Walkthrough of the Special Friends quest in Genshin Impact

Try to make new acquaintances so that the Tepetlisaurus can play with other saurians and animals. But everything goes wrong - the Yumkasaurus herder senses the aura of danger from the Traveler and goes on the attack.

Calm the Yumkasaurus

An overly cautious Saurian will break into battle - you won't be able to possess it, so you'll have to fight a bit. It's weaker than regular open-world enemies, so defeating it won't take much effort or time.

The fight will be interrupted by Vaktana, who will explain that the little beast is simply doing its job well and is worried about the herd. Talk to the calmed down yumkasaurus, but the attempt to make friends will still be unsuccessful.

Talk to the alpacas

Meet the other alpacas in the field - the feisty, the numb, and the gluttonous. Each will be busy with their own affairs, not wanting to interact with the tepetlisaur.

Look what the saurian satellite found

Go to the abyss where the Tepetlizaur stopped and calls his friends. The kid found a timid alpaca that got stuck on the platform and can't climb up to the field on its own. Find a way to rescue her and return the missing one to the herd.

Make a path using wooden planks

Lift the boards behind you and leave them at the edge for the alpaca to climb up. Return to the shepherdess Waktana, waiting in the tent at the other end of the field, and ask her to keep a closer eye on the herd.

The girl decides to entrust this task to her zavrian Vsmyatochka, and as a token of gratitude she will offer a toy. You can take the wooden statue when the quest is over.

When you pick up the gift, you will see a notification: "Toy alpaca preserved in recreation area". You can find it together with quest "Exchange of gifts".

Before leaving, you can possess the nearest available Dendro dragon and talk to the shepherd Vsmyatochka again. Thanks to this, you will find out that all this time he was busy counting alpacas and does not want to be distracted from his work for the sake of fun.
