Complete list of hidden Sumeru world quests in Genshin Impact

When looking through the Sumeru world quest list at the reputation NPC in Sumeru City, you’ll notice a long list of quests that you may not be familiar with.

If you’ve already completed the lengthy Aranyaka quest line, you’ll already be done with a good chunk of quests, but some quests can be hard to find.

Rather than being marked with the usual blue exclamation point on the map as you approach the quest NPCs, some quests are completely locked until you do some kind of special puzzle or interaction. Our Genshin Impact hidden Sumeru quest guide will list out all the reputation quests that you may not have been able to find.

Three quests are locked behind commissions: “Garcia’s Paean: A Gift of Compatibility,” “Gourmet Supremos: Within Our Duties,” and “Cost-Effective Hook?”. We list the requirements to unlock these quests below using the help of the Genshin Impact Wiki, as we haven’t gotten lucky enough to get these ourselves yet.

The other quests are locked behind specific interactions or puzzles. We list out these hidden world quests below. (Note that there may be other hidden world quests, but for now we’re just scouting out the ones that the reputation NPC in Sumeru City has listed.)

Update (Dec. 19): We’ve added information surrounding the three world quests that require commission to complete.

A Short Encounter with a Rare Bird

To start “A Short Encounter with a Rare Bird,” kill the Shroomboars at this location.

Where are the Fierce Creatures?

Talk to the NPC above, who will describe three large beasts at three different locations.

Go to each location (marked below) and defeat the large monsters. You’ll know it’s the special monster because they’ll get a big health bar at the top of the screen, similar to a boss fight. For the tiger, you’ll need to place a piece of fowl on the plate and fast forward to midnight for the beast to appear.

Once you defeat the last one, Paimon will say something along the lines “That’s all of them!” signaling you to head back to the NPC and claim your rewards.

All these monsters only spawn once, so it’s entirely possible that you will have killed one or two of them already. If Paimon’s voice line hasn’t been said, you will not be able to claim rewards. You can try revisiting the locations above to get her to talk. (For whatever reason, we had to revisit the Sumpter’s spawn point and then she noted that they were all dead, even though we killed the Sumpter first.)

The Price

To start this quest, open this Common Chest on top of a roof in Port Ormos.

Treasure of Wisdom: A New Plan

In order to get this quest, you have to solve the billboard puzzle in Sumeru City. First, you’ll need to interact with the billboard below.

Then, go open the following boxes and chests in order:

The first box is under the docks by the fishing hole.

The second box is near the stage where Nilou performed.

The treasure chest is inside the Sumeru Akademiya building, beyond the doors. You’ll need to interact with the large doors inside to access this room.

The fourth and final box is in the pond below the Teleport Waypoint.

After this, talk to this NPC at noon (in-game time, not real life).

After finishing that hidden achievement, the NPC will be waiting at the following location one real-life day later.

The Foolish Fatuus

To start this quest, you’ll need to complete the eight Saghira Machine challenges at the various Eremite camps. We’ve marked their locations below.

If you haven’t done any of the Saghira Machine challenges before, all you have to do is get close to the machine and then find the glowing keys inside the various buildings. Each building will have broken walls, floors, or ceilings for you to jump into to get the keys. Once you get all two or three keys, head back to the mechanism and defeat the Eremites that spawn to complete the challenge.

Once you’ve done all eight of these, head to the specific camp we marked below to start “The Foolish Fatuus.”

Memory’s Final Chapter

You have to have fully completed the long “Aranyaka” quest line in order to do this quest. This quest is also locked behind some other unmarked world quests (that do not reward reputation points). To start the first prerequisite quest, “Aranga’s Memory,” talk to the NPC marked below and follow the quest navigation.

Once you finish the first one, you’ll need to do another unmarked quest called “Aranakin’s Old Friend.” You can start it at the location below. Again, you can just follow the quest’s navigation to complete it.

The third and final prerequisite quest is called “Arangaru’s Drawing” and you can start it by entering the cave marked below and clearing out the Eremite enemies. Once you defeat them, a boss Eremite will appear. Upon taking him down, Arangaru will pop out with the quest, which has easy-to-follow navigation to complete.

After you finish these three prerequisites, you’ll automatically get “Memory’s Final Chapter” in your journal, leading you back to Mawtiyima Forest for the quest.

Static Views, Part 2

To do this quest, you’ll have to have completed the first “Static Views” quest, which is obtainable from the mailbox in Vanarana. This quest will be marked on your map with a blue exclamation point and isn’t hidden, but we’ve marked its starting location below anyway.

Once you do that, you’ll need to find all 10 hidden treasure chests in the Aranyaka notebook. You can find the notebook in your quest item inventory to check it for buried treasure hints, or you can use our guide.

When you get nine of the 10 chests, “Static Views, Part 2” will automatically appear in your journal leading you to the final area and completing the quest.

Gourmet Supremos: Within Our Duties

The quest will appear in the above location after you have obtained the Gourmet Supremos achievements from Inazuma, according to the Genshin Impact Wiki. The achievements are “Meal For Two,” “A Question of Diet,” and “Samurice.” After getting all three achievements, you need to complete the Inazuma commission “The Gourmet Supremos: Where’d the Ingredients Go?”

If you completed these before the release of patch 3.0 (Sumeru), then you will need to get the “Where’d the Ingredients Go?” commission again before the quest appears.

Cost-Effective Hook

According to the Genshin Impact Wiki, you need to complete the Sumeru daily commission “Supreme Hookshot?” three times for this quest to appear in the above location. Once you complete the commission a third time, it will appear the next day (in real time, not in game time).

Garcia’s Paean: A Gift of Compatibility

This quest remains a mystery, even as of patch 3.3. According to Game8, you do need to complete a short world quest at Wangshu Inn called “Garcia’s Paean” in order to start.

After completing this quest, the “Garcia’s Paean” quest line may start showing up as part of your daily Sumeru commissions. This includes “Garcia’s Paean: Key Items” and “Garcia’s Paean: Substitute.”

However, as of writing this, the Genshin Impact Wiki notes that this is technically unreleased content. Though you can see it in the Sumeru reputation list, it doesn’t seem like the prerequisite commission have been added to the game, so we’ll need to wait for a further update.
