Genshin Impact’s lengthy “Aranyaka” quest has an unguided portion called “Children of the Forest” in the second part, sending you off to “adventure with Aranara” around the map, but you may not know where to go to complete this part of the quest.

In order to proceed in Aranyaka: Part 2 (Dream Nursery), you’ll need to complete the following world quests:

Those last three quests will appear as subquests in your journal, and you can be guided to their locations using the in-game navigation. The others will not be marked.

To help you out, we’ve marked the starting locations of the other quests below. Note that some of these quests are long, so it might take a bit of time to clear them all. Once you do, “Children of the Forest” will automatically complete and you’ll be able to move on to the next step.
