The complex and intriguing multi-part questline "In Truth‘s Steps" was introduced in Genshin Impact Version 3.6, immersing players in a mystery spanning several locations across Sumeru. During this investigative quest, you‘ll assist a student named Bahera in uncovering what happened to his mentor‘s missing letter. The key to progressing lies in deducing the right answers during In Truth‘s Steps Part 2.
As an avid Genshin Impact enthusiast and guide writer with over 2 years of in-game experience, I‘ll equip you with the solutions and insights needed to solve this challenging puzzle. Follow along for an in-depth walkthrough of In Truth‘s Steps Part 2.
Setting the Stage: Recapping the Story So Far
But first, let‘s reestablish the context around this questline.
In Truth‘s Steps begins when the scholarly Bahera approaches you, distraught that his mentor cannot obtain an expected letter containing invaluable information. Your role becomes determining why the important letter went missing and where it disappeared to.
Investigating the matter leads you to gather clues from books, NPC discussions, and highlighted environments across Sumeru City, Darshan, and Vanarana. I‘d estimate this initial leg of the quest spans 2-3 hours based on my playthrough.
By In Truth‘s Steps Part 2, your investigation has uncovered that:
- A Darshan staff member was tasked with retrieving the letter
- The letter contained keys to the mentor‘s office
- The mentor‘s office was the last known location of the letter
Armed with this background knowledge, you‘ll need to answer a series of questions correctly to unlock the next phase of the mystery.
In Truth‘s Steps Part 2 Question and Answer Guide
During In Truth‘s Steps Part 2, Bahera will pose the following 4 questions to test your detective skills:
Q1: Why was his mentor angry?
A: Because he could not obtain the letter.
Bahera explained early in the quest that his mentor was furious about not receiving an expected letter. This vital context clues you in that the mentor‘s anger stemmed directly from being unable to obtain the missing letter.
Q2: Who was it who last came in contact with the letter?
A: The Darshan staff member who was in charge of passing on the letter.
Dialogue with the Librarian at Darshan revealed a staff member was assigned to retrieve the letter from the mentor‘s office and deliver it to him. This staff member became the last known person to have handled the letter based on the clues.
Q3: Where was the letter?
A: The mentor‘s office.
Investigating the mentor‘s office showed it was the original location of the letter before going missing. An NPC also confirms the staff member was supposed to pick up the letter specifically from the mentor‘s office, making it the last verified site of the letter.
Q4: What was within the letter?
A: The keys to the office.
A secret note found behind a bookshelf shelf reveals that the letter contained the keys to the mentor‘s Darshan office.
Answering each question correctly based on the clues you gathered will fully resolve In Truth‘s Steps Part 2 so you can progress.
