Quick Links
Some quests inGenshin Impactare simple and will follow a linear structure. However, in a game with so many little details like this one, the fact that there are hidden objectives you can complete for even more rewards after some quests end might not come as a surprise.
Finishing The Wild Fairy of Erinnyes will grant you access to a scavenging-style mini-quest in which you must collect a handful of items. While this will not leave you with any major lore drop, and it doesn’t even have any quest indicators, it will still grant you some Primogems upon completion, which is pretty nice.
What Are The Foggy Forest Branches?
A Foggy Forest Branch is aSpecial Itemfound in some locations around the Erinnyes Forest. There aresix branchesyou can collect toexchange for rewards.
Although Pahsiv, a quest-specific NPC, will be the one to ask you to find the branches, they arenot tied to any quests.
you’re able to collect them at any time, though you will have tocomplete the world quest, The Wild Fairy of Erinnyes, to exchange them with her for a reward.
Once you have collected all six branches, you can take them toPahsivin thehidden cave in Loch Uraniato exchange them for the following rewards:

Foggy Forest Branch West Of Loch Urania
The first Foggy Forest Branch is easily accessiblevia the Teleport Waypoint west of Loch Urania. The Waypoint is right by the hill you will need to climb.
Get to the top of the hill andactivate the time-trial challenge mechanism.
After you complete the challenge, in which you will have to collect ten Hydro particles within a 45-second time limit,an exquisite chest will appear; the branch will be inside.
Foggy Forest Branch South Of Loch Urania
The second Foggy Forest Branch isin a small pool south of the lake. you’re able to reach this location by fast-traveling to theTeleport Waypoint between Loch Urania and the Weeping Willow of the Lake, then heading south.
You could also try toglide from the top of the mountainif you’d like. However, this will take significantly more time than using the Waypoint.
You will need to solve a puzzle in this lake for aPrecious Chest holding the Foggy Forest Branchto spawn. The puzzle has a few mechanisms, like aHydro core pedestal, Water Volume Detection Crystals,and aswitch.
Whenall four Crystalsare lit, the chest will spawn.
Foggy Forest Branch Underground
This Foggy Forest Branch is in asecret location underground that can only be accessed through a portal. The portal is hidden within a small pool of water.
To get to the starting point, you may head to theTeleport Waypoint east of the Weeping Willow of the Lake and then head northeastfrom there.
You will quickly reach a small pool surrounded by a bunch of dilapidated house ruins and many Pyro slimes throughout the area.
The pool isnot originally clean. Instead, there will be two self-healing Contaminated Bacterial Mats moving along the water’s surface.
Find the Machine with Xenochromatic Ball Octopus abilitiesthat is by the water and interact with it to gain its abilities.
This is theonly attack that will workagainst these Contaminated Bacterial Mats because their self-healing abilities are exceedingly fast.
The big tumor will strike back, so you might want toprotect yourself with a shieldto avoid being interrupted. Otherwise, it might heal while you attempt to recover and cast again.
Attack the tumors until they’ve vanished,and the water will clear out. Only then will you be able todive into the pool and use the vortex-like portalto access the underground area.
The Foggy Forest Branch is within an Exquisite Chest.
You can leave this area through the well and even grab a Hydro Oculus in the process.
Foggy Forest Branch Southeast Of The Weeping Willow Of The Lake
This Foggy Forest Branch isalso in a small pool; these are abundant in this area of Fontaine.
you may get to this location by fast traveling to theTeleport Waypoint southeast of the Weeping Willow of the Lakearea and then descending further southeast along the mountainous terrain.
Be ready tofight four treasure hoardersin this location.
The Foggy Forest Branch location is locked behind aPotential Energy Orb mechanismthat is just a little further east from the pool.
Interact with the Machine with Xenochromatic Ball Octopus abilities tolaunch the Energy Ball to the pool.
Once the ball lands in the areamarked by a ring with a bright star in the middle, you will be able to swim into the pool and enter a small, vortex-like portal that will teleport you to the site of a shipwreck somewhere closer to Lumidouce Harbor.
Swim through the ship’s windowto claim a Precious Chest with the Foggy Forest Branch inside.
Return through the vortexto gain easier access to the next location.
Foggy Forest Branch In The Shipwreck Vault
This Foggy Forest Branch islocated within a shipwreck,serving as a treasure hoarder vault. The complex part, however, is that the Precious Chest containing the branch islocked behind a gate requiring three keys.
Location
Simple Vault Key I
At the verytop of the shipwreck. It is easily confused with a nest that is also up there, but there is a spot that gives you the “Investigate” prompt when you approach it, and there you will find the key.
Simple Vault Key II
Inside a Common Chest resting on the same broken vessel. It unlocks after youdefeat all the nearby treasurehoarders. There are about five of them in that area.
Simple Vault Key III
Slightly east of the shipwreck. The key isburied in a small box in the sand. The easiest way to tell if it’s the right spot is if you can see three worn wood crates just lying around and a fake Sweet Flower in the middle of these crate formations.
Once you have gathered the keys, you maysimply open the vault and claim the Precious Chestalong with the Foggy Forest Branch.
Foggy Forest Branch North Of The Foggy Forest Path
The sixth and final Foggy Forest Branch is in yetanother little pool. you’re able to quickly gain access to it by fast traveling to theTeleport Waypoint in the Foggy Forest Path and heading northfrom there.
The branch is locked inside aPneuma-aligned box underwaterin that very pool.
To break it and free the Exquisite Chest containing the branch, you can eitheruse an Ousia-aligned character like Lynette, or grab the Ousia blockthat is inside the Huge Shell sitting on the shore.
Just dive, break the box, open the chest, and claim your branch.
Once you havecollected all six branches, you may hold onto them if you haven’t finished the Wild Fairy of Erinnyes quest, orhead back to Pahsiv’s caveand give her the branches.
