In Genshin Impact, Lotus and the Champion is a task in the world of Simulanka, in which you will need to practice jumping and lowering water columns with paper frogs, and also catch up with Forober. If you have difficulty obtaining and completing this quest, then study our guide.
Completing the quest “Lotus and the Champion” in Genshin Impact
How to start the quest
First of all, you will need to get to Simulanka by starting the story quest “The Story Begins in the Forest Where There Is No Rain.” After that, go to the Rainsong Pond, located in the southwestern part of the Forest of Blessings, and approach the paper frog, which has an exclamation mark above its head. Watch the cutscene to start the mission.
Talk and practice with the excited frog
Turn left and climb up the ledge to interact with the green excited frog. She will tell you about the jumping tournament taking place here and invite you to participate in it. She will also ask you to help her with her training.
Approach the frog from behind, press “T”, and then start adjusting the jump height and direction by moving back and left/right. To jump, press the attack button (LMB). You need to bring your protégé to the glowing circle ahead. Then order her to jump down on the lily pad, and from there get to the next circle. The entire route is shown in the gif below.
Talk and practice with the calm frog
Chat with the excited frog again, and then go west to the pond, where a calm yellow frog will be sitting on one lotus leaf – chat with it and watch its attempt to prevent the flower from drowning. Then interact with her and tell her that you are ready to help.
So, you will need to manage the water pillars correctly so that the plant does not collapse along the way. To do this, just press the “Lower the water pillar!” button in time. You need to do this right before the lotus swims up to them. Then talk to the frog again.
Catch Forober
After watching the video, you will need to get to the frog that left. To do this, you will have to climb a high cliff next to the waterfall. The easiest way to do this is with the help of the ledges and springboards on the right side of the waterfall. After climbing up, chat with Forober.
The frog will not want to discuss its decision with you and will run away again. Walk to the edge of the stone arch and drop down in a southeast direction to land next to the champion contender. Talk to him again, but he will run away again.
This time, Forober will jump onto the lotus located near the entrance to the cave. Approach him to start a new dialogue.
Keep the lotus from the water pillars
Suddenly the lotus cup begins to move. You will need to click on the sign “Lower the water column!” in time so that your homemade raft does not take too many hits. Press the “F” key 1-2 seconds before the collision. In general, there is nothing complicated here. Plus, you can retake the test at any time.
Next, Forober will begin to remove the pillars himself and without your participation. At the end, watch a colorful video that will lead to the completion of the task. As a reward you will receive 200 adventure points, 30 primogems and 35 thousand mora. Don't forget to also open the precious chest that appears nearby.
