This guide shares the location of all six Foggy Forest Branches that you need to submit to Pashiv in Genshin Impact.
Foggy Forest Branch are hidden quest item in Genshin Impact whose search leads to several challenges and puzzles around the Erinnyes Forest region of Fontaine that not only reward you with the said item but also with Exquisite and higher rarity treasure chests for extra reward.
You need the Foggy Forest Branch for Pashiv, the NPC whom you first encounter during The Wild Fairy of Erinnyes world quest.
But since they are well hidden behind puzzles and challenges and are scattered around the Erinnyes Forest, finding them is daunting.
In the wake of that, we prepared this detailed guide walking you through the location of all six Foggy Forest Branch while talking about how you can get and use them in Genshin Impact.
All Foggy Forest Branch Locations In Genshin Impact
There are six Foggy Forest Branch in total that you need to complete Pashiv's secret quest in Genshin Impact.
We have marked the location of all six Foggy Forest Branch using the quest marker and have highlighted them for convenience.
Foggy Forest Branch #1
The first Foggy Forest Branch is found west of Loch Urania, near the player icon, as shown in the above map screenshot.
Once you reach the given location, climb up the mountain and initiate the challenge of collecting Hydro Particles.
Collect all ten Hydro Particles within 45 seconds to complete the challenge. Doing so will spawn an Exquisite Chest that holds a Foggy Forest Branch.
The Exquisite Chest spawns right next to the nearby Teleport Waypoint. Head there and open it.
Along with the Foggy Forest Branch, the Exquisite Chest also rewards you with regular items like weapons, Enhancement Ores, Artifacts and such things.
Foggy Forest Branch #2
The second Foggy Forest Branch is located west of the Weeping Willow of the Lake area in the Erinnyes Forest region of Fontaine.
Head to the above location, and you will find a Hydro Core-related puzzle that you must solve to get the second Foggy Forest Branch. To solve the puzzle, touch the Hydro Core on top of the rock.
After that, dip yourself in water to power up the Hydro Core, in short, until there are two cores, eventually forming a cicular ring as shown in the below screenshot.
Now, climb on top of the rock and install the Hydro Core and then head down.
Strike the object as you see in the above screenshot to make the hydro objects move.
Now, strike the object once again, but right when two of the hydro objects are touching the water and are glowing, as shown in the below screenshot.
Doing so will spawn a Precious Chest, holding the second Foggy Forest Branch.
Foggy Forest Branch #3
The third Foggy Forest Branch is located south of the Weeping Willow of the Lake location. Head to the hihglighted quest marked location.
Once you are there, hit the clamp and touch the Ousia block, the small orb inside it.
After that, jump into the nearby water body and dive inside. You will find an object that you can destroy using the obtained orb.
Destroy it to spawn an Exquisite Chest that you can open to get the third Foggy Forest Branch.
Foggy Forest Branch #4
The fourth Foggy Forest Branch is found southeast of Weeping Willow of the Lake. Head to the highlighted location.
Once you are there, you will find a locked iron door holding the chest with the fourth Foggy Forest Branch item.
To open the door, you need three Simple Vault Keys:
- Simple Vault Key I
- Simple Vault Key II
- Simple Vault Key III
Once you have these, head to the locked door, open it, and interact with the chest to obtain the fourth Foggy Forest Branch.
Simple Vault Key I
You can find Simple Vault Key I inside the bird nest on top of the broken ship. Climb on top of the broken ship.
Note: You can use the nearby jellyfish to attain height in case you lack a playable character that can help you climb the ship.
Interact with the bird nest to obtain two Eggs and the Simple Vault Key I.
Simple Vault Key II
You can find Simple Vault Key II inside the common chest that you can unlock by defeating the nearby Treasure Hoarders.
Once you defeat the Treasure Hoarders, head to the Common Chest and open it to get the Simple Vault Key II.
Simple Vault Key III
You can find Simple Vault Key III by investigating a small box buried underground. First, head to the player icon location, as shown in the above map screenshot.
After that, investigate once to dig out the small box and investigate again to open it and obtain the third and final Simple Vault Key.
Foggy Forest Branch #5
The fifth Foggy Forest Branch is located east of Weeping Willow of the Lake, near the highlighted location.
When you reach there, you will find a water well leading to a hidden chamber with a locked cage. Inside the chamber, you will find the Exquisite Chest holding the fifth Foggy Forest Branch.
Now, to get inside, first head to the nearby water body, which is infected by crystals moving around it.
To remove the infection, collect the Hydro Orb to gain the ability to destroy the crystals.
Now, use the ability until you destroy both crystals and the water becomes clear.
Dive underwater and take the rift by interacting with it to get inside the chamber that you previously saw through the water well.
Once inside, open the Exquisite Chest to obtain the fifth Foggy Forest Branch, along with other rewards.
After that, while you are in the room, climb the ladder and interact with the switch on the wall to open the cage.
Once you do that, you can head outside. However, keep in mind, you can also teleport directly to another location. We recommend opening the gate just for future use.
Foggy Forest Branch #6
The final Foggy Forest Branch is located southeast of Weeping Willow of the Lake area of the Erinnyes Forest region.
Head to the highlighted location, and you will find a circular ring above the water body and a big boulder underwater.
You must use the nearby Hydro Orb to gain the ability to push the Hydro Boulder to destroy the circular barrier and, eventually the big boulder.
Head to the above location and interact with the Orb to gain Hydro ability. After that, align yourself behind the boulder such that a straight line leads to the barrier on top of the water.
Hold the ability button and as the boulder starts to shiver, release the button to throw it in the direction of the barrier, destroying it and unlocking the underwater rift.
Head inside the rift and you will get teleported to the above location, holding an Exquisite Chest and a Precious Chest. The latter holds the last Foggy Forest Branch.
