Amidst Stormy Judgment is the first part in the Teyvat storyline Archon Quest Chapter II: Act II - Stillness, the Sublimation of Shadow.
Steps[]
- Go to Komore Teahouse the following day
- Go to the Vision Hunt Ceremony
- Defeat the Raiden Shogun
- Enter the Quest Domain: Amidst Stormy Judgment
- This is a scripted fight — after losing about 15-25% of her health, she will enact the Vision Hunt Decree, preventing the use of Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst except for the Traveler's. (This does not prematurely end existing effects from Skills and Bursts. All Normal Attack talents can still be used, including Catalyst users' Normal Attacks, which still deal elemental damage.) About a minute after this, she will begin divine punishment, ending the fight and entering a cutscene.
- The icons for Elemental Skills and Bursts for every other character except the Traveler will be replaced with an icon of a thunderbolt inside of an Eye of Stormy Judgement surrounded by two purple chains that revolve around it.
- The player must survive the fight until the Raiden Shogun administers divine punishment; suffering a party wipeout ends the fight normally, and the player will be teleported to outside the Komore Teahouse and must redo Steps 2 and 3.
Gameplay Notes[]
- Completing the quest will grant the Wonders of the World achievement To Brave the Lightning's Glow.
Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionKomore Teahouse is empty, silent as the grave but for Taroumaru's uneasy barking. You have a bad feeling about this...
- (Upon starting or unlocking the quest)
- Paimon: Inazuma's not such a bad place, Paimon's having a pretty good time! But... we should probably go and see about the "next operation" that Thoma and Ayaka were talking about, right?
- Paimon: As usual, it's the first stop, Komore Teahouse. Are you ready to head over?
- (Enter the teahouse)
- Paimon: How strange... It's never this quiet here.
- Taroumaru: Woof, woof... woof!
- Paimon: Thoma's playing his ventriloquist game again, huh?
- Paimon: Thoma... Thoma...
- Taroumaru: Woof! Woof! ...Woof!
- Paimon: Hey, you can come out now... Paimon's seen you already...
- Paimon: Huh, not a peep... Ugh, so where the heck is he, then?
- Taroumaru: Woof, woof, woof! Woof!
- Paimon: Huh? What's got Taroumaru so worked up today? He's always such a good boy...
- (Ayaka comes running in)
- Kamisato Ayaka: Hello, have either of you seen Thoma?
- Paimon: No, we thought he'd be with you! Why, has something happened?
- Kamisato Ayaka: Then it as I feared... On the way here, I heard that Thoma had been taken away by the Tenryou Commission.
- Kamisato Ayaka: I wasn't certain whether it was true, so I came right here. The fact that he hasn't arrived here as we arranged suggests that it is true.
- Kamisato Ayaka: The Raiden Shogun is holding a Vision Hunt Ceremony at the Statue of the Omnipresent God today, to mark the 100th Vision seized under the decree.
- Kamisato Ayaka: And the 100th Vision bearer in question... the one who will have their Vision seized, I fear... is Thoma.
- Paimon: Hold up a second... So the ceremony that Thoma said the Tenryou Commission was busy preparing for... that was this Vision Hunt Ceremony? And he was the target all along?
- Kamisato Ayaka: ...I believe so. The shogun and the Tenryou Commission see the ceremony as a milestone. With the 100th Vision, they wish to mark the success of the Vision Hunt Decree to date.
- Kamisato Ayaka: ...This cannot happen. I must go and rescue him!
- Taroumaru: Woof, woof! Woof!
Stay calm.- But you are the Shirasagi Himegimi.
- Paimon: Yeah! Like it or not, you represent the whole Yashiro Commission. So if you go and pull a stunt like that, you're basically declaring you and the Raiden Shogun are enemies now, right?
- Paimon: And by doing it so publicly, you might be implicating a lot of other people from the Yashiro Commission, too...
- Kamisato Ayaka: There is no other option... I must act with haste — the ceremony is about to begin. I will not abandon Thoma like this.
- Kamisato Ayaka: He is my friend! To think that not long ago, we were... all eating hotpot together...
He is my friend, too. I will save him.- Kamisato Ayaka: But...
- You said it yourself. No time to delay.
- Kamisato Ayaka: ...
- Kamisato Ayaka: ...Okay, I'll... wait here for your return. Get back safely.
- Paimon: Don't worry, Ayaka. A friend's life is on the line — we ain't about to mess this up!
- (Talk to Ayaka again)
- Kamisato Ayaka: Please be careful...
- (Talk to Taroumaru again)
- Taroumaru: Woof, woof... woof!
