Quest Walkthrough: Where Once Force Was Reversed
After successfully completing both Once, the Sacred Seat of Judgment and Where Once There Was a Calculation Array, approach the large Secret Source Servant to glean information about the next area afflicted by Abyssal Corrosion. Initiating this dialogue will set the stage for the Where Once Force Was Reversed sub-quest.
From the Secret Source Servant, navigate westward towards a location named Heart of Force Inversion. Continue heading west until you reach a teleport point to facilitate faster travel.
Upon arriving near the teleport point, you will encounter a Secret Source Servant under attack by two Pyro Abyss Mages. Successfully defeating these foes will liberate the servant. Follow the freed servant to a floating mechanism. Unfortunately, the servant will be struck by Abyssal Ooze, causing a mishap that will drop you into the hazardous liquid phlogiston.
Luckily, the Secret Source Servant creates a solid phlogiston platform for you to traverse. Follow it towards the lava waterfall ahead. This servant will solidify the waterfall, enabling a transformation into a Tepetlisaur, allowing you to ascend the freshly solidified waterfall.
At the summit, you’ll discover a small pool of lava housing a mechanism. Execute a careful jump to activate the solidification process, then scale the waterfall once more to discover your pathway ahead.
As you continue, you will come across another Secret Source Servant stranded on a small floating island. Teamwork will be crucial here, as you and a companion named Little One must collaborate to rescue this servant.
- Position Little One atop the mechanical cube on the right while you stand on the left side. This maneuver raises the mechanical cube to enable access to the floating island.
- Subsequently, the Secret Source Servant can stand on the elevated cube.
- To balance the weight, glide down to the ground, returning the cubes to their original stance.
Follow the relieved Secret Source Servant as it creates another solidified pathway leading to a teleport point adjacent to the area plagued by Abyssal Corrosion. Here, you can utilize Tepetlisaur’s ability to activate mines under the Abyssal Oozes to cleanse the corruption effectively.
Once the Abyssal Corrosion has been successfully removed, a lush pool of liquid phlogiston will fill the area, triggering a visually captivating cutscene.
Completing the Where Once Force Was Reversed quest rewards players with:
- 1 x Luxurious Chest
- 1 x Exquisite Chest
- 1 x Common Chest
After claiming your rewards from the treasure chests, head back towards the previously solidified waterfall to collect the second unit of Phlogiston. This marks the conclusion of the Where Once Force Was Reversed quest in Genshin Impact.
