The Molting Season sidequest in Genshin Impact offers a quirky adventure which will take you through exciting challenges, including battling Angry Saurian Traffickers and cracking a secret cellar door puzzle. Whether you’re aiming for an SS Rank in the flight challenge or just having fun with the quest’s unique moments, I’ve got you covered. Let’s get started and uncover all the rewards waiting for you!
Molting Season Guide
To begin, head southeast from the Flower-Feather Clan’s settlement or northwest from the Stadium of the Sacred Flame. You’ll know you’re on the right path when a dialogue about Acomitl triggers, signaling the start of the quest.
Key Location: Camp with Angry Saurian Traffickers: Southeast of the Flower-Feather Clan village.
Here’s the walkthrough to help you breeze through the quest and maybe crack a smile or two along the way (because I promise, this quest has some wild moments):
| Step | Objective | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fight off the Angry Saurian Traffickers | They’re not that tough. Don’t stress! |
| 2 | Talk to Acomitl (after the cutscene) | You’ll meet Acomitl behind a locked gate. |
| 3 | Indwell with the Qucusaurus (Try to talk to them) | Both the Sleepy and Melancholic Qucusaur are key! |
| 4 | Knock on the secret cellar door | Knock in this pattern: Booong… Booong, booong, booong… Booong, booong… – yes, really! |
| 5 | Talk to Acomitl in the cellar | This will start the Warrior Challenge! |
| 6 | Start the flight challenge (Just make sure you hit all the rings!) | Aim for that SS Rank if you want the best loot! |
When you get to the part where you have to knock on the secret cellar door, don’t get too excited and spam the knock button. The pattern is specific: Booong… Booong, booong, booong… Booong, booong…. Just follow the rhythm and you’ll be golden.
The Molting Season quest rewards you based on how well you do in the flight challenge. The better your score, the better your rewards, so keep pushing for that SS Rank for max loot!
Flight Challenge Scoring Rewards:
- SS Rank: Best rewards, baby! (aim for it!)
- Higher Flight Scores: Will grant you better rewards, including Obsidian Fragments.
The Molting Season quest in Genshin Impact is a fun, quirky ride, and I’m sure you’ll have a blast flying through the Warrior Challenge. Just remember, don’t get discouraged if you mess up that secret door knock—it’s all about the rhythm! The rewards are worth it, especially if you’re aiming to collect some Obsidian Fragments.
