This quest starts as you enter Sumeru for the first time. This begins your journey into Sumeru as you seek the Dendro Archon to ask about your sister. You’ll have to learn how to get into Sumeru and complete A Forest of Change.

Further Observation

After Tighnari treats you and Paimon, you have to go find Collei and help her out with some chores. You’ll need to find the Statue of the Seven, clean it with Collei, resonate with the Dendro Archon statue (can be skipped if you have already resonated with him), return to Gandharva Ville, and wait until the next day.

Chronic Illness

Collei acted violently after Paimon played with her, and you’ll learn about why and more about Collei’s past in the emotional Chronic Illness quest.

Silent Seeker of Knowledge
