In Genshin Impact “Gradus ad Capitolium” is one of the required stages of Chapter 3 of the story quest “ Odes to Harmony ", passing within Seas of antiquity. The heroes continue to explore the underwater world of fallen Remuria, trying to destroy the plans of Boethius. The villain locks Cassiodor in his astral palace - he needs to get into the castle as soon as possible and free his new friend.
Before you get to the palace of gold, you will have to restore the Golden Paths along which the will of Phobos once flowed. In the guide we will tell you where the missing symphonies are located that can repair bridges, and how to solve puzzles with forges and phantom birds.
How to start the quest series “Gradus ad Capitolium”
In order to start completing the quest, you need to finish the previous chapters " Odes to Harmony ", including:
- "The Dream of Petrichor";
- "Palace of the Sea Monster";
- "In shackles."
Chapter III " Rhapsody of Pharsalia " will begin after you follow Scylla into the Achievement: Gate of Janus. Passing the collapsing depression, the heroes appear before the majestic ruins of the main palace of the once prosperous Remuria.
The prince of dragons, not wanting to meet with the traitor Boethius, will propose to split up, and the rest of the team will have to swim to the entrance to the golden capitol.
Head to the golden palace
When the team and the whale are separated, swim to the side Capitol Hill. You can not only swim to the quest marker on your own, but also use Scylla's power.
Swim up to the whale (or point the camera in its direction and then press “T”) and apply the “ Summon Current " Then aim the sight to the end of the bridge leading to the area in front of the palace, and right-click in the chosen direction - the spirit of the dragon prince will speed up your path with the help of the current.
For the first time by creating a current with the power of a whale, you will receive achievement " Vishap Express Scylla " Remember that while moving through a stream, you should periodically press spacebar (or an action icon in the middle for mobile phones) so as not to stop halfway.
In front of the entrance, guarded by a company of golem knights, Boethius will be waiting for us. The man, unwilling to return to the yoke of the evil Fate, intends to use the power of Phobos and restore the glory of his ambitious nation.
Determined to seize power and want to bring justice to the inhabitants of the surface, the Remurian kidnaps our tailed friend, but the Traveler manages to teleport after him at the last moment.
The portal takes us deep into the astral palace, supported by a special symphony. The presence of an alien was not part of the usurper’s plans, so Boethius decides to detain us.
Defeat the golems
Three stone knights will act against us on the golden stage, and we will only be able to control for the weak GG. Try hard you shouldn't attack them , because soon an old friend will come to our aid. The battle itself will last about 30 seconds until it is completed.
Explore the mysterious space
Ossie, who has transformed into a Remurian, helps us out. He reveals that Boethius intends to immerse the surface in his own nightmarish illusion. Only the Traveler, whose fate is not subject to the poisoned symphony, is able to resist it. A friend will help us get out of the trap, but he himself will not be able to leave the place.
Returning to reality to Paimon, the heroes must restore the Golden Paths associated with the power of Phobos - this is the only way to weaken the defense of the golden castle.
At this point, the quest is divided into two mini-tasks with solving puzzles, after which you can return to the main branch.
Restoring the Golden Path I
The first "Golden Path" can be repaired after solving the two-step puzzle with the forge and ghostly birds, located north of the flooded Street of Nobility. We have placed its step-by-step analysis in separate guide.
Restoring the Golden Path II
The second route leading to the puzzle is under the Court of Harmony. We also talked about all the stages of solving this puzzle in separate article.
Travel to the Golden Paths
When all the bridges are restored, we will again plunge into Rem's memories and see the last moments of his life. The next goal is to launch Requiem and destroy the monster guarding the palace. This will complete the current mission, giving us 40 primogems and some materials for upgrading heroes as a reward.
Achievement "Vishap Express Scylla"
During the mission "Staircase to the Capitol", we discover the "Call the Current" mechanic, which can be used through the whale Scylla. The first time you use this power to overcome a water distance, you will unlock the achievement “ Vishap Express Scylla "with a reward of 5 primogems.
