In the Archon Quest Chapter IV: Act IV - Cataclysm's Quickening, The Truth Shrouded in Shadow, you and Lyney must confront Wriothesley to find out what he knows of Childe's disappearance and your infiltration of the Fortress of Meropide. He will interrogate you about the truths behind the three "hidden rules" within the prison, and you must answer them by presenting clues related to each question.
All answers to Wriothesley's interrogation in Cataclysm's Quickening Archon Quest – Genshin Impact
During the interrogation, you will be presented with three premises (but only two will require answers), representing the three "hidden rules" within the Fortress of Meropide. You will then be asked four questions for each "hidden rule," and you must present the clues that answer each question to complete the logic chain and uncover the truths behind them. With that said, it's important to present the clues in the exact order shown below.
"Hidden rule" of the production zone
Wriothesley's first question is as follows: "Regarding the 'hidden rule' of the production zone... What is the truth behind the one about not being allowed to work for three days in a row?"
Pay attention to the top of the screen, where the sub-question will change every time you select a final answer. Since the clues aren't labeled, reference the image above and submit the correct answers based on the labels I placed on the icons.
