With the launch of Genshin Impact's 1.4 update, the highly anticipated Windblume festival has finally entered its first phase. However, before Genshin Impact players are able to unlock and take part in the many activities available to them, they must first complete the introductory story quest "Ode to Flower and Cloud".
After starting the quest, the Traveller will notice the Windblume festival is in full swing and decides to ask around various shopkeepers whether they need any assistance. Players will first have to speak with Sara at the Good Hunter restaurant, followed by Majorie at the With Wind Comes Glory Souvenir Shop, and finally with Katheryne at the Adventurers' Guild. Unfortunately, because of the festival, none of the shopkeepers will have any work for the player which causes the Traveller and Paimon to become concerned.

The player must then speak to Flora - the flower vendor - who is located near the front of the entrance to Mondstadt. After a brief history lesson on the Windblume Festival and what it represents, players must then travel to Mondstadt Plaza and speak with Venti.
Once players arrive at the plaza, they will find out that Venti is charging citizens for advice on various "matters of the heart." After receiving a more detailed explanation of the festival, Venti will task the player to help with the various requests for advice that he receives. Players must then hear the requests of three citizens of Mondstadt and read Venti's body language in order to decide what is the correct answer to their problem.
The first person that players must speak to is Marvin, who is struggling with admitting to his father that he has been seeing a girl that his father objects to. After reading Venti's signals, players must select "I think you should tell him. Be Brave and seize the opportunity." as the correct response.
The second person that players will speak to is Albert, who players may recognize from Barbara's hangout event as the head of the Barbara fan club. Albert explains to the player that he plans to erect a two-story-tall statue of Barbara made of flowers to show his appreciation to her. Players can probably guess that the correct response to Albert's dilemma is "Are you serious? You need to put a stop to all this immediately!"
The final person that players will have to speak with is Ellin who can't decide whether she should sign her name to a gift she plans to anonymously give to Jean. The correct response to complete the quest is "I disagree, you should definitely sign your name."
After concluding the final dilemma, players must speak with Venti one final time in order to complete the quest and receive their primogem reward. Additionally, players will now unlock the various Windblume Festival activities that they can take part in.
Genshin Impact is available for Mobile, PC, and PS4, with PS5 and Switch versions in development.
