Quest Description

Félix Yogue, a person from the Court of Fontaine, seems to be having some problems...

Félix Yogue: The passion of Mondstadt is well-founded, I say. More so than I imagined, in fact... even their hilichurls are so very lively.

Swan: Regardless, Mr. Yogue, we ask that you not go out by yourself again.

Félix Yogue: What? Then what about my machine? I'm still missing... um...

Félix Yogue: 1, 2, 3... 18... 19 components!

Swan: We've got adventurers working on finding them. Just wait here in the city where it's safe, please...

Félix Yogue: But without that device, my... It's a matter of inspiration, you understand? What shall I do when inspiration strikes?

Félix Yogue: Ah, it comes and it goes... Like a belch after a good drink, or a candle in the wind!

Félix Yogue: Hmm, actually, that's not a bad analogy. I should write it down. I'm sure Xavier would love it...

Swan: You...

Swan: Huh? Honorary Knight? Ah, wonderful! Just the person I wanted to see! Please, over here!

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Swan: Well, allow me to introduce you. This man here is from the Court of Fontaine...

Félix Yogue: No man am I, but a daydreamer! That is how we name ourselves!

Swan: ...So, Mr. Yogue, this is our Honorary Knight...

Félix Yogue: Yogue! Félix Yogue. Salutations to you, Honorary Knight! Long have I heard of your many exploits.

You know of me?

Félix Yogue: Of course, of course! Who wouldn't?

Félix Yogue: Your battle against Dvalin in Mondstadt made headlines in The Steambird for three whole weeks!

Félix Yogue: Hahaha, if those reporters knew that I was speaking to you right now, why, they would be beside themselves with envy!

What's The Steambird?

Félix Yogue: Ah, you don't know? It's a... Ah, let's say it's a rather popular newspaper in the Court of Fontaine.

Félix Yogue: You once got their sales up to record numbers, I'll have you know.

Headlines, you say?

Félix Yogue: Indeed! And you got their sales up to record numbers, to boot!

Félix Yogue: Front-page, full-length, expert interviews up the wazoo, and the best hand-drawn illustrations Mora could buy! You made a lot of people mad Mora there.

Swan: Well then... Traveler, Mr. Yogue, I shall leave you guys alone... I've got some other things to handle at the moment, if you'll excuse me.

Swan leaves in a hurry...

Félix Yogue: Ah, it is as I was told. The Knights of Favonius have a never-ending backlog of work.

So, why are you here in Mondstadt?

Félix Yogue: Me? Well, I'm actually planning to tour Teyvat.

Félix Yogue: As for the purpose of my trip, why, it is to promote these Kinesis Cores that I have made.

Félix Yogue: Simply put, a Kinesis Core is a form of clockwork device. As long as its mainspring is wound from time to time, these cores can provide motive force for a long period of time.

Félix Yogue: I even created a sort of perpetual-motion toy powered by the Kinesis Core to show off its capabilities. I call it the Evermotion Mechanical Painting.

Félix Yogue: Unfortunately, while I'd love to show the device to you...

Félix Yogue: Its allure was all too much for even monsters to resist.

Félix Yogue: At the moment, they must have divvied my device up into many pieces in a manner most unfriendly, playing around with each component...

Félix Yogue: I have, of course, asked for the help of the Adventurers' Guild, but I have received no news from any adventurer so far...

Félix Yogue: Honorary Knight, could you help me out as well, if you have a mind to?

Félix Yogue: Believe me, neither my device nor the payment due will disappoint you!

Leave it to me.

Félix Yogue: Wonderful. You are indeed a mighty adventurer, and a mighty sympathetic one, too. Just as the papers said!

Félix Yogue: Ah, it's a shame that we're in Mondstadt. Were we in the Court of Fontaine, I would bring a few reporters from The Steambird for an exclusive interview with you.

Félix Yogue: I'm sure that your charisma would bowl them over to the point where you'd be guaranteed another three weeks' worth of headlines — not to mention the requisite royalties.

(Talk to Félix Yogue again): Félix Yogue: Well, (‍Mr.Text for Aether‍/‍Ms.Text for Lumine‍) Honorary Knight, I leave the matter of these components to you.

(After defeating the opponents): Paimon: Wow, that's a big box of parts. This has gotta be the stuff Yogue wanted.

(Return to Félix Yogue): Félix Yogue: You've returned, Honorary Knight. What news of the components?; You mean these?
(Submit A Box of Components): Félix Yogue: Yes, indeed! Ah, this is wonderful! Heavens, yes!; Félix Yogue Well now, since all the components have been returned to us, all that's left is to combine them...; Félix Yogue: Well then... Honorary Knight, if you want, you can attempt to put all the pieces together.; Félix Yogue: It will be an interesting experience, trust me!

Quest Description

Félix Yogue, someone from the Court of Fontaine, still seems to have things he wants to say...

(Talk to Félix Yogue): Félix Yogue: Ah, bravo! All six Evermotion Mechanical Painting parts, now returned to us! Now then, all we need to do is to splice them together again...; All... of them?; Félix Yogue: Why, of course! All these six smaller parts can be reunited as one!; Félix Yogue: Together, they will form a gigantic and beauteous Evermotion Mechanical Painting.; Félix Yogue: Come, come, all we need to do now is to join them up!; Don't we need to cast it or anything?; Is there any other work that needs to be done?; Félix Yogue: No, no, not at all. My machine is not some hastily cobbled-together amalgam of scrap!; Félix Yogue: Every part is wonderfully, intricately meshed together like a... like a... Um...; Félix Yogue: Eh, never mind. I've never been the best at analogies. I swear Xavier stole all the talent in rhetoric for himself.; Félix Yogue: Either way, give it a go. It'll be interesting, I guarantee it.

(Talk to Félix Yogue again): Félix Yogue: Give it a go yourself. It'll be interesting, I guarantee it.

(Splice the Evermotion Mechanical Painting together)
(Talk to Félix Yogue): Félix Yogue: Perfect! Why, it's lovely! Skilled in both mind and hand, you are, and more so than I could have expected, too!; Félix Yogue: Hah. I do recall that several ludicrous manuscripts from The Steambird described you as... as...; As a, uh...; Yes, go on...; Félix Yogue: Heh... As a straight-shooting knight-errant who prefers to let their blade do the talking.; Félix Yogue: Ah, how ridiculous and foolish those reporters were! How much ado they made about so little! After all, who are you, if not a sharp, smart, humble... and well, straight-shooting knight-errant?; Félix Yogue: When I get the time, they shall hear from me. Oh yes, they will!; Félix Yogue: Ah, right. Please take this particular device. You can take it out for a little leisure, should you, well, be at leisure.; Félix Yogue: As for me, I've got to start raising the Mora I'll need to travel to Liyue...
