- To successfully complete the next puzzle, you need to engage with the contraption, which will trigger the appearance and motion of bear-shaped puppets. Among these puppets, one of them will emit a noticeable glow. After the puppets retreat back into their respective hats, your task is to strike the hat that conceals the bear with the glowing light. You’ll need to perform this action on both the left and right sides of the room.

Lyney Story Quest ACT I: In-Depth Review and Discussion
Lyney’s Characterization and Personality
Lyney has a long-awaited character along with Lynette back during the game launch when Genshin Impact released an amazing Travail trailer that briefly explains each Region’s future story theme and plot-tine while also showcasing upcoming playable characters in each region.
For Fontaine’s section, we were introduced to both Lyney and Lynette, the star twin magicians. As we finished the Archon Quest-line for Version 4.0 we finally can gauge what both the twins are like in terms of personality, backstory, and character dynamics.
Of course, the twins were spectacular in their own way, but Lyney has been a character that really stands out the most primarily due to his back-story and personality. His ties with the House of Hearth and his relationship with Arlecchino is a very interesting find, seeing as how he is shouldering the expectations of taking Arlecchino’s place in the House of Hearth. Nonetheless, he is no doubt a character shrouded in mystery, hiding his true personality and ideals through his fake charisma and charming magician tricks. Despite his flair and passion for magic, he still hides many secrets.
Overall Story Plot
In his Story Quest, Lyney opens up as a great magician who loves to wow the audience with his tricks. He learned all of his tricks from Cesar, the infamous magician who was wrongly accused of being the Phantom Weasel shortly after his not-so-unintentional death.
Lyney and Lynette both grew up partly learning the secrets of being a magician from Cesar himself and hence had a strong attachment towards him. This is why Lyney sets up the journey of investigating the true culprit of the identity of the Phantom Weasel, wanting to avenge his mentor and clear his name. This feels somewhat of a parallel to Navia’s whole story development back in the Archon Quests ACT I and ACT II.
Well, gather ’round for a tale of magic and mystery! Our protagonist, the enigmatic magician Lyney, is like a vault of secrets. He teases us with his knowledge, but oh, does he have a cunning plan! Picture this: Lyney discovers the true identity of the mischievous Phantom Weasel. But does he spill the beans right away? Oh, no! He decides to keep us hanging by a thread, just like a skilled illusionist would.
But wait, there’s more! To honor his late mentor, the legendary Cesar, Lyney sets out on a death-defying trick. It’s the very same trick that took Cesar’s life, mind you. Talk about living on the edge! Against all odds, Lyney performs the astonishing feat, leaving the audience mesmerized and in awe.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, cue the dramatic cutscene! The crowd is left breathless, their jaws on the floor. It’s pure magic, my friend!
So there you have it, a tale of bravery, secrets, and the power of showmanship. Truly, Lyney is one magician who knows how to leave us spellbound. Abracadabra!
With an extensive story quest that unfolds in multiple engaging parts, the thrilling investigation and enigma surrounding the true identity of the Phantom Weasel deliver a gameplay experience of nearly two exhilarating hours. Moreover, it unveils the captivating backstories of both Lynette and Lyney, revealing the hidden depths beneath Lyney’s charming facade and flirtatious demeanor.
