Genshin Impact Hesperides of Love and Hate World Quest Guide How to Unlock & Complete

What is Genshin Impact Hesperides of Love and Hate?

Genshin Impact Hesperides of Love and Hate is a Version 7.0 World Quest series in Fellfrost Peak, Snezhnaya. It was released with the Everwinter Without Mercy update on August 12, 2026. The chain is one of the three World Quest lines that each grant an Eye of Graeae fragment.

You have to collect all three fragments from Hesperides of Love and Hate, In the Dwelling of Life, and On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb, then you can continue Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard.

The items you are going to collect there are:

If you already like long story World Quests with offering systems and map unlocks, the same “follow the chain, do not skip the side beats” approach with Genshin Impact Frost Moon Quests. Hesperides is colder, more theatrical, and much more interested in whether a wedding is love, hate, or a ritual with a body count.

How to Unlock Hesperides of Love and Hate?

You cannot walk into the House of Hesperides on day one of 7.0 and expect the door to open. The Genshin Impact Hesperides of Love and Hate World Quest sits behind Archon progress and one easy-to-miss item.

You have to go through these steps first:

• Push Chapter VII Act I far enough that you can freely roam Snezhnaya. It ties invitation access to reaching Snezhnograd during Great Deeds on the Tundra. Finishing enough of Everwinter Without Mercy / Gunfire in the Silent Lands is a must before the big Snezhnaya World Quest chains unlock.
• Have the Eye of Graeae from the Archon Quest. Several community write-ups treat it as a hard must because the gadget reacts to power on Fellfrost Peak and later identifies fragments.
• Pick up the Invitation to the Ritual (also called the Invitation to the Wedding in some menus).

Once those are done, go south of Svetloledovka to the Fellfrost Peak Statue of the Seven. Crossing that snow field starts Through the Gates of Ivory, which is the real opening of Hesperides of Love and Hate.

Where to Find the Invitation to the Ritual

The invitation is the item players skip, then spend twenty minutes wondering why the mansion statue will not talk to them. There are three methods for this:

• Method 1 — Svetloledovka Station (cleanest): Teleport to the central Svetloledovka waypoint. Walk the direction you face on load-in, drop toward the mining camp, and inspect the glowing point on a wooden scaffold. There is also an envelope on a waiting-area seat inside the office west of the train station. Either interaction gives you the letter.
• Method 2 — Mesherskaya: If the scaffold is not glowing, talk to Mesherskaya southwest of the Svetloledovka waypoint near the bulletin board. She can hand the invitation over.
• Method 3 — Fellfrost Peak failsafe: Miss both town spots and go straight to Fellfrost Peak. Paimon finds the invitation nearby and the quest still unlocks. Do not rely on this if you want the journal entry and Eye of Graeae navigation to appear cleanly first.

After you have the letter, call the train from Central Station if you are still bouncing between Snezhnograd and Svetloledovka, then commit to the mountain.

Through the Gates of Ivory: Follow Ikhor to the House of Hesperides

A lamp sits in the whiteout and the mysterious blonde boy beside it is Ikhor. Talk to him and do not overthink the climb.

And thereafter:

1. Continue climbing the snowy mountain from the Fellfrost Peak Statue. A cave near the cliff can shortcut the ascent and also hosts For an Ice Mirror Fragment plus extra chests if you want them on the same trip.
2. Follow Ikhor toward the House of Hesperides. Defeat the Snegovik pack on the path or sprint past them. The fight drops an Exquisite Chest if you bother to clear it.
3. Knock, then submit the invitation at the statue to the right of the entrance. A Snegurochka lets you in. This is the moment the World Quest stops being a hike and becomes a mansion story.
4. Talk to Aglaya, move into the main hall, and play along with the “entertainment.” Sit on the marked sofa when the objective asks you to rest.
5. Follow the blue carpet upstairs to the chapel. Path is stairs, left, then right if the marker jitters.
6. Sit for the wedding. Pavlina, Grand Duchess of the Snegurochka, arrives. She turns on Ikhor. Aksinya interrupts with the Eye of Graeae, the scene collapses into a dream-break, and you wake with a new job: recover Ikhor’s fragments inside the estate.

That cutscene is the Genshin Impact Hesperides of Love and Hate summary in miniature. The House of Hesperides is not hosting a celebration. It is staging a ritual, and you are now the person holding the invitation that made the door open.

The Three Branches After the Chapel

When you wake, you can see that the journal splits. House of the Soulless and The Sun’s Gilded Apple can be done in either order. Procrustes’ Iron Bed will not finish until both fragments are in your inventory. Do not run back to the chapel early and wonder why the marker is dead.

So for each sub quests, these should be your reactions:

House of the Soulless Puzzle

This is the Hesperides of Love and Hate puzzle players clip and search for the most. Here you have to return to the waypoint by the mansion entrance. Go up the stairs on the left and take the left door. A Snegovik blocks the private room, so do not argue with him. Follow the marker outside, use the side stairs, and enter from the balcony.

Inside, investigate three objects:

• Bookcase
• Bed
• Vase

A cat sits by the vase. You have to rotate the vase to open the hidden door.

The secret room uses Prime Ice Constructs / temporary statue blueprints.

1. Grab the first temporary blueprint from the statue in the corner and refund any construct already sitting in the puzzle field.
2. Place statues so their shadows match the paintings on the wall. The working layout from current guides is one construct in the middle and one in the top-left. That opens a side chamber.
3. Take the new blueprint from the sword-bearing statue in that chamber.
4. Swap one of the earlier placements and put the last construct in the bottom-right slot so the shadows line up with every painting.

When the door yields, drop into the secret cellar and recover the fragment. There is usually a Precious or Remarkable Chest in this wing. Grab it before you leave. The closed elevator you passed on the way in is your next tool, not decoration.

The Sun’s Gilded Apple: Sneak the Garden

Now, exit toward that elevator and ride it down to the courtyard. Talk to Ladon, then treat the garden like a detection puzzle, not a combat room.

There are some rules that actually work here as:

• Red vision cones are fail states. Getting seen resets the sneak.
• Build ice cubes or other vision blockers when a Jack Frost is parked on the only lane.
• Move fountain first, then the stairs, then the tree.
• Climb the tree and take the fragment. A Luxurious Chest sits nearby. Take it. You already paid for the sneak.

The name is not flavor text. In the Hesperides of Love and Hate lore, the Greek Hesperides guarded Hera’s golden apples. Pavlina’s garden is the Snezhnayan rewrite of that orchard: pretty, fenced, and lethal if the keepers notice you. House of the Soulless pays about 30 Primogems. The Sun’s Gilded Apple pays about 30 Primogems plus Hero’s Wit. Finish both, then go back to the chapel.

Procrustes’ Iron Bed

In this sub quest, the title is another myth punch. Procrustes stretched or chopped guests until they fit his bed. Pavlina is doing the same thing to Ikhor: forcing a living person into the shape her ritual needs.

Speak with Ikhor in the chapel, and the cutscene turns ugly. Pavlina takes his power and leaves you with out-of-control Snegovik. Clear the room. That closes Procrustes’ Iron Bed and opens Bell Ringing at Dusk. Sportskeeda lists this segment’s payout around 40 Primogems, 33,000 Mora, 3 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 2 Hero’s Wit.

Bell Ringing at Dusk: Rumblebranch, Rumbletwigs, Pavlina

For the final sub quest, follow the blue carpet again. When a stair wants you upward, stop and cut through the opening on the right, then climb. An Expedition Returner blocks the lift. Fight it or you do not go up.

This is the moment a real Snezhnaya team stops being optional. Stellar Glimmer reactions, especially Stellar Swirl and Stellar Conduct, chew through the miniboss and the later Pavlina phase faster than a random overworld squad. If you pulled Odette in 7.0 Phase 1 and she is still half-built, park this fight, finish her kit using our Odette Build Guide, and come back.

A Cryo enabler who converts Superconduct and Cryo Swirl into Stellar reactions is exactly what this mountain wants. If the banner still has pity to fill, use Enjoygm as your practical move forUID-only crystals, then straight back onto the lift.

Rumblebranch route here is:

1. Ride the lift.
2. Interact with the lightning-charged Rumblebranch (the blue tree-like plant). It launches you up the cliff.
3. Follow the marker and pick up two Rumbletwigs. The parkour is the danger, not the enemies. Do not sprint off the ice shelf.
4. Turn the twigs in at the branch to punch through the cloud layer to the Cloudborne Altar.
5. Keep following the marker until Pavlina is standing in front of you.

How to Beat Pavlina

Pavlina is the Guardian of the Hesperides and the last objective in the Genshin Impact Hesperides of Love and Hate World Quest complete guide. To bet this guardian:

• Bring a Stellar Glimmer team. Beebom’s practical note is the right one: Stellar Glimmer reactions flatten her faster than raw Auto-attacking through Cryo resist.
• Watch her ritual bursts and do not stand in the ice fields she paints on the floor.
• Shield or interrupt when she winds the large slam. Odette, a shielder, or Alyosha’s off-field Electro plus healing all make the arena less greedy.
• After the kill, Aksinya returns the fragment. The journal closes. Ladder of Love pops if Bell Ringing at Dusk fully completes.

You now have one of three Eye of Graeae pieces. Do not delete the gadget or stash the fragment in a chest tab you never open. The follow-up World Quest Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard is waiting on the other two chains.

Full Rewards from the Genshin Impact Hesperides of Love and Hate World Quest

The total number of rewards you can have from this quest are as follows. Individual sub-quests also add their own smaller bags here on top of the running journal payout.

Conclusion

That is the Genshin Impact 7.0 Hesperides of Love and Hate World Quest Guide from the train-station envelope to the cloud altar. Unlock it with the Invitation to the Ritual, follow Ikhor through the Gates of Ivory, steal both fragments without letting Pavlina finish her fitting, and walk out of Fellfrost Peak with Ladder of Love and a piece of the Eye of Graeae.
