In Genshin Impact, “The Ordinary Life of a Saurian Lover” is a hidden world quest in Natlan and is part of the “Following the Dragon's Chosen” quest chain. At the foot of a waterfall, beneath the northern half of the Crown Scions settlement, the heroes encounter a man surrounded by three Saurians. By rescuing this dragon lover from trouble, the Traveler and Paimon will help our young saurian companion gain another valuable experience.
In this guide, we will tell you how to start and complete the quest “The Ordinary Life of a Saurian Lover”, distract the disgruntled creatures with a dish of perch in sour sauce and get the recipe itself.
All missions from the “In the Footsteps of the Dragon's Chosen” chain will not be available if you do not complete the quest “Lost Children of the Forest”. But they are not connected with other quests (or even with each other).
How to start and complete the quest “The Ordinary Life of a Saurian Lover”
To start the mission, head to the Crown Descendants tribe and jump down to the foot of the waterfall on the northern edge of the settlement: on one side you can see a crowd of dragons examining a lying man – get closer to understand the situation and try to help.
Despite the fear, the unknown person tries to calm the saurians, but almost immediately falls down exhausted. Our pet dragon also fails to scare away his relatives, which means we will have to look for another way out.
Together with your saurian companion, find a way to distract the saurians
On the opposite side of the river there is a small a camp where someone's diary lies: go to the book that attracted the attention of our little companion and read the contents. The notes clearly belong to the victim, and they mention the favorite dish of the irritated saurians – perch in sour sauce.
Bring and put the perch in sour sauce from the camp in the right place
Please note that the sour bass cannot be cooked by yourself, and its recipe is given as a reward only after saving. After reading the hint in the diary, go to the fire and pick up the ready-made dish. Then return to the shore with the dragons and leave the treat in the clearing nearby (the place is shown in the second screenshot above).
Wait…
In order to wait for the effect of the bait, go to the thickets on the right. One of the dragons will be attracted by the smell and will successfully move away from the victim, and we will have to calm down the second thug.
Defeat the Tepetlizavr
We won't be able to have a peaceful conversation with the Tepetlizaur named “Calendula”, so we enter the fight and reduce his HP bar to a minimum. After defeat, the beast will retreat, and we will be able to successfully bring the stranger to his senses.
The rescued man's name is Ikae, and he is an adventurer who loves to chase Saurians. A recent illness has weakened him, and the guy simply was not able to fight back the beasts. However, Ikae does not consider them attackers and seems to see little problem in what happened. After words of gratitude, the explorer will return to his dragon friends, and we will be given 30 Primogems, 200 Adventure EXP, 35 thousand Mora and the recipe “Perch in Sour Sauce”.
