Genshin Impact: The Finishing Touch? Achievement Guide

There is an achievement called [The Finishing Touch?] in version 5.2. Remember that this is different from the achievement [The Finishing Touch] from from version 2.0 where we need to fight Azhdaha. This guide will show you how to complete the puzzles and get the achievement.


How To Get The Finishing Touch? Achievement in Genshin Impact

To get The Finishing Touch? achievement, you need to complete 3 set of puzzles before talking to the Will of the Mysterious Graffiti. The tasks that the mysterious graffiti you are:

First, the east, where shadows have emerged from where they once hid, within the murals of legendary heroes.

The west is the second, where, upon a sea of mystery, darkness manifests, affecting a galling parody of the lord of the deepest night.

Third lies beneath the cliffs, where a pale fog that could have dissipated now spreads as Cinder City stirs...


The Puzzle in The East

For the puzzle in the east, the graffiti mentioned about a mural of legendary heroes. Teleport to the underground waypoint that leads to Tenebrous Papilla boss but head east to another location. You should have reached this place if you already complete the second Tribal Chronicle of Masters of the Night-Wind.
Once you reach the mural, extract colors from Hued Monetoos and color the murals (yellow - blue - red). After that, a hidden path will open and keep heading further into the cave until you reach another mural.

Head deeper and solve all the mural puzzles until the end where you get the achievement [Every Picture Tells a Story]. By then, you will also complete the puzzle by the Mysterious Graffiti. If you didn't complete it yet, follow the guides below:

For the second mural puzzle, use an Iktomisaur and scan the Nightspirit Graffiti on the wall and place it on the ground. Few enemies will appear and you need to defeat them. After that, solve a short puzzle below.

Use an Iktomisaur first to absorb the graffiti on the wall and place it down at the front (right in front of the mural).

After all 4 rocks are here, extract colors from Hued Monetoos and color the rocks according to the mural on the wall. There are no green color so extract both Blue and Yellow to make a Green. Then, a hole in the ground appear. Keep going until you reach the next mural.

For the last mural puzzle, you need to help the Monetoo to cross the river/sea by creating a wind current (right-click mouse). After all 4 stages are done, you will get the achievement [Every Picture Tells a Story] and also complete the task from the Mysterious Graffiti.


The Puzzle in The West

The puzzle they mention here is basically by solving the fog issue in Tecoloapan Bay. In other words, complete the whole The Mystery of Tecoloapan Beach quest and you will solve this 'puzzle'. I had already made a guide to solve the puzzle in another post and you can read them here: The Mystery of Tecoloapan Beach Quest Guide


The Puzzle "Beneath The Cliffs"

For the last instructions, there are 2 puzzles you need to solve. One is in the southwest of Masters of the Night-Wind while the other is in the west of Stadium of the Sacred Flame. Both puzzles are about restoring colors + removing fogs in the places marked above. If you didn't complete them yet, follow the guides below:

Pale Mist Puzzle #1 (Southwest of Masters of the Night-Wind)

First, activate the stone statue so the small AoE area around the statue will get their colors back. After that, push the rock from behind by using melee basic attack (you can see the tracks on the floor).

Then, indwell an Iktomisaur before absorbing the Nightspirit Graffiti on the wall. Release the Nightspirit Body on its location back (place it on the empty spot where the rock were in order). This will unlock a hidden area so you can keep pushing the stone statue inside it.

Once the special statue reach the end of the track and the Hued Monetoos are active again, extract the red color and paint the rock that doesn't have color (it must be red). Then, touch the rock to complete the puzzle here.
To know whether you had already complete this puzzle or not, go back to the initial location and see whether it has color or not. If yes, you're good.

Pale Mist Puzzle #2 (West of Stadium of the Sacred Flame)

Same as before, activate the first statue so the small surrounding will have color back. The yellow Hued Monetoo will also be active again.

Next, activate the second statue nearby. You can see the track is incomplete as there is an empty section at the front.

Extract the yellow from the Hued Monetoo and release it at the empty track so the statue can move forward. Keep pushing the statue until it reaches the end of the track.

Finally, extract the yellow from another Hued Monetoo and release it to the rock that doesn't have any color. Touch the rock afterward to complete the puzzle here and the color in the surrounding area should go back to normal.


Once you're done with all the puzzles, go to the Mysterious Graffiti southeast of Masters of the Night-Wind and talk to it multiple times until it mentioned how you had already done everything and you gives you the achievement.
