Path in the Misty Forest in Fontaine. As part of the quest, the Traveler will have to explore a secret altar in the Misty Forest and obtain a key drop for Melusine Pashiv.
In this article we will tell you how to start and complete the Path in the Misty Forest quest. Read on to find out how to solve the altar puzzle and what reward you can get.
How to start the Path in the Misty Forest quest
To begin the quest, go to Erinyes Forest and find the "Path in the Misty Forest". It is located near the teleport, southeast of the Lusin Fountain.
The quest also has an alternative beginning: go to the sign by the fountain at Markot Station and read it so that the quest will automatically be included in the list of current missions.
Walkthrough of the quest Path in the Misty Forest in Genshin Impact
Follow the path on the Path in the Misty Forest and read the stone tablet at the altar under the blue tree. Solve puzzles with a mechanism that has the abilities of a xenochrome spherical octopus, get the key drop and talk to Melusine.
Follow the Path in the Misty Forest
From the Epicles Opera House, head east to the Misty Forest Path. Follow the path towards the huge blue tree and read the inscription on the stone tablet at the altar.
Unravel the secrets of the altar
To solve the mystery of the altar, you need to solve three puzzles nearby. Clear the contaminated bacterial mucus in three places and play the reed pipe.
Riddle 1, north
Approach the mechanism that has the abilities of the xenochrome globular octopus to the west of the altar to borrow its skill. Next, move north from the tree, to the first point where you will see purple slime.
Press and hold the Xenochrome Ball Octopus skill and destroy the clumps to make dew bubbles appear. Using the same ability, push the left bubble towards the right and they will combine into one big one. Burst it so that the shock wave hits three pipes nearby at the same time. As a result, the first of three balls will appear on the giant tree.
Riddle 2, to the west
Now move to the second point, located to the west of the previous one. Near the waterfall, also destroy the contaminated bacterial slime, which will produce three Hydro Slimes.
Next, two dew bubbles will appear, which are needed to play the pipes: the instrument at the waterfall should be activated first, followed immediately by the other two. Move the bubbles as shown in the screenshot:
- the right ball upstream can be left untouched;
- Place the left ball in the middle between the pipes with two marks.
Take any archer for example Ember, and shoot first the right and then immediately the left bubble. If everything is done correctly, another ball will appear on the blue tree.
Riddle 3, south
The last point is in the southeast. Use the Ball Octopus skill to get rid of the purple goo again. When it disappears, two bubbles will form.
This time the reed pipes must be hit in a certain sequence, as indicated by the runes above. Move the dew bubbles slightly closer together so that they touch the tools in the desired order. One water balloon should be closer to the device with one rune - its explosion will hit the pipes with 1 and 2 runes, as well as the second bubble. Move it to the mechanism with three runes so that the boundary of the explosion would hit him. Hit the first ball and everything should work out.
If it doesn’t work, try placing the first bubble just to resonate with the pipes, and break the second one yourself. You need to activate objects quickly; you can use an archer to have time to burst the second ball.
If you can't solve the riddle, try moving the second bubble to the pipe with two symbols.
Examine the item on the altar
When three balls appear on the branches of the blue tree, return to the altar and pick up the one lying on it key in the shape of a tear, which will be useful later. Take the item from the altar and talk to Melusine Pashiv. After meeting the Traveler and Paimon, she will tell you that three drop keys are needed to save the island of Erinyes.

If you can't solve the riddle from the south, just move the 2nd ball so that the ok doesn't touch the 2nd pipe
first of all, these bubbles don't move at all
I collected all 3 keys of the drop, but I can’t give them back, I don’t understand what to do
You have a quest "In the Heart of the Erinyes"?
I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong, I’ve tried everything, it doesn’t help, I’m on this damn task, Amber is probably a bad archer, I don’t know🥲
What riddle are you having trouble with? Do you understand the principle itself?
At what point did over become Pashiv?
In the next update after its release, it was corrected so that the name was read “vishap” backwards, as in other languages
I completed the quest a long time ago, but: firstly, this drop-shaped key is not in my inventory, and secondly, I didn’t even know that there were other parts of the quest (after completing it, it all ended there), now I don’t know how to solve other riddles, because .To. they don’t work automatically, and I don’t know where to get the key(
If you don't have anything in your inventory, you've probably already completed everything. you can check your reputation, if the chain about the wild fairy Erinyes is completed there, then you ed
But he finds 3 keys, you don’t want to clarify
Please tell me what you don’t understand?
I have no way to interact with the altar at all, what should I do?
Try to approach the fountain and interact with the sign there
thank you very much! It worked the first time, according to the guide I tried 5 times and nothing (
thank you very much
How annoying are these pipes! It’s some kind of d***ism, not a mystery. You do everything 10 times, but it’s still not correct. Some bubbles need to be connected, others need to be activated in some order, others need to be hit several times…. rave!
what to do if there is no purple dirt? because of this I can’t solve the first riddle
are there any dew bubbles?
puzzle 3 south. move the bubble closer to a mechanism with two runes rather than three
one to one, the other to three. why two?
by three it didn’t work. and I personally succeeded in two. Idk, maybe someone will have the same situation
Maybe it happened that the wave reached the third one earlier. We'll try to clarify in the guide)
I agree, I tried it 20 times according to the guide, it’s already stuck, I found your comment and it worked the first time, thank you
We will clarify the information in the manual, thanks for your
These pipes discourage all desire to play - for the first time in several years. It seems that in theory everything is clear even without guides, in practice, even with guides, it turns out that it’s not clear that you just don’t want to go further!
You can ask another player to help you, or check out our guide to riddles with pipes. If you have any difficulties, ask, we will try to explain)
If you can't solve the riddle even according to the guide, here's the solution: make a big ball as described in the guide, and before it bursts, turn towards the top left pillar with a bubble, and hold down the normal attack button, then the wave will spread across all the pillars
I solved all the riddles, but I couldn’t get through the first one even with a guide...
you need to move the bubble that came out of the flower into the bubble that is in the clearing so that they merge into one big bubble and burst it
There was a bug on the third purple slime puzzle, one purple slime just disappeared and when I try to destroy one slime, it does not collapse and the bubble does not appear.
this is not a bug, you just need to leave her with 0 HP and go hit the second one, both will disappear at the same time
