Ah, Natlan—land of volcanoes, warrior tribes, and now, gardening? Leave it to Genshin Impact to turn pyro-infused horticulture into an adventure. Our dear Traveler recently discovered that babysitting a curious Saurian companion leads to the most unexpected quests. Picture this: you're exploring a barren wasteland when your scaly sidekick suddenly starts digging like it’s auditioning for a dragon version of The Secret Garden. Thus begins the Waiting For Seeds to Sprout quest—a fiery twist on farming simulators.

🔥 Step 1: Follow the Distracted Dino

To trigger this quest, head southeast of the Natlan Weapon Material Domain. Your Saurian will perk up like it’s smelled barbecue sauce—that’s your cue! Three suspicious dirt patches await excavation. Pro tip: bring popcorn. Watching your dino dig with the enthusiasm of a toddler in a sandbox is pure comedy gold.

🌱 Step 2: Fire Seed Planting 101

After unearthing a Smoldering Seed, the game suddenly becomes Stardew Valley: Pyro Edition. Planting it requires:

1. A dramatic planting animation (obviously)

2. Phlogiston juice—gathered from those glowy red Everflame Stones nearby.

Phlogiston Tips:

• Think of it as a spicy energy drink for plants

• If your red bar’s empty, hug the Everflame Stone like it’s your emotional support rock

⚔️ Step 3: Bug Squash Extravaganza

As soon as you power up the seed, pyro bugs swarm in like they’re late for a bonfire party. The combat sequence features:

Enemy	Annoyance Level	Recommended Strategy
Pyro Slimes	😑	Splash them with hydro (or your tears)
Eroding Lava Avatar	😠	Bring a shield and prayers

Halfway through, you’ll need to recharge the seed—a sneaky mechanic that turns gardening into a survival horror game. The Traveler may or may not have screamed "NOT THE BEES!" during this phase.

🌸 The Waiting Game

Here’s where Hoyoverse trolls us all—after surviving the insect apocalypse, you must… wait 24 real-life hours. Return tomorrow to find three Embercore Flowers sprouting like forbidden chili peppers. Pro tip: whack the closed buds with your sword. Nothing says "gardening" like weaponized flower care!

Embercore Uses:

• Forging Natlan’s answer to IKEA weapons

• Impressing Pyro Archon Murata with your green thumb

• Starting a floral arsonist side hustle

As the Traveler tends to their fiery garden, they can’t help but reflect: in a world of epic battles and godly conflicts, sometimes the real adventure is waiting for virtual plants to grow. The Saurian, now chewing on a flaming petal, seems to agree. After all, what’s more chaotic than combining dragons, fire, and farming? Only in Genshin Impact would someone call this "leisure time." 🔥🌿
