Genshin Impact Version 7.1 Archon Quest Aftermath Guide

To experience the world alterations and character dialogue updates following the Version 7.1 update in Genshin Impact, complete the final act of the Archon Quest "Requiem for the Underworld." Once the concluding cutscenes resolve and the quest is marked complete in your journal, the game applies permanent visual shifts across Teyvat and updates interaction options for specific overworld characters.

Celestial Nail World Anomaly

Finishing the 7.1 Archon Quest permanently alters Teyvat's skybox. A prominent Celestial Nail anomaly appears in the sky and remains visible from locations throughout the open world.

Key details regarding this visual shift include:

• Permanence: There is no menu toggle or setting to revert Teyvat's skybox to its original state once the quest ends.
• Progression Marker: The anomaly visually confirms that your account has completed the primary Version 7.1 narrative milestones.
• Troubleshooting: If the skybox does not update, open your quest log to ensure all dialogue sequences and final objective turn-ins for "Requiem for the Underworld" have fully resolved.

Post-Quest Character Interactions

After completing the main storyline, several characters update their overworld conversations to address the events of the Underworld and the shifting balance between Celestia and Teyvat's nations.

• Target Characters: Seek out allies such as Xiao, Yae Miko, and Albedo at their usual overworld locations.
• Timing: Speak with these characters shortly after finishing the quest. Their specific reflections on the storyline events may change or become unavailable when the next version cycle begins.

Recommendations Before Quest Completion

Before finishing the final sequence of "Requiem for the Underworld," consider the following steps:

1. Complete Regional Exploration First: The atmosphere and accessibility of areas surrounding the Underworld entrance shift significantly after the quest concludes. Finish any pending side quests, chest collecting, or local exploration in that area beforehand if you prefer doing so under its original state.
2. Account Readiness: Completing this quest aligns your world state with future narrative content, preventing lockout issues for upcoming event quests that build upon the story reveals of Version 7.1.
