The nation of justice in Genshin Impact takes its role very seriously, as you will quickly find yourself in the middle of the courtroom twice within the first few parts of the Archon quest. One of these trials is related to a character named Marcel as Navia tries to prove the innocence of Tartaglia (Childe), so you will be playing as her attempting to win the trial against Marcel.

All answers for Marcel’s trial in Genshin Impact

There are three district parts to Marcel’s trial in Genshin with unique answers you need to deliver in each of them to win the trial. This trial is nowhere near as complex as the one against Furina, so you should have a much easier time tackling this one.

The first task in winning this trial will be to shift the accusation from Tartaglia (Childe) to Marcel which can be done by answering the following question:

  • Who is the true culprit behind the serial disappearances of young women case?

You’ll be presented with many options after Neuvillette asks you this question, but to place the focus on Marcel as desired you need to choose:

After this, you’ll need to navigate through a series of lengthy cutscenes until you switch from Navia to the Traveler and Paimon. You’ll have to proceed through the entire Sinthe Headquarters Domain they are at before you can return to win the trial against Marcel.

Vacher identity evidence answer in Genshin Impact

Once the Traveler returns, they’ll get a rare moment of actual dialogue where they need to answer the question:

  • Which evidence reveals the true identity of Vacher?

The correct evidence to submit is:

  • Vigneire’s Notebook

Once you select this option, the Traveler will reveal that Marcel was Varcher all along. Paimon will then take over explaining how you came to this conclusion before you will then proceed through many more cutscenes, but after you have delivered Vigneire’s Notebook you have officially claimed victory in the trial against Marcel.
