Encounter with Noelle in Genshin Impact: all endings in Act II "Knightly Exam Prep"

In Genshin Impact the meeting with Noelle was continued in the form of Act II "Knightly Exam Prep". To open it, you need to reach the 26th adventure rank, Obtain 2 Keys of Legends, Complete the Archon Quest "Song of the Dragon and Freedom" and of course execute the previous chapter of the meeting with a combat maid. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough of the new chapter with answers to Cyrus' questions and tips on how to unlock all endings.

• “Overloading will only make matters worse.”
• "A change of scenery might do you good."

Fork "Traditional weaponry of Liyue"

• "The reason is that Noelle looks really cute."
• “In Liyue, not everyone eats with chopsticks. Would you like to take a look?"
• “You can never know everything for sure, the exam can test the ability to work With You with partners from Liyue.”
• "Let's go to the port. We can learn something from the Millelites."

Ending 2: Knight Maid

• "We'll start with Three Cups at the Port and move on."

In this branch, you have to help a character named Iron Tongue Tian in collecting various items. First, break the Hilichurl buildings in the marked place, and then give him the Chaos Device. This item drops from the Ruin Guard mini-boss.

You can find this enemy using the Adventurer's Guide. Open the "Enemies" section, select the "Elite" category and find the necessary mini-boss. Then just click on the inscription "Track". After that, the necessary pointer will appear on the map.

Ending 3: Top Score

Fork "Emergency preparation for the exam"

• “Don't hide from stress. You have to meet him face to face."
• "You could try a few more exams to get used to the atmosphere."

Note: If the quest is not progressing, then inspect your current missions. It is possible that the desired character is associated with a different task. You can also try logging out of your account and logging back in.

Fork "Adventurer’s Entrance Exam"

Before you start a conversation with Cyrus, we advise you to prepare in advance Steak because you will need it in the future. During a conversation with the head of the guild, you have to give the correct answers to 4 questions:

• Windwheel Aster
• Roald
• Ash Sea
• Steak

Pass the dish and head to the specified location. There you have to deal with the Guardian of the Ruins, and you need to do this in just seventy seconds. If you can't deal huge damage, then first eat something to increase the attack rate and prepare the explosions of the characters' elements by fighting the nearby mobs. After dealing with the enemy, chat with Cyrus again.

Ending 4: Wrong Answers

To get the 4th ending, you will need to fail the first or second stage of the exam, that is, answer one of the questions incorrectly or fail to defeat the Guardian of the Ruins in 70 seconds. We advise you to answer the questions correctly, and then just lose to the robot. Don't forget to cook Steak, even if you're not going to answer correctly:

• Windwheel Aster (if you want to fail the exam, you can answer Small Lamp Grass or Calla Lily)
• Roald
• Ash Sea
• Steak

Give the dish and head to the specified location. If you answered the questions incorrectly, then there you have to deal with the Guardian of the Ruins in 70 seconds. Then you can choose any answers.

When you return to the library, do not engage in dialogue with Noelle. Instead, first examine the girl's abstract that is on the table to open a special trophy.

Ending 5: Noelle, the one and only

Fork "Emergency preparation for the exam"

• “Don't hide from stress. You have to meet him face to face."
• “Try to imagine that you passed the exam successfully.”

Fork "How to become a scout"

After dealing with all the hilichurls in the marked location, chat with your companion again and tell her the following:

• "You can become like the current Master Jean."

Next, you will need to return to the city and look for clues in the specified area. There, look for a girl named Gloria, who is sitting on a bench. Ask her about the monocle. She will tell you about the nests of finches, which may contain the item you need. Nests are located on the roofs of buildings.

Ending 6: Professional Duties of a Maid

Fork "Emergency preparation for the exam"

• “Don't hide from stress. You have to meet him face to face."
• “Try to imagine that you passed the exam successfully.”

Fork "How to become a scout"

After dealing with all the hilichurls in the marked location, talk to the girl again and tell her the following:

Then you can specify any dialogue options, as they do not affect the ending.
