I’ve been diving deep into the new waters of Fontaine with the latest Genshin Impact update, version 4.6, and let me tell you, it’s been one heck of a ride. The world feels more alive than ever with a whole series of brand-new World Quests waiting to be unraveled. These aren't just your run-of-the-mill tasks to tick off a list; they’re stories woven into the very fabric of the region, offering lore, unlocking hidden corners of the map, and, of course, showering us with those precious Primogems. I spent the last few weeks getting lost in these tales, and I’m here to share my journey through every single one of them, from the eerie shores of Petrichor to the sunken grandeur of ancient Remuria.

1. The Shadow Over Petrichor
It all started in the little town of Petrichor. Man, the atmosphere there was thick with… something. Not just fog, but a real sense of unease. I teleported in, and right near the Statue of The Seven, two NPCs were huddled together, looking spooked. Talking to them kicked everything off. This quest had me poking around, trying to figure out what was causing all the strange happenings. It was a perfect, moody introduction, and honestly? A bit creepy. The reward was a sweet 30 Primogems for my trouble.
2. Underwater Nocturne
No time to catch my breath! Right after wrapping up the mystery in Petrichor, the quest log updated automatically. This one sent me plunging into the depths towards the Faded Castle. The goal? To rescue the folks from Petrichor. The underwater visuals in Fontaine are stunning, but exploring a mysterious sunken castle adds a whole new layer of awe… and slight claustrophobia. Another 30 Primogems for the rescue mission felt just right.
3. The Last Day of Remuria
The plot thickened like Fontaine’s famous stew. After the underwater adventure, I learned the true identity of Monsieur Os (no spoilers, but wow!). This revelation automatically sent me on a chase across the Sea of Bygone Eras, hunting for a character named Boethius. It’s quests like these that make you feel like a real detective in Teyvat, connecting dots across the storyline. Another 30 Primogems landed in my pocket.
4. Gradus ad Capitolium
The chase was on! This quest picked up right where the last one ended, leading me to the heart of the ancient, sunken capital—Domus Aurea in Remuria. Just saying the name gives me chills. The architecture down there is something else… all crumbling glory and forgotten power. This was clearly building up to a major confrontation with Boethius. The stakes felt higher, and so did the reward: a hefty 40 Primogems.
5. Fortune Plango Vulnera
Showtime. This was the epic finale of the arc, the big showdown with Boethius to protect Monsieur Os and the town. The battle was intense, mixing mechanics with story in a way only Genshin can. When the dust settled, it felt like I’d truly completed a chapter. The game acknowledged the effort with another 40 Primogems. Phew!
6. For Yesterday and Tomorrow
Every good story needs an epilogue. With the crisis over, I headed back to Petrichor to check on everyone. This quest, "For Yesterday and Tomorrow," served as the perfect, quiet conclusion to the whole "Prisoner in Shackles" series. It’s about tying up loose ends and seeing the consequences of your actions. To start it, I just met up with an NPC named Este in town. A calm 20 Primogems was the reward—a gentle wind-down after all the drama.
7. Latecoming Homecoming
Now for some of the more standalone stories. This was a short but sweet quest about a character named Giustino deciding to return home to Petrichor. To unlock it, you need to finish the bigger "Canticles of Harmony" series first and then wait for a daily reset. After that, just chat with a lady NPC near the Waverider Waypoint in Petrichor. Simple, heartfelt, and a nice slice-of-life moment. The Primogem reward is a bit of a mystery, but the story is its own reward, you know?
8. Where His Life Lies
This one required a bit of prep! It starts in the Court of Fontaine, at the Court Region Waterway Hub, by talking to Garcia. But here’s the kicker: you must have completed an older quest in Sumeru called "Garcia's Paean: A Gift of Compatibility" first. It’s a cool callback that makes the world feel connected. The quest dives into Garcia's story, and again, the exact Primogem count is unknown, but it’s worth it for the lore hounds out there.
9. Daydreams Beyond Space and Time
And the story continues! This is a direct follow-up to "Where His Life Lies." Once you finish that, just wait for another daily reset, and it’ll pop up in your Quest Menu. It’s fascinating how some of these stories unfold over "in-game" days, making the world’s timeline feel more organic. Another quest with an unknown Primogem reward, but by this point, I’m just invested in seeing where Garcia’s journey leads.
My Final Thoughts on the 4.6 Quests
Hopping between these quests, I’ve gotta say, the developers have outdone themselves. The new content isn't just filler; it’s essential world-building. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you’re getting into:
| Quest Series | Primary Location | Key Feeling | Approx. Primogems (Known) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prisoner in Shackles (Quests 1-6) | Petrichor & Sea of Bygone Eras | Epic, Mysterious, Climactic | 190 |
| Character Epilogues (Quest 7) | Petrichor | Heartwarming, Reflective | Unknown |
| Garcia's Saga (Quests 8-9) | Court of Fontaine | Intriguing, Interconnected | Unknown |
What I loved most was the variety. You’ve got the epic, multi-part saga, the quiet character moments, and the stories that bridge regions. It makes Fontaine feel massive and lived-in. So, if you’re sitting on a pile of Resin and wondering what to do, forget about it for a while. Go talk to that nervous-looking NPC, follow that strange light, or just sail to a new island. The real treasure of version 4.6 isn’t just the Primogems—it’s the stories you’ll find. And trust me, there are plenty waiting. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I hear another quest calling my name from the depths...
