🔑 How to Unlock the Event

Before setting off, players must meet two prerequisites:

  • Reach Prologue: Act III in the main story

  • Own 2 Story Keys, earned by completing 8 daily commissions per key

Once unlocked, the quest can be started from the Quest Tab under “Story Quests.” Choosing the right dialogue options will deepen Barbara’s hearts, while a wrong move may cause her to leave early — so tread carefully!


🌟 All 5 Endings & Dialogue Paths

Each ending reveals a different side of Barbara, from her compassion to her struggles with fame. Below are the decision trees that lead to each conclusion.

1. The Overzealous Fan

This ending focuses on Albert, the leader of the Barbara Fan Club, who stubbornly searches for Barbara in Wolvendom. Despite the Traveler’s efforts, Albert refuses to back down, and Barbara is left feeling awkward and pressured.

Key dialogue sequence:

  • Just wait here, We’ll send that person away

  • Oh, so you picked all the berries

  • Barbara isn’t here anymore

  • You’ve picked all the berries

  • I was focused on clearing monsters

  • Barbara, are you there?

Tip: Choosing to dismiss Albert early sets the stage for this bittersweet finale.

2. The Untrusting Treasure Hoarder

When a wounded Treasure Hoarder asks for help, the Traveler’s suspicion takes over. Refusing to trust the man sours Barbara’s view, and the encounter ends with both her and the Traveler walking away disappointed.

Key dialogue sequence:

  • Let’s go deeper into the forest and wait for them to leave

  • What made you decide to join the church?

  • We can go look together

  • Leave it to us!

  • Chilibrew

  • I think it’d be better if we stick together

  • Piece of cake

  • You’re dressed a bit like a treasure hoarder

  • Hold on, Barbara. He’s a suspicious character

💔 This path highlights how a lack of trust can instantly turn a hopeful moment cold.

3. A Taste of Hard Work

Widely regarded as the best ending, this route allows Travelers to learn about Barbara’s unwavering dedication. She opens up about why she joined the church, her creative use of spicy Chilibrew to keep her voice strong, and the hidden weight of her responsibilities.

Key dialogue sequence:

  • Let’s go deeper into the forest and wait for them to leave

  • What made you decide to join the church?

  • We can go look together

  • Leave it to us!

  • Chilibrew

  • I think it’d be better if we stick together

  • Piece of cake

  • Springvale’s quite a distance away

  • No problem

  • I’ll go with you

  • No sudden moves

  • And if I hadn’t been there?

  • So what got you into Chilibrew?

  • And that didn’t… Affect your voice?

  • Sounds like this bottle of Chilibrew is a reflection of your determination

🎤 This ending perfectly captures Barbara’s earnestness — a must-play for any fan of her character.

4. The Burden of Fame

Barbara’s popularity often leaves her unable to say “no.” This ending kicks off when the Traveler helps her navigate a crowd of admirers in Mondstadt, then later discusses the exhaustion that comes with constant attention.

Key dialogue sequence:

  • Just wait here, We’ll send that person away

  • Hold on, what’s the Barbara Fan Club?

  • Wolvendom is a large area, it would be difficult to cover it alone

  • There might be some other areas where Wolfhooks grow that you haven’t heard about, perhaps Barbara went somewhere else?

  • But do you still hear her now?

  • Leave it to us

  • Fantastic Summer-Serendipity Coral Sparkling Tea does sound pretty amazing

After triggering the crowd scene, speak with:

  • Herman: “You won’t mind if I check in with Ellin on that?”

  • Schulz: “Barbara’s working right now, please don’t disturb her.”

  • Susie: “If it’s Barbara’s style you’re after, you could start by being considerate to others.”

Finally, choose:

  • They came to their senses once I’d given them the lowdown

  • That sudden crowd back there in the city… you must be exhausted

🙌 This sequence shows a rarely seen side of Barbara — overwhelmed but ever gracious.

5. A Daring Rescue in Liyue

For players craving action, this ending sends the Traveler and Barbara to rescue a Liyue merchant from a gang of Treasure Hoarders. Quick thinking and a bit of direct intervention save the day — though a fiery sip of Liyue Chilibrew leads to a comedic coughing fit.

Key dialogue sequence:

  • Just wait here, We’ll send that person away

  • Hold on, what’s the Barbara Fan Club?

  • Wolvendom is a large area, it would be difficult to cover it alone

  • There might be some other areas where Wolfhooks grow that you haven’t heard about, perhaps Barbara went somewhere else?

  • But do you still hear her now?

  • Leave it to us

  • Chilibrew

  • Alright, let’s split up

  • I’m a little worried

  • We thought something might have happened, so we came looking for you

  • That was risky, what if you’d been discovered?

  • Say no more, I’m sure these Treasure Hoarders will respond well to a little “direct intervention.”

  • Liyue Chilibrew

  • coughing
