Johnny Yu (he/him) is a guides writer at Polygon. He has written about games such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo 4, and Fire Emblem Engage.

As you explore Twinning Isle in Genshin Impact, you’ll come across a theater troupe of raven statues that performs all over the island. You’ll direct the actors over five acts, and the play’s success is in your hands. Listen to the narrator to know which actor to bring on, or follow our “Drama Phantasmagoria: Tale of the Sword-Wielding Princess!” guide to have a wonderful showing.

You must complete Fischl’s questline, “Immernachtreich Apokalypse”, in the “Summertime Odyssey” event to start the “Drama Phantasmagoria” story quest.

Drama Phantasmagoria Prologue

First Half

Interact with the notice board to start the first half of the prologue. After the narrator gives their lines, a raven statue will spawn in the aisle. Help the actor onto the stage by placing them in the spotlight.
