Starting the Hangout
Once unlocked, the first step in the Barbara Hangout Event is to talk to Sister Victoria in front of the Mondstadt Cathedral. She will then send the player to Wolvendom to find Barbara in the woods.
Follow the navigation marker to find Barbara near the three Pyro pylons near the Boreas boss battle. Once players start the conversation with Barbara, certain choices will cause the hangout path to branch out.
Once at least one Memory is complete, players can start the event at any point they have already reached, saving them time from having to start from the beginning each time.
