While most of Genshin Impact’s quests have a marker to follow, the Foolish Fatuus quest requires more dedication since it’s difficult to follow through with it. But once players understand its formula, they’ll get the hang of it quickly. When the requirement is fulfilled, go back to one of the locations to trigger the Foolish Fatuus quest in Genshin Impact.

How To Trigger The Foolish Fatuus Quest In Genshin Impact
To trigger the Foolish Fatuus quest in Genshin Impact, players have to visit one of the eight Eremite camps after deactivating all eight Energy Extraction Devices. The Eremite camps are located around the border of version 3.0 Sumeru, and people can see it on their map as a small blue circle with sands around it.
After all eight Energy Extraction Devices are deactivated, go to the Eremite Camp southwest of Yasna Monument in Genshin Impact. There, Travelers will see a Fatui Pyro Agent named Oleg along with an Eremite called Kasim.
Despite trying to hide, the two will notice the protagonist, and players will enter a fight with Oleg. Defeat the Fatui Agent, and from here on, simply follow the quest navigation.
How To Deactivate The Energy Extraction Device
To deactivate the Energy Extraction Device in Genshin Impact, players must first come close to the mechanism. This will trigger a task where Travelers need to find some keys. Some Eremite camps require two keys, while some others need three.
These keys are always located inside a building with door(s). If the doors are all closed, then there must be other entrances, like through a hole in the wall or down a patched-up roof. The key is golden and floating, so it should be easy to spot.
After entering the rooms of the Eremite camps, players will get ambushed a lot, so be sure to have a proper team.
Once all the keys are collected, go back to the device and press the deactivate button. This will start a timer where Travelers need to stand close to the mechanism. Three waves of Eremites will come to disrupt this process, making it even more essential to have a proper team. If players fail to deactivate the Energy Extraction in the given time, the challenge will fail.
A Genshin Impact Exquisite Chest will spawn after completing each puzzle, so in total, Travelers will earn:
40 Primogems 16 Dendro Sigils 160 Adventure EXP
Meanwhile, from the Foolish Fatuus quest in Genshin Impact, players will get:
50 Primogems 4 Hero’s Wits 400 Adventure EXP 40,000 Mora 4 Mystic Enhancement Ores
Additionally, people will also get a Genshin Impact achievement called Open Sesame!, which grants an extra 5 Primogems. So in total, finishing the entire task will reward 95 Primogems.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
