Follow this Genshin Impact guide to successfully complete the Wild Escape Archon Quest, from escaping the Cathedral to hiding in the Angel's Share Tavern and talking with Diluc.
Alright, so you've just nabbed the Holy Lyre, or at least, you were *supposed* to. Turns out, someone else swiped it right from under your nose! The guards are on your tail, so it's time for a quick exit. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it.
- 1
Where am I? Right after the cutscene, you're still near the Cathedral, but the guards are alerted. You've got about 50 seconds to make a break for it.
What do I do? You need to use the wind currents to get away. Jump off the balcony and ride them. They'll carry you past the big statue.
Why this way? Stick to the currents; they're the fastest way out and will drop you right outside the Angel's Share Tavern. If you miss them, you'll likely get caught.

Where am I? You've just landed outside the Angel's Share Tavern.
What do I see? Inside, you'll see the bartender, Charles, chatting with Diluc. Venti will pop in, asking for a quiet spot.
What do I do? Head inside. Venti will suggest the second floor is less crowded. Diluc notices something odd about Venti and asks Charles to keep an eye on you.
Why this way? You need to get out of sight of the guards, and the tavern is your best bet.

Where am I? You're now inside the Angel's Share Tavern.
What do I do? Go upstairs using the spiral staircase and find a seat. You'll see two guards questioning Diluc about some thieves.
Why this way? Diluc is covering for you. He'll hear the guards' description and then send them away, giving you the all-clear for now.

Where am I? Still in the Angel's Share Tavern, now that the guards have left.
What do I do? Head back downstairs and talk to Diluc. Venti will try to order a drink, but Diluc cuts to the chase, demanding answers. Paimon will clarify that you weren't the one who stole the Lyre, and the real culprits are still out there. Diluc expresses his admiration for your daring, but also his disdain for the Knights.
Why this way? Diluc is a powerful ally, and getting him on your side (or at least, not against you) is crucial. He'll offer some advice about the wanted poster and suggest meeting up later.

- Keep an eye on the timer when you first need to escape the Cathedral. Those wind currents are your only way out!
- Diluc is a man of few words but has a strong sense of justice. Be honest with him; he might surprise you with his support.
- The wanted poster only shows a blonde thief, which is why Diluc thinks Venti is safe, but it's a close call!
