The Traces of Chroma quest in Genshin Impact immerses players in a captivating narrative centered on family conflicts and intricate schemes. Additionally, it offers a playful twist of vandalism—because what’s a summer adventure without a bit of mischief?
In this guide, we will outline each stage of the Traces of Chroma quest, including crucial steps for exploring the cavern. Be mindful that this quest touches on themes of dementia and memory loss; thus, those uncomfortable with such subjects may wish to bypass certain journal entries near the conclusion.
Starting the Traces of Chroma Quest
To kick off the Traces of Chroma quest, navigate to the Easybreeze Market after arriving in Tenochtitlan Harbor. There, you’ll encounter a nameless man pondering over an unadorned wall. Transform into an Asha and get your artistic juices flowing by painting the wall to launch the quest.
Cozatl, the man you meet, is taken aback by your creative expression and requests your help in assisting a local artist who aims to secure a contract for an upcoming project.
Bringing Color to the Cafe
Your initial task involves giving a splash of color to the nearby cafe, which belongs to the artist’s adoptive sister. Your mission is to paint the walls a cheerful yellow and use any hues you prefer for the canopies and umbrellas. Don’t worry if you mess up the colors; simply overlay them without any repercussions.
Utilizing the Asha’s jump ability can significantly enhance your painting perspective, as it allows you to hover in midair while aiming your paint shot, making it easier to spot those tricky corners. You may skip the balloon decorations if you wish. Upon completion, a cutscene will unfold, and the next phase of the quest will unlock the following day in-game at 8 a.m.
Completing the Design Commission
The subsequent commission involves two distinct parts that may initially seem complex due to the starting positioning and accompanying dialogue. You’ll need to paint the music store in shades of yellow or orange (note: orange will not be available until you complete a different world quest).Following that, you are tasked to decorate three items per the customer’s requests:
- Blue surfboard
- Red ball
- Yellow ring
Investigating the Cavern
Next, travel to the designated cavern marked on your map, which will trigger a cutscene. Afterward, investigate three specific locations, talk with Cozatl, and examine the journal entries provided. This will lead you to a deduction phase where you must analyze thought bubbles arising from your observations to determine which conclusions to present.
While incorrect choices exist, they bear no consequences; you’re simply redirected to the thought screen. The valid conclusions to draw are:
- The connection between Zolton and colors
- The origins of emotions and memories
- Missing memories
- The origins of Chroma
Final Task: Color the Art Studio
The concluding task occurs two in-game days later, where you once again step into your role as an artist. This time, you’ll have the exciting addition of purple paint unlocked for the market’s art studio. Once your masterpiece is complete, speak to Zolin to wrap up the quest, earning the following rewards:
- 1 Easybreeze badge
- 4 Hero’s Wit
- 40 Primogems
- 35, 000 Seas
- 3 Mystic Enhancement Ore
