You can still picture the moment your journey began. You remember how it felt to take the first step, and the weight of every word you shared.

- Discrepancy Log
- A beam of blue light has appeared to the southeast of the statue...
- A round device can be found to the west of the statue...
- A strange cart can be found to the north of the statue...
- The Statue of The Seven seems to have taken on a new look...
- Dialogue
- (Attempt to leave the map boundary, optional)
- Alice: How about we explore the area ahead of us later?
- (Photograph the phantom greatsword)
-
- Paimon: Oh, now I see why it seemed so familiar!
- (Talk to Razor, optional)
- Paimon: Razor? What are you doing here? And shouldn't this thing be in Wolvendom?
- Razor: Fiery woman came to take lupical. I said no.
You stopped her?- Razor: She backed down, but then said I would do "just as well."
- Razor: This sword is here for now. I am here to protect it.
- Paimon: Hold on, let Paimon get this straight... Alice was planning to bring Boreas here, but you stopped her.
- Paimon: So she took the illusion of the sword and left you to guard it instead!
- Paimon: That would make the "Trial of Boreas" the "Trial of Razor" now, wouldn't it?
- What would happen if someone tried to claim this sword?
- Razor: We fight. I protect lupical.
- Paimon: Wow, looks like Paimon's guess was spot on... Don't worry, Razor, no one's gonna take this sword. It's not even real.
- Razor: Not real?
- ...Let's leave the explanations to Nicole.
- Paimon: Alice's scheming claims another victim, huh ... Let's take the photo and get Razor out of here.
- (Talk to Razor again, optional)
- Razor: Not real? I don't get it...
- (Photograph the Dodofortress)
- Paimon: Hehe, time for some exercise!
- Paimon: Oh, it's Eula and... Clorinde? You're here in Mondstadt?
- Clorinde: Yes. I received an invitation to exchange swordsmanship techniques. I'd heard of the single-handed sword form of Favonius Bladework...
- Clorinde: But after crossing swords with Miss Eula, it turns out the Knights of Favonius are quite accomplished with the greatsword as well.
- Eula: You're quite an accomplished swordsman yourself, although I suppose that's to be expected of the Champion Duelist. Even over a few short rounds, I feel like we've learned a lot from each other.
- This is a good place to spar.
- Paimon: For sure. You don't have to worry about breaking stuff or accidentally hurting anyone nearby.
- Eula: That's right. There also appear to be automatic harpasta launchers in the area.
- (Eula points at the Dodofortress)
- Clorinde: Ah, that's one of your local traditions, isn't it? Shall we have ourselves a game, then?
- Eula: Why not? You should know, though. I'm not easy to beat at this game.
- Eula: Ah, hold on! No muskets allowed!
- Clorinde: Oh, uh... Why not? Doesn't it still count as "hitting the harpastum"?
- (Talk to Clorinde or Eula, optional)
- Eula: A sword's range is limited, though. So, it wouldn't be fair.
- Clorinde: Ah, of course. Then, you should use a gun as well! Voila, problem solved.
- (Photograph the Choo-Choo Cart)
-
- Paimon: Hey, the cart here isn't broken anymore!
- Paimon: It sure would be convenient if we could build a Choo-Choo Cart track straight from here to Mondstadt!
- (Traveler): An express line right to the best Fish-Blasting spot?
- Paimon: O—Okay... Might not be the best idea...

No matter where your journey leads, you always find yourself back among the dandelions, listening to the steady ring of the anvil before the city gate.
Stage description
- Discrepancy Log
- Flora's flower shop has received a fresh selection of flowers...
- There's a new face at the Adventurers' Guild...
- An unknown call echoes from the front door of The Cat's Tail...
- There's an animal by the fountain that really shouldn't be there...
- There's an unfamiliar tent close to the Teleport Waypoint...
- It appears an unusual animal has wandered onto the bridge into Mondstadt...
- Dialogue
- (Attempt to leave the map boundary, optional)
- Alice: How about we explore the area ahead of us later?
- (Photograph the flowers at Flora's flower shop)
-
- Paimon: None of these look like the local Mondstadt varieties...
- Paimon: Huh, none of these flowers look local to Mondstadt...
- (Talk to Emilie, optional)
- Paimon: Wait, Emilie? It's been a while!
- Emilie: Hello, you two. Would you like to buy some flowers?
- You're in charge of this shop?
- Emilie: Yes. I came to Mondstadt to collect a few samples for new scent ideas. But, I wasn't finding anything.
- Emilie: Then, this lady who called herself a mage told me she had a bunch of rare plants she was sure I'd never seen before.
- Emilie: All I have to do is manage this flower shop, and I get to research these plants all I want.
- Paimon: Nice! That should help you come up with something new for sure!
- Emilie: If there's one trait they have in common...
- Emilie: I think it would be the feeling of "summer," refreshing and clear, cutting through the full-bodied and dream-like floral notes.
- Emilie: I certainly have a lot to research, so I think I'll be here for a while. Did you need anything?
- Paimon: We're looking for things in here that are different from the real Mondstadt. Do you mind if we take a few pictures of these plants?
- Paimon: Hey, since you like them so much, why don't we ask Nicole if you could preserve them in some way?
- Good idea.
- Emilie: Really? That would be amazing. This is my payment, after all.
- (Talk to Emilie again, optional)
- Emilie: I never knew origami flowers could give off a fragrance. Fascinating...
- (Talk to Liben, optional)
-
- Liben: Hey there, friend!
- Wait, what are you doing here?
- Liben: Well, we couldn't just drag Katheryne in here, could we? What would the real Adventurers' Guild do without her?
- Liben: Not that she ever shows it on the outside, but she's one busy bee, that's for sure.
- Liben: I mean, just think about how much time it must take to travel between all the different nations!
- Y—Yeah...
- Liben: Anyway, I heard this whole world was constructed from magic. Incredible stuff.
- Liben: Even the books on this shelf are real. Not a single prop to be found!
- Liben: Huh, I really gotta take a better look around once this gig's done.
- So, same arrangement as always?
- Liben: Haha, not today, I'm afraid. The funds I need haven't transferred in yet.
- Liben: Once I've earned enough Mora from this trip, I'll open up shop at the usual spot.
- The person who does this job is the one who gives me my daily Primogems, you know.
- Liben: True... But it doesn't seem like the people who created this place set up anything like that. Hey, why don't I go ask for some, and then we all can have a few?
- Liben: Huh, but could we even take them back into the real world, that's the question...
- (Talk to Liben again, optional)
- Liben: I'll ask for some Primogems later, and then we can all have some.
- (Photograph the Iktomisaurus Chick)
- (Talk to Diona or the Iktomisaurus, optional)
- Diona: So that's where it was.
- Paimon: Diona? What are you doing here?
- And with an Iktomisaur, too.
- Diona: It's my first time seeing these little guys. They're from Natlan, right? Hehe, they're so cute.
- Diona: Alice put a version of the Cat's Tail here and asked me to run it. It has the set up I'm used to and everything. Now, all I need to do is make some drinks.
- Diona: And you know what? This is the perfect chance to change all the ingredients to super weird stuff. Haha, I'll get people to lose interest for sure!
- Paimon: Looks like your campaign is going strong, huh. Even out here...
- Diona: Of course. The only thing missing is... the cats, actually. They seem to prefer the real Cat's Tail.
- Diona: But, that's not a huge surprise. Cats are sensitive about where they live. Even if the place looks exactly the same, they'll know something's off.
- Diona: So Alice said she would find different staff instead. And then these little saurians appeared.
- Diona: Bennett gave me a few pointers on how to get along with them... Turns out, there's not a huge difference between them and a cat or dog.
- Paimon: Hey, then you should call this place "The Saurian's Tail" instead!
- Iktomisaurus: ...♪
- (Talk to Diona again, optional)
-
- Diona: Huh, I think I've seen saurian-shaped cookies somewhere before too... Maybe I should bake some to sell around here?
- (Photograph the boar)
- Paimon: No one actually keeps animals here... do they?
- Paimon: Huh, weird. Did Mondstadters always raise boars around here?
- Amber: Found it! Barbara, over here!
- Barbara: Coming, coming! *sigh* How did this happen...?
- What's the matter?
- Amber: Barbara and I were just grabbing some food at Good Hunter.
- Amber: But then, uh... How do I even put this? The Sweet Madame and Sticky Honey Roast we ordered came to life!
- Paimon: S—Sorry, what?
- So, this boar... was the Sticky Honey Roast?
- Barbara: That's right. I managed to catch the Sweet Madame earlier.
- Amber: C'mon, let's wrangle this thing so we can head back and eat!
- Amber: ...Wait, what? Uh-oh!
- Barbara: What is it?
- Amber: More pigeons and forest boars! The rest of our lunch is making a break for it!
- (Photograph the Fatui tent where Lyudmila and Mikhail normally stand)
-
- Paimon: Wait... don't tell me they're living here now?
- Paimon: Huh, isn't this a Fatui tent? That shouldn't be here.
- Paimon: Wait, but there are always those two Fatui around here, chatting about stuff...
- Bennett: You've noticed them too? I've been watching them for a long time. Not that I've overheard anything useful...
- Bennett: Guess it's just my luck, haha.
- Mika: Well, actually, they seem to get information a bit slower than the Knights of Favonius... So, they usually end up discussing stuff that hasn't been secret in a long time.
- Paimon: Have you guys ever wondered why they don't just... go home? Their mission's gotta be over at this point, right?
- Yeah, I have no idea...
- Bennett: Maybe their names got skipped over on the mission roster, so they never got new orders? That's happened to me before.
- Mika: I suppose, but your experiences tend to be... quite unique.
- Mika: It's possible the Fatui stationed them here long-term to keep an eye on things. Or, maybe they volunteered for this position because they don't want to go back.
- Paimon: Either way, we should have Nicole take this tent down. It's making Paimon think we're gonna have to fight someone.
- True, and it's not like there's a treasure chest here either.
- Bennett: Haha, I guess you're right. We don't want people getting their hopes up.
- (Photograph the Hydro Mimic Finch on the bridge)
-
- Paimon: Now this... is not something to mess with...

III — Dawn Winery
Unlocks 2026-03-03 04:00
After traversing the world, you've come to realize that wine and wind share the same horizon.
Stage description
- Discrepancy Log
- A group of visitors has arrived at the entrance to the Dawn Winery...
- There's a magical creature under the tree to the north...
- There's a tent to the east of the winery that really catches the eye...
- The Crystalflies are flocking behind the winery, slightly to the side...
- A heavy device sits among the grapevines...
- Dialogue
- (Attempt to leave the map boundary, optional)
- Alice: How about we explore the area ahead of us later?
- (Photograph the group in front of the Dawn Winery)
-
- Paimon: Can't believe they're all here!
- (Talk to Arnold, Esnoir, Rozel, or Water Droplet, optional)
- Arnold: Such a succulent fragrance of grapes... Ah, this place is heaven! Had I a mouth that could move, I doubt I could resist eating them right off the vine!
- Water Droplet: This is awesome!
- Rozel: Whoever lives in here must be a person of means indeed. Even in a storybook world like Simulanka, we could never afford such a big estate.
- Esnoir: Wait, but this is a world inside a story too, isn't it? Oh, hello. Is something wrong?
- Noelle: My apologies. But the event taking place at Dawn Winery is not open to the public quite yet. Allow me to show you around a different area.
- Rozel: Ah, I see... That's unfortunate.
- Paimon: Oh, it's Noelle! Hey there!
- Noelle: Ah, hello, you two.
- How'd you come to be stationed here?
- Noelle: Miss Alice thought things might get complicated around here, so she said she needed someone capable who could get the job done.
- Paimon: So she... flattered her way into dumping a bunch of work on you? Stuff that isn't even related to the Knights at all?
- Noelle: Oh, no no. Mr. Diluc was there too. He said he would appreciate some help guiding the tour groups from different worlds that are here to visit.
- Paimon: Tour groups from different worlds? Oh, right... The Golden Apple Archipelago, the Veluriyam Mirage, Simulanka... The gang's all here.
- She really put you to work, huh.
- Noelle: It's alright. I'm happy to help!
- (Talk to Noelle, optional)
- Noelle: Please head this way, everyone, and we'll get the tour started...
- Arnold: Greetings. My name is Ask-Me-For-Directions Arnold, and I am searching for the whereabouts of a certain lovely lady...
- (Photograph the Tent Tortoise)
-
- Paimon: It can't have made its way here from the desert, can it...?
- Paimon: A Tent Tortoise? That shouldn't be here at all!
- Rosaria: Definitely not.
- (Talk to Dahlia or Rosaria by the nearby cart, optional)
- Dahlia: Wow, I've never seen such a large turtle in my life.
- Dahlia: There was a time, back when I was little, when almost every child in Mondstadt had a turtle as a pet. It was quite the trend.
- Paimon: Oh yeah! Jean and Diluc mentioned that a long time ago.
- Dahlia: I had one too, of course.
- Rosaria: Quite the hassle to take care of — small pets like that always are.
- Paimon: W—Wait, you had one too?
- Rosaria: Is that so strange?
- Paimon: Oh, uh... No, of course not!
- What should we do with this Tent Tortoise?
- Dahlia: I could bring it back to the Church and raise it. It can stay behind the Cathedral — I'll even build it a pool.
- Dahlia: Can't be too hard to raise, right? It looks like a tough cookie.
- Rosaria: ...Not happening. The next thing you know, you'll have an invasive species on your hands.
- Rosaria: Just tell that mage to put it back where she found it.
- Paimon: Guess that's for the best...
- (Talk to Dahlia or Rosaria again, optional)
- Dahlia: Can't be too hard to raise, right? It looks like a tough cookie.
- Rosaria: ...Not happening. The next thing you know, you'll have an invasive species on your hands.
- (Photograph the Dodoco-themed tent)
-
- Paimon: Feels like I can smell the sea again.
- Paimon: Another tent?
- Paimon: Huh, this one's kinda nostalgic too.
- Diluc: It's here because I refused to let that mage use my house as her playground.
- Diluc: But, we still needed an additional rest area for the guests, so we set up this tent instead.
- Kaeya: Hmm... Looks like we can use this device to keep in touch with the mages or get some hints... Kinda like we were able to do back then, remember?
- Diluc: Now that you mention it, the arrangement is almost identical.
- Kaeya: Knights on vacation, summer, the sea, and a small little Waverider. Hehe, it's all taking me back.
- Diluc: However, you're forgetting about the part where we were stranded on a deserted island and couldn't even make it across the water. That's what stuck with me the most.
- Kaeya: Oh, I remember. At least I wasn't dead weight in that situation.
- Paimon: Uh, fun times, huh... So, the mages prepared this stuff, then? Guess we should take a picture and go check in with them.
- Diluc: Be my guest.
- Kaeya: You know, the expedition in Nod-Krai is coming to an end, but knowing Grand Master Varka... I imagine there will be another chance to set off in the near future.
- Kaeya: Ahem, not that I'm extending an invitation. I'm just... mentioning the possibility, that's all.
- Count me in.
- Kaeya: Hehe, that's our Honorary Knight! No matter the mission, you always have a place among our ranks.
- Diluc: Come talk to me when you do have an official invitation, then. I have other things to do in the meantime.
- Diluc: The intel I have on hand is pulling me in a hundred different directions, but unfortunately, "time off" isn't one of them.
- (Photograph the Crystalfly Trap)
-
- Paimon: Someone's catching Crystalflies here, huh? Smart move!
- (Talk to "Apocalypse" or "Cataclysm", optional)
- "Cataclysm": I heard this thing was terribly ineffective when first invented. You could only catch ten in a week — why, the research staff barely wanted to touch it, let alone improve it.
- "Apocalypse": But for some reason, it gained traction among adventurers once it entered the market.
- "Cataclysm": True. It takes time, it beats having to do it yourself, I suppose.
- "Apocalypse": But there are so many Crystalflies around here. Surely it's not that difficult to just do it the old-fashioned way?
- "Cataclysm": It's a bit far, though. Just imagine how tiresome it was back in the day, having to come out here over and over again, and no gadget to help.
- "Cataclysm": ...Does that count as trespassing on private property, I wonder?
- "Apocalypse": I suppose it hardly matters anymore. Adventurers aren't quite so keen on Crystalflies nowadays.
- "Cataclysm": The times they are a-changin'.
- "Apocalypse": So it would seem, yes.[Note 1]
- Paimon: What are they mumbling about?
- Beats me.
- (Talk to "Apocalypse" or "Cataclysm" again, optional)
- "Cataclysm": The times they are a-changin'.
- "Apocalypse": So it would seem, yes.
- (Photograph the Elemental Crucible)
-
- Paimon: Obviously, this isn't used for making wine...
- Sucrose: There you are... I've been looking everywhere for you.
- (Talk to Sucrose by the Elemental Crucible, optional)
- Paimon: Something wrong, Sucrose?
- Sucrose: Oh, no. I was just looking for a piece of alchemy equipment we needed for the event.
- Sucrose: Master Albedo has always been careful with our costs. We maximize the use of every piece of lab equipment we have. So, if something hasn't been used in a while, it's usually pretty old.
- Sucrose: Take this, for example. We've used it a few times before, but we found the effectiveness and ease of use somewhat lacking, so it was sidelined quite quickly.
- Sucrose: According to the mages, it was meant to be placed in the city, but it went missing after being tossed into the magic bubble.
- Sucrose: Luckily, I found it... I just don't know why it ended up here of all places.
- Paimon: Well, all that matters is that you found it in the end, right? We'll contact Nicole and get her to send it back to the right spot.
- Sucrose: Great! Thank you so much!
- (Talk to Sucrose again, optional)
- Sucrose: At least I managed to track it down...

Trivia
- In III — Dawn Winery, Rosaria is wearing Executor's Thorns, her original outfit. It is unclear why she is not wearing To the Church's Free Spirit, her default outfit as an NPC starting with Version 2.5.
