Mysterious artifacts have resurfaced in Teyvat, and your task is to trace their origins through the “Returning Curios” quest. Hidden clues, clever puzzles, and unexpected encounters await those who follow the trail to its conclusion.
Read on to find out where to find all of the mementos to complete the “Returning Curios” world quest.
‘Returning Curios’ world quest location
The Returning Curios world quest takes place in the Sulfurous Sea area of the Fontaine region. Players reach it by heading northwest from the Court of Fontaine’s teleporter, past the giant cogwheel and through the underwater cave system near the Colosseum of Forgers. Look for a small camp with a broken cart and scattered crates on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea-this marks the starting point where an NPC named Estelle waits to trigger the dialogue.
To unlock the “Returning Curios” world quest, you must first complete all three Secret Summer Paradise quests. You’ll then automatically unlock the “Returning Curios” world quest. If you’ve completed the third part of the Secret Summer Paradise quests and haven’t received the quest, teleport to a waypoint or enter a loading screen to get it.
