All Prerequisite Quest

Like most characters on Genshin Impact, there’s a list of things you need to accomplish before you can play them. Take for instance XiangLing, players needed to finish floor 3 of chamber 3 in the Spiral Abyss in order to get her for free. Yelan has a story quest you can do in order to learn more about her. Once you have completed story quests and have reached a certain adventure rank you can start the story quest. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Reach Adventure Rank 40
  • Complete Ganyu’s story quest “Sinae Unicornus Chapter; Act I Sea of Clouds, Sea of People”
  • New Archon quest “Interlude Chapter: Act II Perilous Trail (Will release either June 1 or 2)
  • Story key
