Ah, Fontaine – the land of justice, intrigue, and mysteries that run as deep as its waters. In the year 2026, the Traveler's journey through this hydro-powered nation continues, and once again, players find themselves slipping into the role of detective. This time, the stakes feel personal. It's not just about proving an ally's innocence anymore; it's about unraveling a disappearance that has the whole Court of Fontaine holding its breath. The quest 'As Light Rain Falls' sets the stage, and honestly, it's one of those storylines that just grabs you and doesn't let go. You'll navigate through quests like 'Like the Faint Moonlight of Yesteryear' and 'The Truth, Lost With the Rain,' each piece adding a layer of melancholy and suspense before the dramatic courtroom finale, 'When All Return To The Waters.' The good news? While you'll be collecting clues and piecing together timelines, the trial itself has been streamlined – there's only one major minigame to tackle. Phew, right? It lets you focus more on the story, which is a welcome change of pace.

🕵️ How To Handle the Chief Justice's Questions

Alright, let's talk about facing the big man himself, Chief Justice Neuvillette. The trial kicks off, and he's got some... pointed claims. Your first major task is to refute them. To begin, you'll head to a location mentioned by the Melusine, Melus. It's up in the northern part of the Court of Fontaine – just use your quest tracker, it'll point the way. The next step? Get ready to get wet. You'll need to go underwater. As soon as you dive in, keep an eye out for a distinctly red-colored teleport waypoint. Activate it, and then venture deeper. You might even snag a Hydroculus along the way – always a nice bonus.

As you explore, you'll get these little flashes, glimpses of the trial proceedings happening back at the Opera Epiclese. It's a cool narrative device that makes you feel connected to both investigations at once. To start your counter-argument, you must first select 'Suspect Analysis.' This is where you pinpoint the culprit. You'll then engage in a minigame to systematically dismantle Neuvillette's logic. It's a battle of wits, and you need to be sharp!

🧩 Diving for the Truth: The Clue Hunt

After a tense cutscene, you're back as the Traveler, positioned near the infamous Sinthe headquarters. The atmosphere here is thick with secrets. Push forward, and you'll encounter an elevator guarded by some local troublemakers. Clear them out, and the elevator will ascend on its own. Follow your quest marker – it's your trusty guide – and it will lead you back underwater to a peculiar mechanism. This device is key; it raises the water level in the area.

With the water higher, you can now swim up to a previously inaccessible platform. More enemies await you there. Deal with them, and you'll find another identical mechanism in the room. Go ahead and raise the water level again. It's like solving a liquid puzzle!

Keep swimming upwards until you reach the highest platform. Follow the path, and prepare for a fight – two formidable foes block the way to the innermost sanctum. A little pro-tip: try to engage them both at once. Using area-of-effect attacks or grouping them together can make this duel much more manageable than taking them on one-by-one. Once they're defeated, the path to the heart of the mystery is clear.

Inside the sanctum, it's time to put your Perception skill to work. Activate it, and the room will light up with interactive points. You need to collect every single clue here. Don't miss any! The vital pieces of evidence are:

• Callas’ Investigation Report 📄

• Primordial Seawater Pool 💧

• The word “Sinthe” scrawled somewhere

• The Missing Person’s Possessions 🎒

• Vacher’s Experimental Records 🧪

• Vigneire’s Notebook 📓

Grab them all. This isn't the time to be selective. Once the last clue is in your hand, a familiar shimmer of light envelops you – you're teleported straight back to the Opera House, right into the heated climax of the trial.

⚖️ The Final Act: Presenting the Evidence

The pressure is on. There are no more minigames here, just the weight of your deductions. Neuvillette will press for conclusive evidence. When the moment comes to present a key item, your choice is critical. You must select 'Vigneire’s Notebook.' This single piece of evidence ties the whole tragic web together. Present it, and watch as the final threads of the case unravel, leading to a conclusion that is as satisfying as it is emotionally charged.

The trial ends. You leave the Opera House, but the story isn't over. A series of poignant cutscenes unfold, featuring Neuvillette, the mysterious Oceanid, the determined Navia, and the broken Marcel. It's a sequence that really makes you feel the consequences of Fontaine's justice. When the quest finally wraps up, your efforts are handsomely rewarded. Your inventory will be richer by:

Reward	Quantity
Primogems	x30
Memory of Running Stream	x1
Hero's Wit	x5
Adventure EXP	x1,325
Mora	x58,200
Mystic Enhancement Ore	x11

And just like that, another chapter in Fontaine closes. The rain might stop falling, but the memories and the truths uncovered in the depths will linger. It's a case that shows sometimes, the deepest secrets are hidden not in grand libraries, but in the silent, watery dark. The Traveler's detective work is done for now, but in Teyvat, another mystery is always just over the horizon...
