Genshin Impact Ripe for Trouble Quest Guide 2025

Genshin Impact's Natlan region continues to offer players engaging content in 2025, with the Ripe for Trouble world quest remaining one of the more interesting adventures in Tequemecan Valley. This quest combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and the unique Yumkasauri mechanics that have become a hallmark of the region. For travelers still making their way through Natlan's content or returning players looking to complete missed quests, this comprehensive guide will help you navigate this adventure.

How to Unlock Ripe For Trouble

The quest begins with obtaining a special item - the Green-Edged Paper Slip. This item can be found in the Scions of the Canopy area within Coatepec Mountain.

To reach it:

1. Teleport to the Statue of the Seven north of Scions of the Canopy

2. Head east toward the camp between the Statue and the Weapon Domain

3. Look for a wooden crate near the camp with the paper slip sitting on top

Once you have the paper slip, you'll need to head to the Flamegranate Tree Roots to start the quest properly.

Finding Poca and Starting the Quest

After obtaining the paper slip:

1. Teleport to the Weapon Domain in Tequemecan Valley

2. Head north toward the canyon with the large tree

3. You'll find Poca standing at the entrance to a cave near the waterfall

4. Speak with her to learn that Tisoc has gone missing inside the cave

5. Show her the Green-Edged Paper Slip and she'll ask you to investigate

Entering the Cavern and Finding Tisoc

Follow the quest marker down into the cavern. You'll need to:

1. Glide down the hole into the cavern

2. Activate the Teleport Waypoint at the bottom

3. Head down the nearby path toward the Flamegranate Roots

4. Look for Tisoc lying on the ground on one of the large tree roots

When you find Tisoc, you'll learn that the Mountain King Flamegranates aren't ripening properly - they're still green and blue without signs of maturing. This is where the quest title "Ripe for Trouble" comes from, as these special fruits are meant to be offered to the Mountain King and their failure to ripen represents a significant problem.

Exploring the Roots of the Flamegranate Tree

After speaking with Tisoc, you'll need to investigate deeper into the cavern to discover what's affecting the Flamegranate Tree. This section involves several puzzle elements using the Yumkasauri mechanics.

Breaking the First Solidified Magma

1. Head deeper into the cavern following the water path

2. You'll encounter some Yumkasauri and slimes - defeat the enemies

3. Locate the Solidified Magma blocking your path

4. Indwell a nearby Yumkasauri using the Spiritsconce

5. Use the Yumkasauri's Flamegranate Pectin ability to pick up a Flamegranate

6. Throw it at the Solidified Magma to break through

Navigating to the Lower Levels

The next section is more complex and requires careful navigation:

1. Continue forward until you find another wall of Solidified Magma

2. Indwell a Yumkasauri near the Ruin Guard

3. Use the switch to open the gate, but you'll be locked in

4. Break another wall using the Yumkasauri to escape

5. Activate the mechanism to create Coilgrass Sigils above the water

6. Use the Yumkasauri's grappling ability to cross the water safely

7. Locate and break the second Solidified Magma using two Flamegranates

The Lower Levels and Liquid Phlogiston

Once you reach the lower levels, you'll discover the root of the problem - blocked Liquid Phlogiston. To resolve this:

1. Navigate around the area filled with Liquid Phlogiston

2. Find a path to the right that leads deeper into the cavern

3. Use Coilgrass Sigils to cross streams of Liquid Phlogiston

4. Reach the back of a large Solidified Magma formation

5. Break it using the Yumkasauri and nearby Flamegranates

This triggers a cutscene showing the Liquid Phlogiston being released. However, the cave begins to flood with the substance, and you must escape quickly!

Escaping the Flooding Cave

Use the newly appeared Coilgrass Sigils to quickly escape the rising Liquid Phlogiston. The timing can be tight, but even if you don't make it on your first attempt, the game will still count it as a success and continue the quest.

After escaping, you'll have a final conversation with Tisoc, completing the main portion of the quest.

Additional Rewards and Achievement

Don't forget to return to Poca at the Mother Flamegranate Tree (north of the Weapon Domain) for additional rewards - she'll give you 20,000 Mora as thanks for your help.

Completing this quest also awards you the "For the Fairest" achievement under the Wonders of the World category.

Rewards for Completing Ripe For Trouble

• Primogems x40

• Mystic Enhancement Ore x3

• Mora x13,000 (plus 20,000 more from Poca)

• Hero's Wit x2

• Achievement: "For the Fairest"

The Ripe for Trouble quest showcases Genshin Impact's skill at combining environmental storytelling with unique regional mechanics. The quest may be challenging for some players due to the precision needed with the Yumkasauri controls, but the rewards and achievement make it well worth the effort.

Whether you're completing this quest as part of your Natlan exploration or just trying to collect all achievements in 2025, this guide should help you navigate the Flamegranate Tree Roots and solve the mystery of the unripened fruits.
