Follow our expert guide to complete Act I: A Record of All Things in Genshin Impact. Learn the best path to Guyun Stone Forest and how to deal with any unexpected encounters.

Alright, let's tackle Act I: A Record of All Things in Genshin Impact. This part of the story wraps up some loose ends and sets you up for the next steps with Zhongli. It's pretty straightforward, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to Guyun Stone Forest and talk to Zhongli: Your first objective is to reach Zhongli in Guyun Stone Forest. The fastest way to get there is to teleport to the Domain of Guyun. From there, make your way east, positioning yourself between the two large mountains. Then, turn southeast and start climbing the big mountain.
  2. 2
    Make the climb easier: This climb can be a bit of a stamina drain. To help with that, I recommend using the terrain to your advantage. There are plenty of ledges and spots where you can stop to regain your Stamina. If you're still finding it tough, consider using an item like Sticky Honey Roast, which reduces climbing Stamina consumption by 25%, or a Norther Smoked Chicken to instantly restore up to 60 Stamina.
  3. 3
    Deal with any threats: As you get closer to the top, you might run into three Abyss Mages. Don't worry, they aren't directly part of the quest, but you won't be able to interact with Zhongli or trigger the cutscene until you're out of combat. You can either defeat them or just run past them to get away.
  4. 4
    Talk to Zhongli and complete the quest: Once you've cleared the area or escaped the Abyss Mages, approach Zhongli. Talking to him will trigger a cutscene, and once that's finished, the quest, 'Act I: A Record of All Things,' will be complete.
Tips
  • Don't forget to bring some Stamina-boosting food or items if you're struggling with the climb.
  • If you're low on health or want to speed things up, consider bringing a character with crowd-control abilities to deal with the Abyss Mages quickly.
