Passage of the quest "Poetic Genius Ingenium"

How to start a task

Before you can take on this mission, you will need to meet a couple of conditions, which include:

Reach at least 34 Mastering level.
Complete the story quest chain called "Hyperion Tower".

After dealing with the indicated requirements, move to the Exalted Sanctuary and head to the entrance to the Office of the Balance Commission. Near it you will find Guanda, over which an exclamation mark will hang. Talk to him and choose an option "Is there trouble?" .

Walk around the Exalted Sanctuary and take down the announcements

Guanda will ask you to find and tear down some posters in the Exalted Shrine. Fortunately, their location will be indicated on the map. You can interact with any of them, as they will all lead you to the same place.

Find the owner - Tsuna

Immediately after the conversation, turn right and go to the foot of the stairs. There you will find a poster. It will tell about the missing Fungizontik. If you have already completed the secret quest "Crane Express", then you probably remember that on the 2nd day you found the right robot in the container. In this case, you can immediately go to Tsun.

Note: Most likely, you can go to Tsun without finding the right robot.

Climb the stairs and turn left - the character you need will be sitting at a table with an umbrella. Talk to him and ask him about the announcement of the lost item. Then you can choose any answers, since Tsun will send you in search of the sadweaver anyway.

Find the sadweaver

You can find the drone on the first level of the location to the right of the entrance to the office. Enter into a dialogue with him. Then choose an option "Open the back panel of the mushroom" . You will now need to fix it by solving a small jade circuit puzzle.

To solve the riddle, you will need to follow these steps:

Select the bottom right hexagon and rotate it counterclockwise once (first screenshot).
Select the top left hexagon and rotate it clockwise once (second screenshot).

After solving the riddle, simply take the sadweaver to Tsun by going upstairs and approaching the table. Chat with the "poet" again. You can choose any answers. He will tell you about three more robots to find.

Find a Boundary Weaver at the Alchemy Commission

If you haven't opened the teleport next to the quest marker yet, move to the Apothecary Market anchor and then run east. After going down, turn right and start moving down the stairs. By the way, you will have to notice the desired robot already on the upper platform.

The border guard is located near the pier. Talk to him. You can choose any answers, as he will attack you anyway. We are talking about an enemy that is vulnerable to electrical, wind and quantum damage, so we advise you to take the damage dealers of these elements.

This enemy is able to summon Dragonfish and inflict Imprisonment on your characters, so it is worth taking a support that can remove debuffs. Destroy the fish as quickly as possible so that they explode and damage the boss.

Once you've dealt with the enemy, you'll receive the Outpost Inspiration Jade Score. Then Tsun will write to you. You can answer him however you like, as this will not affect the ending. Head for the next robot.

Find the Lyricoplet at the Star Skiff Refuge

Travel to the Star-Sailboat Landing and then head northwest to the entrance to the Exalted Shrine. There you will find the robot you need - interact with it.

Collect breakup scenes for inspiration

You will need to take pictures of people saying goodbye to each other sincerely. Several places will be marked on the map, however, only 3 of them will suit you, which we will indicate below. The first location is on the south bridge. There you will find a couple who are breaking up due to lack of money for housing. You will receive a picture "Bitterness of Parting".

The second location is located north of the snack kiosk. You will find here a father saying goodbye to his son, deciding to go on a journey. You will receive a photo "Traveler's Farewell".

The third location is in the northeast corner of the location. Here you will find the poet saying goodbye to his long-lived friend. You will receive a photo "Everyone goes his own way". Now you can return to the lyricist. Give him the pictures.

Next, you will need to help him write a poem. You can choose any answers, as they will not affect your reward or ending. You will receive inspiration from the robot: Lyrics. Read the new post by Price.

Find the Rhymer in the Exalted Shrine

The work you need is located near the bookstore in the southeastern part of the location. Talk to the fish robot. He will only give you his bills if you show him an understanding of rhyme and rhythm. To do this, you will need to give the correct answers to his questions.

The first line: "I collect chrysanthemums for a glass of wine." Answer:

Under the glow of the sunset, the sleeves cast a shadow.

I'll start: words are silver. Answer:

Silence is gold.

As a result, you will receive the "Collection of passing clouds" and the "Rhyme" inspiration abacus. Note that if you give the correct answers to the rhyming questions the first time, you will open the achievement "Master of Literature" from Our Memories. Now it's time to return to Tsun.

Witness Tsun's confession

Give the "poet" all the collected scores and the book. Next, you will need to come up with a line for the poem. We chose the first option: “The love that I closed in myself from the very first days of my life” , however, this doesn't appear to affect the reward or ending of the quest, so you can choose either option.

Move to the anchor "Conference Hall" in the Divination Commission and go upstairs. Then approach Jingzhai and watch a short cutscene. In our case, she will send Tsun off. You will need to catch up with him - he will run away to the pier in the east.

Ask Jingzhai colleagues

You will need to talk to Minyue, Huixing, and Jingzhai herself to find out about her interests and hobbies. They are all in one place, so there should be no problems finding them. After collecting the necessary information, return to Tsun and chat with him.

You will understand that Cong is the reincarnated Guyu. He will want to confess to Jingzhai again. To do this, you need to choose a gift. We offered to take a sign with the inscription "Ingenious soothsayer".

Buy a Jingzhai Gift

The gift we have chosen can be bought in the Central Harbor of the Star-Yawk Shelter from Prodavan. Then attend the next confession.

Give Tsun a gift. However, the girl will still reject him. Return to the Exalted Shrine and speak with Tsun on the ground. This task will come to an end. As a reward, you will receive 300 exploration experience, 40 star jade, 80 thousand credits, 25 arrows, 8 traveler's guides, 3 refined ether and 6 lost crystals.
