An Expected Plan is a new quest from the 4.2 update that you can access after completing The Chronicles of the Fontaine Research Institute. We've made it all the way from Lumidouce Harbor to the shipment's delivery point ourselves and will explain how to complete An Expected Plan and find Covault in Genshin Impact.
Contents of the guide: In this guide, we'll take you through a long journey full of combat and dialogues to reach the endpoint and complete the Expected Plan quest.
As we mentioned above, this quest will not take you much time, given that it is linear, and the game will constantly accompany you with markers. To get this quest, you'll need to visit Lumidouce Harbor to find and interact with an NPC whose name is "???". The main landmark will be her orange hair and a blue ribbon that is neatly tied in a bow under her neck. It is worth noting that to initiate interaction with this quest giver, you need to complete Fontaine Research Institute Chronicles; otherwise, she simply will not appear at the indicated place.
Interacting with the NPC near the container will trigger a cutscene in which you will hear several people talking. Once the conversation is over, move to below Lumidouce Harbor to continue the quest. The quest marker will lead you to the objective, so when you arrive at the location, you will again eavesdrop on the conversation, but this time not so successfully. Unfortunately, you'll be spotted, so you'll have to fight Chaussivert.
After defeating this character, another cutscene will begin, after which you will need to go to Chaussivert's ship. Simply follow the task marker to initiate another cutscene, after which your next task will be to find Covault.
You don't have to go far from your location to find Covault. The search for this character will be limited to a small area that will be marked with an orange circle on the mini-map. You can find it on your own, but if you'd like, use the hint that the Pitot merchant will give you. Luckily, Covault is not far from Pitot, if you go to the right of the counter and climb down from the ship to the ground, you will notice a Drunkard lying under a tree. Interact with the Drunkard and you will soon notice that it is Covault. You'll confront him for stealing all the money, and he'll try to defend himself, but this will trigger a battle in which Chaussivert will help you fight Covault.
After the fight, the whole team will return to the ship to interrogate Covault and find out where the drop point is. Drunkard will say that he will help you get to the right location, so the next task is to follow him. Follow the quest markers and Covault to get to the right place, but unfortunately, you will be ambushed by bandits who want to kill you. As it turns out, Covault lied, so you'll need to return to the ship to interrogate him yourself and find out where the real drop point is.
Once back on the ship, you'll start a mini-game where you'll have to interpret the clues to find out the correct answer. To save you a lot of time, use these instructions to complete the mini-game:
The next step is to follow the quest marker that will lead you to the real drop point. Once you arrive at the place, you will notice 2 couriers that you will need to follow. You will follow them for a few minutes until you reach the end point where you will need to fight them. After defeating the couriers, you can interrogate them, and then you'll have to follow the quest marker to find the shipment's delivery point. Eventually, you'll reach the right location, where there's a house, and the quest will end.
