Expected lie in Fontaine. This time, the Traveler will have to go to Necker's hideout and call the researcher to justice for the crime he committed.
In this article we will tell you in detail what conditions must be met to start the quest, where to find the entrance to Necker’s lair and how to open the sealed door. Read on to learn how to defeat the mad scientist and earn the Predictable End achievement.
How to start the quest Expected Lies
In order to begin the quest An Expected Lie, you must first complete the quest "An Expected Plan", in which the Traveler and a team of researchers are looking for evidence against Necker. When the condition is met, a new goal will automatically appear in the quest log. Travel to Fort Charybdis Ruins to find Necker in his hideout.
Walkthrough of the quest Expected Lies in Genshin Impact
In the process of completing the quest, you need to descend into the depths of the lake, open the sealed age to Necker's hideout, solving the puzzle, and defeat the researcher.
Go to Necker's hideout
Travel to Mort, to the underwater ruins in the south of Fort Charybdis. First move along the shore, after which the mission marker will be under water. Go deeper into the lake until you see ruins with a closed door.
Open the sealed door
The door to the ruins is locked and to open it, you have to solve a puzzle with a flap valve, a mechanism: assembling a route and the skill of a xenochrome spherical octopus. As soon as you swim to the place, the crystal will automatically light up, allowing you to begin solving the riddle.
Find one nearby first xenochrome globular octopus and borrow his ability, then return to the door. To solve the puzzle you have to do the following:
- Hit the crystal mechanism nearby, changing its color from orange to blue, to open the partitions on the cube track.
- Use your octopus skill to rotate the flap to make the cube-shaped crystal above the door move.
- To open the door, move the cube-shaped device from the beginning to the very end of the track. Then quickly hit the crystal so that it turns orange and the partition closes.
Look for Necker
Having solved the riddle and opened the door, go through the barrier and head deeper into the cave.
Once in a large room, enter the battle and defeat the attacking mek. To make the battle easier, it is recommended to take Geo characters into your squad who will destroy the meka shields.
Defeat Necker
After defeating the mek, Necker himself will appear, with whom you need to fight. Enter the opened Hydro portal, which will send the character to the second floor, where the researcher is located. Defeat the enemy and talk to him to find out his position.
Return to Lemark
After completing the dialogue, go to Lemark's house on the mountain south of the Weeping Willow by the lake. From the nearest teleportation point, move north towards the slope and approach the house, where you will talk to the men sitting at the table.
Return to the Fontaine Research Institute
After accusing the former researchers of the crimes they committed, head to the New Fontaine Research Institute.

Necker can be found after the quest in the fortress of Meropides, but Edwin is not there, he was not shown, or is he still somewhere and you can talk to him?
Hello, I completed "Expected Lie", but how can I complete this institute so that the water cubes disappear, etc.?
Hello. The cubes won't disappear, there are no further quests yet.
After the quest, you can find Edwin in the fortress of Meropides and find out that he is still plotting something, the bastard. No achievements or rewards will be given, but you can swing a sword at him x)
Sorry for asking after such a long time, but where? I found Necker in the istrative district, but Edwin is nowhere to be found, I climbed all over the fortress. Or were you talking about Necker?
How I hate puzzles, why do they put them in every quest?
For some reason my crystal is gray....the mechanism is at the very beginning....please help me, what’s wrong🙏😭
If the crystal is gray, then you skipped the previous step of the quest. check tracking and go to the coast
The quest is at the stage of opening the door, the lock is like in the guide on the right, the crystal fixed yellow, but the door never opened, unfortunately...
Try re-entering the game through the paymon menu and doing the riddle again. if it doesn't work, technical
Before that I tried to get through, but after finishing the cube the door did not open, I thought it was a bug and left. after a while it returned and now the crystal mechanism seems to be inactive and gray in color. Tell me what can I try to do about this?
where's the cube? and what stage of the quest is displayed in the quest log?
Thank you very much! After a long time I entered the game and only with your help I get through everything 🥰☺
We are always happy to help, come in, we have a lot of guides :)
Thank you!! Thank you so much for being here and for all your work!
Thank you for your kind words, we are glad to try)
Tough! How can you open this door?! While I'm switching from the ability to hit the crystal, my cube is already flying up. And I would be glad to do everything quickly, not after you use one ability and want to then click on another, there is about a second when the skills are inactive, gray. And in that second the cube rolls to the top of the door. I play from a tablet. And every time I just spit at how the developers implemented the mechanics of the underwater world. Who plays from a tablet and phone, are you having problems with the door?
I play on my tablet myself. Hit the crystal once to open the doors. move the cube all the way to the bottom right. as soon as it hits a barrier, hit the crystal to close everything. have you tried hitting a crystal with your ability?
What to do if after all the requirements the door does not open?
Can you tell me where your task marker is? if on the shore, go there first
After completing the quest chain, there is an untitled note on the ship; when read, it is signed as a “bandaged letter.” Doesn't give out any quests. Are there any other similar notes?
(there is a screenshot, I don’t know how to attach it)
Crystal grey. I can't complete the task. Help
There is no need to write that you need to complete the first part of the quest, take the ability of this octopus (or whatever it is) or that you need to complete the quest in order. I did everything that needed to be done. And nothing works
Then I recommend ing tech .
Did you somehow resolve this issue?
Were you on the quest first on the shore, before visiting the door?
the crystal is gray because you go straight to the door
Crystal gray I can’t open the door I can’t help
You swam to the door and the crystal did not turn on?
Same problem, it won't turn on, what should I do?
they wrote in the comments above, first you need to go ashore to the quest marker, and then dive to the door
Please help, the crystal was originally white. I don’t that I went through this, and the task fell out.
It will light up according to the task, just complete it
What to do if the crystal is gray and the door is not open
Solve the riddle according to the article when you reach the quest
