Gazing at the Pale Crown, Lost in Sleep in Genshin Impact: How to Summon the Train, Solving the Riddles

“Gazing at the Pale Crown, Lost in Sleep” is the first quest in the “Palace or Royal Tomb” questline in Genshin Impact. In this quest, Travelers explore the White King’s Palace and learn more about the origins of the Eye of Gray. In this guide, we’ll explain how to summon the secret tracks, how to brew a potion, how to feed the cat, and other walkthrough details.

First, you’ll need to reach Adventure Rank 18 or higher and complete Snowblossom’s first story quest in the Land of Silence.

You can accept the quest near the Statue of the Archons. If you haven’t unlocked the statue yet, teleport to the Royal Theater, fly down to the tracks, and follow the tracks until you see a passage on your left. Walk across the frozen lake until you reach the end, where you’ll see the White King’s Palace opposite the Statue of the Archons. The quest will start automatically.

Follow the fairy; she’ll lead you to a tower where you can activate the secret tracks.

While moving, the Travelers will be transported into a dream that tells a brief backstory of the area. Read the instructions on how to feed the cat and find the key to the snowman’s laboratory—that is, to the next room.

Walk to the room with the painting. You’ll need to shake it three times to open the passage to the next room.

In the next room, the game will ask you to balance the feather. You can choose any items; after three attempts, the Travelers will figure out that they need to make a special potion in the alchemy lab. This will happen off-screen—you don’t need to mix anything manually.

After that, you can finally feed the cat. She’ll help lure Vsevolod out of the room by breaking his potion.

Watch the cutscene of Oka Grai’s conversation with Aksinya. He was once a Proto-human, created to replace the White King. However, something went wrong, as the rest of the story reveals. The traveler will end up on the other side of the island, and the quest “Stone Beasts Sit Like Ghosts” will begin.
