Illusion of Inanis is triggered on its own when you reach the Crimson Forest, with a marker in the southeast area. Advance past the Burial Grounds bell, find the illusion of Inanis next to a stone lantern at the edge of the cliff and choose to ask about the way: Inanis clears the mist and the quest is completed. It is part of the story, so it is very hard to miss.
Where does Illusion of Inanis start?
In the chapter Snake’s Reflection. It is added to the journal automatically when you touch the first bell in the Crimson Forest (the Crane Bell), after a cutscene in which Inanis talks to Soul. No NPC gives it and there is no prerequisite: just follow the story from Weeping Creek Valley.
Step by step
Book and petal titles are translated from the Spanish version of the game; the in-game English wording may differ.
- Touch the first bell in the Crimson ForestThe quest appears with the objective of finding the illusion of Inanis. Next to the bell is “The Flower Inanis Left”, with a single petal.
- Head southeastFollow the main route (Hua Qianxiao, Trail of Cages, Jing Ye, Stone Hand) to the Mirrorwood Long Pillar and the Burial Grounds bell.
- Enter the misty forestPast the Burial Grounds, continue toward the golden lotus rock (one of the petals of the Inanis Memory Flower is there).
- Talk to the illusion of InanisShe is next to a stone lantern at the edge of the cliff, about 35 m from the Parting Mists bell. Watch the cutscene and choose the option to ask about the way.
- Touch the Parting Mists bellInanis clears the mist and the quest is completed. Activate the bell: it saves your return point and becomes available for travel.
Rewards
No source credits it with an item of its own: the reward is the path that opens. Next to Parting Mists is the first human-faced Banyan tree (rematch against Jing Ye and his two allies). The Inanis Memory Flower (6 petals, +10% max health) is also spread around the area; each petal is listed in the Memory Flowers.
In theory it fails, like all purple quests, if you cross into the Mirage Estate without finishing it. In practice it is completed during the Crimson Forest story, before reaching Bai Chilian. If it is still open in the journal, go back to the Burial Grounds bell and look for the lantern on the cliff.
