Why Can’t I Do Requiem of the Echoing Depths? A Genshin Impact Troubleshooting Guide

So, you’re itching to dive into the abyss with the Traveler and Dainsleif in the “Requiem of the Echoing Depths” Archon Quest, but something’s holding you back? Frustration is understandable, fellow adventurer! The reason you can’t start this quest boils down to a few key prerequisites you haven’t yet fulfilled. Let’s break it down step by step:

The primary reasons you can’t access “Requiem of the Echoing Depths” are:

1. Adventure Rank: You must be at least Adventure Rank 28. If you’re below this, focus on completing quests, opening chests, and doing daily commissions to level up.

2. Archon Quest Completion (A New Star Approaches): You need to have finished the Archon Quest Chapter 1: Act 3 – “A New Star Approaches”. This Archon Quest takes place in Liyue. If you haven’t done this yet, prioritize completing the main story quests in Liyue.

3. World Quest Completion (Surreptitious Seven-Star Seal Sundering): You absolutely must complete the World Quest “Surreptitious Seven-Star Seal Sundering”. This quest is crucial because it unlocks your access to The Chasm: Underground Mines. Without unlocking The Chasm, you can’t even begin the “Requiem of the Echoing Depths” questline.

4. Chasm Delvers World Quest series: Completing the “The Heavenly Stone’s Debris” quest in The Chasm Delvers World Quest series is essential. This ensures that there are no roadblocks during the quest as it requires access to the Nameless Ruins.

Once you’ve addressed these prerequisites, you should be able to start the “Requiem of the Echoing Depths” Archon Quest by heading to Liyue Harbor and speaking with Katheryne at the Adventurer’s Guild. She’ll set you on the path to The Chasm and your adventure with Dainsleif.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Here are some of the most common questions players have about unlocking “Requiem of the Echoing Depths” and related content:

How do I quickly increase my Adventure Rank?

Focus on these activities to efficiently raise your Adventure Rank:

• Archon Quests: These provide the biggest Adventure Rank rewards.
• World Quests: Offer a good balance of rewards and story content.
• Daily Commissions: Complete these every day for consistent Adventure Rank points.
• Opening Chests: Explore the world and open chests of all rarities.
• Clearing Domains: Domains offer Adventure Rank experience and valuable resources.
• Using Resin: Spend your Resin on Ley Line Outcrops or Domains to maximize your gains.

Where do I start the “Surreptitious Seven-Star Seal Sundering” quest?

The “Surreptitious Seven-Star Seal Sundering” questline automatically becomes available once you’ve progressed far enough in the Liyue Archon Quest storyline and reached Adventure Rank 28. Look for the quest marker near the entrance to The Chasm. Talk to the NPCs at the entrance to initiate the quest.

What if I can’t find the entrance to The Chasm?

The Chasm is located west of Liyue Harbor. Look for a large, canyon-like area on the map. The entrance is near the border between Liyue and the area that will eventually become Sumeru.

Do I need to complete Inazuma before The Chasm?

No, you don’t strictly need to complete the Inazuma storyline to access The Chasm. However, some later Dainsleif quests, like the “Bough Keeper: Dainsleif” quest, do require you to be further along in the main Archon Quest storyline, which includes Inazuma. Experiencing the Inazuma content beforehand is a great way to explore a different region in Genshin Impact and you may find some valuable treasures along the way.

What is the “Bough Keeper: Dainsleif” quest, and how do I unlock it?

The “Bough Keeper: Dainsleif” quest is a crucial World Quest that delves into the lore of Khaenri’ah and the Abyss Order. You need to be at least Adventure Rank 36 and have progressed significantly through the main Archon Quest storyline. It will automatically appear in your quest log.

Why is Dainsleif called the Bough Keeper?

Dainsleif’s title references his role as a keeper of Khaenri’ah’s history. A “bough” is a branch of a tree, and Dainsleif holds onto the memories and knowledge of a fallen nation. His memories are fading, making his role as a “keeper of history” even more poignant.

What update introduced Requiem of the Echoing Depths?

The “Requiem of the Echoing Depths” Archon Quest was released in Genshin Impact Update 2.6.

Is Dainsleif a good guy or a bad guy?

Dainsleif’s morality is complex. While he appears to be an ally of the Traveler, his connection to Khaenri’ah and his past actions raise questions about his true motives. He operates in the gray area, making him a fascinating and enigmatic character. It is safe to say that Dainsleif is not necessarily a good guy.

What are the benefits of doing the Requiem of the Echoing Depths quest?

Completing this Archon Quest rewards you with:

• Adventure Rank Experience: Helps you level up.
• Primogems: Used for wishing on banners.
• Character EXP Materials: To level up your characters.
• Mora: The in-game currency.
• Story Progression: Deepens your understanding of the Genshin Impact lore.
• Unlocking New Areas: Exploring The Chasm: Underground Mines.

What is the Stellar Reunion event?

The Stellar Reunion event is a returning player bonus. If you’ve been inactive for a while, logging back in can trigger this event, providing rewards like Primogems and resources. The requirements are:

• Adventure Rank 10 or above.
• At least 14 days since your last login.
• Over 45 days since last activating “Stellar Reunion.”

What if I’m still stuck after completing all the prerequisites?

Double-check your quest log to ensure you haven’t accidentally abandoned the starting quest. Also, restart your game. If the problem persists, contact Genshin Impact’s customer support.
