If there's one name in Liyue that strikes a chord with its people, it's Beidou, the uncrowned lord of the ocean and the infamous captain of the Crux fleet. Players rank 30 and above who have completed the Inazuma Archon quest, Omnipresence Over Mortals, can unlock Beidou's Hangout event from the Quest menu in exchange for two Story Keys.
At the start of the Hangout, you will receive an invitation to visit the Alcor in Guyun Stone Forest. Putting a portable waypoint on the ship is highly recommended, as you'll return to it multiple times throughout all endings.
End 1: Photography lesson for two
Once you and Beidou have some alone time to chat, respond with Why would I? In fact, I'm very interested in seafaring. Later, choose to train for The Shield of the Crux.
Listen to Yinxing, Huixing, and Xu Liushi tell you about their work, then return to Beidou, who will give you a test. Choose the following answers, in this specific order:
- Underestimate the danger.
- To mark distances.
- The presence of dark clouds and strong winds in opposite directions, as well as white swirls in the clouds.
Beidou invites you to join a compulsory photography class, only to find that the teacher has called in sick. So you become the de facto teacher instead. You are asked to choose a model, and everything you answer will default to Beidou. When choosing a location for filming, select I heard there is a fishing village near Wangshu Inn.
Follow the quest marker to Beidou's old hometown, where you'll learn a lot about his past. When the conversation comes back to photography, respond as you prefer. And when asked for your opinion on her pose, choose Maybe you can strike an epic pose.

Ending 2: Coquette
Head to the Hangout section of the quest menu, select Beidou's Hangout event, and start from the Snap dialog route! This will allow you to start from the conversation in his hometown instead of redoing the entire Hangout from the beginning.
This time, when asked for your opinion on Beidou's pose, choose the option Maybe you're going for something a little... flirtatious?
Ending 3: Once it's all over
For this event, you can start from two dialogue points. The sailor test will be different, but both will lead to the same end.
Option A: Start with a small test
You must intentionally answer all questions incorrectly, so choose any answer except the following:
- Underestimate the danger.
- To mark distances.
- The presence of dark clouds and strong winds in opposite directions, as well as white swirls in the clouds.

Option B: Start with sailor training
This time, choose the training option for The Spear of the Crux. This will trigger a Skirmish Boat Challenge which you must complete in 90 seconds. The Skirmish Boat works exactly the same as a Waverider. Your goal is to collect all 13 badges along the way.
Towards the end of the challenge, a wind current will appear. Jump off the boat and glide from the boat to the Alcor using Anemo Rings to complete the challenge.
Second half of the end 3
Whichever option you choose, Beidou will take you to Liyue Port, where you will follow her as she handles an underground transaction. The quest marker will guide you to the following people: Nei the Professional Fishmonger, Wai the Amateur Fishmonger, and Mr. Iron Abacus, the Warehouse Owner.
After, follow the quest marker to Guyun Stone Forest and change the time to the next day between 00:00 and 05:00. You can enjoy the rest of the Hangout as you see fit! Completing this ending will earn you the Achievement Guyun Buyers' Club.
Ending 4: Sakura Blooms on Guili Fell
To get this ending, you need to start at the very beginning of the Hangout. When the crew members leave you and Beidou alone, respond with Why would I? I should thank them for taking me to Inazuma. She then speaks to you in a quiet place, revealing that her fleet found a Liyue treasure map of an Inazuman shipwreck.
When she asks for your help deciphering the map, reply with I think it's Guili Plains, just very poorly drawn. From there, you head to the plains of Guili, where Beidou will intimidate treasurers who will eventually help you find the treasure. Follow the quest markers to guide you.
- First marker: break the three rocks with a Geo Attack.
- Second Marker: Defeat the Hilichurls and interact with the shiny Dig interaction.
The third quest marker doesn't tell you the exact location of the treasure, so refer to the image above - the correct Dig interaction is located at the top right of the quest marker.
You will find a check in the Northland Bank as well as a note containing a person's dying wish. You help Beidou return the check to its rightful owner.
Ending 5: Between us
Start from the private chat dialog route. This time, make a false speculation about the origins of the treasure map: I think it's Qingce village, just very badly drawn. You and Beidou head to Qingce Village, where you resolve some small disputes between villagers.
After getting between Changping and Defu, they agree to give you the chest they were fighting over and invite you to a banquet in the evening. Change the time anytime between 21:00 p.m. and 24:00 a.m. to attend the banquet with Beidou. You and the drunken captain then head to the waterwheel to open the treasure, only to find spoiled cabbages inside.
Completing ending 5 will unlock the Wine Unburdens achievement. Likewise, completing all five endings will earn you the Crux Honorary Member of Achievements.
