Genshin Impact players can now access one of the most anticipated features in the Luna III (6.2) update — the Witch’s Homework questline, which unlocks the powerful Hexerei: Secret Rite buffs for selected Mondstadt characters. These new mechanics strengthen older characters while introducing team-based synergy effects that activate when two or more Hexerei characters are used together.

The Witch’s Homework is available directly from the Events Overview menu, but players must complete a short story quest before they can unlock the individual character quests required to activate Secret Rite abilities. The update brings renewed attention to classic Mondstadt characters and hints at future expansions of the Hexerei feature.

How to Unlock the Witch’s Homework Quest

Unlocking Witch’s Homework is straightforward. Follow these steps to begin the main event quest:

  1. Open the Events Overview and select Witch’s Homework from the left panel.

  2. Tap Go to Quest to start Witch’s Homework: Solution.

  3. Travel to the Mondstadt Library and assist Lisa with organizing new book deliveries.

  4. Discover the Little Witch’s Dictionary, which triggers an appearance from Alice.

  5. Speak to Lisa again to complete the quest.

Once completed, the Witch’s Homework system unlocks, enabling players to begin character-specific homework challenges. Players can also invite one free character from Razor, Sucrose, or Fischl as a limited-time reward.

What Is the Hexerei: Secret Rite Buff?

The new Hexerei: Secret Rite buff system enhances power levels and adds fresh synergy to classic Mondstadt units. When two or more Hexerei characters are placed on the same team and have completed their homework quests, they activate special passive abilities.

The initial list includes seven Mondstadt characters and Durin, but future additions are expected. Buffs vary by character, improving individual strengths and creating new team strategies.

How to Unlock the Hexerei: Secret Rite Buff

Before unlocking a character’s Secret Rite ability, players must meet two key requirements:

  • Obtain the character

  • Level them to 70

After meeting both conditions, players can unlock the character’s specific homework quest:

  1. Open the Character Page and select the Hexerei character.

  2. Tap Talents and find the new locked Secret Rite talent.

  3. Select Go to Homework to open the Little Witch’s Dictionary.

  4. Choose the character and press Accept Quest.

  5. Complete the quest to activate their Secret Rite buff.
