In the scorching wilds of Natlan, a seismic wave of sorrow crashed through the Genshin Impact community as players faced the inevitable: saying goodbye to Little One, the beloved Tepetlisaur Whelp companion who had burrowed into their hearts like a persistent lava geode since version 5.0. This scaly sidekick wasn't just a pixelated pet; it was an emotional anchor through 56 gut-wrenching quests and brain-melting puzzles, culminating in the devastatingly titled finale—Someday, We All Must Walk Alone. As travelers stood beneath the waterfall at Tepeacac Rise, ready to bid farewell, the air thickened with the weight of a thousand unshed tears, making this quest unlock feel as elusive as a desert mirage in a sandstorm.

The Monumental Path to Unlocking Heartbreak

To even glimpse this soul-crushing quest, players must first conquer a gauntlet that would make a Cryo Regisvine shiver:

  • 56 Quest Behemoths: Including Archon Quests where Little One chirped wisdom, World Quests where it solved ancient riddles, and sub-quests where it nuzzled NPCs like a scaly therapist. Missing one? Better scour Natlan like a treasure hoarder on caffeine!

  • 3 Puzzles of Agony: Each more intricate than a spider’s web at dawn, demanding Saurian transformations and elemental gymnastics.

People Also Ask: "How many hours does it take to unlock this quest?" Prepare for 40+ hours—unless your memory is sharper than a Primordial Jade Cutter.

Puzzle 1: Urubamba’s Whelp Wrangle

Northeast of the "Collective of Plent," the warrior Urubamba awaits, his challenge dangling like a ripe Sunsettia just out of reach. But first! Players must rescue eight Tatankasaur Whelps scattered across five locations, each guarded by mini-puzzles simpler than a Hilichurl’s dance yet maddeningly easy to overlook. Imagine herding pyro slimes in a rainstorm—that’s the vibe. After reuniting the whelps, brace for the "I Am Speed" achievement sprint up his podium. Fail? Repeat until your thumbs blister.

People Also Ask: "Where exactly is Urubamba?" Edge of Collective of Plent, sulking like a jilted Ruin Guard.

Puzzle 2: Flower-Feather’s Kamera Conundrum

On a cliff northeast of "Flower-Feather Clan," transform into an Iktomisaur—a process as graceful as a Geovishap doing ballet—and blast glowing rocks with its skill. Then, place Saurus Crackers on a plate (yes, seriously) before investigating a Kamera. Snap the perfect shot to earn a Precious Chest. This isn’t photography; it’s elemental espionage with the stakes of a 5-star pull.

Puzzle 3: Sea of Shifting Sentience’s Dragon Idol

Teleport southeast in this zone, indwell a Tatankasaurus (because why walk when you can smash?), and pulverize Pulverites behind a gate. Next, infuse Phlogiston into a device—a task as precise as threading a needle during an earthquake—to make a Secret Source Servant yeet a barrier. Follow it upstairs, click ‘Start,’ and watch the mechanism awaken the Secret Source Dragon Idol. Boom! Chest spawned.

The Gut-Punch Finale

After this odyssey, Someday, We All Must Walk Alone appears in the Quest Menu like a ghost from the past. Teleport to Tepeacac Rise, trek west to the Rest Area Entrance waterfall, and enter a hidden domain—a place as hauntingly beautiful as Celestia’s loneliest cloud. Here, Paimon flutters nervously as players snap a final photo with Little One. The achievement "Then You Will Be Free to..." unlocks, but freedom tastes like ashes. This farewell echoed like the last note of a symphony in an empty concert hall, leaving travelers to wander Natlan’s ember-strewn paths alone, forever glancing back for a tiny, scaly shadow that would never follow again.

In the end, Little One’s journey wasn’t just about puzzles or primos; it was Genshin Impact’s masterclass in making pixels weep. And as the domain faded, players realized the hardest quest wasn’t unlocking the goodbye—it was learning to walk without it.
