The Firmiana Leaf Falls Genshin Impact quest: How to activate and complete

The Firmiana Leaf Falls is one of the latest Story Quests in Genshin Impact. It was introduced with the 2.6 update, and revolves around the newly introduced Ayato.

Interestingly, The Firmiana Leaf Falls is a prerequisite quest for the Hues of the Violet Garden event. This is primarily because Ayato is featured in the event's quests, and to get the best story experience, it is more reasonable to complete his story quest first.

Here's a quick guide for players to unlock and complete the Firmiana Leaf Falls story quest.

How to play Hues of Violet Garden event without completing the Firmiana Leaf Falls quest

It is worth noting that The Firmiana Leaf Falls is a prerequisite quest to begin the Hues of the Violet Garden event in Genshin Impact. However, there's a Quick Start option using which players can directly start the event.

The usage of this feature largely depends on the expectations of the players. While some travelers do not want to engage with Ayato before completing his Story Quest and prefer to progress according to the game's lore, others care more about Primogems, Crown of Insight, and other valuable rewards that will be cited throughout the event.
