The Ultimate Guide to Conquering the Birth of the Modern Clock Achievement in Genshin Impact's Strange Stone Chronicle Quest

Completing the Strange Stone Chronicle quest in Genshin Impact is highly advantageous, offering rewards such as Primogems and Strange Parts. Moreover, it grants access to Serene's birthday party, ultimately leading to the attainment of the It's Fish, I Added Fish achievement. While the mission itself may appear simple, it is imperative to note that there is a subsequent quest linked to it, providing players with the opportunity to earn the Birth of the Modern Clock achievement. To summarize, the entirety of this task is outlined below.

Birth Of The Modern Clock Achievement In Genshin Impact

In Genshin Impact, players can obtain the Birth of the Modern Clock Achievement by completing the Strange Stone Chronicle Quest. To initiate this quest, players must engage in a conversation with Puca, located in the northern section of "A Very Bright Place."

Talk to Puca

Collect her Token and a Strange Ore

Take the gemstone to the Gem merchant

Collect more Strange Ores for Chesil

Advance the time for the following day

Get a mechanical clock from the Fontaine Gem merchant

Please give Puca the Chesil clock prototype and propose a business partnership to her. In order to gain access to the quest "A Very Bright Place," players may need to finish the Ancient Colors: Act I, II, and III quests.

In the midst of the expedition, Puca will request that players embark on a mission to recover her valuable Token and deliver it back to her. Upon reaching the designated destination revealed by Puca, players will encounter formidable adversaries in the form of a Massive Overgrown and a Majestic Shatterstone Breacher Primus. Upon successfully vanquishing these formidable opponents in the expansive world of Genshin Impact, players will have the opportunity to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the Token, where they will ultimately stumble upon a peculiar Ore situated in close proximity.

Returning the Token to Puca will unfortunately result in disappointment for travelers, as they will soon discover that the Special Ore they collected in Genshin Impact is nothing more than an ordinary rock. However, Paimon suggests a visit to the Gem merchant in the Court of Fontaine, as they may appreciate the unique texture of the gemstone and deem it a rare find.

What's more, the Gem merchant in Fontaine will generously offer players an advanced payment in exchange for additional Strange Ores, which will be used to craft valuable accessories. After completing this transaction, return to Puca's home and recount the tale to her, as she will then be able to provide more locations where these mysterious Ores can be found.

Follow Puca’s instructions to reach the Ore location where you will need to destroy three Prisms in return for 30 Strange Ores. Once obtained, bring them back to Chesil and advance the clock's time to the next day.

Return to Chesil to obtain a mechanical clock, as the gemstones were not suitable for crafting accessories. Afterwards, inform the merchant about Melusine so that she can establish her own gemstone factory and production line with Chesil. Relay the joyous news to Puca and present Chesil's prototype clock to receive the Birth Of The Modern Clock Achievement in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
