In this post, you'll learn how to get all of the character endings and branches in the Signs of Evil – a new series of character stories in Hangout Events in Genshin Impact 1.4, this one featuring the exorcist, Chongyun. There are also achievements you can get related to the Hangout, so let's begin.
The event that you’re trying to unlock is a Hangout Event. This means that you’ll need to collect two Story Keys from the daily commission completion in order to unlock them. The keys will only be used for the initial unlock — after that, you won’t need them again.
Meeting By The Wharf (Signs of Evil)
The Hangout quest lines are:
- “The shadow in Guili Plains sounds like it may be a Ruin Hunter.”
- To Take a Test of Courage branch
- Required for Nothing Gained, Goodbyes, and Small Regrets
- “Test of Courage… doesn’t that sound like an advertisement?”
- A Curious Gaze branch
- Required for Blessing in Disguise, Idle Amusements, Can’t Beat this Heat
A Curious Gaze
Possible choices on this line:
- “What if you just give him one of the popsicles?”
- The Rumoured Heretical Ground branch: to Blessing in Disguise ending
- “Since he has a sister, you should probably give him both.”
- Popsicle Emergency branch: to Idle Amusements, Can’t Beat this Heat endings
Popsicle Emergency
You have to provide the certain ingredients to Chongyun. There are three options:
- A Cooling Mix
- Requires Mist Flower Corolla, Qingxin
- Leads to Lingering Worry
- A Sweet Mix
- Requires Valberry, Sunsettia
- Leads to Lingering Worry
- A Curious Mix
- Requires Jueyen Chili, Slime Condensate
- Can’t Beat this Heat ending
Lingering Worry
The results of your responses don’t matter much in this branch. You have to play Hide and Seek with the kids and Chongyun, and you can find them at the locations below:
To finish this quest, you'll need to create a mountain delicacy dish: Cold Noodles with Mountain Delicacies.
3 Mushroom, 2 Raw Meat, 2 Flour
When the quest chain is over, you will receive the “Idle Amusements” ending.
The Rumoured Heretical Ground
If you correctly answer the question, you’ll get the “Behold, Mine Evil-Espying Eye!” achievement.
The following answers should be chosen:
- “There’s a ghostly shadow skulking about Feiyun Slope at night. It’s suspected to be a vengeful spirit.”
- “Deep in the Sea of Clouds, a marauding demon has been raiding commercial fishing boats and building a luxurious palace.”
- “There is a vigilant demon adept at concealing itself in mist. Recently, people have found traces of it in Mingyun Village, Guili Plains, and Yaoguang Shoal.”
Now you must defeat the three Hilichurls! If you’ve done it right, you’ll get the Blessing in Disguise ending.
To Take A Test Of Courage
You will take a trip to Wuwang Hill for this quest line.
- “Let’s both drink it. If you lose control, I’ll be sure to take care of you.”
- Chongyun’s Determination branch
- “Just let me drink it alone.”
- Unsettling Feeling to Nothing Going Bump After All branch
Chongyun’s Determination
Selections will lead to:
- “Sure, just have a rest. I’ll continue investigating on my own.”
- Nothing Gained ending
- “Let me help you find a place to rest.”
- You’ll have a choice between:
- Cyro Whopperflower Recipe: Fight 2 Cyro Whopperflowers

- Resulting to Nothing Going Bump After All
Nothing Going Bump After All
Choices leads to:
- “Remember that strange mist we found earlier? I would like to investigate that further.”
- Goodbyes Ending
- “Right, let’s head back.”
- Small Regrets ending
Once you’ve acquired all endings, you will earn the “Evil is Banished” achievement.
