Genshin Impact 2.8 has plenty of content slammed into the Golden Apple Archipelago and as such these groups of islands come with their own time-limited World Quests which can earn you a ton of primogems. The Scattered Past questline is a group of quests concerning and aiding the Fatui and they can be accessed after completing the “Like Rhyme and Song, the Summer Reverie” questline.
The Misplaced Photo in Genshin Impact
This quest is about aiding a Mirror Maiden to find her brother and regroup with the other Fatuis since they shouldn’t be here on this archipelago. It seems the Mirror Maidens and the other Fatuis in the area are not in their senses and are stuck, lost or stranded on this archipelago so our goal in this quest is to find her a lost photo of her family.
- Teleport to the Broken Isle and the quest marker will guide you to the location of the Mirror Maiden.
- Talk to the Mirror Maiden to get the quest in which she will ask you to find a Pocket Watch.
- The Pocket Watch with the Fatuu’s family picture is located on the same island on the backside. You’ll find it in the marked and encircled region on the map above.
- Give the item to the Mirror Maiden to help her regain her clarity.
- Next, teleport to the middle waypoint in the Broken Isle.
- Follow the quest marker to reach the Mirror Maiden on the cliffside, atop the tree branch.
- Talk to the Mirror Maiden again as she finds her brother sealed and trapped behind the vines.
- Glide down and interact with the harp to unseal her Fatui brother.
- Go back and talk to the Fatui to get the next quest in the questline.
- Teleport to Minacious Island and change the island to the version matching the Broken Isle. If they are already matching then there’s no need to change anything.
- Keep climbing up along the inside-cliffs of the island to reach the upside-down structures above.
- If you see another quest marker you’ll know if it’s the right version of the island and as you get closer, The Misplaced Photo quest will be automatically complete, rewarding you with 30 Primogems and 3 Purple Books.
This was only the first part of the quest and thankfully the first part ends where the second one starts so you can start the next part immediately. Even if not you’ll know where the second part of the quest starts. If you have Venti, Kazuha or Keqing, it will make climbing the cliffs in Minacious Island easier.
