Walkthrough for the "Black Feathers Fallen at the Hour of Farewell" quest in Genshin Impact
The main part of the mission is a battle with the Goddess of Death, which will take place in two stages and feature lengthy dialogue scenes. After the introductory part, a special story mode will begin, lasting until the end of the quest—it will take over 20 minutes, including skipped dialogue.
Prepare for battle
After the meeting in the sealed archive and viewing the Sage's memories, go to the Puppet's tea party at the Torch Bookstore. After finishing the conversation with the Harbingers, you'll receive achievement "Tea for Four".
There are still a few days left before the meeting between the Queen and Reindottir, so return to the Podvorye restaurant and rest. Entering the room will advance the storyline to the decisive day, as indicated by text on the black screen.
While the Archon is receiving the Mistress of Life, head to Rankova Zorya station, where you will meet the person arriving by train "Twilight Sword" DainsleifDuring a conversation with singer Vodyanitsa и scientist Mitya Ronova will suddenly appear.
Defeat Ronova, Mistress of Death
In the first phase of the boss fight "The Executor of Heavenly Order", fight with three trial heroes: Cryo Traveler, ballerina Odette и heads of the Spring SquadThis fight impossible to lose: If all allies are lost, they will instantly respawn with full health.
One of the goddess's attacks causes an explosion that covers a large area around her. Upon impact, it separates soul fragments from the character. The active ally's health bar turns red and begins to slowly drain. If this happens, look for the silhouettes at the edges of the arena and move in to reclaim the Life drained by the Death blast.
If the boss uses a grab, the active character will lose almost all health, but Dainsleif will intervene and stop Ronova. After a moment, the goddess of death will fly into the air, an eye will appear above her, and the entire arena will be covered in a red pattern. This attack will transport the Traveler to the afterlife and end the first stage of the fight.
Leave the afterlife
Once you find yourself in the realm of the dead, the camera will lock to the side, and you can only move horizontally. At the dead end on the right, pause for a few seconds – a Life Seal will appear and create an air current.
Take off using the glider, land on the ledge to the right, and continue on. On the collapsed stairs, the next sphere will transform you into a fish and transport you further.
In the dead end on the right, you'll find the Inazuma Phase Gate. Wait for it to activate and use it to reach the next area.
Further the path lies to the left: go up the steps until you see Four-leaf symbols from Sumeru. Draw to them to overcome gaps.
At the top of the stairs, a new Seal of Life will create a Hydro Portal and transport you even higher.
Continue climbing - help will come soon Koholasaurus Soul LightIf you can't use it at this point, then visit Natlan and learn how to transform into zavriana on assignment "The Lost Children of the Forest".
After landing, run to the right and stop before the cliff. Wait for the glowing sphere: it will trigger the Moon Path, which you can use to reach the final section.
At the end of the route, the camera will return to its normal 3D view and can be rotated. Run forward through the arch and wait for the Chain Mechanism to form. When the route nodes appear on the following platforms, gradually move between them.

To escape the afterlife, climb the tall staircase and pass through the arch at its top.
Defeat Ronova, who has lost her power
The second phase of the fight is easier: you still can't lose, and Piero joins the fight. He doesn't become a playable character, but his ability can be activated manually by clicking the icon with his face—it deals massive damage to the boss.
The "Paralogism Outcast" boss will create whirlwinds that rapidly deplete the active character's health when standing within them. Additionally, Ronova will periodically unleash powerful area-of-effect attacks.
To win, simply dodge and use Piero's skill when ready. Each use will drain a significant portion of the boss's health, and the skill's cooldown will gradually decrease to seven seconds.
3 927 698 units of damage with Pierrot's skill are counted in Easy Victory achievementIf you want to reset this result and set a new one yourself, please contact technical support.
After winning and completing the quest, you will receive achievements "The last enemy that will be destroyed is death." и Requiem for the Afterlife.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Piero's ability cooldown was 2-3 seconds on the last hit.
Let me explain in a little more detail what I saw:
In the last battle, I decided to just run and use only Pierrot. After my penultimate attack, when I looked at the timer, I saw there was 2 and a half seconds, closer to 3. Usually, the cooldown of abilities in this game begins after they are fully used, i.e. not when you press, but when the animation/action of the character ends. You can notice that the numbers on the icon do not appear immediately, so I assume that was the case here too. We will take into account that I decided to check the timer not immediately, but quickly enough, and we see that most likely after the end of the previous ability on the cooldown timer was 3 seconds. However, I am not sure, because when using a skill there is a cutscene (it is simply not possible to call it an animation), and it is possible that it lasted 4 seconds and the cooldown of this particular ability begins at the moment you press the button. Still, the minimum threshold is 7 seconds, but to check whether this is true or not, you need to dig a little deeper, measure the time of scenes, etc. etc., and given that my comment is not a statement with an attempt to correct the article, but only an assumption, I do not consider it urgently necessary to verify this assumption, but if there are enthusiasts, it would be nice :ь
Well, since you're interested 🙂
This is a screenshot immediately after pressing the skill, while the animation has not yet started.
And here it is almost immediately after release from animation.
It turns out to be quite a long ult))
Piero is taking a decent beating in this fight, maybe someone knows. Does the damage he deals count as record damage for the Easy Victory achievement? I got almost 4 million there without me noticing, which is unusual for my account.
Is it by any chance 3,927,698?
That's right, that's what I thought, but something's wrong here.
Yeah, I have the same problem, so everyone has the same number now. It's clearly not related to bugs or anything, so there's no need to worry :)
An important detail for those playing through "Quick Start"!
If anyone, like me, is stuck on the Koholasaurus Soul Light in the afterlife, check if you even have Natlan open. The light will be locked until the game teaches you how to transform into Saurians in Natlan itself.
I'm playing through BS. Natlan isn't open, Svetoch isn't blocked. Everything is going smoothly.
Apparently it's a bug.
Thank you for the heartfelt guide. It was a pleasure to read and learn how to complete this quest. Many thanks to the author. I look forward to new guides from you.
