Chiori takes centre stage in the Genshin Impact Version 4.5 update, with her debut banner, and the first chapter of her Story Quest now live! Players were captivated by her no-nonsense personality and intriguing background during her initial appearance in Version 4.3's Fontinalia Film Festival. Now, prepare to be swept away to the heart of Fontaine's glamorous Fashion Week.
As a renowned Inazuman designer with her own "Chioriya Boutique" in Fontaine, Chiori carves her own path in Cisoria Chapter: Act 1 - When They Talk About Tonight. Here's a step-by-step walkthrough to guide you through the first act of Chiori's illuminating Story Quest.
How to unlock Chiori’s Story Quest Act 1
Before embarking on Chiori’s Story Quest - Cisoria Chapter: Act I "When They Talk About Tonight", you must meet the following requirements:
- Possess one Story Key
- Reached Adventure Rank 40+
- Completed Archon Quest Chapter IV Act 5: “Masquerade of the Guilty”
To obtain one Story Key, you must do 8 Daily Commissions and be at Adventure Rank 40+. 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.
