Even after taking centre stage in Genshin Impact Archon Quest Acts 1 & 2 and more recently in Acts 3 & 4, the esteemed Iudex of Fontaine, Neuvillette, remains inscrutable. For players eager to delve deeper into his character, you're in luck, as the launch of Version 4.1 has not only brought a wealth of new content, but also Neuvillette's very own Story Quest Act 1, "The Remains of the Past Day".
Fontaine’s Court spans a large area within its own dedicated area, underscoring the importance placed on concepts of "justice" and "judgment" within the region. The person who commands the Opera Epiclese of the Court of Fontaine is none other than Chief Justice Neuvillette himself.
Among the 18 new Fontaine characters that have been unveiled, Neuvillette emerges as one of the central figures. His prominent position ties with his significant involvement in the political and judicial matters of the region, playing a crucial role in Fontaine's storyline from the region’s onset. Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough to guide you through the first act of Neuvillette’s illuminating Story Quest.
How to unlock Neuvillette Story Quest Act 1 - "The Remains of the Past Day"
Before embarking on Neuvillette's Story Quest, or Diluvies Chapter: Act 1 "The Remains of the Past Day", you must meet the following requirements:
- Possess one Story Key
- Attain Adventure Rank 40 or higher
- Completed Archon Quest Chapter IV: Act 4 “Cataclysm's Quickening”
To obtain one Story Key, you must do 8 Daily Commissions and be at Adventure Rank 26. Since you can only complete 4 Commissions a day, it will take at least 2 days to acquire 1 Story Key for this quest.
It is important to note that Story Keys are not awarded automatically once the required eight daily commissions are complete. Genshin Impact players must actively go and redeem them from the “Story Quest” page in the “Quests” tab.
