Free Verse is one of the world quests in Genshin Impact version 4.2. Completing this quest will reward you with a secret achievement and uncover the story of a girl named Penny, her friends, and help the little one grow up.

The quest is short but quite interesting. Read the detailed walkthrough below.

How to Start the Free Verse Quest

The quest will be available by default upon entering the Fontaine region.

To find the quest marker, head to the location between Opera Epiclese and the Foggy Forest Path. You can teleport from the nearest waypoint if activated.

The girl with her fluffy friends will be standing on a small pier by the water. Nearby, you can also activate the Waverider Boat summoning point.

How to Complete the Free Verse Quest

Head to the indicated location, where you'll find a little girl and two animals: a red-hatted cat resembling Puss in Boots and a dog with a cap.

Try to Understand What Don Quixote and Nana Are Saying

Approach and listen to what the girl is saying. It sounds like she understands what the animals are saying and considers them her friends. The cat is named Don Quijano, the dog is Nana, and the girl is Penny. However, the Traveler can't understand a word of what the animals are trying to say. Penny will suggest that you need to listen not with your ears but with your head.

Try talking to the animals, and they will reveal that they are Penny's true friends who want her to grow up and start her own life. However, she needs friends who will help her on this difficult journey and protect her. Nana and Don Quijano will initiate a ceremony to induct the Traveler and Paimon as Penny's friends.

Talk to Penny

Approach Penny to conduct the ceremony and learn about the "Children," who are also Penny's friends and live underwater.

Dive Underwater and Find the "Children"

The girl will suggest you dive underwater and meet the "Children." Dive straight from the pier and follow the markers.

The first group of "Children," like the others, will be hidden under a shell. Break it to reveal them. Swim to the second shell and hit it again to find the next group. The last shell will be open, but there won't be any "Children" inside—only a Fatui insignia, hinting that something happened to them.

Return to Penny

Go back up and tell Penny that you couldn't find the last group of "Children." The girl will be deeply concerned, but she has a good friend among the Fatui who has never seemed like a bad person or a criminal to her. The Traveler will hesitate a bit because they don't know how to tell Penny that the Fatui is a full-fledged criminal organization doing terrible things.

What happened will bring Penny to tears, and she will vehemently refuse to grow up.

Discuss the Situation with Don Quijano

Not knowing what to do, you decide to seek advice from Don Quijano. He believes that Penny still needs to grow up, but right now, the girl needs some fun and help from reliable friends. Your task is to find and rescue the missing "Children."

Follow the "Children"

Dive underwater at the same location and follow the markers to find and rescue all the "Children." A group of red fish will appear in front of you—swim after them until they stop. The "Children" will be stuck in a pile of rocks that you need to destroy with a nearby cannon.

Approach the rock, wait for the cannon to target you, and take the hit. The rock will be destroyed, and the "Children" will swim on. Follow them. 

Save "Bighead"

Next, you'll need to save the "Children" again. "Bighead" will get tangled in seaweed, which you can break using the Xenochromatic Hunter's Ray ability. Interact with it and use the skill to destroy all weak points in one hit. After that, Bighead will be freed.

Catch "Lil' Rascal"

"Lil' Rascal" is a group of blue fish that will swim away from you. Catch and capture them 3 times to complete this stage.

Save "Scaredy-Cat"

Continue forward to the shipwreck. "Scaredy-Cat" will be locked behind bars, requiring a key to open. You can find it on the shore, marked with a yellow marker—pick it up and return underwater. Free Scaredy-Cat and catch the "Children."

Return to Penny

Your task is complete. Go back and climb onto the pier to Penny. Tell her that you managed to bring back all her friends. The girl will be much happier than before and grateful to the Traveler for help. Now, she wants to swim together with the "Children."

Enter the Waves

Dive underwater and swim along the specified path through the underwater rings. At the end of the path, use the jellyfish-shaped medusa to emerge on the shore.

Talk to Penny

After your adventure, the girl will decide that she's not afraid to grow up after all and wants to become an Adventurer in the future. The Traveler and Paimon will support her decision and promise to send a recommendation to the Adventurers' Guild. The girl will kiss all her friends, including the Traveler, and finally embrace her inevitable adulthood.

Upon completing the quest, you will receive a secret achievement from the "Wonders of the World" section: "I Do Believe in Fairies" and 5 additional primogems.

Rewards for completing the quest:

• 40 Primogems;
• 300 Adventure EXP;
• 30,000 Mora;
• 2 Hero's Wit;
• 3 Mystic Enhancement Ore.
