Genshin Impact gives you the chance to bond with Beidou through a Hangout Event. Here’s all the information you need to know on how to unlock this event, every important dialogue choice, how to get every ending, and how to pass Beidou’s quiz.

The Crux Shines Bright is Beidou’s Hangout Quest. This is Beidou’s first ever Hangout Event. It begins with the Traveler visiting Beidou on her ship to celebrate the prevention of the Vision Purge. Beidou offers you the chance to join the Crux.

As of Genshin Impact 2.3 update in November 24, 2021 players can now participate in Beidou’s Hangout Event

How to Unlock Crux Shines Bright

The Crux Shines Bright Hangout Event takes after the Traveler stopping the Vision Purge. So it’s required that you finish Chapter 2 Act 3 “Omnipresence Over Mortals” Archon Quest before you can even do this mission.

You need to be at least Adventurer Rank 30 and the Hangout Event requires two Story keys to unlock.

How to Acquire Story Keys

To acquire Story Keys, you need to do a total of eight Commissions to get one. You are limited to four Commissions per day so you would need a minimum of four days to get the two Story Keys required to unlock Beidou’s Hangout Event.

How to Start Beidou’s Hangout Event

You can access the hangout event by going to the event panel. You can start the Crux Shines Bright from there.

All Beidou Hangout Event Endings

The Crux Shines Bright has a total of five different endings. It all depends on what dialogue you choose and what you answer during Beidou’s quiz at the end. Here’s how to get the specific ending you’re looking for.

We’ve only listed important dialogue options that influence on what ending you’ll get. Any other dialogue choice has no bearings on the ending.

Ending 1 – Once Everything is Over

To get ending 1, you need to pick these important dialogue choices when they pop up.

1. A Special Guest – “Why would I? I’m quite interested in the life of a sailor.”
2. Sailor Training – “The Shield of the Crux.” or “The Spear of the Crux” Picking the latter will lead to a different route, but they both unlock the same ending.
3. A Little Test – You need to fail Beidou’s quiz. Don’t pick “Underestimating danger,” “To mark distances,” and “The presence of dark clouds and strong winds in opposite directions, plus white vortices in the clouds.”

This is the story path for “Once Everything is Over.”

• 1st Question – “What is the single biggest danger facing crew members?” Correct Answer – “Underestimating danger.”
• 2nd Question – “What is the purpose of the various colored lines in supplementary charts?” Correct Answer – “To mark distances.”
• 3rd Question – “How can we reliably predict waterspouts, so we can avoid them?” Correct Answer – “The presence of dark clouds and strong winds in opposite directions, plus white vortices in the clouds.”
