Genshin Impact: You Probably Completed This Heart-Pounding Mission The Wrong Way

As seen in a newly shared fan discovery, players have been completing one of ’s most heart-pounding and tense missions in the wrong way.

Of course, the Lyre is then stolen by a Fatui Electro Cicin Mage.

For reference, this is the mission the Traveler is assigned with stealing the Holy Lyre der Himmel to then use its power to restore Dvalin to its regular self after Venti’s plan of asking for it to be lent to him does not work.

The fact that players can
