navia's help.

Meanwhile, Furina, the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, will be the prosecutor in the trial acting against Lyney. You must challenge her and refute all the false allegations to win the case.

This article will showcase all the evidence you need to present and the claims you have to deny during the trial in Genshin Impact.

The trial in Genshin Impact's True Culprit quest begins with the Hydro Archon making several claims against Lyney. Meanwhile, you must counter these statements with the evidence you have collected so far.

Here are all the claims that you must refute and the evidence to counter them:

Refute: Lyney attacked Halsey.

  • Evidence: Lyney's statement.

Refute: Lyney kidnapped Halsey.

  • Evidence: The Voice in the Oratrice Core Chamber.

Refute: Lyney knocked Cowell out.

  • Evidence: The Young Lady's Clothes.

Furina will question you to provide the evidence to prove that Lyney wasn't in the tunnel when the crime takes place. After a series of dialogues, the Case Record file will automatically open, and you must select Strange Sound During The Magic Show.
