In Genshin Impact meetings with Shikanoin Shikanoin Heizou represent a special type of legend quest, where you have to choose different answers as part of a conversation with the characters and make a variety of decisions to unlock all available endings.
By unlocking new endings, you will receive various rewards, including source stones, additional pictures for his abode and materials for the elevation of characters. In this guide, we will tell you about all the choices and actions that you need to make to view the entire story.
How to start and complete meetings with Shikanoin Shikanoin Heizou
You will be able to take on this quest chain if you meet certain requirements, namely:
- Have at least Adventure Rank 40. In our separate material tips on how to quickly increase this indicator are presented.
- Complete the Archon quest titled "Omnipresence Over Mortals", which is the 3rd chapter of Thoma II of the main storyline.
- Complete the Raiden Shogun Legends Quest "Fleeting Dreams" , which is the 2nd chapter of her story "mortal world".

- Prepare 2 Legend Keys by completing exactly 16 daily errands (only 4 such missions can be completed per day). We add that at the same time you can have no more than 3 keys with you, so it will not be possible to save them in reserve.
After fulfilling all the above conditions, open the "Legend Quests" window and go to the "Meetings" section. There, find the required character and unlock the meeting with him.
This guide does not contain a detailed description of absolutely all the events that will take place as part of the task, so as not to spoil your impression of independent passage. We will only talk about the key forks, the actions and decisions in which can have an impact on the opening of the endings. The article will also look at all the puzzles, give answers to quiz questions and show the location of important objects.
Remember that you do not have to start the quest chain from scratch to open all the finals. You can easily go to any fork you need in the "Meeting: Shikanoin Heizou" window. In addition, after the release of update 2.2, the game now indicates the options you previously selected.
Note: We add that during a conversation with Shikanoin Shikanoin Heizou, you will surely see a scale consisting of white hearts in the upper right corner - it shows the level of attitude of the young detective towards the player. Its size does not affect the unlocking of the endings, but if it drops to zero, the meeting will immediately end, forcing you to return to the last fork reached. Hearts can be lost due to rude behavior or choosing the wrong answers.
