If Silence Alone Is Disfavored is not starting in Genshin Impact, the quest is usually not permanently locked.
This is the final quest of Chapter VII: Act I – Everwinter Without Mercy, and it begins after completing Great Deeds on the Tundra.
However, finishing the previous quest does not immediately send you to the next location. The first objective requires you to wait until the following day at 08:00.
If the quest appears locked or you cannot figure out how to continue Chapter VII, here is what to check.
How to Unlock Silence Alone Is Disfavored
To start Silence Alone Is Disfavored, you first need to progress through the previous Chapter VII quests and complete:
Great Deeds on the Tundra
Once that quest is finished, Silence Alone Is Disfavored becomes the next part of the Archon Quest.
The first objective is:
Rest until the following day (08:00)
So if nothing seems to happen immediately after completing the previous quest, check the in-game time.
Why Is Silence Alone Is Disfavored Not Starting?
The most likely reasons are:
- You have not finished Great Deeds on the Tundra
- You have not advanced the in-game clock to the required time
- The new Archon Quest is not currently being tracked
- You are looking for the next objective in the wrong location
- Another active quest may be interfering with a required NPC or location
Start by opening your Quest menu and checking whether Silence Alone Is Disfavored appears under your Archon Quests.
What Time Does Silence Alone Is Disfavored Start?
The first objective asks you to wait until:
The following day at 08:00
Open the Paimon Menu and use the in-game clock to advance time.
Set it to approximately 08:00 on the following day.
Once the required time is reached, the quest should direct you toward the next objective.
Where Do You Go After Waiting Until 08:00?
After waiting until the following day, your next major destination is the:
Korolevskiy Theater
Track Silence Alone Is Disfavored and follow the Archon Quest marker.
The quest then takes you through the theater entrance and into the next part of the story.
Why Isn’t the Korolevskiy Theater Objective Appearing?
If the game does not tell you to go to the Korolevskiy Theater, first make sure the required waiting objective has actually completed.
Open your Quest menu and confirm that:
- Great Deeds on the Tundra is finished.
- Silence Alone Is Disfavored is active.
- You advanced time to the following day.
- The clock reached the required morning period.
- The quest is being tracked.
If the objective updates correctly, the quest marker should guide you toward the theater.
Do You Need to Complete Great Deeds on the Tundra First?
Yes.
Silence Alone Is Disfavored comes directly after Great Deeds on the Tundra in the Chapter VII: Act I quest chain.
If Great Deeds on the Tundra is still active, continue that quest first.
Do not try to trigger Silence Alone Is Disfavored separately somewhere in Snezhnaya.
It is part of the normal Archon Quest progression.
Why Is Chapter VII Still Locked?
If you searched for something like “Why is Chapter VII still locked?”, check exactly which part of Chapter VII you have completed.
The beginning of the Snezhnaya Archon Quest and Silence Alone Is Disfavored are not the same unlock step.
Silence Alone Is Disfavored appears near the end of Everwinter Without Mercy, so you must progress through the earlier quests in Act I first.
If you are already at Great Deeds on the Tundra, finish that quest and then check the in-game time requirement.
Is Silence Alone Is Disfavored the Last Quest in Everwinter Without Mercy?
Yes.
Silence Alone Is Disfavored is the final quest in Chapter VII: Act I – Everwinter Without Mercy.
Its progression includes:
- Waiting until the following day
- Going to the Korolevskiy Theater
- Entering and watching the theater performance
- Following Alyosha to the greenroom
- Going to Podvorye Restaurant
- Waiting another two days
- Heading to the Snezhnograd Veche
- Continuing the investigation
Completing the quest concludes Act I and leads into the next part of the Snezhnaya Archon Quest storyline.
What Happens at the Korolevskiy Theater?
After arriving at the theater, you will need to pass the checks and enter.
The quest then asks you to watch the performance and follow Alyosha to the greenroom.
This section eventually introduces another important part of the investigation involving Rokot.
There is no special hidden entrance you need to discover to start the quest.
Follow the active Archon Quest marker once the waiting requirement is complete.
Does the Rokot Questionnaire Affect the Quest?
During Silence Alone Is Disfavored, you will encounter a questionnaire connected to Rokot.
If you are worried about choosing a wrong answer and blocking progression, you do not need to search for a perfect combination.
The available answers do not change the main quest outcome, so choose whichever responses you prefer.
Why Does the Quest Ask Me to Wait Two Days Later?
There are actually two different waiting objectives during Silence Alone Is Disfavored.
At the beginning, you must:
Rest until the following day (08:00)
Later in the quest, after returning to your room and reviewing the information you gathered, another objective asks you to:
Wait until two days later (08:00)
These are separate quest steps.
So if the quest appears to stop again later, check whether you have reached the second time-gated objective.
Silence Alone Is Disfavored Still Won’t Continue
If you have met the requirements but the quest still does not update:
- Open the Quest menu.
- Select Silence Alone Is Disfavored.
- Make sure the quest is actively tracked.
- Read the exact current objective.
- Advance the in-game clock if a waiting objective is active.
- Follow the Archon Quest marker.
- Check whether another quest is occupying a required NPC or location.
- Leave Co-Op Mode if necessary.
- Restart the game if the expected objective still does not appear.
Do not repeatedly change the clock unless the quest specifically asks you to wait.
First identify the exact objective that is currently incomplete.
Does Silence Alone Is Disfavored Unlock Anything?
Progressing through Silence Alone Is Disfavored is also important for Snezhnaya exploration.
Version 7.0’s Tidesong Cavern and Korolevskiy Theater Meeting Points require progression through this quest before they can be unlocked.
So if those Meeting Points are unavailable, your Archon Quest progress may be the reason.
Quick Summary
If Silence Alone Is Disfavored is not starting:
- Finish Great Deeds on the Tundra.
- Check your Archon Quest menu.
- Track Silence Alone Is Disfavored.
- Advance the in-game clock to the following day at 08:00.
- Follow the new objective to the Korolevskiy Theater.
If the quest stops again later, remember that there is a second time requirement that asks you to wait until two days later at 08:00.
You do not need to find a hidden NPC or manually trigger the quest somewhere in Snezhnaya. It progresses directly from the previous Chapter VII Archon Quest.
