Ever chased those elusive Local Legends in Natlan? The Nod-Krai Valiant Chronicle series—featuring Sigurd, Crab Tsar, and Raskolnikov—pops up via Katheryne once you've knocked out the World Quests on Lempo, Hiisi, and Paha Isles. We're talking 180 Primogems total (60 per legend), plus 7 medals to snag those slick avatar frames. It spans 18-20 quests: the 3-part East of the Moon, West of the Sun, the hefty 6-part Polkka Beneath the Moon's Oracle, and the Colors of Emptiness trilogy.
Hit up Katheryne after prereqs. Grind those Local Legends for 60 Primogems apiece. Redeem your 7 medals back at her.
Prerequisites: Gear Up Right
AR28 is your baseline. Nail Mondstadt Prologue Act 3 (unlock that Nasha Town waypoint). Then Song of the Welkin Moon hands you Aino, the 4-star Hydro Claymore who shreds Pyro and mechanical foes—stock Old Portable Bearings for those puzzles, by the way.
Push through Where the Moon Rises to bring Katheryne back online, unlocking Venture Towards the Moonlight, Daily Commissions, and Meeting Points (3 Hero's Wit + 21,500 Mora per quest).
- Wrap Mondstadt Act 3.
- Grab Aino from Welkin Moon.
- Hit Meeting Points via Where Moon Rises.
- Flip your Nod-Krai Handbook for Daily Commissions.
Builds? Electro crushes mechanicals' high phys resist. Geo owns Kuuvahki puzzles. Go diverse for Fatui and Abyssal nonsense.

Nod-Krai Valiant Chronicle 1: Raskolnikov Awaits
This one's a 3-parter: East of the Moon, West of the Sun (Tale-Telling Heart, Whisper Beneath the Waves). Start at the Kuuvahki elevator—chat NPCs, crack that container. Snag 4+ Lunoculus from the Eye of Kratti shipwreck and Beneath the Forsaken Sea.
Interact with the Kuuvahki elevator/NPCs/container.
It auto-triggers Tale-Telling Heart at Blue Amber Lake, leading to the Abandoned Workshop.
Hunt those 4+ Lunoculus for Whisper Beneath the Waves.
Cap it with The Shoemaker's Children Go Barefoot—60 Primogems, done.
Nod-Krai Valiant Chronicle 2: Crab Tsar Time
Six parts here: Polkka Beneath the Moon's Oracle (The Mirrors, the Maze, and the Tsar). Kick off from Kasha Frostmoon to Pakani beach. Auto-starts For a Green Island at Thunderclap Reef (hello, Luxurious Chest).
Head Kasha Frostmoon → Pakani beach.
Trigger For a Green Island at Thunderclap Reef.
Power through The Mirrors, the Maze, and the Tsar.
Tackle Echoes of an Unfinished Past and Gift of the Mirage (Verna/fragments/pillars/moonlanes/T-key → Court of First Edict → hovering sword → Moonweaver's Dawn)—nets 50 Primogems, 5 Hero's Wit, 450 Adventure EXP, 50k Mora, 4 Mystic Enhancement Ore.
Claim Crab Tsar at Katheryne: another 60 Primogems.
Post-quests, recharge via genshin world quest completion top up on BitTopup—lowest rates, 24/7 secure transactions, broad payments, 99% satisfaction, fast Primogem boosts. Why scramble when you can top up smooth?
Nod-Krai Valiant Chronicle 3 (and More): Sigurd's Call
The Bell of Mourning Echoes unlocks Sigurd. Hunt 3 relics: Undying One's Mourning Bell (west of Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop), Horn Unwinded (NW Starsand Shoal), Dyed Tassel (west Barrowmoss Barrens). Scale those boxes in Priorities First for the ID card. Colors of Emptiness? Smash the container in Nothing Passage (Crimson Cleansing), grab the blue orb in Blues of the Old World.
- Undying One's Mourning Bell, west Clink-Clank.
- Horn Unwinded, NW Starsand Shoal.
- Dyed Tassel, west Barrowmoss Barrens.
- Finish The Bell of Mourning Echoes—60 Primogems.
Optimal route: Kuuvahki → Blue Amber Lake → Frostmoon. Activate waypoints early—trust me.
Dodge Those Missable Rewards—like Your Life Depends On It
293+ chests and relics gatekeep progress. Luna Compass Lv3 skips stuff if you're too quick. Common traps? Skip Sigurd relics (blocks Legend entry). Miss Echoes prereqs, chain locks. Blow past Venture Towards Moonlight, kiss Dailies and Meeting Points goodbye.
Checklist:
- Grab 3 Sigurd relics before Bell of Mourning Echoes.
- Do Tale of the Gate Stone pre-Polkka finale.
- Climb boxes in Priorities First for ID card.
- Hold off Luna Compass Lv3 till Meeting Point Lv5.
Recovery? Loop back post-Venture Towards Moonlight for Luxurious Chests. (Editor note: I've soft-locked myself here twice—checklist saves sanity.)
