Genshin Impact: Barbara Hangout Guide

Genshin Impact’s recent patch has implemented a system that made it possible for players to hang out with their favorite characters. As of now, the characters you’re able to hang out with are Barbara, Noelle, Chongyun, and Bennett. This guide focuses on Barbara’s hangout event and the different endings you can get.

How to Unlock Barbara’s Hangout in Genshin Impact

To unlock the hangout events in Genshin Impact, you’ll have to meet two prerequisites:

• Reaching Prologue: Act III
• 2 Story Keys

Story keys can be claimed by doing 8 daily commissions. Meanwhile, Prologue: Act III can be reached by advancing the game’s story.

After reaching the prerequisites of the event, it’s time to unlock it. Head over to the Quest Tab and click Story Quest at the bottom left of the screen. After doing so, you’ll be met with this:

As you can see, these are the four characters you’re able to choose from. For this guide, I’m going to focus solely on Barbara.

Genshin Impact Barbara Hangout Endings

During the event, the character will appear right in front of you and a bunch of dialogue options will show up. Choosing the right dialogues will progress the event while choosing the wrong ones may result in the character losing hearts. If a character’s heart drops too low, there’s a chance they’ll leave you and the event will stop. Now, without further ado, here are Barbara’s endings and how to reach them!

Untimely Enthusiasm

This is the first ending I got and it’s probably one of the worst ones. This ending involves Albert, the leader of the Barbara Fan Club, searching for Barbara in Wolvendom and refusing to be swayed by the words of the Traveler. Here’s how I got the ending:

• 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?

Incompletely Cured

This ending involves a Treasure Hoarder in need of healing and the Traveler refusing to help him, which sours the way Barbara views the Traveler. Here’s how I got it:

• 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

Taste of Hard Work

This one is probably the best ending out of the five. In this ending, you’ll learn more about Barbara’s views and how hard she actually works for the church.

• 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

A Holiday in Mondstadt

This ending focuses on Barbara’s popularity and how she always had trouble saying no to people.

• 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 choosing this dialogue option, you’ll be met with a Barbara surrounded by a small crowd in front of Cat’s tail and it’s your duty to persuade those people to leave her alone. There are three people you need to talk to and here are the best dialogue options for them:

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.

Once that’s over, it’s back to hanging out with Barbara:

• They came to their senses once I’d given them the lowdown
• That sudden crown back there in the city… you must be exhausted.

A Fiery Flavor from Liyue

This ending is much more action-oriented as it involves you and Barbara saving a merchant from Liyue from a group of Treasure Hoarders.

• 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*

And that’s about it! Keep in mind that these aren’t the only way to reach the endings. These are just the dialogue choices I went for. I also found out that some of the dialogue choices don’t really change the ending you’re going for. Only a handful of them do, but they sway it big time.

With all of that being said, I hope you had a great time hanging out with Barbara! Just don’t tell Albert, I’m pretty sure he’ll get super jealous.
