Follow this Genshin Impact walkthrough for the Turning Point Archon Quest. Learn how to protect the Guizhong Ballistas from the Fatui and defeat the ancient god Osial with Adepti buffs.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The quest begins after a cutscene and requires you to protect the East, North, and West Guizhong Ballistas from the Fatui.
  2. 2
    Portals near each Ballista will continuously spawn Fatui enemies who will prioritize destroying the Ballistas.
  3. 3
    Monitor the health of each Ballista via the objective information in the upper left corner of the screen.
  4. 4
    Defeat enemies quickly to prevent the Ballistas from being destroyed. If a Ballista is destroyed, you will be sent back to Liyue Harbor and must return to the Jade Chamber.
  5. 5
    After the first wave, Osial will unleash a powerful, un-marked area-of-effect attack in the center of the arena. Avoid this attack to prevent major damage.
  6. 6
    Madame Ping will then grant you a buff that causes your attacks to unleash shockwaves, dealing significant damage to nearby Fatui.
  7. 7
    Ganyu will follow up with a defense buff, increasing your survivability.
  8. 8
    Xiao will then grant a speed buff, allowing you to sprint without consuming Stamina, making dodging Osial's subsequent attacks much easier.
  9. 9
    You will eventually receive all three Adepti buffs simultaneously.
  10. 10
    The Fatui will then spawn from all three portals concurrently, requiring you to move between them rapidly. The speed buff is crucial here.
  11. 11
    Continue defeating the Fatui and monitoring the Ballista health, which will decrease more rapidly now.
  12. 12
    After defeating several more waves of Fatui, the battle will conclude, leading to a series of cutscenes and the end of the quest.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on the Ballista health at all times.
  • Prioritize eliminating Fatui near a damaged Ballista.
  • The Adepti buffs significantly ease the difficulty, especially the speed buff for dodging and repositioning.
  • Osial's central arena attack has no AoE marker, so be vigilant.
