A Particularly Particular Author in Genshin Impact: Nests and Feathers

In Genshin Impact A Particularly Particular Author is Inazuma's world quest and part of the quest chain "Through the Mists", within which you can get to Tsurumi Island Island. There you have to make your way through the foggy lands and make offerings to nesting sites, finding feathers. In this guide, we will tell you how to find feathers and solve all the relay stones puzzles.

How to start the "A Particularly Particular Author" quest

Note that to start this mission, you must first go through the world quest "Seirai Stormchasers". After that, you need to chat with Katerina in the capital of the archipelago. She will give you a new task and tell you that we will get more information from Sumida.

The girl can be found in the same city. She will ask you to find for her a unique musical instrument called Maushiro, located on the mysterious island Tsurumi Island, where no one has lived for thousands of years. Agree with her request. She will advise you to talk to Kame the boatman.

How to get to Tsurumi Island and remove the fog

In theory, you can try to swim to this island on the Wavewalker, but you still won't be able to explore it. So continue on with the mission. Head to the owner of the boat, who is located on the island of Rito.

Talk to Kama and ask him to take you to Tsurumi Island. He will do this, and you will be taken to the desired location. As soon as you step on the land, activate the Statue of Seven, which is located a little further. So you will open part of the land on the map and get a trophy "Continental Explorer: Tsurumi Island".

You will see that most of the island is covered in fog. To take it out, you just need to go through the gate ahead. True, the fog will not disappear from all areas. In any case, go ahead and talk to the boy Roo. Follow him and you will see a man and a woman. They will tell you about a certain Ceremony and offer to join it.

Make an offering to the nest

Collect feathers

First, you will need to interact with the nesting site marked with the quest marker. Watch the cut-scene with flying feathers. You will need to pick them up. Luckily, they will be marked on your minimap. Plus, you can take advantage of your sense of the elements. However, just in case, we indicated their location in the screenshots below.

Don't forget to touch the feather to collect it. The first two are nearby, and the third hangs on top of a small mountain. After taking them, go back and offer to the tree. As a result, you complete the Ritual. Watch the cut-scene and chat with Roo again.

Find a priest

Now you will need to find a priest named Mata. He stands in the middle. You will learn that similar rituals must be performed in three more districts in order to completely remove the fog. In them you have to not only look for feathers, but also solve various puzzles.

The map above shows the approximate location of the nests. You can visit them in any order.

Make an Offering to the Nest: Chirai Shrine

So, head to the location Chirai Shrine. The images below show the exact location of the tree. If you find it difficult to navigate in the fog, then just follow the lamps on the left side. You will see a tree on a hill. First, talk to the boy, and only then touch the nest. Next, you will again have to look for feathers.

Feather 1

It is located near the tree, on the left (if you stand with your back to it). Follow the icon on the minimap and follow the screenshots below. You will need to jump into the gap below.

Feather 2

It is located on a hill. As soon as you approach it, it will fly away from you towards the phase gate. Run after him again. The feather will fly to another hill. Enter the gate and fly forward and pick up Electroculus on the way to.

Then again run up to the feather on the right side of the gate. At this point, monsters will most likely attack you. Fight them off or just keep going. The feather will descend down to the plain.

Feather 3

Also located near the tree. There are also relay stones here, but they are not related to this task. New monsters will appear. Deal with them and return to the nest to make an offering. Then watch a short cut-scene. Now you can go to the next location.

Make an Offering to the Nest: Sirikoro Peak

You don't have to climb the mountain. Go down to its foot from the beach area. There you will see the entrance to the cave, next to which the fairy will fly. Approach her and escort her to the boy. Talk to Roo and then touch the nest. You again have to collect feathers, which will now be under water.

Feather 1

To lower the water you will need to bring 3 fairies to their pedestals. You already found one of them earlier, so it remains to find two more. The second fairy is on the giant root at the top, to the right of the child.

The third fairy should be looked for below, near the lamp, to the left of the boy. Just plan for it. Then summon an Electrograna to return to the top with Thunder Orbs. When all the fairies are in their places, a chest will appear, and the water will immediately leave. Now you can jump down.

All three feathers will lie in one place, but only one can be taken - the rest will fly forward. Follow them.

Feather 2: Relay Stones Puzzle

Deal with two Rift Pups along the way and make your way past the force field. You will find yourself near a door and a puzzle with relay stones. You will need to place them in the right way to unlock the switch.

The screenshot above shows where the relay stones will need to be placed. Then take the Elemental Reaction: Crystallize near the entrance to the location, not far from the mushroom (1st screenshot below). The electric stones will remain connected.

Approach the stones near the wall with the owl drawing and place the Elemental Reaction: Crystallize so that it creates a link (2nd screenshot above). Take the relay stone from the bushes (3rd screenshot above). Now head to the left (if facing the round door) and place the Elemental Reaction: Crystallize to connect the last electro-stones (4th screenshot above).

Next, simply interact with the console to open the door. Deal with the guardian of the ruins and touch the next feather. The third feather will again elude you, hiding behind a new door.

Feather 3: Relay Stones Puzzle

First of all, you will need to flush the water in the room, bringing 3 fairies to their pedestals near the locked console. The first spirit is near the entrance, on a column. You will have to climb the columns behind him.

The second is in a small cave with a picture on the wall and a mechanism. The third can be found behind the stones. Destroy them with any melee attacks. As soon as you bring the fairies to their houses, you will have access to the console - interact with it to make the water go away. Now you will have to solve the relay stones puzzle again.

The picture above shows the places where the "orphan" relay stones are located, and the points where they need to be installed. So, pick up two crystals in the lower section of the hall that you just unlocked. One of them is located in the center of the area, next to the web, and the other connects two electro-stones (they will continue to work). See screenshots below.

Go a little to the northwest and place one Elemental Reaction: Crystallize between the electro-stones on the floor and wall. Climb up and take another relay stone in the ruins of the building. There is also a chest here. See images below (1st and 2nd).

Place one of the collected crystals between the two electro-stones shown in the 3rd picture above. Next, place the last relay stone between the next two electro-stones (see the 4th screenshot). This can be a little difficult to do.

After that, you should have access to the console. Interact with her and go through the opened door. Pick up the feather and then return to the tree. If you don't want to stomp all the way back, just move to the previous shrine and re-enter the cave. Touch the nest and watch the cut-scene. Chat with Roo and activate the teleport located on top of the mountain. You can then glide from it to get to the next nesting site.

Make Nest Offering: Autake Plains

There will be mobs near the nesting site. Deal with them, and then talk to the child and touch the tree to watch another cutscene with flying feathers. You will have to find them again. Get ready for a lot of battles too.

Feather 1

It is located in front and to the right of the tree, if you stand with your back to it. There is also a group of hilichurls here. Kill them. The pen will fly away. Summon an Electrograna and run after the feather to the barrier. Then he will again fly a little forward. Run after him. Take it and deal with new monsters.

Feather 2

It is located on the roof of the Hilichurl shack. Here, too, you will have to fight with a group of opponents.

Feather 3

It is located at the foot of the hill on which the tree stands. Again, you will have to deal with several monsters before you can pick up the right item.

After collecting the feathers, return to the nesting place and touch it. Watch the cut-scene in which the last patch of fog disappears.

How to find Maushiro

Now return to the place of the ritual. It is here that we must find a musical instrument. Examine the glow in the distance to pick up Maushiro.

Next, you will need to return to Rito. Approach Kame, who will be waiting for you on the shore of Tsurumi Island, and then talk to Sumida again in Inazuma. We learn interesting information. This will end the task. As a reward, you will receive 450 Adventure Points, 5 Hero XP, 50 Source Stones, 4 Enchant Magic Ore, and 50,000 Pestilence. Plus, you will unlock the trophy “P- Paimon ate her…”. In addition, after a real day, you can start the mission "Octave of the Maushiro".
