Dialogue[]
Quest Description
Lan has been looking for a certain sword. Her search has not been fruitful, so she's decided to widen her search range.
Stonewall Mitachurls Version[]
- (Talk to Lan)
- Lan: I hope it turns up this time... there are so few leads left...
- What's wrong?
- Lan: What brings you here? If you'd like to learn more about the Guild, please talk to Katheryne over there.
- Lan: ...Oh, you're an Adventurer already? Please accept my apologies; I may be the Branch Master, but I am not well acquainted with the Guild's day-to-day business.
- Lan: So I don't really know any of the newcomers... Having said that, you're no newcomer at all, are you? You look like a seasoned Adventurer to me.
- Lan: In which case, maybe there's something you can help me with. I must emphasize though, this is not a guild quest but a personal commission.
- I'll take it!
- Lan: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it is highly unwise to accept a Commission without examining the details first.
- Give me more details, and I'll consider it.
- Lan: A cautious response. I'm sure you learned the value of caution the hard way.
- Lan: Your Commission, should you choose to accept it, is to defeat two strong hilichurls who bear giant shields.
- Lan: Their shields are infused with Geo energy. Not terribly dangerous, but you should still proceed carefully.
- Lan: All I need you to do is defeat them. Come and find me afterwards and you will be fairly compensated.
- Lan: Oh, and if you come across anything sword-related, bring it back for me.
- Lan: If not, it doesn't matter. As long as you defeat the hilichurls you will receive your compensation. That's all. I will leave you to get ready now.
- (Talk to Lan again, optional)
- Lan: Have you defeated them yet?
- Not yet.
- Lan: That's fine; please don't rush. An Adventurer who acts in haste is sure to put themselves in harm's way.
- Lan: That said... Think less haste, more speed. Because your compensation is based on how quickly you complete the assignment.
- (Talk to Lan after defeating the enemies)
- Lan: Have you defeated them yet?
- Yes.
- Lan: Efficient work! I'm impressed. Done like a true Adventurer.
- Lan: Here is your compensation. Thanks to you, things will be much safer around here.
- Lan: I don't suppose you found anything to do with a sword?
- Lan: ...I see. As I expected. Never mind.
- Lan: Thank you — here is your compensation. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Hilichurl Archers Version[]
- (Talk to Lan)
- Lan: *sigh* Still nothing...
- What's wrong?
- Lan: Oh, it's you two again. Clearly there aren't enough guild quests to keep you occupied.
- Lan: If you are interested, I have another Commission you could take?
- Lan: A group of Hilichurl Shooters has congregated in the middle of Guili Plains and are threatening passers-by.
- Lan: They may only be hilichurls, but there are a lot of them and they have the higher ground. The average Adventurer would be helpless against them.
- Lan: I need you to dispose of them, quickly and efficiently. Afterwards, there will be ample compensation waiting for you.
- Lan: Also — if you come across anything to do with a sword, anything at all, please bring it back to me.
- I'll take it.
- Lan: I can't tell whether your eagerness to take this on is born out of youthful naivety or boundless courage...
- Lan: But if I'm sure about one thing, it's that you truly have an Adventurer's spirit.
- What does the sword mean to those hilichurls?
- Lan: Nothing, the two are unrelated. All I need you to do is keep an eye out for it — if you find something, bring it back. If not, it's no problem.
- Lan: The objective of this Commission is to defeat the hilichurls. Defeat them, and you will get your reward.
- Lan: That's all I have to say. It's time for you to get ready.
- (Talk to Lan again, optional)
- Lan: Have you defeated the Hilichurl Shooters yet?
- Not yet.
- Lan: Is that because you're preparing meticulously, or because you're dragging your heels?
- Lan: ...Or is it a little from column A, a little from column B?
- (Talk to Lan after defeating the enemies)
- Lan: Have you defeated the Hilichurl Shooters yet?
- Yes.
- Lan: Good job. I hope they didn't give you too much trouble? No, I didn't think they would... just asking to be polite.
- Lan: Still nothing on the sword? *sigh* Surprise, surprise... a futile search once again...
- Lan: Thank you, anyway. Here is your compensation.
- Why are you preoccupied with this sword?
- Lan: ...I suppose there's no harm in telling you. Its name is Unseen Razor. My older brother was its proud owner.
- Lan: But inexplicably, it was not found on his person when he passed away.
- Lan: He always had that sword with him. Always. So for something to happen that separated him from it... It's bothered me ever since.
- Lan: Unfortunately, I've never found a single solid lead on where the sword might be, or what he encountered before he died.
- Lan: That's it, really. There's nothing more to say. Except have a nice day.
Ruin Hunter Version[]
- (Talk to Lan)
- Lan: Useless... Utterly useless.
- What's wrong?
- Lan: ...You really don't have anything to do, do you? Either you're too good at what you do, or hopelessly inadequate...
- Lan: I doubt it's the latter though — you've been doing a fine job with my Commissions so far.
- Lan: If you're at a loose end, there is something else you could do for me.
- Lan: But this time things are more dangerous. I need you to defeat a Ruin Hunter. Think you can handle it?
- Consider it done.
- Lan: My, you are self-assured. My brother was the same way... Perhaps you will one day achieve the heights of greatness that he did.
- Should I keep an eye out for a sword?
- Lan: Yes please. When you've defeated the Ruin Hunter, please check around for a sword or any sword-related items.
- Lan: I must warn you that Ruin Hunters are tough opponents. You must keep your attention fixed on them at all times if you wish to defeat them.
- Lan: As for the sword — it would be wonderful if you found something, but not to worry if you don't. You will be paid as long as you defeat the Ruin Hunter.
- Lan: That's all. The location is in Guili Plains. Get yourself ready, then go and take down that Ruin Hunter.
- Lan: Once you've taken him down, remember to look around for sword-related items; anything you find, bring it back.
- Lan: ...But if there's nothing, just bring yourself.
- Lan: Good luck with the Commission, and... I hope this time the search will prove more fruitful.
- (Talk to Lan again, optional)
- Lan: Has the Ruin Hunter been dealt with?
- Not yet.
- Lan: Well, take your time. One must be fully prepared before taking on a Ruin Hunter.
- (Talk to Lan after defeating the enemies)
- Lan: Has the Ruin Hunter been dealt with?
- Yes.
- Lan: Ruin Hunters are all in a day's work for you, eh... If I ever had any doubt in your capabilities, it is now gone.
- Lan: ...Still nothing on the sword? *sigh* I'm beginning to loathe the sound of my voice asking that question.
- Lan: Not to worry. I've thrown a mixed bag of Commissions at you, and each time you complete them dutifully. So thank you for that.
- Lan: Unseen Razor, where are you hiding...
- You'll find it eventually.
- Lan: ...Are you trying to make me feel better? Thanks, but this is barely a minor setback.
- Lan: No matter how long it takes, and where this search takes me... I will find that sword.
- Lan: I plan to keep widening the search area, so I may well call for your help again in the future — and yes, I will continue to pay for your services.
- These Commissions don't seem sword-related at all.
- Lan: That is because I already took on every single Commission that had anything at all to do with a sword. Sadly, they led me nowhere.
- Lan: So then I thought... Surely, whatever happened to separate my brother from his sword, it can only have been under highly dangerous circumstances.
- Lan: So I started accepting other Commissions — ones I thought just might be dangerous enough to give me a lead on the whereabouts of Unseen Razor.
- Lan: However, there are slightly too many dangerous Commissions for me to handle on my own. That is why I started asking you to help.
- Lan: Here is your payment. I should go, there is a new list of Commissions waiting for me to vet.
- Lan: Unseen Razor... You won't stay unseen forever...
Follow-Up Version[]
- (Talk to Lan)
- Lan: I have an idea that may or may not pay dividends...
- Are you still looking for that sword of yours?
- Lan: Oh, it's you, Traveler. Indeed, I am still seeking the Unseen Razor.
- Lan: But, even now, I have yet to find any worthwhile leads.
- Lan: Searching for a sword in Liyue is like trying to find a straw from a haystack.
- Lan: Someone said to me that the sword may have been destroyed long ago by a monster. But even if it were so, I would find and claim each and every last shard.
- Lan: Apologies. I've been rambling. The location I need you to check this time has been marked on your map. I thank you for your aid, Traveler.
- Lan: I just hope the sword isn't really broken...
- (Talk to Lan again, optional)
- Lan: I just hope the sword isn't really broken...
- (Approach the area)
- Paimon: There sure are a lot of weapon-like implements scattered around here.
- Paimon: Let's deal with these monsters first before taking a closer look around.
- Paimon: Paimon sure hopes we can find something related to "swords"...
- (After defeating the enemies)
- Paimon: That should do it. Let's have a quick look around. Hopefully, we'll be able to find something that points to the sword...
- ( Investigate first spear-like object)
- Paimon: Huh. This...doesn't seem to have anything to do with the sword...
- ( Investigate second spear-like object)
- Paimon: This doesn't look like it has anything to do with swords...
- Paimon: Huh? Is this a... hilt? It's pretty intact, too...
- Paimon: Let's bring it back to Lan and let her have a look.
- (Obtain Hilt-Like Object ×1)
- (Talk to Lan)
- Lan: How did it go, Traveler? Have you found something?
- I found this sword hilt...
- (Submit Hilt-Like Object ×1)
- Lan: This sword hilt... looks still intact.
- Does it have anything to do with the Unseen Razor?
- Lan: I must examine it in detail to know... Ah. I forgot to mention that I've already been scouring the lands for these weapon fragments for quite some time.
- Lan: I gathered countless pieces from the marketplace, the wilds, and even bought some off adventurers. I thought that they could perhaps lead me to the Unseen Razor...
- Lan: Yet, till now, I haven't found even a hint of its shadow...
- Lan: Ah, no matter. We have a saying in Liyue: "Where there's a will, there's a way." I'll keep searching... Till I find the Unseen Razor, that is.
- Lan: Here, Traveler. Take these as a reward for your efforts.
The Chasm Version[]
Quest Description
Lan seems to have changed her mind about seeking the Unseen Razor.
- (Talk to Lan)
- Lan: Hmph, looks like it should be here.
- (If The Chasm version has not been completed before)
-
- Lan?
- What are you doing here?
- Lan: Traveler. I didn't expect to see you here.
- Lan: Do you remember the sword hilt you found last time? Well, it turns out that it was indeed part of the Unseen Razor.
- Lan: The funny thing is, the only reason I could recognize it is because I secretly etched a marking onto it as a child...
- Lan: I remember I told my brother that if he ever decided to wield another sword, he had to give the Unseen Razor to me.
- Lan: Heh. I suppose neither one of us could have foreseen how things turned out... I can't believe this is how I ended up finding the Unseen Razor. Looks like the sword... really did get shattered.
- Lan: Alright. I suppose I'll cut to the chase now that you're here, Traveler. I'm going to need your help again.
- Lan: Two gatherings of monsters should be loitering somewhere ahead. They seem to have amassed a sizable inventory of damaged weapons to hoard within their camps, though I'm uncertain as to why.
- Lan: The Adventurers' Guild is worried that these monsters will wreak havoc on the surroundings and originally wanted to draft a commission to resolve this. However, after I reviewed the details, I thought that perhaps... I could find some pieces of the Unseen Razor here.
- Lan: Traveler, let's each clear out a camp.
- (If The Chasm version has been completed before)
-
- Lan?
- Are you still looking for sword fragments?
- Lan: Traveler? Fancy running into you here again.
- Lan: Yeah, I managed to get a few new fragments through some more... appropriate commissions.
- Lan: The situation is the same as it was previously. I'd like to invite you to head out with me and defeat some monsters.
- Lan: The camp to the left is being held by a group of hilichurls. Alone, each of them should present no danger to you...
- Lan: But their numbers are substantial. Should you face them directly and all at once, it might require some effort to prevail, even for you.
- Lan: On the right is a Stonehide Lawachurl. As for how dangerous facing one is... I don't think I really need to elaborate.
- Lan: Since I'm the one who asked for your aid, I'll let you select which camp to clear.

- Lan: Since I'm the one who asked for your aid, I'll let you select which camp to clear.
- I'll take the left side.
- I'll take care of the camp on the right.
- Lan: Understood. I'll go for the other one. Let's make this quick.
- (Talk to Lan again, optional)
- Lan: How goes it? You've cleared the monsters on your end?
- You've already... defeated all the monsters in the area?
- Lan: Hmm? Of course.
- Lan: I mean, I am the president of the Liyue Adventurers' Guild. Dealing with monsters is pretty typical for me.
- (After defeating the enemies)
-
- (If the player chose the right side)
- Paimon: Well, that's all the monsters dealt with... Huh? What's this?
- Paimon: It looks like a piece of... some kind of weapon?
- Paimon: Let's bring it back and let Lan have a look at it.
- (Obtain Random Weapon Shards ×1)
- (Talk to Lan)
- Lan: Traveler, have you already wiped out the monsters in that camp?
- (If the player chose the left side)
-
- All done.
- How's it going on your end?
- Lan: Just some ordinary monsters. It didn't take too much out of me. I also got lucky and found a valuable piece from a longsword.
- I haven't found anything on my side...
- Lan: Don't worry about it. You helped me rule out a misidentified location, so thanks.
- Lan: Here, you've earned this.
- (If the player chose the right side)
-
- All done.
- How's it going on your end?
- Lan: Just some ordinary monsters. It didn't take too much out of me. Shame that I didn't find anything of value. It's just scrap here.
- Lan: How'd it go on your end? Did you find anything?
- I found this.
- Lan: Huh... That looks like a piece of a sword... Thanks. I'll bring it back with me and examine it more closely.
- Lan: Thanks, Traveler. Here's your payment. Please accept it.
- If we find all the shards...
- What will you do with them?
- Lan: My desire is a simple one... I just want to reforge the Unseen Razor.
- Lan: Though the blueprints detailing how the Unseen Razor was made and what materials were used have been lost... I'll find a way.
- Lan: If I can reforge the Unseen Razor, then my brother will also... *sigh*
Trivia[]
- The line "[y]our Commission, should you choose to accept it..." from the Stonewall Mitachurls Version of this commission is a reference to Mission Impossible. Protagonists would receive instructions which would often include the line "your mission should you choose to accept it..." from a recorded message for a mission.
