Genshin Impact Special Friend quest guide

There's a Yumkasaurus and an alpaca at the top of the statue. Get close to them to start the quest. The first thing you must do is fight the angry Yumkasaurus, but it's an easy task! The Yumkasaurus only wants to protect its friend. Next, talk to all of the alpacas around.

It seems like the other alpacas don't want to be friends with our little Saurian companion. Too bad! After you finish talking, your little friend Tepetlisaurus finds an alpaca that cannot reach the top of the hill. You have to find a wooden plank to help the alpaca. This is located right next to you. After that, they became friends!
