Genshin Impact leaks provide hints about the "Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves" quest

According to leaks, an Archon Quest in the current 1.6 version of Genshin Impact will focus on a fighting tournament. This quest, which is very likely the same one being released soon, will feature Beidou and Kazuha.

Credible leaks suggest Beidou will be the one running the fighting tournament, while Kazuha is a participant. However, the reason for this contest is still unknown.

1.6 Spoilers////From what I'm hearing, There will be an archon quest in 1.6 where Beidou hosts a fighting tournament and Kazuha participates. This will contain some hints towards Inazuma. #原神 #Genshin #原神アプデ情報 #GenshinImpact #Genshin_Impact #inazuma pic.twitter.com/FPtK2TMwSb

As Genshin Report indicates, hints about Inazuma will likely surface in this quest. This may seem vague, but leaks about Inazuma may help players understand what's to come.

Although it won't likely occur in this quest, leaks claim that the Traveler will reach Inazuma with the help of Beidou and Kazuha. Since both characters are allegedly starring in the "Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves" quest, these two may soon offer assistance to the Traveler.

Inazuma will begin with Beidou (and her crew) helping you secretly enter the region. It’s through this that you’ll meet Kazuha as well.This will double as a re-introduction to boats which will be frequently used in Inazuma #原神 #原神アプデ情報 #Genshin_Impact #inazuma pic.twitter.com/xzR4TZvkn6

Beidou and Kazuha clearly have some sort of dynamic since they’re expected to be in several quests together. As per leaks, the latter is on the run, and Beidou is sheltering him on her ship with the Crux Fleet. More of their interactions will perhaps reveal how the two came to know one another.

It’s uncertain how close the Traveler gets to Inazuma before the next version of Genshin Impact. It’s nearly unthinkable that all of Inazuma would be revealed in 1.6. However, it’s possible that players at least learn how the Traveler plans to reach Inazuma in the first place.

Disclaimer: All leaked information may change by the time the quest is released. There are no confirmed details about what occurs during the Archon Quest.
