Dialogue
Quest DescriptionYou catch sight of Columbina in the distance on a deserted island on the east side of Piramida. Worried that your friend has encountered trouble, you chase after her, and in so doing, embark on an adventure into the unknown...
- (Approach the Statue of the Seven)
- Paimon: We've never been here before. Where is this, exactly?
- Paimon: Huh? Look! That person over there...
Columbina?- Paimon: Why's she here? Paimon thought she'd be at Silvermoon Hall...
- Paimon: Heh, funny how life works sometimes. Let's go over and say hi!
- (Approach Columbina)
- Paimon: Hey! Columbina! Where are you going!?
- Paimon: Agh, she's gone too far out. She can't hear us.
- Paimon: But what's she doing here? Does she have something to do?
- Let's follow her and take a look.
- Paimon: Yeah. Paimon doesn't think she'll run into any trouble, but better safe than sorry.
- Paimon: Let's go!
- (While riding the Moonlane)
- Paimon: Look! Is that an island up ahead?
- (After landing on the island)
- Paimon: Well, whaddya know, there really is a lil' island here... Could this have been Columbina's destination?
- Paimon: Let's have a look around. Hopefully, we'll find her soon.
- (Approach the kuuhenki)
- Paimon: Where are those kuuhenki going?
- Paimon: Do you think they saw Columbina? Come on, let's follow them!
- (Approach the huge pit filled with water)
- Paimon: Wow, there's a pretty little lake if Paimon's ever seen one.
- (Follow the kuuhenki)
- (Interact with the Edict Module, optional)
- Dunanna Forward Station
- (Continue following the kuuhenki)
- (Approach the Secret Source Automaton: Hunter-Seeker)
- Paimon: Whoa! This... looks like one of the dragons' Secret Source Automatons! Could this place have something to do with them?
- (Approach the hole in the ground)
- Paimon: Look! There's an entrance leading down here... Should we go down and check it out?
- (Jump into the hole and arrive at the botton)
- Paimon: Hmm. Why do these rocks look kinda... floaty?
- (Continue onwards)
- Paimon: There's tons of broken machines in here... and none of them are ones we've ever seen before, either...
- (Approach the Edict Module)
Celestial Orbit Computation Chamber
- (Approach the rocks)
- Paimon: It's those floating rocks again! Do you think we can push them out of the way?
- (Tooltip)
- Push the floating rocks
- (Enter the central room)
- Paimon: This place looks like some sort of ruins...[Note 1]
- Paimon: Huh. What are those rings? Looks like they've fallen onto the ground or something.
- Some kinda device, I'd say.
- Paimon: Is that so? In that case, could this glowing sign next to it... be a manual, maybe?
- Paimon: Let Paimon see...
- Alert! Alert!
- Paimon: Oh, darn it! Paimon triggered some kinda intruder alarm!
- Alert! Alert!
- Power transmission has ceased. Please head to the generator room to activate backup power!
- Paimon: Oh, so it's just out of power! Gah, Paimon almost jumped outta her skin!
- Reminds me of you when you're hungry, you know?
- Paimon: What? C—C'mon, Paimon's way classier than that!
- Let's go check this generator room out first.
- Paimon: You mean...
- Paimon: Ohh, right! If Columbina came here to do something, she'd totally need to turn on the power first.
- Right, and we might find her there.
- Paimon: Haha, genius!
- Paimon: Alrighty then! Let's go!
- (Investigate the broken machine part on the stairs)
- Paimon: Seems like this thing's gone kaput.
- (Enter the generator room)
- Paimon: This must be the generator room.
- (Approach the Backup Power Generator)
- Paimon: Huh. This thing... doesn't really look very mechanical, but given where we found it, it must be the key to getting the power on somehow.
- Paimon: But Paimon doesn't see how that's supposed to work...
- It doesn't look like the power's been turned on yet.
- Paimon: Yeah, and that's super weird. Do you think Columbina's already been here? Maybe she discovered that the power wouldn't start, and went to look for a solution elsewhere?
- Paimon: Hmm. Y'know what? Let's give this thing a try anyway. Maybe we can find out what's going on...
- (Try to activate the Backup Power Generator)
- Energy system not responding
- Paimon: Huh? Why isn't anything happening?
- It won't start.
- There's no response.
- Paimon: Paimon guessed as much... There's gotta be something else to this. Columbina must have run into this problem and then gone to look somewhere else... Huh!?
- Paimon: C—Columbina!? Thank goodness, we finally found you!
- Paimon: Hehe... Surprised to see us? We were worried you might be in trouble, so we followed you here.
- Do you need help, Columbina?
- Columbina: ?
- Paimon: Huh?
- Columbina: ?
- Paimon: Erm...
- Columbina: ?
- Paimon: ...What's wrong? Are you trying to use telepathy, like Nicole? Just so you know, we aren't hearing anything!
- Are you alright?
- Columbina: ...
- Paimon: Okay, now you're starting to worry Paimon...
- Paimon: Is someone threatening you!? If that's the case, just blink...
- Columbina: ...
- (Columbina bestows the Traveler with some kind of power)
- Paimon: Huh? What did you do?
- (Columbina points at the generator)
-
- (A tutorial is unlocked)
- Archaeolune Energy and Archaeolune Ripples
A mysterious type of ancient moon energy that has similar effects to kuuvahki. It can change how objects may be acted upon. Characters who absorb an object filled with Archaeolune Energy will enter the Moonvein Suffusion state.
Moonvein Suffusion will make your body feel lighter and increase your jump height. You can also use Archaeolune Ripples while jumping.
Tap Attack to unleash Archaeolune Ripples. Tap to cast it on the spot, and hold to aim and unleash. Tap again after firing to detonate the Ripples and inflict damage on objects in the explosion AoE. This will also affect the gravity acting on affected objects that are in the Moonvein Suffusion state. To exit the state, tap the Elemental Burst button.
- Paimon: Do you want us to activate this?
- Paimon: Paimon's not sure what's going on, but it looks like Columbina wants us to activate this device. We should give it another try!
- (After the dialogue)
- Paimon: You can use the power Columbina just gave you to activate this thing, right?
- (Tooltip)
- Press or hold to release Archaeolune Ripples
- (Fire Archaeolune Ripples at the Backup Power Generator)
-
- (The generator activates)
- Paimon: Ooh! The device reacted this time!
- (The camera pans to show the broken Archaeolune Energy Pathway)
- Paimon: But these things on the ground... They're for transferring energy, right? We gotta figure out a way to get them flowing again.
- (Fire Archaeolune Ripples at the Ancient Moon Pearl on the pathway)
-
- (The pearl floats upwards clearing the pathway)
- (Tooltip)
- Stand on the pipe to stabilize it
- (After stabilizing the pathway)
- Paimon: Awesome! The energy channels are clear! How did you do that, Columbina?
- Columbina: ...
- Paimon: Wait! Where are you going?
- Columbina: ...
- Paimon: We'd better catch up with her.
- (Enter the main hall)
- Paimon: Look! The three rings that fell to the ground... Wow, they look pretty fancy now, don't they?
- Paimon: It's like going out for a bit and coming back to find your little house has suddenly turned into the Dawn Winery!
- (Approach Columbina in front of the Terminal)
- Celestial Orbit: Calculating celestial orbits. Please select the Trilune coordinates you wish to view.
- Paimon: Trilune coordinates!?
- Paimon: Wait, so this device is used to work out where the moons are?
- Celestial Orbit: Calculating celestial orbits. Please select the Trilune coordinates you wish to view.
- "Eternal Moon"
- Celestial Orbit: Connection lost... Failed to locate target...
- (Dialogue returns to option selection)

- Celestial Orbit:
- Paimon: Whoa, it actually found the Frost Moon... But why would they need those coordinates anyways?
- (Obtain
Paimon's Notes) - Celestial Orbit: Frost Moon coordinates located. Base engineering blueprints and Main Control Hall route map have been transmitted.
- Paimon: Ooh! These look like schematics! Whatever these are showing, it looks super awesome!
- Celestial Orbit: Do you wish to obtain the route map?
- (Obtain route map)
- (The map opens and focuses on the lower map level)
- Please proceed to the Main Control Hall for moon landing preparations.
- Paimon: M—Moon landing preparations!?
- Paimon: Columbina... is this place used for getting to the moon!?
- (Traveler): (But Columbina has taken me to the Frost Moon before... Why would she need this device?)
- (Traveler): (And the power she just gave me is completely new. I've never seen her use it before...)
- Columbina: ...
- (Columbina opens the door)
-
- Paimon: Oh! The door opened! This leads to the Main Control Hall, right? Columbina, is that where you want us to go?
- Columbina: ...
- (Traveler): Columbina, can you hold out your hand?
- Columbina: ?
- (Traveler): Place it in mine, just like we do in Silvermoon Hall.
- Columbina: ...
- (Columbina hovers her hand over the Traveler's, and a glowing power passes between them)
- Paimon: What's all this about?
- Columbina: !
- (Columbina transforms into a black kuuhenki)
-
- Paimon: Waaah! What's going on? Columbina turned into a black kuuhenki!
- (Traveler): That's not Columbina!
- Paimon: What!? An impostor!?
- (Traveler): Let's go after her!
- (After the dialogue)
- Paimon: What's going on!? Why did that black kuuhenki look just like Columbina!?
- Paimon: We gotta hurry up and catch it!
- (Activate the lift)
- Paimon: What's that? Looks like something we saw in the blueprint just now.
- (The camera zooms in on the fleeing kuuhenki)
- Paimon: Look! There's the kuuhenki over there!
- (Pursue the kuuhenki and get noticed by a Transmission Module)
- Intruder detected. Initiating alert!
- Paimon: It thinks we're intruders!? Did that black kuuhenki do this!?
- Paimon: (Traveler), watch out!
- (Approach the red Edict Module, optional)
- Intruder detected! Intruder detected!
- (Continue onward to an area with a broken bridge)
- (Another Transmission Module is targeting the Traveler)
- Paimon: We're being targeted again! Take cover on the left!
- (The black kuuhenki floats through the door that closes behind it)
- Paimon: Look! She's ducked behind the door!
- (Tooltip)
- Hold to launch Archaeolune Ripples. Press again to detonate the ripples, making objects within its range weightless.
- (Fire Archaeolune Ripples at the Backup Power Generator)
- (Go through the door)
- Paimon: Where are we now? That kuuhenki must've come in here, right?
- (The black kuuhenki floats upwards through an opening in the ceiling)
- (Approach the Edict Module, optional)
- Lunar Gravity Simulation
- (Activate the Gravimeter)
- Lunar Gravity Simulation activated
- (Jump up onto the floating elevator platform)
- Paimon: Whoa! What's going on? How did you manage to jump so high!?
- (Deactivate the Gravimeter)
- Lunar Gravity Simulation deactivated
- Paimon: Everything's back to normal... Was it simulating the moon's gravity just now? Looks like they really were preparing for a moon landing.
- (Enter the Main Control Hall)
- Paimon: According to the route map, this should be the Main Control Hall, right?
- Paimon: Hey! You! The one pretending to be Columbina! Come out right now!
- Main Control Terminal: Alert! Intruder detected in Main Control Hall. Activating defense measures.
- Paimon: Wah! Sorry! Wrong address, we were looking for someone else!
- (A Precursor's Secret Source Matrix of Overseer Network spawns)
- (After defeating the enemy)
- Paimon: Phew... It was no problem for you in the end! That should take care of things, right?
- Main Control Terminal: Alert! Main Control Hall Defender Core destruction confirmed. Initiating self-destruct mode.
- Main Control Terminal: All personnel, please evacuate immediately. Initiating countdown...
- Paimon: Seriously!? This base has gone crazy! It's trying to take us down with it... What should we do?
- Paimon: What if some really important intel gets destroyed!?
- Main Control Terminal: Please verify orbital coordinates.
- Paimon: Huh? What orbital coordinates? Whoa! Our mystery kuuhenki's back!
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: !
- Paimon: What are you doing? Will giving it the coordinates stop the base from self-destructing!?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: !!!
- Paimon: What are the coordinates? Don't panic, don't panic, let Paimon think!
- Main Control Terminal: Please verify orbital coordinates.
- Paimon: Paimon remembers now... There were three symbols! The simplest-looking one was first!
-
- Paimon: Oh no! It's too late!
- You fail to stop the self-destruct sequence, and as the countdown ends, the base is engulfed in roaring flames.
The good news is you manage to escape the explosion unscathed with Paimon in tow.
But alas, the mysterious black kuuhenki, the spaceship bound for the moon, and the tale behind them all vanish from your journey forever.
-
- Paimon: The second symbol had a super complicated shape!
-
- Paimon: Oh no! It's too late!
- You fail to stop the self-destruct sequence, and as the countdown ends, the base is engulfed in roaring flames.
The good news is you manage to escape the explosion unscathed with Paimon in tow.

-
- Paimon: And lastly... Paimon can't quite remember, but it was probably the same as the second one!
-
- System Voice: Orbital coordinate verification: Successful. Engine ignition in progress. Please board the lunar spacecraft immediately.
- Paimon: Did we make it? Why's the alarm still going off!?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: ...Colum—
- Paimon: Was it you talking just now? Hey! Were you about to say "Columbina"?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: ...The moon...
- Paimon: On the moon? What... Has something happened to her?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: ...Rescue...
- Paimon: Rescue!? Is she asking us to go save Columbina!?
- Is Columbina in trouble?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: ...Spaceship... Moon...
- Paimon: Take the spaceship? To the moon? Hey! Explain yourself!
- Paimon: What are we gonna do?! It feels like this place is gonna blow up any second!
- There's no time. Let's go with it to the spaceship.
-
- Paimon: Oh no! It's too late!
- You fail to stop the self-destruct sequence, and as the countdown ends, the base is engulfed in roaring flames.

-
- Main Control Terminal: Orbital coordinate verification error.
- Paimon: Oh no! Did Paimon get the last one wrong? Okay. Don't panic, don't panic! Let's try again, real quick!
- Main Control Terminal: Please re-verify orbital coordinates.
- Paimon: One more time! First up, the simplest symbol!
-

- Mysterious Kuuhenki: It's
- Paimon: Ooh! Yes, yes! . That's the one! Wait. Who said that...? Ah, whatever! Let's punch it in!

- (Start the elevator)
- Paimon: This is bad... We still don't really know what's going on...
- (Traveler): But if Columbina is calling for help, the spaceship's our only chance...
- Paimon: ...You're right. And if this base blows up, we won't get another shot at going to the moon to rescue her.
- Paimon: Paimon guesses we'll just have to take a chance!
- (Enter the shuttle)
- (A cinematic plays)
-
- (Cinematic ends)
- Paimon: Whoa, we blasted off for real! Paimon was expecting a regular ol' vanilla adventure... but here we are flying to the moon!
- Paimon: Hey! You! Tell us what's going on, will ya!? What sort of trouble has Columbina gotten into?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: ?
- Paimon: Seriously? Playing dumb again!?
- Say something, or I'll throw you into space.
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: !
- Paimon: We definitely heard you speak just now, right? No, wait... You spoke through the base's systems, didn't you?
- Can't you speak yourself?
- Paimon: Huh, that's weird...
- Paimon: Then how about... we take a look around this ship? Let's see if we can find something to help you talk.
- (Investigate any of the openings on the floor)
- Paimon: What's this? Let Paimon take a look... Hmm, looks pretty spacious... Ooh! Could this be some sorta escape pod?
- (Investigate another one of the openings on the floor)
- Paimon: Huh? Is this escape pod broken?
- Paimon: There's something glowing inside!
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: !
- Paimon: Huh? She's here too? Does that mean there's something useful inside? But how do we get it out?
- While you think, the kuuhenki slips into the escape pod. A moment later, she returns — carrying an item.
- Paimon: What is that?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: It's the spaceship's... archaeolune spectrometer...
- Paimon: Whoa, is that your voice? You can talk through this thing?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Mmhmm... Power of the ancient moons... transmit messages...
- Paimon: Huh? That sounds a lot like Phlogiston... Could this be dragon technology?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Not...
- Paimon: Do you mean "no"?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: No... Not wrong...
- Paimon: ...Why do you pant so much when you talk?
- It looks like the base and the spaceship were made by the dragons.
- Paimon: No wonder we ran into their Secret Source Automatons back there!
- Paimon: But what does this all have to do with Columbina? Why did you turn into her?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Columbina... Moon... Rescue...
- Paimon: Did she run into trouble and send you to get help?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Not...
- Paimon: Not wrong?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Not right...
- Paimon: ...Can you... take it from the top and tell us the whole story? What exactly is going on?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Columbina... rescued me... on the moon...
- Paimon: Huh? She rescued you? So she hasn't sent us a plea for help?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: That's... right...
- Paimon: Then why did you tell us to get on this spaceship?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: I wanted to... go back to the moon...
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Not... you...
- Paimon: Oh no... In that case... what does that make us?
- People who came along of their own accord...
- Paimon: No, no, how could this happen? We're not that clueless, are we?
- Paimon: Hey, you! You're leaving something out, aren't you? You said Columbina rescued you. That means you were in danger!
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Not...
- Paimon: Not what this time? Not wrong? Not right?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Not... sure...
- Paimon: ...
- Paimon: ...Ugh, this is really starting to get on Paimon's nerves...
- Who are you?
- What... are you?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: I'm sorry... I'm not sure...
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: When I woke up... I was very weak... I forgot... many things...
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: She took me to... a place of healing...
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: It was called... Silvermoon Hall...
- Paimon: Oh? Did Columbina tell you to stay there and rest? Then why did you come here?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: ...I must... return to the moon...
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: ...There lies... my mission...
- Paimon: What mission?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: ...I forgot...
- Paimon: How could you forget something like that!?
- So your home is on the moon?
- Paimon: Oh, right! You keep talking about going back to the moon... So you're not a local kuuhenki from Teyvat?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Yes... I belong on... the moon...
- Paimon: Is Columbina there right now?
- Mysterious Kuuhenki: Yes... if... she hasn't left...
- Paimon: Well, that explains it! Paimon's got it all figured out now.
- Paimon: Columbina wasn't in trouble... She just picked this kuuhenki up while strolling around the moon and sent her to Silvermoon Hall.
- Paimon: But our girl's got a little problem... she either doesn't talk at all, or has to pant her way to the finish line...
- Paimon: And now the two of us have gone whoosh and flown right out of Teyvat, like a couple of silly Anemo Slimes hit by an arrow!
- That about sums it up...
- We're already in flight. Might as well make our peace with it.
- Paimon: Ugh... You tricked us, and that makes you a bad egg in Paimon's books! From now on, she's gonna call you, uhm... Eggie!
- Paimon: *sob*... Good Hunter, Wanmin Restaurant, Shimura's... Will we ever meet again?
- Eggie: ...I'm... sorry...
- Paimon: Hey, hey... Are those tears...? Uhm, maybe Paimon was a little too mean? Please don't cry...
- Paimon: Psst, Eggie! Paimon isn't really this upset! She's just pretending so that (Traveler) might buy her more snacks later on...
- Paimon: If you play along, we can split the snacks twenty-eighty... Alright?
- Eggie: Snacks?
- Paimon: Ahem! Anyway... Eggie, you're the one who made us think Columbina was in danger! There's no way we could have sat back and done nothing knowing a friend was in trouble.
- Paimon: So you have to take full responsibility for the situation we're in right now!
- We can head back once we find Columbina.
- Eggie: ...I can... help...
- Paimon: Hmm... Then it's settled! Let's make this a surprise visit for Columbina! Who knows, maybe she'll be really happy to have friends come and play with her!
- You cheered up quickly, hey, Paimon?
- Paimon: Ahem... Well. Paimon suddenly realized that we'll soon be famous as the first adventurers to set foot on the moon! One small step for us, one big step for Teyvat, right?
- Paimon: And don't you start saying you've already been! Columbina helped you cheat, so that doesn't count.

Trivia
- The name of the Precursor's Secret Source Matrix of Overseer Network in the Main Control Hall is derived from Anzû, a demon in several Mesopotamian religions. He was conceived by the cosmic freshwater ocean Abzu and mother Earth Mami, or as son of Siris. In Babylonian myths Anzû was depicted as a massive bird - also as an eagle with lion head - who can breathe fire and water.
