Dialogue
Quest DescriptionWitch's Homework was born from discussions between Varka and the witches. The task assigned to Varka himself appears to be...
- (Approach the marked location in Mondstadt City)
- Paimon: Y'know, since it was Varka who came up with the whole idea of holding a "conference" with the Hexenzirkel, how come we never found out what task they gave him?
- Paimon: Let's see... Varka, Varka... Wait, why's it blank?
Why don't we just go ask him ourselves?- Paimon: Good point... Well, knowing what he's like, we'd better start by checking all the local taverns and restaurants...
- (The Traveler and Paimon hear a familiar voice as they walk past the Good Hunter)
- Varka: ...Still not here, huh? Looks like I'll have to figure this out on my own.
- Speak of the devil, huh?
- Paimon: Hey, Varka! We wanted to ask you about your "task"...
- Varka: Oh, hey there, Honorary Knight and Paimon! My "task"...? What's all this about?
- The Hexenzirkel have set tasks for everyone...
- But yours seems to be blank.
- Varka: Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure Alice did tell me something about that... I think?
- Paimon: You "think"? That "conference" of yours is why those "tasks" even exist in the first place! ...Ugh, anyway, why *is* yours blank?
- Varka: ...If I had to take a wild guess, probably 'cause it'd be too much for that little book of theirs to handle.
- Now I'm listening.
- How "much" are we talking?
- Varka: My task... is to make the finest wine Teyvat has ever seen.
- Paimon: ...How's that "too much"!?
- Varka: Trust me, this is serious business... See this new scar on my arm? That's what it cost me just to get my hands on the recipe.
- Varka: There I was, venturing into a deep, dark Domain, battling some of the fiercest, most vicious monsters I've ever seen...
- Seriously...?
- Varka: Now we're just three special ingredients short of finishing this thing! Honorary Knight, Paimon, would you be willing to lend me a hand?
- Paimon: Ugh, fine, why not... Since it's only three things, Paimon's just gonna pretend she buys your story.
- Varka: Alright! Hehe... So, we still need "wood chips struck by knights," "pigeon feathers shed in joy," and "medicinal broth brewed in a large cauldron."
- Paimon: Wait a sec... Weren't we supposed to be making "wine"? This sounds like some kind of super suspicious potion!
- Varka: Hmm, good point... Well, our taskmasters are a bunch of mages, after all!
- Varka: We're following the recipe to the letter, so all three ingredients must adhere to their requirements. C'mon, let's get started with those wood chips!
- (Approach Ellin at the Knights of Favonius training grounds)
- Paimon: So this is where we'll be getting those "wood chips struck by knights," huh...
- Ellin: Ah! Grand Master! Honorary Knight! Are you here to train as well?
- Varka: Well, maybe not in a traditional sense... But we're here to pursue a goal, so I guess that counts too!
- Ellin: You're already so skilled, yet you still strive for perfection... Please, train however you like! I'll be taking notes from the side!
- (Talk to Ellin, optional)
- Ellin: The training ground's all yours. Oh, to witness a pair of top masters in action... What luck!
- (If the player fails to destroy the training dummies in time)
- Varka: Hmm... No, we're not quite getting the quality I saw that day... Let's try again.
- (This step resets)
- (After destroying all of the training dummies)
- Ellin brings out new wooden dummies...
- (Ellin brings out one massive training dummy)
- Paimon: Paimon had no idea the Knights of Favonius had training dummies this huge!
- Ellin: My father made this as a special collector's edition! I'm sure it'll prove worthy of your skills!
- Varka: Haha, then let's give it a shot!
- (After destroying the large training dummy)
- Ellin: Amazing! So THAT's how you do it...
- Paimon: Ugh... Why does Paimon feel like she's heard that reaction like a hundred times before...
- (Varka kneels and picks up some wood chips)
- Varka: Hmm... Yep, this'll do! The shape, the texture, the quality... brilliant.
- Paimon: How you can tell one wood chip apart from another is beyond Paimon... Whatever, as long as you're happy. Next up, those "pigeon feathers shed in joy"...
- (Approach Timmie on the Mondstadt bridge)
- Timmie: Hey! You've scared off all the pigeons...
- Timmie: ...G—Grand Master?
- Varka: Hey, if it isn't little Timmie! Grown up quite a bit, haven't you? Been eating well?
- Timmie: Y—Yes Sir! I always remember what you told me — that I've gotta eat well and exercise hard if I wanna grow up big and strong!
- This kid's attitude...
- It changed in a heartbeat!
- Paimon: Well, guess that's the Varka effect... Honestly, Paimon would be shocked if there was a single kid in this city who didn't look up to our "living legend" over here!
- Varka: Sorry for scaring your pigeons away.
- Varka: I was actually gonna ask... Is there a way to approach pigeons without spooking them... while keeping them happy at the same time?
- Timmie: Hmm... To be honest, I usually just walk up to them quietly and scatter some feed...
- Varka: Boom, that's it! Say, you got any extra feed on you right now?
- Timmie: I do have quite a bit, but... Grand Master... Um... What are you planning to do...?
- Varka: Don't worry, little man, we just need to borrow a feather or two... You have my word!
- Timmie: Ah... Alright then, no problem! And thank you, Grand Master!
- (Approach the marked location at Windrise)
- Varka: Looks like we've got ourselves some pigeon tracks. Let's wait here.
- Varka: When they appear, walk up to them quietly and scatter the feed... but make sure not to hurt them. Ready?
- We're ready.
- Give me a moment...
- (If the player startles the pigeons while scattering the feed)
- Varka: Hey, you scared 'em away! Guess we'll have to wait for them to come back now...
- (This step resets)
- (After successfully scattering the feed)
-
- (As a White Pigeon cautiously approaches the feed, Varka and the Traveler give each other a nod)
- (Varka lunges towards the pigeon, quickly catching it and plucking off a few feathers)
- Pigeon: Coo...
- Varka: Got 'em! The feathers are in the bag — I repeat, the feathers are in the bag.
- Paimon: Finally! This task really is harder than Paimon thought...
- Varka: Just one more ingredient to go... "Medicinal broth brewed in a large cauldron." That's gotta be Dadaupa Gorge.
- Varka: I'll head over there right away. Follow whenever you can, alright?
- (Varka sprints away with astonishing speed)
- Paimon: Hey, wait a—! Geez, talk about excited... That guy just took off faster than a flock of flustered pigeons...
- Classic "free as the wind" mentality...
- Bet he can barely wait for the drinks to start flowing.
- Diona: ...That old boozehound!
- (The Traveler and Paimon turn towards the unexpected voice)
- Hmm? Who was that?
- (Diona pops out of a nearby bush)
- Diona: Ah!
- Paimon: Diona? What are you doing here? And why were you hiding...?
- Diona: I... I'm only here to pick some fruit, I swear! Just didn't expect I'd run into that piece of work all the way out here...
- Diona: Ugh, he's been bugging me non-stop lately, trying to talk me into making him some drink again. I got so sick of it that I've been avoiding him whenever I can...
- What's the story behind this drink, then?
- Diona: So, you know how he returned recently with some of the expeditionary force, right? Well, guess what? Practically the first thing he did was swing by The Cat's Tail for a celebratory "drink or two"...
- Paimon: Seriously? Paimon thought they'd have just stayed back at the Knights of Favonius headquarters...
- Always had Varka down as more of an Angel's Share kinda guy myself...
- Diona: Ugh... Hence why I said "practically." They did all that, and more! The Cat's Tail was round three of a citywide tavern crawl...
- Paimon: ...And Paimon bets they'll do it all over again the next time another batch of troops returns home.
- No doubt about that.
- Diona: Anyhoo, long story short, I couldn't bear the sight of those drunk old skunks for even one second longer! So I made it my mission to mix 'em the most disgusting, nauseating drinks in all of Teyvat...
- But, Diona...
- You couldn't make a bad drink even if you tried.
- Diona: Yeah... So that's why I tried to get Prince to mix the drinks instead. Ugh, if only those drunkards hadn't started messin' with his meowjo...
- Diona: ...In the end, Prince ran off before he could finish. 'Least he gave that old boozer a nice big scratch on the way out! Hahahaha!
- (Traveler): (Ahh, so that's how Varka got his scar...)
- (The Traveler thinks back to Varka's words)
- Varka: There I was, venturing into a deep, dark Domain, battling some of the fiercest, most vicious monsters I've ever seen...
- Diona: Anyway, it was right there in front of me, one small step away from completion...
- ...So you applied the finishing touches yourself?
- Diona: Yeah.
- Just out of curiosity, let me ask one more thing...
- What did you put in there?
- Diona: Um... Some wood chips I noticed on the knights' clothes, some pigeon feathers I picked up in the forest...
- Diona: ...And some of the hilichurl herbal soup I was planning to turn into a remedy for sobering up.
- Paimon: Wait a sec... You said this all happened not long after Varka first got back, right? That must mean...
- No one's told him...
- ...That only Diona herself could make such an awful recipe taste good!
- Paimon: Uh-oh, this could be bad! We've gotta go stop him before it's too late!
- (Talk to Diona, optional)
- Diona: The old boozebrain will be okay, though, won't he?
- (Approach Ella Musk near the big pot in Dadaupa Gorge)
- Ella Musk: Unbelievable... Since when were hilichurls so amenable to reason?
- Paimon: Ella! You haven't seen Varka around here, have you!?
- Ella Musk: As a matter of fact, yes I have. Just now, he went off to borrow a "large cauldron" from the hilichurls... and get this — they gave it up as soon as they saw him!
- (A flashback shows the hilichurls quaking in fear)
- Ella Musk: The weirdest thing was, they barely exchanged any words at all. I just don't understand how it all went so smoothly... Could the Grand Master know some hilichurl body language that I'm unaware of?
- I don't think that was "communication"...
- At least, not in any recognizable language — body or otherwise...
- Paimon: Ugh, that's not the point here! Anyway, where is he now?
- Ella Musk: Right over there.
- Varka: Finally, it's done! The finest wine in all of Teyvat... Right here, in my hands!
- (Varka raises his mug in triumph)
- Varka! Don't—
- Varka: Oh, hey gang — you finally made it! Those hilichurls just now were surprisingly reasonable... Didn't expect this to go half so smoothly, hah.
- Varka: Anyway, time to find out what this bad boy tastes like!
- ...Wait, don't drink it!
- Varka: Huh? You wanna taste it first? Hehe, dream on, kid... The honor of the first cup's mine!
- That's not what I'm—
- Varka: Don't worry! I'll leave some for ya!
- Varka: *chug* *chug* Ahhh... Hrrgh?
- Varka: Hold up... Why do I feel... so bad...
- (Varka collapses to the ground)
- Paimon: Varka! Are you okay? Varka? Varkaaa!
- Grand Master!
- C'mon dude, get a hold of yourself!
- Paimon: Come on! You didn't defeat a god just to bite the dust here!
- Varka: Ugh... Agh...
- (Varka gets up groggily)
- Varka: ...For a moment there, I could've sworn I saw all the previous Knights of Boreas standing right here in front of me...
- I don't know if I should chew you out for ending up like this...
- Or marvel that you're still standing at all...?
- Varka: Either way, I need a moment to digest it all... both the drink, and the lesson too.
- You give Varka the rundown on Diona's infallible knack for mixing drinks.
"In other words," you tell him, "only she could turn such strange ingredients into top-rate liquor..." - Varka: Aha, so the missing ingredient was actually the spring fairy's blessing... Haha, never would've guessed!
- Paimon: Hey, don't you act all innocent! You still owe us one for trying to pull the wool over our eyes!
- Varka: Sorry, sorry... Truth is, though, I genuinely believed it would work — and I was even planning to come clean over a drink or two afterwards, anyway...
- Varka: But I guess... you probably don't wanna drink it anymore, do you?
- I think... I'll pass.
- Not sure if I've got that kinda courage.
- Varka: Hmm... Well, guess I owe you one! How about this — I'll treat you to a meal at the Good Hunter once we're back.
- Paimon: Now that's more like it!
- You're way too easy to bribe...
- Paimon: Oh, c'mon! You saw what a state he was in after he downed that cup. Paimon's sure he's learned his lesson!
- Varka: *sigh* Guess I have no one to blame but myself, huh...
- Aaaanyway... Back to the subject of your "task."
- Why is it blank?
- Varka: Haha, well... I was gonna save that story for the tavern, but I guess the open air will have to do.
- (A flashback begins)
- Varka: ...So you're giving "tasks" to everyone in Mondstadt, huh? Interesting idea... Do I get one, too?
- Alice: Hah! Well, if you really must know, yours was to "change the fate reflected in the scryglass." But you already did that quite some time ago — the moment you decided to set off on your expedition, to be precise.
- (The flashback ends)
- (The player is teleported back to Mondstadt City)
-
- (Quest completes)
- (Talk to Sara at the Good Hunter, optional)
- Sara: Welcome to Good Hunter. How can I help you?
- Varka said it's his treat...
- Sara: That's right. He's arranged everything. These dishes have been prepared specially for you, so please enjoy your meal!
