How to start the Quest A Strange Case in the Village of Konda

Go to Narukami Island and find the Temple Attendant. It is located next to the teleport.
Walkthrough Strange case in the village of Konda in Genshin Impact
Approach the nameless girl in the mask standing near the Heavenly Kitsune statue and talk to her. The priestess will ask for a favor - use the Electro element on the statue to get the amulet.
Use Electro Power on the Celestial Kitsune Statue and get a charm
Apply the abilities of the corresponding character, for example Lisa or Electro Traveler, take the item and talk to the stranger again. She will ask you to solve the mystery and remove the barrier. Head to the village of Konda, following south to the quest marker.
Ask the locals for information
On the way to the village, Paimon will stop the Traveler and offer to start by asking the locals.
Futaba
First of all, look for Futaba - a girl standing near the road at the very beginning of the settlement. She will say that she saw the bags in the ditch and advise you to talk to her father and nephew.
village chief
The village headman can be found next to the nearest house. Densuke will convince you that there is no secret in the village.
Simon Erie
Simon Eri is standing near the teleportation point. Grandmother will mention a dry well behind the headman's house.
Takeru
Takeru is on the roof of the furthest house. He will tell you about a broken cart at the entrance to the village.
Find clues
To search for evidence, you need to examine three places on the map:
- Near the well behind the elder's house. Interact with the wooden bucket and the lock.
- In a cart north of the village. Defeat the Hilichurls.
- East of the settlement. Search the pile of boards in the river.
Make a deal with the village chief and find the diary on the roof
Return to the headman and make a deal with him. The found evidence must be returned in the following order:
- purse;
- bag with goods;
- shabby list of goods.
The old man confesses and tells about the diary, which he threw on the roof.
Climb up the house and read Konda Densuke's notes.
Head over to the designated area recorded in the notebook
Following the notes, head east of the village, fight the group of enemies, and dig up the old key. After that, go back to the headman's house, open the lock and go down into the well in the village of Konda.
Explore the bottom of the well
Jumping down, you can immediately find a rich chest.
Look around and find a pile of stones on the right, blocking the passage. Destroy it with elemental Pyro or Cryo using the elemental skills of the respective characters, for example Amber or Kayi.
Continue on until you come across an Electric Fairy, which will lead to two more chests and a Thunder Cherry Branch. To get through the barrier below, you need to take the Electrogranum.
How to solve the riddle at the bottom of the well
After overcoming the barrier, you will find yourself in a sanctuary with lanterns. Go to the nearest one and insert the amulet that you received from the priestess into it. A drawing with lines will appear in the center of the cave, which is a hint for solving the puzzle.
The essence of the puzzle is to set the correct sequence of lamps to start a chain reaction. There are five of them in total, and the countdown should begin with the one that was activated by the amulet. The order is indicated by a comma symbol above each and is adjusted by pressing "Reorder".
In the first one, nothing needs to be changed, so we immediately go to the next one. Below is the correct order of the lights in the chain:
After the sequence is built, return to the very first lamp, change the unit for combat if necessary, and press "Pray".
How to beat Otimus
If everything is done correctly, Otimusya's opponent will appear - the Phantom Warrior under the well of the village of Konda. He belongs to the enemies with resistance to the elements of Electro, so we advise you to use Pyro, Cryo and Hydro characters against him.
After defeating Ochimusya, the temple servant who issued the task will arrive in the cave, thank the Traveler and ask for help with other barriers.
This completes the task and opens access to the next quest "Sacrificial Offering ».
Awards
Completing the quest "A Strange Case in the Village of Konda" will reward the player with the following rewards:
- source stones x40;
- Mora x20;
- Adventure EXP x350.

Hello, please tell me. I have the key to the well, but there is no opening button... And the task itself also disappeared. Is it possible to do something about this?
Hello) Is the well closed? try re-entering the game through the paymon menu and write to technical support
Why doesn't the lantern puzzle work for me? I do everything as shown but nothing. Please explain 😭
Try re-entering the game through the paymon menu. Check for yourself whether the drawing will turn out according to your arrangement of symbols above the lanterns, and correct if there is an error somewhere. you can leave your player code and call someone in co-op to help
Thanks, it works now
Raa help)
What should I do if I gave away a rusty key to the well? And in the next task “Sacrificial Offering” I cannot open the barrier.
You can get around and go there without a key
and how to do it? It’s impossible to open the lock without this key
indicated in the article about quest Sacrificial Offering. “Cryo Abyss Mage. A little to the west of it, under the cliff near the fairy garden, is the entrance to the cave. Go inside, there is a barrier there."
Guys, thank you very much for your help, you are awesome!
We are trying! Thank you for your feedback :) Come back for more guides, we have a lot of useful information on Genshin (and not only)
I can’t go into the room behind bars where there’s a luxurious chest :/
can you post a screenshot? upload to a file hosting service and send the link here.
Well damn, I can’t open (destroy) this fiol barrier (
what to do ? (((
you take Electrogranum and you can’t get past the barrier?
What should I do if I abandoned this task, but the lens was not given to me?
But I can't start over...
tell me what quests you have in the quest log, and is there one? the lens is not given in it
The assignment is awesome! The location is super. Thanks for the detailed guide! Your site has already helped out more than once.)
Always happy to help 🙂
I can't give the evidence to the old man. What to do?
tell me why you can't? no dialogue option, no evidence in inventory?
Hello, I have evidence and it’s not being released, what should I do?
Hello. how exactly is it not given away? in the selection menu you can switch tabs, none of them contain evidence? what is the stage in the quest log?
What if I don't have an electric pellet there?
thanks for the picture, very helpful
Thanks for the feedback, happy to help 🙂
Accidentally cleared the cherry blossoms in the wrong order, the mystery of the village was the last thing Konda did. Now I can not talk to the spirit of the fox. Maybe someone knows how to solve the problem?
there is a room with a chest behind bars, but I just can’t figure out how to get there, there is a switch in front of the entrance to the room with stairs, but it doesn’t work ((
Below is my comment. It seems like he described in sufficient detail what needs to be done to get into this room.
“Have you been cleansed with a talisman and lanterns? Directly above this place is an Electro-barrier under the ceiling. Go through it and the grate with the switch will be just opposite. On the left side is a ladder to get to the surface, and in a straight line - a grate. Behind her is a room. I don't remember exactly, but maybe it's filled with some stuff that needs to be hit (but that's not certain)."
this is all cool, but how to get the quest? I don't have it, although I went through the whole story (37 AR)
Quite strange indeed, since this is the first quest. It is enough to complete it and the series of tasks of the world "Purification of the sacred sakura" begins. If you completed the Archon's task "Volume 2. Chapter 1", then it should appear. Try to complete some basic quests in Inazuma City, visit the Adventurer's Guild, maybe something like that prevents you from starting the quest.
I went to the room with the lanterns, did everything as it was drawn and nothing happened,
Try to draw a picture without prompts. The starting point is the lantern in which the amulet is laid. One petal glows on it. Then we increase the number of petals from 2 to 5 successively on the remaining lanterns in order to repeat on the ground the image that glows in the picture. It seems that no one else had problems with this drawing.
No, I did everything as in the picture, but nothing happened (yes, I pressed pray)
we updated the guide recently. try exiting the game through the Paimon menu and solving the lantern puzzle again. you can leave your uid in the comments so that they can help in co-op
I don't understand, where is this room with the key and the chest?
Have you been cleansed with a talisman and lanterns? Directly above this place is an Electro-barrier under the ceiling. Go through it and the grate with the switch will be just opposite. On the left side is a ladder to get to the surface, and in a straight line - a grate. Behind her is a room. I don't remember exactly, but maybe it is filled with some kind of trash that needs to be hit (but this is not certain).
I have a bug... I went through the barrier just by accidentally finding a loophole...
where is the loophole???? I really need it
