To complete Acts 3 and 4 of Archon Quest Chapter 7 ("Requiem for the Underworld") in Genshin Impact Version 7.1, you must clear the prerequisite story acts, resolve any active NPC quest conflicts, and follow the designated storyline markers in Snezhnaya.
Prerequisites and Access Requirements
Before starting Acts 3 and 4, verify your progress in the Quest Log:
- Complete Previous Acts: Ensure Archon Quest Chapter 7 Acts 1 and 2 are finished. The game locks Acts 3 and 4 until these storyline steps are complete.
- Clear NPC Conflicts: If a required NPC is occupied by an active world quest, complete or advance that world quest first to free up the character for the Archon Quest.
Progression and Quest Navigation
"Requiem for the Underworld" prioritizes environmental interaction, dialogue, and narrative pacing over combat domains.
- Select and track the active objective from the Archon Quest tab.
- Follow the mini-map objective markers to enter story-restricted zones.
- Interact with highlighted environmental objects to trigger narrative triggers and unlisted background lore.
- Progress through extended dialogue sequences to unlock the next objective marker.
Handling Restricted Movement and Features
During specific phases of Acts 3 and 4, teleportation and exploration gadgets are temporarily disabled to maintain story pacing. Restricted movement in these areas is intentional mechanics design.
If teleportation or gadgets become unavailable, follow the designated linear path until the current cinematic phase finishes. Completing these chapters unlocks full movement functionality, resolves regional locks, and prepares your account for future Version 7.1 content and endgame features.
