In Genshin Impact The Forgotten Thief is the first chapter legend quests Lyney "Spotted cat". During it, you will need to ask people, search the workshop, clean the mechanism, open the secret passage, inspect the secret room and watch the magic show of twin magicians. In this guide, we will tell you how to start this quest, and what you need to do to complete it completely.
How to start the legends quest "The Forgotten Thief"
The actions of the first chapter of the magician's personal quest take place on the territory of Fontaine, which can be entered far from immediately. Plus, you have to fulfill a number of conditions, namely:
- Reach at least Adventure Rank 40. In separate guide we have made several recommendations for increasing this value quickly.
- Complete the Archon quest called "Like a light rain for no reason", which is the second chapter of the fourth Thoma of the game's main storyline.
- Prepare one Story Key by completing 8 daily quests (only 4 such missions can be completed per day). You can keep no more than three keys with you at the same time (another one may be on the balance sheet), so you won’t be able to save them in reserve.
Having dealt with all the specified conditions, open the quest log, go to the "Legend Quests" tab and select the required hero. Then just unlock access to his quest.
The Phantom Thief’s Reappearance
Talk to Charlotte
Go to Cours-de- Fontaine; from the teleport go down to the northeast. Watch the conversation between Charlotte and Abagnale. After that, the journalist will notice you and start asking questions about the Elusive Ermine - an uncaught thief who stole the most expensive and important things for people. The crimes stopped a long time ago when the illusionist Cesar died, but recently the criminal posted a note publicly that he would soon appear in the theater.
The Interview Lyney
Climb up the stairs and talk to the illusionist. Lyney wants to expose Ermine before he enters the theater and you decide to help him.
Find Gemma in the graveyard
Head south from the village of Poisson. Lynette is already waiting for you there. She couldn't find Gemma, Cesar's love, so you need to find her yourself.
Ask around people
Talk to Balthazar and Gracia.
A wounded Gemma will come to the cemetery, but you will not learn anything from her.
The Magician’s Secret
Wait for the morning
In the Paimon menu, set the clock hands to 8-12 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Go to the Debor Hotel restaurant. Lyney arranged a meeting with Lorenzo, Cesar's assistant.
Talk to Lorenzo
Once again, you will not get any information from Lorenzo, but his acquaintance Edmondo will jostle into your conversation.
Find Edmondo
Exit the restaurant and go right. Edmondo will only advise you not to mess with Lorenzo and leave, but Lyney will notice that you are being followed.
Lure pursuers to the outskirts of the city
Go to Marcotte station and go down to the water. Fight the pursuers - for this time Lyney will be in your squad. You will learn that the criminals have already intimidated someone - probably Gemma.
Talk to Gemma
Return to the city, to the cafe "Lucerne".
Go to Cesar's Workshop
The workshop is located in the underground part of Cours-de-Fontaine called Flev Sandres. Head to the east of this location.
Enter the workshop
The workshop is a story dungeon. The game recommends adding Pyro element characters to the team - you will definitely have one, since you will receive Lyney as a trial hero. You have to fight with various meks, so it will be useful to take with you characters with powers Pneuma and Ushii - for example, you can take Lynette in a pair with Lyney . However, if your main squad is already so well pumped, he can do without this mechanic.
Go forward through the workshop. Pass through the abyss on the mobile plates.
At the door of the next room, a special mechanism is activated - you need to fix the two jumping figures by attacking them. You can aim at the right place in advance with your bow and shoot when the figure appears.
In the next room, fight 3 Meks. After that, solve the puzzle with moving figures again. Examine them to read the wish list.
Activate the lift and go to the top floor.
You need to activate two mechanisms and solve figurine puzzles.
First, activate the right mechanism. One of the figures will light up, after which they will all move to new places. You need to shoot at the one that glowed at the beginning. This is a figurine on a low box next to the balls. You can then read the wish list attached to it.
Let's move on to the mechanism on the left. The principle of the riddle is the same. This time, the figurine will move to another pile of boxes and fit on the bottom. You will be able to read the wish list again.
Go to the round passage and move on.
In the workshop , Lyney will find a secret passage. Open the regular chest and go up the stairs.
Defeat a group of meks, take a rich chest and move on.
Activate the lift.
Deal with a couple of meks. Lyney will find a certain mechanism and leave your squad for a while to study it.
Exit the room, go up the stairs and activate the mechanism. You need to activate all the tiles without stepping on the same one twice. The picture below shows one of the possible passage schemes. Keep in mind that you can’t go from the tiles to the floor either, otherwise you will have to go through again.
Go to the opened passage. Read all the entries in Cesar's diary - you will find out that Lyney and Lynette were his students, and Lorenzo did not approve of this.
Return to Lyney. He found out that Lorenzo changed the location of the button in the "death box", because of which Cesar could not perform the trick and died.
Fight Lorenzo's henchmen who have appeared and talk to him yourself.
After the cutscene, you can pick up the precious chest and leave the workshop.
Talk to Gemma
Go back to the cafe in town and tell Gemma everything.
The Truest Thing
Wait for the evening
Change the clock to 18-20 hours the next day.
