How to get all 5 Barbara Hangout Event endings in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact is all about friendship. You can add playable characters to your roster through a gacha system, so you can use them in combat later. If combat isn’t quite your speed, the version 1.4 update allows you to hang out with certain four-star characters. You can finally forge an actual friendship between you and the anime character of your choice.

One of the new hang sessions is with the church’s resident idol figure, Barbara. You can finally hang out with Barbara in-game and interrogate yourself with tough questions like “Is Barbara technically a Christian songwriter?” If you get an answer to that will depend on the ending you receive. Barbar’s hangout event has five endings to unlock. These are defined by the choices you make while spending time with Barbara.

Here’s exactly how you can acquire every Barbara Hangout ending.

How to unlock the Genshin Impact Barbara Hangout Event

If you want to play the Barbara Hangout Event, you’ll have to put in some work to unlock it. You’ll need to do is reach Adventure Rank 26 and complete the Archon Quest titled “Prologue: Act III - Song of the Dragon and Freedom.”

You’ll then be able to find the Barbara Hangout Event on your quests page.

You’ll also need two Story Keys to unlock it. You can earn story keys by completing your daily commissions. Four daily commissions can be completed every day. You’ll need to finish eight to unlock a single Story Key.

Once you’ve done all that, you can play the Barbara Hangout Event.

How to unlock Genshin Impact Hangout Event alternate endings

Like with most games, unlocking alternate endings requires active choices on your end to obtain the ideal conclusion. Endings in Genshin Impact Hangout Events are determined by dialogue choices you make throughout the hang sesh.

If you want to unlock a new ending, make sure to follow the very specific dialogue choices. Your choices will prompt characters to do different things.

It should also be noted that many endings share scenes, so it might be prudent to replay a Hangout Event starting from a specific choice. You can do this by highlighting a choice on your in-game Hangout Event flowchart. This will allow you to avoid seeing the same scenes.
