Back to Normal: The Story Hidden in the Bottle in Genshin Impact: restore the central node

In Genshin Impact, Back to Normal: The Story Hidden in the Bottle is the second mission of the questline. "A story about a dream and a beginning!" and part of the event "Summer! Amusement park? Mirage!". As part of it, you have to restore the central node and climb to its top. If you're having trouble starting and completing the quest, check out our guide.

Passage of the task "Back to Normal: The Story Hidden in the Bottle"

How to start a task

You will receive it in automatic mode immediately after completing the last mission of the chain called "Tree Theatre, Candle Flame, Shadow Dance". If this does not happen, then try logging out of your account, wait 20-30 minutes and re-login.

So, the first thing you will need to do is head to the center of the Mirage to meet up with Idia and friends. Travel to the location indicated by the quest marker - it is located near the circular area where you first met the Hydro Eidolon.

How to restore the central node using a preprint

After the conversation, you will see a drawing on the wall that repeats the main knot. You will need to interact with the stream projector and correctly place the previously found parts in it. The correct sequence looks like this:

• At the “Upstairs” you should place the Climbing Rope.
• The Familiar box of chocolates should be placed in the center.
• Place a Camping Lantern at the bottom.

As soon as you correctly install all the details, a long cutscene will start, during which you will learn the backstory of Idia and how exactly the Mirage Veluriam arose.

How to climb to the top of the central node

When the cutscene ends, travel to the teleporter in the center of town and then start climbing up using the four leaf symbols. When you reach the quest marker, you will receive a new task.

The central hub is like a Ferris wheel, so you have to wait until one of the green booths pulls up to you, which you can easily glide onto. After going upstairs, watch a new cutscene, after which the quest will come to an end.

Note that this will also end the entire main storyline of Mirage Velurium. As a reward for the mission, you will receive 20 primogems, 4 magical enhancement ores, 2 hero books and 20 thousand pestilence.
