The Genshin Impact<\/a> Archon Quests are released act by act, and each act lists its own Adventure Rank and the quest it follows. This guide puts every act in one table from HoYoverse’s own update notes, current for Version 7.1 (23 September 2026), and separates three things that are easy to mix up: travelling to a region, the standard conditions to start its story, and time-limited Quick Start functions.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":" TL;DR<\/p>\n In our reading, Archon Quests form the main story line of Genshin Impact. The update notes reviewed here document Adventure Rank requirements and prerequisites for many acts, but not every act. The “order” below is the chapter sequence the notes use. Some acts also pull in Story Quests, and a few chapters can be entered by a shortcut.<\/p>\n Three numbers matter most when you are checking whether you can start something:<\/p>\n The table lists every act in the order HoYoverse released it, which is also the order the prerequisites chain them. Each row cites the version note that states it; a value from an older note can change later, and the newest note for that act is the one shown. Where a cell says “Not stated”, the update notes we checked (Version 1.1 onward) give no value. Interlude acts sit where they were released, because each one waits for a specific main-story act.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"table","headers":[{"header_text":"Act"},{"header_text":"Adventure Rank"},{"header_text":"Also requires"},{"header_text":"Version note"}],"rows":[{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Prologue: Act I \"The Outlander Who Caught the Wind\""},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Prologue: Act II \"For a Tomorrow Without Tears\""},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Prologue: Act III \"Song of the Dragon and Freedom\""},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Chapter I: Act I \"Of the Land Amidst Monoliths\""},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Chapter I: Act II \"Farewell, Archaic Lord\""},{"cell_text":"25 (was 29)"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"2.0"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Chapter I: Act III \"A New Star Approaches\""},{"cell_text":"28 (was 35)"},{"cell_text":"Chapter I: Act II"},{"cell_text":"1.1, 2.0"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Chapter I: Act IV"},{"cell_text":"28 (was 36)"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"2.0"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Chapter II: Prologue \"Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves\""},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"},{"cell_text":"Not stated"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Chapter II: Act I \"The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia\""},{"cell_text":"30"},{"cell_text":"Chapter II: Prologue"},{"cell_text":"2.0"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Chapter II: Act II \"Stillness, the Sublimation of Shadow\""},{"cell_text":"30"},{"cell_text":"Chapter II: Act I;
