“The Discarded Insignia” is Part 2 of the Scattered Past questline and is available atop Minacious Isle’s inner cliffs. This quest too is similar to Part 1 where we are required to find something and give it to the Fatui for them to regain clarity and regroup together.
The Discarded Insignia in Genshin Impact
- Climb up the inner cliffs of Minacious Island to reach the upside-down structures above.
- Follow the quest marker and find the lone Electro Warhammer Fatui who’s missing his warhammer.
- After talking to the Fatui Vanguard you’ll get the quest to search for the Discarded Insignia
- Teleport to the Pudding Isle where the Discarded Insignia is located.
- The Discarded Insignia is in the marked location above. Collect it and go back to the Electrohammer Fatui.
- Our next task is to find an individual named Yakov and find a path to reach him.
- Solve the Elemental Totem Puzzle below by lighting up the totems in this order: Cryo (white), Anemo (green), Pyro (red) and finally Hydro (blue)- this is the hint you’ll find on one of the nearby conches.
- After all the totems have been lit, go towards the Cryo totem and use Anemo on the windmill to create a wind current.
- Fly up the wind current to reach the portal which will transport you all to Yakov’s island
- Talk to the Electro Hammer Fatui again upon reaching the island and then go look for Yakov around the camp.
- Talk to Yakov who’s a Geo Shielder Fatui to complete the quest.
You will get 30 Primogems and 3 Purple Books as a reward. The Part 3 of the Scattered Past questline is “The Misplaced Conch” quest which you’ll have to go manually in search for. The above quest should take players 15-20 minutes at most and the entire questline should take about an hour and a half at most.
