How to pick up and complete the Unfinished Comedy quest in Genshin Impact

Why is it called an Unfinished Comedy if you can finish it?

The Unfinished Comedy World quest was introduced in Version 4.1 for Genshin Impact, located in the Liffey Region. There are multiple side quests that comprise the main mission, so it can be a little disorienting, but we’ve compiled a handy guide to make your journey through the Fortress of Meropide a little easier.

As soon as the quest starts, you will be asked if you want to suspend it to complete other quests first. This is because the Unfinished Comedy quest chain overlaps with 4.1 Archon Quests, so it’s entirely up to you which of them you want to finish first.

Friendly reminder: There are also many rewards and codes active right now for Genshin Impact’s 3rd anniversary.

You can unlock and activate the Unfinished Comedy World quest by swimming around the vicinity of the Fortress Of Meropide. Around the outskirts of the Fortress, there will be an area bathed in a spotlight that will detect you if you swim through it. Swim close enough to be detected and stay there, then you will be brought to the receptionist, which will automatically unlock the Unfinished Comedy quest.

The Unfinished Comedy Main quest is divided into two sub-quests, Game Of The Rich and Eye For An Eye. Once you’re locked inside the Fortress, you’ll need to wander around and meet the other inhabitants. You’ll speak to Darcy, the guards Estienne and Noailles, and the little girl Lanoire, the latter of whom will set you on your quest. It’s a good tip to follow Lanoire around to get your bearings in the Fortress.
