Gameplay Notes

If Hannelore's interaction is not saved for last, the minimum item requirements are reduced to Windrest Flower ×15 and Special Perfume: Wind's Breath ×3 as she will give 1 Special Perfume: Wind's Breath back to the player.
The player may be unable to interact with Hannelore for multiple reasons:
- If Hannelore is talking to Lohen and is not interactable, the player may try to teleport out and returning to her location to reset the encounter. This may potentially take multiple tries.
- If Hannelore is not at her usual location at all, she might be occupied in Lohen's story quest, Lepus Miles Chapter. The player must complete the first part of the quest before she reappears at her usual location.
The player can also give Leonore 1 Special Perfume: Wind's Breath to receive Millhaven's Morning Plate ×1, Hero's Wit ×2 and Mora ×21,500.

Dialogue

(Talk to Elsie)

Elsie: Ah! Excuse me! You, the golden-haired adventurer! Please wait a moment!

Do you need our help?

Elsie: Oh, no, it's nothing like that! I just wanted to ask if you happen to have a collection of poems about love.

I'm afraid I can't help. I have other things to attend to. Goodbye.

Elsie: No, no! I didn't mean for you to help. After all, if everyone asked a stranger for help every time something went wrong, nobody would ever dare travel!

Elsie: Ahem. I just wanted to ask if you happen to have a book of love poems.

Elsie: Look, I'm an incredible bard — maybe the most incredible in all of Mondstadt after Lord Barbatos himself! Seriously, I'm amazing!

Elsie: But there's Linus... that pesky bard never seems to admit I'm better! He shows up all the time, reciting poems at me nonstop! No matter how you look at it, he's obviously trying to one-up me.

Elsie: And the worst thing? Every single poem is about love and romance... things I've never even touched!

Elsie: So I'm taking matters into my own hands. I'm going to write a love poem so epic that Mondstadt will never forget it! That'll teach him what real talent is!

Elsie: Of course... since I've been dedicating all my time to the pursuit of truly great art, I haven't had a chance to experience love myself.

Elsie: So if you happen to have a poetry collection about love, please sell it to me! I just need to flip through them for a bit. Once I do, inspiration will start pouring in. With talent like mine, that's practically inevitable!

(Talk to Annick after gathering enough Windrest Flowers)

Annick: Hello there. Care to try my new fragrances?

I'd like to make a perfume...

Annick: Of course. If you would hand me the flowers, I'll take care of the blending.
(Exchange Windrest Flower ×20 for Special Perfume: Wind's Breath ×4)

(Talk to Frith)

Frith: Oh my... That fragrance... Hehe, it reminds me of an old friend. Come, don't stand so far away. Sit down and have a cup of hot tea.

Who's that "old friend", if I may ask?

Frith: Hehe... I supposed you could call her a friend.

Frith: It was a long time ago. Back then, I was still young, doing some... less-than-honorable business in Nod-Krai. I was the leader of a group of desperate souls, you might say.

Frith: We had a good run for a few years, until I crossed paths with a Treasure Hoarder named Katya.

Frith: She was about my age, claiming to "put an end to my evil deeds" out of nothing but hot blooded passion... She beat me seven or eight times, but never once took my life.

Frith: She told me that living outside the law couldn't last forever. If I stayed on this path, sooner or later, someone would take my life... if not her, then someone else.

Frith: She was right. So... I gave all my wealth to the kids in the Conch Gang and set out for an adventure at sea.

Frith: The rest of the story is nothing to speak of. I wonder if that woman is even still alive...

Frith: Heh, that perfume of yours certainly brought back memories of her.

(Send the fragrance forth.)

(Hand over Special Perfume: Wind's Breath ×1)

Frith: Hehe... well, I won't turn that down. Thank you, generous guest.

Frith: Now this scent... crisp and bright, with a bit of stubborn bite to it... Just like that girl.

Frith: Still, I can't very well accept your gift and leave it at that. I'm only a simple restaurant owner, so it's nothing rare, but please take it.

(Obtain The Song of Ay-Khanoum, Hero's Wit ×2, and Mora ×21,500)

(Talk to Genna)

Genna: Excuse me... Is that Pluie Lotus you're wearing?

Pluie Lotus?

Genna: Ah... well. My assignment away from home is almost over, and our wedding anniversary is coming up.

Genna: But I still haven't chosen a gift for my wife... She's from Fontaine, so I thought perhaps something related to Fontaine would suit her.

Genna: I remember a Fontaine playwright named Coppelius once said, "Scent is the instinct of memory, while fragrance is the music of love"...

Genna: The scent you're wearing... I think I finally know what to choose.

(Send the fragrance forth.)

(Hand over Special Perfume: Wind's Breath ×1)

Genna: Thank you very much. This delicate fragrance... I imagine that she would smile ever so genuinely, ever so beautifully, if this fragrance could reach her...

Genna: Please, take this as a token of my gratitude. This is my wife's favorite collection of Fontainian love poetry. I specifically bought an extra copy of it.

Genna: May poetry and fragrant scents bring you wondrous adventure.

(Obtain The Dream of Rhonabouillet, Hero's Wit ×2, and Mora ×21,500)

(Talk to Hannelore)

Hannelore: What's that pleasant aroma... Huh? It's perfume, isn't it?

About fragrances...

Hannelore: Hmm... your fragrance is quite distinctive. Fresh, but not overly sweet. Like the breeze that drifts across Starsnatch Cliff in early spring.

Hannelore: Many people wear perfume before coming to confession. Much like prayer, confession is a solemn sacrament. And as Millhaven nearby happens to produce so many fragrances, it's only natural...

Hannelore: But yours feels gentler. There's something about it that settles the heart.

Hannelore: If a fragrance like this lingered here while they listened to confessions... perhaps those who come weighed down with sorrow might find their spirits loosening, if only a little.

(Send the fragrance forth.)

(Hand over Special Perfume: Wind's Breath ×1)

Hannelore: Oh... thank you for your kindness. But as a sister of the Church of Favonius, I cannot accept such gifts.

Hannelore: For me, it is enough to breathe in a trace of this fragrance as it rides upon the sea wind. Beautiful things belong to the wind, not to any one person. That is the way of those who walk in faith.

Hannelore: Even so, your kindness, warm as the southern breeze, has reached me. Please accept this book as a small return gift.

Hannelore: May the Anemo Archon watch over you. And may the road ahead be filled, like this fragrance, with virtue, freedom, and compassion.

(Obtain Special Perfume: Wind's Breath ×1, Revelations of Divine Love, Hero's Wit ×2, and Mora ×21,500)

(Talk to Elsie again)

Elsie: Oh! Golden-haired adventurer! Did you bring any love poetry worthy of inspiring a genius like me?

(Hand over "The Song of Ay-Khanoum.")

Elsie: Whoa, what a beautiful book! Alright, let's see what it says...

Elsie: "...No throne stands without serpents beneath it, no rose blooms free of thorns. Drink the bitterness to the final drop, Ferigees, and with those sweet eyes of yours, promise me... promise me..."

Elsie: Uh... wait, how do you pronounce this one again?

Elsie: Yeah, that's definitely too profound for me! My tongue's already in a knot! I'll just take it home and read it slowly later... Thanks, golden-haired adventurer!

(Hand over "Revelations of Divine Love.")

Elsie: Oh! I've heard of this one before. It's a poetry collection from the Church of Favonius, right?

Elsie: Let me see... "Her soul is a field aflame, pouring its fiery song into the wind. Between the stars, the moon, and the radiant sun, even my own light is burned by her glow..."

Elsie: What kind of poem is that? It's honestly a bit unsettling... and the Church of Favonius clearly doesn't know much about poetry. I mean, stars, the moon, and the sun all appearing together? As if!

Elsie: Well, that settles it! My confidence is back. If that's the level of poetry in this book, then even I could do better. I'll buy it. Thanks, golden-haired adventurer!

(Hand over "The Dream of Rhonabouillet.")

Elsie: Oh, a Fontaine poetry collection! Let me see...

Elsie: Traveling back to the past... the court of the Lochknight... and he falls in love with a maid at first sight...?

Elsie: Pfft! This is hilarious! You get the chance to go back in time, and the only thing on your mind is chasing romance with someone your own ancestor's age?

Elsie: Oh, so that's the point. It's a love poem!

Elsie: Hah, I get it now. Love really does make people lose their senses. Anyway, I'll buy it and read it properly later. Thanks, golden-haired adventurer!

(After handing over all poetry collections)

Elsie: Haha, thank you, golden-haired adventurer! You're my hero, my greatest hero!

Elsie: I can feel inspiration surging in my head already, like the winds of Stormterror's Lair, the miasma of Chenyu Vale, and the thunder over Seirai Island — it's all about to burst out...

That sounds very dangerous!

Elsie: Heh, just wait and see! I'm writing all these ideas down right now!

Elsie: Linus's pretentious poems won't stand a chance. Once my masterpiece is finished, taverns all across Teyvat will be buzzing with my name!

(Obtain Hero's Wit ×2 and Mora ×21,500)
