Walkthrough of the Happy Birthday quest in Genshin Impact
Talk to Earnshaw, who will ask the Traveler for help and report that Lanoir has been kidnapped by the Hilichurls.
Find Lanoir
You can find Lanoir north of Earnshaw's house, next to the camp of Fatui agents. The girl will be in the company of a rogue hilichurl, who will actually be Caterpillar in his true form. Talk to Lanoir and spend some time with your friends, celebrating the baby's birthday and listening to the boy's stories about the student and the fish.
The meeting will end with Caterpillar saying goodbye to Lanoir and leaving the crowd, and Grandfather Earnshaw will arrive for the lost girl in the company of a gendarme.
Achievement "The story ends, but..." in Genshin Impact
Upon completion of the task, you will receive the achievement “The story is over, but...” with the condition “The adventure called life never stops.” It refers to source stones.
Awards
The only reward for completing the "Happy Birthday" quest will be 20 points Fontaine's reputation, which can be picked up from the editor-in-chief of “Steam Bird” Euphrasia.
We hope this guide helped you start the Happy Birthday quest in Genshin Impact and also find Lanoir. If you encountered any difficulties during the quest, you can share them in comments... Read about builds on our website.
I am so sad about this quest, I really liked Caterpillar, I was worried that something would happen to him, and then this ending... I hope we will meet him again, I really liked this long, heartfelt story with such touching characters
If the quest doesn't appear, try just talking to them at their house and then rewinding a day forward. Mine appeared like this
God, Natlan is already over, and this unfinished quest has been bothering me. I checked everything, closed the map 100%, went through the mirrors again, in the 4th I put out and lit torches, and it turned out... the second quest The Chase is not done, the irony is that I was at the book many times when I closed the map and handed in the pages, but nothing happened, I was sure that everything was cleared. I don't understand how this happened. But the gestalt is finally closed.
yes, I also returned to checking the entire chain of quests) after so much time and finally received the quest "happy birthday" and the achievement
Hello, I did all the tasks last month but the birthday quest still hasn't appeared, I checked everything according to the guide, all the quests according to the requirements are closed and mirrors have been found. But the quest still hasn't appeared, tech writes to look at the guides 🤡
You can try rewinding time to the morning or even stay in the right place where the NPC should be, exit before the new day according to server time and check again.
Hello, I have completed all the conditions, but the quest for the birthday does not open for completion, I have re-logged in, waited several days, rewound time through the Paimon menu, nothing helps, what should I do?
Hello. Check the completion of the 2nd part of the quest The Pursuit and technical
A very sad story! Immediately sunk into my heart... Caterpillar, I hope we see each other again...
I agree... I really felt sad about this quest... I hope there will be a continuation with a good ending
I did all the necessary tasks, checked and double-checked them 3 times, but the “happy birthday” task does not appear(
Have you tried rewinding time, re-entering the game through the paymon menu and waiting for the server to reset?
Thank you, the torches in the 4th mirror were not lit, after it a special dialogue appeared, then after rewinding the chase appeared, then its second part and then this quest <3
Happy to try ^^
The quest line is very creepy, thanks for the guide!
happy to try)
I am writing for those who also cannot understand why they cannot start the quest. Find the 6th last mirror in the sunken tower! I finally found it and finished the quest with the mirrors. Thanks to the guys who wrote about this last mirror:*
Just in case, we added an additional condition to the article, I hope your comment will help the players)
I really hope that they will meet again someday ((
I think the task is bugged if you do it at night during game time - at this time Earnshaw sits at the table and says that it’s time to rest
I rewound to the morning and the task appeared
I have some kind of problem, but I can’t figure out what it is
1) the unfinished comedy is absolutely completely completed
2) the chase is completely completed
3) completed in the flower meadow
4) followed in the footsteps of the narcissist
Absolutely everything is over
if the chase is not completed, then I’ve already tried to start it 300 times, even with your advice, but nothing helped
and in the end this grandfather does not appear on the path, but talks to the lanoir at the house about the font
Have you completed both parts of the Chase? If yes, then we cannot help in any way with the fact that the task is buggy. technical in this case.
You need to wait a while (I skipped ahead two days).
The chase opened up for me only when I collected ALL the pages of the book. Maybe this is the case?
Also, the old man only appears during the daytime.
Have you checked all the mirrors? I had such a thing that the plot of “Through Mirrors” was not opened because of the mirror whose torches were not lit (the light did not fly) it did not start
6 mirrors ed?
After the escape quest, I slept twice a day and re-logged into the game, the quest appeared
Thanks for the advice, rewinding time helped (I didn’t re-enter the game), the square appeared immediately :)
Thank you, noted in the article)
Maybe it will help someone: check if you have completed all the mirrors (I missed the last one at the bottom in the center of the ipsussimus tower. I was mistakenly sure that everything was ok, since there are 39 quests in the reputation, but no) I completed the mirrors, then I will chase both parts, and grandfather appeared on the path. I managed to complete it in one day, rewinding game time, good luck
I'm looking for someone to play Genshin Impact with
says to check these quests
1. Unfinished comedy
2. In the flower meadow
3. In the footsteps of Narcissus
4. Chase
5. Through the Secret Mirror
They are already listed in the “How to get started” section.
Through the secret mirror is not indicated. Clearly, it is recorded as a chase quest.
The Chase cannot be started without completing Through the Secret Mirror, so the latter is not listed as a requirement.
“Please try returning to the start screen, logging out of your and waiting for at least 10 minutes, most often this step solves problems of this kind. If unsuccessful, try checking the integrity of the game files in the menu. If possible, be sure to try again from another device, it is likely that this will help identify the cause of this misfortune! .｡･ﾟﾟ･(＞_＜)･ﾟﾟ･｡.” - service. I'm waiting..
and after completing the quest, it won’t be possible to find boats anywhere?...
It seems that there was no such information 🤔
And during the dialogue in the quest, he seemed to say goodbye to Lanoir and the Traveler for a long time, if not forever.
It’s strange, all the quests are completed, but this task is not there ;c
The only one out of 40 that was not made in Fontaine xd
I don't have a task either
Have you tried wasting game time? Or restart the game? If after several in-game (or even real) days the task still does not appear, try informing technical .
The quest appeared for me immediately after completing “The Chase”; it only required a reboot.
Yes, I tried it, I’ll write to technical tomorrow.
Try going to the book of revelations again, it turns out there is “2” part of the chase there
thank you, I accidentally came across this comment and it turned out to be true
just like that, they stand nicely and talk, but it’s not clear what to do
The same situation
Check the quest with mirrors - 99.99% it is not done and it is not tracked in Fontaine's reputation
In short, go to the tower that you drowned and look for the last mirror there, the topic is working, I fell for it myself
