Ancient colors in Genshin Impact: how to start and complete

In Genshin Impact Ancient colors are Fontaine's quest chain, which consists of three acts or quests. In the course of it, you have to help the melusine named Mamer by finding colors for her, solving puzzles with prisms, fighting the gap hounds and defeating the Monstrous Baptist at the end. In this guide, we will tell you how to start the line and provide links to the walkthrough of its missions.

How to start the Ancient Colors chain

In general, there are no additional conditions for starting this quest, that is, you can start completing it immediately after you go to Fontaine. However, if the character you need is not in the place indicated below, then try to increase Adventure Rank.

Note: Be sure to activate at least one Hydro Archon Statue to receive a blessing that will allow you to swim underwater.

So, go to the Beryl region, located in the western part of Fontaine. Teleport to the statue of the Hydro Archon (or open it first), and then go a little northwest to the exclamation point. Here you will notice a group of hermits who have surrounded the melusina - approach them.

Act I: A Brush of Seafoam and Crimson

In the very first task, you will need to help the melusine, which the hermits have stuck to. Then she will agree to paint your portrait, but she will not have paints. Therefore, you will have to go in search of them. To extract dyes, you will need to solve puzzles with prisms. A detailed walkthrough is presented in our separate guide.

Act II: A Gradient of Dreams and Ochre

In the second part, Mamer will need your help in collecting unusual parts. They can be found in rich chests or obtained from other Melusines by dealing with their errands. Then you have to find the creatures in trouble by diving under the water and cutting through the seaweed. A detailed walkthrough is presented in our separate guide.

Act III: Blue Longing of Heart and Moon

In the final mission, you will learn that Jacob uses the power of the Void, turning into the Monstrous Baptist. Deal with the boss, and then let Mamer draw your portrait. As a result, you will meet with the Progenitor and find out who Seymour's mistress was. A detailed walkthrough is presented in our separate guide.

For completing the entire chain of missions, you will receive 1350 adventure points, 160 primogems, 130 thousand pestilence, 14 hero books and 16 magical enhancement ore. Plus, you will have access to new tasks.
