Walkthrough of the Paints of Illusions quest in Genshin Impact

As part of the quest, you will need to go to the village of Merusi and help little Mamer collect resources for paints.

Talk to Mamer and go to Merusi Village

During the conversation on the shore of the reservoir, Mamer will offer to draw a picture as a thank you. To do this, the Traveler needs to find a melusine in Merusi Village.

To get to the underwater settlement, dive into the nearest body of water and dive deeper. Along the way, you can absorb the power of the armored crab to protect yourself from underwater currents.

Swim to the other end of the flooded cave and get out onto land. Activate the fairy and walk forward, then jump down the hole and glide down to the low ground. You will find yourself in a very warm place. Follow the fairy to the teleport, next to which her house is located - get a rich chest.

After ing through the tunnel with the usual chest, move to the next teleportation point, next to which stands Mamer. Along the way meet another melusina, Kosynzyan, who will tell about the Village of Merusi.

After going through a few more tunnels, meet with Mamer and find yourself in the Melusine village.

Go to Mamer's house

Head north of Merusi Village and head to Mamer's house. Run under the archway and you can reach it. The heroes will talk about the dwelling of the melusine and will be able to study the mechanical dog Seymour.

The guests will talk to the dog, and Mamer will tell you where she found this mechanism. Melusina will suggest that Seymour can't move because he's "an unusual mek". She will also mention Jacob, who wished to purchase the painting. Mamer will go to paint a canvas and invite his friends to look around.

Walk nearby

During a walk near Mamer's house, you can see the surroundings: a box, Seymour, a melusine room, an easel and a bottle. During bottle research strange sounds and visions will appear in the Traveler's head. After inspecting this object, Mamer will come running. She will report that the paints have run out. The artist will talk about the peculiarities of these dyes and take guests with her to collect materials.

Go to the Dye Harvest

Move north from Merusi Village towards deserted place. After reaching the desired area, examine the shore near the reservoir to find the ore. Mamer will tell you that you can't just get it.

Use prism and ore resonance

Stand up to the prism so that it "looks" towards the ore. After that, hit the object with a normal attack: it will release a red charge, which will destroy the fossil. Nearby there is a rich chest guarded by enemies. You will soon notice that Mamer has left. The traveler will again feel dizzy and hear strange sounds.

Use prism and ore resonance again

Help Mamer collect the dyes and use the prism and ore resonance again. Head to the next prism, stand up to it and hit. Nothing will happen and Paimon will assume that object must first be activated.

Look to the right and run to another prism. Stand so that the two objects are on the same line, and hit the prism. The wave will reach her and activate a puzzle piece.

Return to the first prism, "point" it at the ore and hit. The wave will fly into the fossil and destroy it, a rich chest will appear nearby.

Find Mamer

After the destruction of the ore, Paimon will notice Mamer, head towards her. Melusina will report that the extracted resources are enough for a large amount of paint. The artist will tell you that dirty shades are obtained from the ore, so need to find purer ore for mixing. To get it, you need to go a little further.

Head to the specified location

through the teleport shown by Mamer to get to Very warm place. Once in the area, the Melusina will prompt her companions to wait while she mines pure ore.

Adjust the position of the prism to resonate with the ore

Some prisms can be picked up and moved to a specific area near where they spawn. This will solve a number of puzzles.

Move the first prism so that its "projectile" will fly straight into the ore. Then hit the object to collect minerals. The second prism and the third prism are inactive, they need to be "lit".

Move the first prism to the edge of its area, placing it to the east, it is marked with a red circle on the ground. Hit to activate the second object in the link. It will light up and you can move it.

Move the second prism to the edge of its area, as far east as possible. It is necessary to set the object so that it is on the same visible line as the last prism. Now run up to the third piece of the puzzle and move it closer to the second prism. Hit it and light the third one.

It remains to hit the last prism and destroy the ore. If the emitted wave breaks on the ground, move the object slightly to the left, or closer to the fossil. A rich chest will appear next to the ore.

Talk to Mamer and go to her house

Head towards the teleporter and the exit from the Very Warm Place. There you will find Mamer, talk to Melusina. She will offer to go home.

Travel to the waypoint in Merusi Village and move to Mamer's house. When you get to the dwelling of the melusina, you will notice hermits next to it. Jacob will be among them. The outlaws discuss the search for paints, but Mamer and the Traveler will soon be spotted.

The man in purple will introduce himself and explain the purpose of his visit. He will lie about the paintings, after which the conversation will again turn to paints: the man will ask you to transfer crushed ore to him. Of course, the comrades will refuse, and the hermits will want to resolve the issue by force.

Defeat the Hermits

Together with Seymour, defeat the three Hermits who attacked Mamer's dwelling. Enemies can be thrown into the water to instantly kill. After the battle, a dialogue with Jacob will begin: as a result, the criminals will leave the village. It turns out that Seymour is broken.

While inspecting the painting, you can choose one of the lines to show Mamer that the Traveler understands her drawings. The dialogue will not be affected by the hero's response.

Mamer will apologize and say that he won't be able to paint the portrait while Seymour is broken. The offer to go to the capital to fix the dog will be rejected, and friends will decide to resort to the help of the Progenitor. This will complete the task.

Next quest - "It's going to rain".
