Immediately after the dialogue, Virgil will take the Traveler to a small bay in the east of the capital. After finishing the conversation, head straight to the lake and swim straight ahead. Dive into the water by resorting to the diving mechanic.
Swimming in a straight line, pay attention to the right side of the gorge. Soon you will find some barrels and a crate, and next to the objects there will be a golden marker that you need to inspect.
Move further along the underwater path, keeping to the left side of the "road". After a few more meters, you will find a couple of boxes and a barrel, examine them to find the next clue.
From the second clue, head to the nearest underwater teleporter. Approaching him, notice the boxes and the barrel, examine them.
Swim to the dead end and find a huge space below. Head to the open location.

Once in the next location, swim further until you reach a round room. Moving into the depths, you will encounter undercurrents. To protect yourself from them, use the power of xenochrome armored crab.
Moving towards the marker, you will find a rich chest, which you need to defeat enemies to open, and you will also come across another pile of stones. Again use the armorcrab skillto emit a wave and break the obstacle. Also resort to it and to protect against shells of bullets.
After reaching the room with the teleportation point, swim to the left. There is a hint near the grating and the usual armored crab, examine it.
Get out of the water and talk to Virgil
Head to the center of the room, exit the water and talk to Virgil. Climb to the unflooded floor of the building and approach the bookshelves. The man will tell you some details about the Cross and Lily society. Virgil will ask you to deal with the gate, and he will go to look for a solution in the books.
Find a way to keep going
Go to the opposite side of the room. At the edge of the platform there is a mechanism that can open the door, you need to put it into action.
Take the energy block: pneuma (light color), then place it in the purple pneumonia transmission pole. To do this, hit him. Then take the energy block: ousialocated on the ladder and place it on the second pillar.
When both pillars enter into a state of balance, the barrier from the mechanism will fall. Interact with the device to solve the puzzle.
After activating the mechanism, the door will open and you can continue moving. During the conversation with Virgil, the latter will let slip that this building is an institute, and not the territory of a society. He will also ask if the people looking for him have met.
Move in deep
Head to the opened age, along the way you can absorb the power of the armored crab and collect hydrocool. Momentarily out of the water, go forward and dive again.
Swim forward along the gorge, keeping high. It is necessary to swim to the "turn" to the right and move forward into the arch. After leaving the water, go up the stairs to the marker.
Defeat the Meks
Once on land, turn left. At the arch meet enemies: defeat meks to move forward. After defeating the enemies, a conversation will start. Virgil will talk about these mechanisms, and also let it slip again.
Move in deep
After finishing the conversation, go to the corridor, the age into which was guarded by the Meks. Along the way, you will encounter a puzzle with pneumonia blocks, for which you will receive a regular chest.
Having reached a dead end, jump down, there you will find a mechanism with which you need to interact. After activation, the water level will begin to rise, which will allow you to climb up. Touch the fairy and follow her.
Next to the rich chest, you will find two Meks that you need to defeat. Follow the fairy to the flooded descent, having reached it, dive under the water.

Find the treasure
Go ahead and turn left. Next to the bookcase camera, explore it. Opposite this hook is located purple mechanism, inspect it.
In the center of the treasure is ruin mechanism, it also needs to be explored. The thresher does not work, therefore, you won’t have to fight him yet. Now go to glass wall and examine her. It will be possible to notice that there are cracks in the barrier.
During the inspection of the premises, you will hear the sound of the door closing - Virgil has locked the gate. He realized that this place did not serve as a shelter for society, but for the Institute of Natural Philosophy. Now the man plans to conduct "another experiment". Since there is no treasure inside, Virgil is going to take everything acquired from his companions.
Fight and survive the fight
Virgil will launch the Ruin Grader. Until you approach the mechanism, it will not start, which will allow you to restore health and drink potions if necessary. Defeat a special enemy.
When the Special Ruin Grader's health drops to a critical level of 5-10%, he falls down and starts to heal. The enemy will recover HP to the maximum, during the treatment he cannot be damaged. After the second murder, the situation will repeat itself.

Can someone tell me. Fontaine is already completely out, node edge will be out soon, but I'm still interested in one thing. In this quest, namely in this location. Underwater ruins, central part. In a circular room, after leaving the water and continuing along the corridor, right at the very beginning of this corridor there will be abyssal slime, under it a pentagram and a couple of cameras. What to do with this slime?
Hello. Can you send a screenshot of this place?
How can I send a screenshot?
it to any file sharing service and send the link here)
For example, you can https://imgbb.com/
I heard somewhere that they will add a quest about this slime, supposedly it will be possible to remove it and we will do something according to the quest. But the entire Fontaine is out, all 100 closed. Reputation at level 10, all tasks completed. All secret tasks completed. And this slime is still there. So I think, I don't understand something correctly or the developers just forgot and abandoned the idea with this slime https://ibb.co/bjDpD1PX
Yes, most likely the developers themselves forgot. The same quest from the Rift with Fatui has no continuation, and when it was released.
This place is associated with this thing - https://wotpack.free4k.net/kljuch-ot-chego-to-v-institute-v-genshin-impact-gde-najti-i-chto-otkryvaet/
What to do if the thresher's HP is not regenerating and he walks around immortal with 1 dash
You can't break the wall?
How can I enter this cave again later? Will the flow remain there and it will not be possible to double-check?
Where there was a flow will remain so. you can swim into the ruins themselves in the same way as during the quest, or teleport inside
What bothers me is that in the “follow the flow” part, the footnote “if blown out” says that the gap will be in the northeast corner? My gap was in the southwest corner. I spent 10 minutes searching!
I checked the location of the breach, still in the corner on the top right (northeast). Can you send me a screenshot of a bug in your game? to do this, it to a file hosting service and send the link
What should I do if I don’t have a mechanism from *find a way to continue the path*
You surfaced to talk to Virgil, looked around and there was no such mechanism anywhere? technical
Who got out / flew out / teleported during the “follow the flow” item and you have the grate closed, just re-enter the game and it will open. The room will have a gap in the floor leading back to the stream.
Hello, when I got into the stream, I left the game, now I can’t get there in any way ... Don’t know how you can go back there? ...
Hello) use the teleport in the square room where the enemy was and in the corner on the left (northeast) there will be a gap in the floor leading to the stream
Good afternoon, please tell me how to get an eye in the long corridor in this location? There is a mark on the map, I searched everything and there is nothing below or above.
Good day! Go to article on hydrocules (for this we leave links in the article). Everything is shown and explained in detail. Using a word search, enter the name of the quest “Traces of the Tide” and you will find 50, 51 and 81 hydrocules in the guide.
Hello, this quest has a continuation, tell me?
Hello, yes, there is a small quest that completes the story of Virgil and his adventures - Fontaine message.
where to get the ancient key that opens the way further into the ruins if the chests were opened?
Hello! The ancient key is taken from the chest in front of the arch leading to the main location of the quest. At the very beginning of the article, this moment was described, but you can read https://wotpack.free4k.net/drevnij-kljuch-v-genshin-impact-gde-najti-v-fontejne/.
the chest was opened, the key was not given.
have you tried opening the rest of the quest chests?
there were only two, both are open and there is no key.
did you start the quest? If restarting does not help, technical
yes, the square was started. OK, thank you.
I hope they help you
I actually found on the left side of the dungeon on the ruins in a "box" with coins (I forgot what it's called)
Accidentally teleported during the "Follow the flow" item. Now I don't know how to complete the task
Where does the quest marker point to? have you tried going back to that place?
Why didn't the teleporter have a chest at the end, who knows? t.t
maybe because you didn't go through all the rings while you were in the stream
And how to get back to the flow then? :(
use the teleport in the square room where the enemy was and in the corner on the left (northeast) there will be a gap in the floor leading to the stream
I have a problem: I opened the chest but the ancient key did not fall out to me, I have already searched all the places but I cannot find it. Tell me what to do in this case
If you are talking about a key to something in the Institute, it does not drop from the chest for the challenge. You can view a separate article, it told about the key
I don't have the ancient key either. The "Ancient Key" is called so. It is needed to open the very first doors at the beginning of the quest. Not sure where to get it
Hello! The ancient key is taken from the chest in front of the arch leading to the main location of the quest. At the very beginning of the article, this moment was described, but you can read a separate guide for obtaining an ancient key.
Hello. as written below, the game crashed at the moment of hitting the "stream" and now I was at the teleport BEFORE the closed grate. there are no other ways, I can not open. maybe there is still a way to get there again in order to jump into the stream again?
Hello. I understand your problem, write to technical . we will be grateful if you send their answer
I'm level 35, I got the quest, according to the Fontaine travel recommendations "Version Highlights" (extreme teleporter - wavewalker - rosemary port - elevator - aquabus with Evial - Cours la Fontaine - elevator 4th floor - statue of the Archon - Virgil). So for this quest, as well as for Fontaine's research in general, it is only required to complete the Song of the Dragon and Freedom, as it is written in the Highlights of the version. Level 40 is needed to complete the storyline in the Archons' quests.
thanks, noted in the article) we will try to find out the exact rank later
Good afternoon. How to open the room where the mechanism was and the cameras were? Now the grate is lowered there and you can’t go in ...
Can you post a screenshot of the minimap, where is your grate? the screenshot to a file hosting service and share the link in the comments
I Teleported During the Stream. Link Attached - https://imgur.com/a/j0yNayR
I assume you don't have a mechanism to the right of the grate? try ing tech
Please tell me how to re-enter the stream. The game crashed when I was swimming there 🙁
You need to return by teleport to the area where the current swept away and on the right, where there is a small camera, there will be a cave along which you can swim the same way. You need to hit all the rings, then they will give you a chest.
I can't enter the camera room because the gate is closed -_-
Does anyone know if there is a sequel to this story? Maybe someone found Virgil after this quest?
By the way, if you return to the institute, you can get into the secret hall through the book behind the back of the robot. There will be two chests, in one the key to one of the doors of the institute, in the second a shell 🙂
Return to the statue of the Archons in the city where you first met Virgil, two men will be standing in his place: one in a white suit, the other a big man. Approach them and start a dialogue. Hope it helped ^^
Yes. There is a full-fledged continuation of this story, according to which we have already written a guide - Fontaine message.
go to the center of the fountain where virgil was, there will be types, the continuation of the quest where you go to scold virgil)
After the last battle, if you return to that room, you can get into the secret room through the book, and there in the rich chest there will be a key to the room that we met while completing the quest, going deep into the rooms that this key opens, you can find a lump of dirt (the same like in the caves of the fault), can this clot be somehow removed? When I take a stone (which removed these clots), it cannot be activated
Please tell me where the very room is and how exactly the place looks like where you need to “insert” the key, I got it from the chest and now I don’t know where to swim
About the room in which you need to insert the received key, they told in this article, you can take a look.
I accidentally skipped the last part, moved and did not swim to the last point in the stream. Now I can not get into the northern part of the underground ruins. What to do
You can get there on your own from any teleport, repeating the route from the task. If you want to take the chest, you can do it after completing the quest.
Can you tell me how to get the chest after completing the quest, while not getting it at the end of the quest?:
Hello! We added this moment at the end and showed it on the map. You need to swim to the underwater teleport near the Fishermen's Association.
Sorry, can you tell me how to pick up the chest after completing the quest (I didn’t receive it at the end of the quest)
Hello! We added this moment at the end and showed it on the map. You need to swim to the underwater teleport near the Fishermen's Association.
I probably didn’t put the question that way. That’s how I understood the chest appears if you swim down the stream and get into all the rings, but if you swam and didn’t get into all, then it will be possible to swim through it again?
You need to return by teleport to the area where the current swept away and on the right, where there is a small camera, there will be a cave along which you can swim the same way. You need to hit all the rings, then they will give you a chest.
Thank you!
Also, after the end of the task, it will be possible to get into the secret room through the book that is located in the same room where the battle with the ruin thresher took place
Thanks for the comment! Let's check
I like
