Prerequisites Before Starting the Quest
Unlock Required Story Progression

- Chapter II: Act I The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia
- Chapter II: Act II Stillness, the Sublimation of Shadow

Assist in the Assault

Tips for this section:
- Use Hydro and Pyro characters to trigger Vaporize and Overload reactions for fast damage.
- Save your Elemental Bursts for the larger enemy waves.
- Focus on ranged enemies like Electro Cicin Mages first, as they can be disruptive.

Infiltrating the Shogun’s Castle
After a series of battles, you’ll advance toward Tenshukaku, Raiden Shogun’s palace. Expect more enemy encounters, including elite Shogunate soldiers and Fatui skirmishers. There will be dialogue with Kujou Sara as the resistance confronts the Shogunate. Eventually, this leads to an intense boss fight with the Raiden Shogun herself.

- She can disable your Elemental Skills temporarily. Use normal attacks and stamina wisely.

After lowering Raiden Shogun’s health to a certain point, a cutscene will trigger where Yae Miko intervenes. This turns the tide of the battle and helps you escape direct defeat. While Raiden Shogun may seem undefeatable, this scripted sequence advances the story instead of requiring you to finish her off completely.
Aftermath and Character Interactions
Resolution with Kujou Sara and Raiden Ei
Following the climax, the story moves into a calmer scene where characters reflect on the conflict. Kujou Sara begins to question her loyalty, and Raiden Shogun begins to understand the damage her decree has caused. These developments are critical to the broader Inazuma narrative and set up future quests and character arcs.
