Complete The Firmiana Leaf Falls Genshin Impact

The Firmiana Leaf Falls is the Act I of Kamisato Ayato’s story quest in Genshin Impact. Many players are wondering how to complete it and if it’s possible to skip it in order to start the Hues of the Violet Garden event. We will take a look at both of these questions in this guide.

How to Complete The Firmiana Leaf Falls in Genshin Impact?

These are the things you need or must have completed in the game beforehand so that you can start this quest line.

Prerequisites:

First, you require a Story Key in order to begin this quest.
Your Adventure Rank should be minimum 40.
You also should have completed the following:
- Chapter II: Act III – Omnipresence Over Mortals
- Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter Act I – Reflections of Mortality
- Chisato’s Letter

Quests to Complete:

New Shoots from Old Branches
The Truth Is Also a Lie
The Wind Settles

New Shoots from Old Branches

The New Shoots from Old Branches mission involves a lot of meet-ups with NPCs and talking to them. It’s all about getting the player acquainted with the lore of Kamisato Ayato and it starts in the Inazuma City. Here’s an overview of the mission.

Visit Inazuma City Streets.
There will be two characters talking to each other and Paimon will say that those two look familiar.
Go to the Kamisato Estate After this exchange, meet Ayaka at the Kamisato Estate.
Go to the Kujou Estate and talk to Kujou Kamaji.
Then visit the Hiiragi Estate in Ritou.
Leave the Estate and go over what you know.

The Truth Is Also a Lie

Next, The Truth Is Also a Lie will require you to save Shinnojou.
Open the map, find Narukami Island, Inazuma and locate the Grand Narukami Shrine. That’s where you need to teleport to.
At the entrance of the cave, there will be some guards that you need to defeat.

Next, look for the key that the bake-danuki made off with. This can be done by hitting various things in the environment, because he is mimicking stones piled on one another and also a wooden box. Use your Elemental Vision to make this easier.
Once you get the key, use it to free Shinnojou.
Head back to Inzauma City where you must check the current situation using the city Bulletin Board.
Now, talk to Kujou Kamaji in Kujou Estate. Teleport to Inazuma City and make your way to the gate of Tenryou Commission Headquarters. As you enter, you will find that he will be standing right in front of you.
The next thing to do after the dialogues, is to go and observe the Kanjou Commission informant. Kamisato Ayato will tell you to follow Hideo without getting seen, so this is where your stealth gameplay will come into the picture.
After this, you have to simply listen to the conversations and you will complete The Truth Is Also A Lie quest.

The Wind Settles

The first thing to do is skip time and change it to the morning of “Day after Tomorrow”.
Talk to the people of Ritou – you need to speak to 3 people to complete this part.
Hatanaka, Hideo, Sasano are some NPCs that you can talk to for this purpose.
Then, Meet and talk to Hiiragi Chisato.
After that, go to the Kamisato Estate to meet Ayato.

As you can tell, this whole questline is packed with cutscenes, story progression based on Political themes and interacting with a lot of characters. It will be a bit of a long journey, but if you’re focused on completing Ayato’s story quest and getting to know him better (his cunning as well as caring sides), this is all worth it.
