A strange note in Mondstadt hints at a hidden ritual called the Hexerei Secret Rite – a clue that draws travelers into the Witch’s Homework quest, where cryptic lessons and forgotten magic wait to be decoded.
To do that, you will need to unlock and complete the Witch’s Homework quest. Here is a quick guide on Genshin Impact Witch’s Homework quest so that you can easily unlock all the Hexerei Secret Rite buffs for your characters.
How to Unlock the Witch’s Homework
Unlock the Witch’s Homework by following a careful sequence of clues and completing the Hexerei Secret Rite in the right order, then gather the required artifacts and subdue the lingering puzzles to reveal the quest’s final reward.
To use the Witch’s Homework to unlock the Hexerei: Secret Rite buff, you first need to unlock it. Thankfully, unlocking the Witch’s Homework is very easy to unlock. Here is what you need to do:
- Open the Events Overview and select the Witch’s Homework from the left.
- Next, tap on Go to Quest to start the ‘Witch’s Homework: Solution’ quest.
- Now, head to the Mondstadt library and help Lisa by arranging the new supply of books.
- After doing it, you will find the Little Witch’s Dictionary, which will summon Alice.
- Finally, speak with Lisa again to complete the quest.
After you complete this quest, the Witch’s Homework for the Hexerei: Secret Rite buffs will be unlocked. Alongside that, you can now also invite one character between Razor, Sucrose, and Fischl for free.
What is the Hexerei: Secret Rite Buff
The Hexerei: Secret Rite buff is a temporary enhancement gained during the Witch’s Homework quest that strengthens elemental reactions and skill damage. It activates after completing specific incantations at the ritual site, ensuring your character’s abilities gain a mystical boost tied to the rite’s elemental theme. The buff’s strength and duration vary depending on how precisely the ritual is performed, rewarding careful timing and correct spell execution.
The Hexerei: Secret Rite buffs are the new mechanic implemented in Genshin Impact Luna III. This new mechanic buffs many of the old Genshin Impact characters from Mondstadt, while also introducing a new synergy effect. When at least two Hexerei characters are on one team, they unlock special abilities if they have completed their Witch’s Homework.
