Unmasking the Truth: The Ultimate Guide to Exposing Genshin Impact's Hidden Secrets

After an exhaustive day of investigating the Opera House for clues, players are now confronted with the daunting challenge of facing the Judge and the Hydro Archon in Genshin Impact. The Hydro Archon is relentless in their pursuit of the truth, making it essential for players to maintain their composure and think critically before drawing any conclusions.

During this crucial stage of the Archon Quest, Genshin Impact introduces the mechanic of Loopholes and Refute. Players are tasked with analyzing and connecting various clues, aiming to identify any inconsistencies or factors that could potentially aid Lyney in his trial.

First Game: Lyney’s Actions In The Tunnel

The first game starts with Lyney’s actions in the Tunnel:

Identify Loopholes: Lyney attacked Halsey

Refute: Lyney’s statement

Refute the statement saying Lyney attacked Halsey using Lyney’s own statement which states that he wasn’t even present in the hidden route when the altercation took place.

Identify Loopholes: Lyney Kidnapped Halsey

Refute: The voice in the Oratrice core chamber

Since Lyney was in the Oratrice Core Chamber, the next thing that happened to him was Lyney hearing a mysterious voice from the chamber.

Identify Loopholes: Lyney knocked Cowell out

Refute: The young lady’s clothes

Finally, instead of knocking Cowell out, the next occurrence for Lyney is him finding the aftermath of the fight.

Second Game: Opera House Switcheroo

The second game starts when the Hydro Archon asks the Traveler and Paimon to prove Lyney wasn’t in the tunnel when the crime took place.

Question: Which is the evidence that Lyney wasn’t in the tunnel when the crime took place?

Answer: Strange Sound During the Magic Show

Third Game: The True Culprit

The third game starts when Furina asks who committed the crimes.

Question: Who was the only person who could possibly have committed the crime?

Answer: The Deceased’s Identity

Fourth Game: Cowell’s Plan And The Situation Inside The Tunnel

Furina, naturally, will inquire about the Traveler's rationale for making such an accusation. As a result, players will delve into the intricacies of Cowell's scheme and the circumstances within the tunnel in the fourth game. The Traveler will be faced with four pressing inquiries.

The first question is:

Question: How can we envisage Lyney as having been unable to interfere with the Crime?

Answer: Lyney's Statement

Next, players must figure out:

Question: How can I prove that there was an altercation in the Tunnel?

Answer: Strange Sound During the Magic Show

Repeat the fact that the prime suspect is Cowell.

Question: Who is the prime suspect currently?

Answer: The Deceased's Identity

Finally, try to figure out what happened with Halsey.

Question: Where did the missing Halsey go?

Answer: The Young Lady's Clothes

The fourth question may always be wrong so don’t be surprised by the Hypothesis being incorrect.

Where did Halsey, the missing person, go?

Answer: Broken Flower Vase

Fifth Game: Reconstruct The Criminal’s Plan

Upon selecting the Broken Flower Vase, Esmond, a member of Gardes, will gracefully enter to unveil a fresh clue pertaining to the case. He unveils the intriguing revelation that numerous test tubes containing a mysterious fluid, known as the Water from the Primordial Sea, were discovered in Cowell's belongings. This evidence propels the Traveler towards a plethora of new queries and solutions. Primarily, it necessitates revisiting the list of suspects once again.

Question: Who is the prime suspect currently?

Answer: The Deceased's Identity

Then, figure out how Cowell dropped the water on the victim.

Question: What item did the culprit use to control the timing of the dissolution?

Answer: Dropped Hook Rope

Next, players must know what’s being used to dissolve Halsey.

Question: What item did the culprit use to dissolve Halsey?

Answer: Water from the Primordial Sea

Finally, reveal how Cowell was able to stay out of sight.

Question: What item did the culprit use to hide the mechanism behind the crime?

Answer: Audience-Side Magic Box Structure

Sixth Game: Events In The Tunnel

Finally, after many arguments and revelations, Traveler is ready to refute the Hydro Archon’s final reasoning in Genshin Impact. Start by:

Identify Loopholes: Halsey Dissolved

Refute: Strange Sound During the Magic Show

Instead of Halsey/Liliane being dissolved, she was fighting Cowell, which led to the loud sound during the magic show.

Identify Loopholes: Infighting between Lyney and Cowell

Refute: Broken Flower Vase

What was once thought to be Cowell’s way of covering up the victim being dissolved turns out to be a mere aftermath of a fight.

Identify Loopholes: Lyney knocked Cowell out

Refute: Young Lady’s Clothes

Lastly, instead of Lyney physically confronting Cowell, the following sequence reveals the apprehension of Halsey/Liliane about potential discovery, compelling her to swiftly alter her attire while unintentionally leaving the incriminating proof behind.
