Completing the Hidden Happy Birthday Quest in Genshin Impact

The "Happy Birthday" world quest is one of Genshin Impact's most obscure hidden missions. Locating and completing it rewards players with the "The Story is Over, But..." achievement and 5 Primogems. However, starting this quest requires finishing multiple prior questlines. This comprehensive guide covers how to unlock and complete the Happy Birthday World quest in Genshin Impact.

Prerequisite Quests for Hidden Happy Birthday Quest in Genshin Impact

Before the Happy Birthday quest becomes available, the following prerequisite quests must be finished:

• In the Wake of Narcissus (complete all 3 acts)
• Through the Looking Glass
• Pursuit (1 and 2)

The In the Wake of Narcissus questline involves helping a boy named Wolff navigate his deceased sister's labyrinth of challenges. Completing it rewards the Sword of Narzissenkreuz.

Through the Looking Glass tasks players with locating and solving puzzle paintings. Search in the Algae Sea must be finished first. Completion rewards Luxurious Chests.

Finally, Pursuit takes place in the Book of Revealing World after finishing Through the Looking Glass. It involves rescuing Canotila and grants Primogems, Mora, and Hero's Wit as rewards.

How to Complete the Happy Birthday Quest in Genshin Impact

With the prerequisites met, go to the Court of Fontaine region and teleport to the northwest Waypoint near Earnshaw's house. Wait 1-2 in-game days then return during daytime. A quest marker will appear above Earnshaw.

Speak to him to begin the Happy Birthday quest. A scene will play where Earnshaw claims Lanoire was abducted by a Hilichurl and asks for help finding her.

Completing the Happy Birthday Quest in Genshin Impact

After the opening scene, follow the navigation marker north from Earnshaw's house. Lanoire can be found standing with the Caterpillar Hilichurl on a hill past the river.

Approach and speak to them to trigger a scene where Earnshaw and a guard arrive, causing Caterpillar to hastily leave. The quest concludes after this scene.

Happy Birthday Quest in Genshin Impact Quest Rewards

Completing the Happy Birthday quest rewards:

• The Story is Over, But... Achievement (5 Primogems)
• 20 Fontaine Reputation EXP

While the rewards are minimal, unlocking this obscure world quest requires significant time and effort. The story provides closure for characters like Lanoire and Caterpillar from previous Fontaine quests.

Summary

The Happy Birthday World quest in Genshin Impact is easily missed but provides a nice epilogue to other Fontaine missions. Players must first complete In the Wake of Narcissus, Through the Looking Glass, and Pursuit.

After finishing those prerequisites, wait at Earnshaw's house for a quest marker to appear. Speak to him and follow the navigation to find Lanoire. The quest rewards a hidden achievement and minor Reputation EXP.
