Learn how to complete the 'Bird's Eye View' quest in Genshin Impact. Follow Paimon, collect resources, and discover the Statue of the Seven in Starfell Lake.
Alright, let's get this 'Bird's Eye View' done! It's pretty straightforward, mostly about following Paimon and doing a bit of swimming. Don't worry, it's a chill part of the Prologue Act 1.
- 1
Where: You'll start on a trail near a river with a waterfall.
What you'll see: The riverbank has Calla Lillies. If you swim out a bit, you can find Black Bass.
What to do: Just follow the trail. Keep an eye on your stamina bar while swimming – running out means you'll drown!
Why this way: Gotta keep moving forward! Plus, those Calla Lillies and Black Bass are useful for cooking later.
- 2
Where: Further down the trail.
What you'll see: A Sunsettia tree loaded with fruit, plus some mushrooms and mint. Paimon will be waiting nearby.
What to do: Grab the Sunsettia fruit – they're small HP recovery items. Collect the mushrooms and mint too. Once you're done exploring, go talk to Paimon. She'll trigger a cutscene where she explains the Statues of the Seven.
Why this way: Sunsettia is a quick heal, and you'll want to talk to Paimon to progress the quest.
- 3
Where: Near the bottom of the slope after talking to Paimon.
What you'll see: Paimon tells you to swim to the Statue in the middle of the lake. But before that, look to your left. You'll see a floating blue spirit – that's a Mysterious Seelie!
What to do: Don't just rush to Paimon's direction! Turn left and follow the Mysterious Seelie. You'll need to chase it, climb a tree, and keep following until it flies into a statue. This statue will transform, and you can open the resulting Exquisite Chest.
Why this way: Following the Seelie is key here! If you miss it, you miss out on the treasure chest, which usually has Artifacts, Primogems, and Enhancement Ore. Always keep an eye out for these Seelies; sometimes you need to find a few to unlock a chest or objective.

Where: Back near Paimon, then Starfell Lake.
What you'll see: Paimon is waiting. There might be some squirrels around – if you kill one, it drops Raw Meat, good for cooking.
What to do: Head back to Paimon. Then, swim across Starfell Lake towards the Statue of the Seven. A cutscene will play once you reach it.
Why this way: You need to talk to Paimon to continue, and swimming to the Statue is the main objective here. Reaching the Statue unlocks a huge portion of your map!
- 5
Where: After the cutscene at the Statue of the Seven.
What you'll see: The cutscene ends.
What to do: Nothing specific, just know that after this, your Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst abilities will be unlocked. You're all set!
Why this way: This marks the end of this particular step, and you've now got access to core combat abilities!
- Keep an eye on your Stamina bar, especially when swimming. Running out can be fatal!
- Don't ignore the little things! Calla Lillies, Black Bass, Sunsettia fruit, mushrooms, mint, and even Raw Meat from squirrels can be useful for healing and cooking.
- Always follow Mysterious Seelies when you see them – they lead to treasure chests!
- Interacting with the Statue of the Seven is super important as it reveals a large chunk of your map.
