In Genshin Impact The warmth of lies is the first chapter legend quests Sijwin "Nereid". During it, you will need to investigate a complicated case related to cosmetics. To do this, you have to collect materials, ask researchers, explore the underground laboratory and get out. In this guide you will learn how to start this quest and what you need to do to complete it.
How to start the legends quest “The Warmth of Lies”
The events of the first part of the personal quest of the head nurse of the Meropid fortress unfold on the territory of Fontaine, which will not be accessible immediately. Plus, you must comply with a number of conditions, namely:
- Receive at least Adventure Rank 40. In separate guide We have given several recommendations for quickly increasing this parameter.
- Complete the Archon quest called "Masquerade of the Guilty", which is the fifth chapter of the fourth Thoma of the game's main storyline.
- Complete Furina's personal quest “The Little Oceanid”, which is the first chapter of the “Kapellmeister” chain.
- Prepare one Story Key by completing 8 daily errands (you can complete only 4 such missions per day). You can keep no more than three keys with you at the same time (another one can be “on the balance sheet”), so you won’t be able to save them in reserve.
Having resolved the issue with all the specified requirements, open the quest log, go to the “Legend Quests” tab and select the required heroine. Then simply unlock access to her mission and start tracking.

Talk to Sijwin
After watching the presentation of a new skin care product - “Butterfly Dew” - ask Sijwin for advice. Rawat, the creator of the cosmetics, will give you two copies for free. When he leaves, Sidzhvin will ask you to collect Recipe Item to improve the product.
Gather materials
Travel to the west of the city. On the shore you will have to fight the phantasm of muddy waters and get its extract.
Then go underwater and defeat the armored crab. To make the battle easier, borrow the ability of the xenochrome crab swimming nearby. Victory will bring you a concentrated foreign pearl.

Meet Sijwin
From your room in the fortress, go to the infirmary. Wriothesley will tell you that there has been confusion in the case he is investigating: the prisoners claim that they were mistakenly mistaken for other people. Officer Morgan will provide you with statements from the criminals.
Find Eric
Reread the testimony again: there the prisoner Enri claims that he is actually Eric. Talk to the man sitting on the rightmost bunk and make sure of his words.
Sijwin will suggest that the criminals used a Potion to change faces, which even the Melusines cannot recognize. You will also learn that the attackers have already escaped.
Melusine from the Twilight Court Siya will tell you that Rawat can help - criminals stole technology from him.
Go to the Research Institute and ask the researchers
Teleport to the New Research Institute and talk to Bognor.
Then go outside and talk to:
- Antibom (on the path, near the wooden board)
- Audrey (on the bridge)
- And Bertram (after Audrey, go to the tower and jump off the bridge)
Meet members of the Twilight Court
Return to the teleporter, go out onto the path and talk to the officers.
Go to Rawat's mother's house
Travel to the teleporter northwest of Cour de Fontaine and head to the edge of the map in the same direction. When Siya opens the door, enter the house. You won't be able to talk to Rawat's mother because of her serious condition, but you and Sijwin will stay and try to help her.

It is a story dungeon, for which the game advises you to take Hydro characters - they can really be useful in the battle with Pyro slimes, but you can still take any convenient heroes. A trial Sijvin will also be added to your squad.
Look deeper
Go forward along the road and fight two waves of Treasure Thieves and Meks, then arrest the criminals.

Potton will have time to escape and release poisonous gas into the room. Sijwin will be able to convince him and make a deal: Potton will let you go in exchange for a Potion from the nurse.
Get out of the laboratory
Take the precious chest and go to the exit.
Follow Potton
Go to Rawat's mother's house. There you will find Potton. He will tell you that due to external flaws he was unable to lead a normal life, so he became the handsome Rawat.
