Steps[]

  1. Talk to Viktor
  2. Collect Mitachurl Loot / Treasure Hoarder Loot / Ruin Guard Loot
  3. Talk to Viktor

Gameplay Notes[]

  • Completing this commission after selecting each of the 3 questions (by completing the Commission at least 3 times) will grant the achievement Telling It How It Is. Duplicate options are still available on repeat attempts, so the player should keep in mind which one(s) they already chose.
  • Completing this commission for the first time unlocks the Equivalent Exchange World Quest.
  • When having selected the Fatui option (the one where Viktor asks the player to collect Mitachurl Loot), there is no need to defeat the Hilichurl Berserker, since simply defeating the Blazing Axe Mitachurl will cause the player to obtain the Mitachurl Loot. Similarly, when having selected the Delusion option (the one where Viktor asks the player to collect Treasure Hoarder Loot), defeating the Treasure Hoarders: Gravedigger in the second wave is unnecessary, since the player only needs to defeat the Treasure Hoarders: Crusher in order to obtain the Treasure Hoarder Loot.

Rewards[]

Dialogue[]

Tales of Winter (41) Quest Description

In Mondstadt, the Fatui member Viktor is recruiting people to join their cause. This may be a good opportunity to pry into what the Fatui is up to.

Viktor: Traveler, over here. I've been watching you.
Tales of Winter (42) What do you want?
Viktor: Come now, why the wary tone? I've got a fine proposition for you.
Viktor: How would you like to join the Fatui?
Paimon: You wish! Isn't that right?
Tales of Winter (43) I'll give it some thought.
Paimon: Hey! What do you mean you'll give it some thought? Shouldn't we be refusing right away?
Viktor: You've got a good eye. If you want to do great things, there's no place like the Fatui.
Tales of Winter (44) Well, this is Mondstadt.
Viktor: And so what if it is? We, the Fatui, recruit from all over the continent. This is fair game, and Knights have no say in it.
Viktor: Now... By the look of you, you must have questions, yes?
(Dialogue branches off here, and affects Viktor's response after completing the commission.)
Tales of Winter (45) So, tell me about the Fatui...
Viktor: How very direct. Hmm, this is quite the long story.
Viktor: But given that you're not yet an official member of the Fatui, I can't tell you, either...
Viktor: I've heard that there are a lot of hilichurls around Mondstadt, and some have even huddled together into groups.
Viktor: Let's make a deal. You take a stroll outside and bring a trophy from a Mitachurl back for me, and I'll tell you a little story. How does that sound?
Tales of Winter (46) Sure.
Viktor: Very straightforward, I like it. One hardly finds someone like you in Mondstadt.
Viktor: Hurry along, then. I'll be waiting for you here. Did I mention that you should hurry?
Tales of Winter (47) Is this all you need?
Viktor: What, too easy? It'll do, or do you think you can take on something nastier?
Viktor: Just go, and be back soon. I'll wait here.
Viktor: *sigh* If you'd kept me waiting any longer, I'd have been put to sleep by this wind...
(Talking to Viktor again)
Viktor: Don't forget, it's a Mitachurl trophy that you want. Come back here once you've got it.
Viktor: What is it, specifically? It's... a horn. Just go get it already.
Tales of Winter (48) So, about Delusions, then...
Viktor: Hah! I say, are you an idiot, or is that just an act?
Viktor: You're not even an official member of the Fatui. Do you really think you can ask "what's a Delusion?" just like that?
Viktor: Do you think I'd tell you? Like those two Knights of Favonius guards at the gate?
Viktor: Still, Delusions are our precious pride and joy — it couldn't hurt to explain a little.
Viktor: How about this, then. I believe you've seen those Treasure Hoarders outside Mondstadt?
Viktor: They're a bunch of skulking two-bit pikers, but they do sometimes blunder into something valuable.
Viktor: If you could head over there and take a little something off them, I'll tell you a bit about Delusions in return.
Tales of Winter (49) Alright, then.
Viktor: I think I like you. Off you go, then.
Tales of Winter (50) Are you lacking money?
Viktor: Money? Hahaha, do you take me for one of those Knights of Favonius?
Viktor: No, I'd just like to see what those Treasure Hoarders can dig up in Mondstadt.
Viktor: That said, I don't think they'll find anything decent. *chuckles*
(Talking to Viktor again)
Viktor: Remember, you want to nick something off those Treasure Hoarders.
Viktor: The deal is off if you try to fool me with any old thing.
Tales of Winter (51) Now, about the Tsaritsa...
Viktor: What, you want to ask me about the Tsaritsa?
Viktor: Is she the reason you want to join the Fatui?
Viktor: I don't mean to put you down, but weigh your words for a moment, why don't you?
Viktor: Still, the Tsaritsa is something that I cannot tell you about.
Viktor: Why don't you go grab something off a Ruin Guard? I'm in need of something to fiddle with.
Tales of Winter (52) I... Fine.
Viktor: Well, then off you get. I'll be waiting here.
Tales of Winter (53) What do you need that for?
Viktor: Eh? Can't a man collect trinkets? Or are you Mondstadt folk afraid of a little Ruin Guard?
Viktor: To us Fatui, we would barely need to lift a finger to take care of it.
Viktor: Still... *sigh* this breeze really is lulling me to sleep, so I'll leave this trifling matter to you.
(Talking to Viktor again)
Viktor: You're looking for a trophy claimed from the body of a Ruin Guard, alright? Don't you get lazy to hoodwink me with something else.
Viktor: *sigh* I'm getting sleepier by the minute...
(After talking to Viktor)
Paimon: Are you really still thinking of joining the Fatui? They're not good people, you know.
Paimon: You've seen how arrogant they are. You don't want to become like them, do you?
Paimon: Eh? "A chance to gather intel"... Are you saying that you want to use this chance to get more information on the Fatui from that guy?
Paimon: Well... you do have a point, but Paimon doesn't like it. Why do we need to do the Fatui's dirty work...
Paimon: But if you say so, Paimon'll believe you.
(After obtaining the item)
Paimon: This must be the loot that he is after... Let's bring it back to him.
(Returning to Viktor if previously asked about the Fatui)
Viktor: Have you brought it?
Tales of Winter (54) Sure have.
Viktor: Let me have a look. Well... it's passable.
Viktor: Now, let me tell you a little something about the Fatui.
Viktor: We Fatui hail from Zapolyarny Palace. We hear the commands of Her Majesty the Tsaritsa and we inherit her will, enacting it throughout the land.
Viktor: The eleven strongest among us have been granted the title of Harbingers by Her Majesty.
Viktor: Compared to a nameless grunt like me, the Eleven Harbingers are truly great figures.
Viktor: If you join the Fatui and prove your strength, then perhaps you might be chosen by one of them.
Viktor: And then you'd be on the up and up.
Viktor: As for me? Well, I'm hardly "chosen", but I am running a little errand here for Signora.
Viktor: But if you made me choose... I'd prefer to work under Capitano.
(Obtain Mora ×2,000)
(Returning to Viktor if previously asked about Delusions)
Viktor: So, have you got it?
Tales of Winter (55) Indeed.
Viktor: Let me see. Gah, of course you couldn't find anything good in this backwater...
Viktor: Alright, alright, one story about Delusions coming right up. Let me think...
Viktor: Delusions are treasures of incredible power, granted by Her Majesty the Tsaritsa in person. Whether faith or Vision, a Delusion makes them all look like child's play.
Viktor: Still, not everyone can wield one. Beyond the Eleven Harbingers, very few other Fatui possess a Delusion.
Viktor: Even so, for an ordinary mortal like me, a Delusion is far more practical than a Vision, which one can only get by the grace of the gods.
Viktor: Ha, I see that you don't own a Vision, either. How about it, then? If you join the Fatui, who knows? Maybe you really will come to possess a Delusion.
Viktor: And that's all I have to say about Delusions. The Knights of Favonius are rather touchy about these things, so best you don't send them running my way.
(Obtain Mora ×2,000)
(Returning to Viktor if previously asked about the Tsaritsa)
Viktor: So, did you bring the goods?
Tales of Winter (56) Sure did.
Viktor: Oh, now this is not bad. You've got some skill, alright.
Viktor: So, you'd like to know about Her Majesty the Tsaritsa, correct? Now, where to begin?
Viktor: If you need a simple summary, it is that the Tsaritsa is our god.
Viktor: This is no abstraction, only concrete truth. The Tsaritsa is the Cryo Archon, one of the Seven who hold dominion over the mortal realm.
Viktor: But to us Fatui, Her Majesty has a status beyond even that of a god.
Viktor: As for why... I doubt you would understand even if I explained it. Or should I say, you couldn't understand.
Viktor: If you wish to understand, then join us. Once you do, you will comprehend how Her Majesty the Tsaritsa is...
Viktor: ...Heh, and that's all I'll say for now. That nun is giving me the stink-eye again.
(Obtain Mora ×2,000)
