They require the Traveler's help in tending to nurseries, collecting memories, and participating in important events like the Utsava Festival.

In the story, Aranakula often request the Traveler's help in restoring damaged natural environments or resolving dilemmas faced by other Aranara. Their questline is an essential part of Genshin Impact's Sumeru region, offering many heartwarming and touching moments for players.
