In Genshin Impact“Deception and Promises” is one of the hidden world quests of Natlan and an independent part of the mini-quest series “In the Footsteps of the Dragon's Chosen”. Exploring an underground cave under Tetikpak Peak, our company of heroes finds a strange yumkasaurus, blocking a narrow crevice with a luxurious chest – we will have to find a way to get the treasure. Find out from this guide how to find a common language with a dendrosaurian, what to feed it and how to get a reward as part of the quest “Deception and Promises”.
All missions from the “In the Footsteps of the Dragon's Chosen” chain are available only if you complete the quest “Lost Children of the Forest”. They are not connected with other quests or with each other in any way.
How to start and complete the quest “Deception and Promises”
The strange jumkazavra sits inside Tetikpak Peak, and the entrance to the area is at the southwestern foot of Mount Coatepec. You can teleport to the nearest underground teleporter, or move to the crevice in the rock, near which the starting point of the world quest “Mysterious Guest from Huitztlan” was located.
In the northern half of the location “among the rocky mountains” go to the yumkazavru sitting in front of the chest and try to talk to him – after this the main part of the mission will begin.
Find a way to talk to the yumkazavru
The creature will not make contact with strangers, which means you need to look for another way: return to the central part of the cave and point the camera (from a close distance) at any of the dendro dragons playing by the pond below, and then use the transformation skill (the “T” key on PC). In the guise of a yumkasaurus, go back and talk to the stubborn saurian.
Feed the dendro dragon
Our treasure hunters learn that the dragon is hungry. We enter into dialogue with him again, and in the selection window we give any fish or meat— the yumkasaurus will gladly accept the treat, but not only will it not move away, but it will also fall asleep on the spot. Next, you need to change your appearance again and try to talk to the dragon, but even so we will not get any result.
Allow the saurian companion to take the chest
The last resort is to allow our tame saurian to get the treasure chest on its own. Go to your companion, select the action “Forward!“, and then the dragon will get to the reward from the side and pull it out.
At the end of the mission, the team looks into the chest, but finds only a note with the tragic story of the owner of a strange hungry yumkazavra. It turned out that it was owned by a swindler who died of an illness and left the creature trained in deception to get food for itself according to the scheme that we fell for. Having learned about what happened, Wayna, the leader of the Descendants of Kron, promises to take care of the animal, and we receive as a reward 20 Primogems, 150 Adventure Experience Points, and 25 thousand Mora.
