I have to admit something: when I finished The Sunken Ship Sailed Past, Ringing No Bells, I genuinely believed Chulkaturin's strange little story had reached its end. A wooden cabin stranded on the ice, a man who kept asking me to haul his house around like a piece of furniture, a ship that sailed past without ever ringing its bells — it all felt like a self-contained side story that had already said everything it needed to say.

Then a fresh quest marker appeared on my map, and I realized HoYoverse had one last emotional gut punch waiting for me. That quest is In the Tranquility of Cycles, and if you're grinding toward full completion in the newest Genshin Impact region, you absolutely should not skip it. So what does it take to trigger the mission, and what do you actually walk away with? Let me break down everything I learned the hard way.

The Prerequisites Nobody Warns You About

Here's the thing that tripped me up: this quest will not simply appear because you wandered into the right cave. It is gated behind two earlier World Quests, and they must be completed in a specific order.

Order Quest Why It Matters
1 Ever Beneath the Waves Introduces the mysterious figure who later reveals himself as Chulkaturin
2 The Sunken Ship Sailed Past, Ringing No Bells Continues his story and unlocks the final chapter
3 In the Tranquility of Cycles The conclusion — and the achievement

You cannot meet Chulkaturin at the final location without finishing both earlier missions first. And because they're sequential, clearing Ever Beneath the Waves is what makes The Sunken Ship Sailed Past, Ringing No Bells show up at all. Skip one, and the last quest stays invisible forever. It's a classic HoYoverse chain-gating trick, and it catches a lot of players off guard.

Revisiting the Earlier Chapters

If you're like me and played those earlier quests weeks ago, a quick refresher helps.

In Ever Beneath the Waves, you stumble across a Wooden House on Ice and its unseen occupant. Before he ever tells you his name, he asks you to drag the entire cabin to shore using Grappling Guns positioned at specific spots. It's an odd, almost meditative little puzzle. Your effort is rewarded with:

  • Adventure EXP ×250

  • Primogem ×30

  • Mora ×20,000

  • Hero's Wit ×2

  • Mystic Enhancement Ores ×3

  • A Precious Chest

Then comes The Sunken Ship Sailed Past, Ringing No Bells. Head north of Morepesok and Chulkaturin is waiting again — this time he needs his house relocated so he can retrieve his construction materials. The rewards there are:

  • Adventure EXP ×200

  • Primogem ×30

  • Mora ×35,000

  • A Precious Chest

What Actually Happens in In the Tranquility of Cycles

Now for the main event. And here's the twist — it's short. Almost shockingly short.

There are no puzzles, no combat encounters, no Grappling Gun gymnastics. The entire quest is a conversation between the Traveler, Paimon, and Chulkaturin. That's it. You watch the end of his story play out, and then it's over.

Is that disappointing? Honestly, no. Not everything needs a boss fight bolted onto it. Sometimes the quietest quests hit the hardest, and this one lands precisely because it refuses to dress itself up as something bigger. It's a farewell, and it plays like one.

Completing the conversation grants you the "The Cherry Orchard Has Been Sold" achievement, worth 5 Primogems. Its description reads: "Witness the cabin on the ice turn upside down, fall still, and finally sink." If that doesn't tell you everything about the tone here, nothing will.

Full Rewards Breakdown

Reward Amount
Adventure EXP 100
Primogem 20
Mora 10,000
Achievement The Cherry Orchard Has Been Sold (5 Primogems)
Luxurious Chest Yes

That Luxurious Chest is the real prize. Mine contained the Remnant Incense Guide – Fellfrost Peak, which is a genuinely useful pickup if you're still filling out your collection in the region.

Why It's Still Worth Doing

Beyond the loot, this quest counts toward Meeting Point: Tidesong Cavern, a World Quest tracking task worth six Cryo Sigils. If you're saving Sigils for anything in the region, this is a quick, painless way to grab a handful.

So yes — it's a short quest with barely any gameplay attached. But it closes the book on one of the strangest, saddest side characters Genshin Impact has introduced in a long while. If you've already invested two full quests into Chulkaturin's fate, why would you stop one conversation short of the ending?

Finish the chain. Watch the cabin sink. You'll be glad you did. 🎭
