Genshin Impact "place with a lot of ships" location and Ahes' quest guide

If Genshin Impact players talk to Serene, they can get vague hints about where the other Melusine quests are. One of the messages discusses a "place with a lot of ships." That refers to a spot north of Merusea Village called "A Lonely Place." Anybody who goes to this location can easily see some small boats scattered around. If you enter this area, you might find Ahes speaking to you.

Talking to This NPC starts The Lone Phantom Sail quest. If you don't know how to reach this "A Lonely Place," teleport to Merusea Village. Right next to the Teleport Waypoint is a pink wormhole that states, "Go to 'A Lonely Place.'" Using it will get you very close to Ahes for her quest.
