Genshin Impact 3.4 events

In addition to login rewards, the new Desert of Hadramaveth area, Alhaitham's Story Quest, new World Quests, new boss, a Genius Invokation TCG mode, Overflowing Mastery with double drops for Talent materials, and costumes for Lisa and Ayaka, we're getting four limited-time events during the 3.4 update to Genshin Impact.

Remember to check your mailbox starting 19th January for free rewards during the 'May Fortune Find You' login event, and during another login event starting 5th February called 'Iridescent Splendor'.

Here's everything you need to know about the events and their rewards in version 3.4:

Genshin Impact Lantern Rite Festival 2023 event

You can find the full rewards and challenge details in our 2023 Lantern Rite page.

Lantern Rite (the Exquisite Night Chimes) starts on Thursday, 19th January and ends on Monday, 6th January. You need to be at least Adventure Rank 28 and and have completed the Chapter 1, Act 3 'A New Star Approaches' Archon Quest in order to take part.

It's also recommended to complete the Act 1 Archon Interlude Chapter 'The Crane Returns on the Wind' and Yelan's Story Quest 'Umbrabilis Orchis Chapter: Act 1' to fully follow the story. If you haven't completed these quests, you can still take part by selecting 'Quick Start' from the main events menu.

In 2023's Lantern Rite, the story of Exquisite Night Chimes focuses on experiencing the festival and listening to stories with Ganyu.

As for the activities themselves, we've got four to experience during the latest Lantern Rite Festival:

  • Paper Theatre
  • Radiant Sparks
  • Vigilance at Sea
  • Behind the Scenes

Taking part in each of these activities will reward Festive Fever, which can then be used to get any of the nine 4-Star Liyue characters for free - including new character Yaoyao. If you pick a character you already have, you'll get their Stella Fortuna instead.

Paper Theatre is a 2D minigame where you must move objects to change the actors' paths to complete challenges.

We've got all the correct placements in our Paper Theatre puzzle solutuons page!

Radiant Sparks is a parkour minigame where you can race to collect gold coins, but this time there's firework buffs to take advantage of to help you navigate the course in style.

Vigilance at Sea is a sailing challenge where you need to collect Challenge Coins in Liyue's high waters. There are additional obstacles and puzzles to solve this time round, and it can be played solo or in co-op.

Behind the Scenes is a combat challenge instead, and it looks like a basic 'kill all enemies' affair.

All the rewards you can earn from the 2023 Lantern Rite event include:

  • A free 4-Star Liyue character
  • Primogems
  • Mora
  • Crown of Insight
  • Character Ascension Materials
  • Character EXP Materials
  • Talent level up materials
  • Mystic Enhancement Ore

Genshin Impact Second Blooming event

Second Blooming starts on Thursday, 31st January and ends on Monday, 13th February. You need to be at least Adventure Rank 20 and have completed the Prologue Act 3 Archon Quest 'Song of the Dragon and Freedom' and Lisa's Story Quest 'Tempus Fugit Chapter: Act 1' to take part.

Second Blooming is a team challenge event where you can get a new Lisa outfit for free by completing challenges to reach 10,000 points.

You need to create three separate teams and complete consecutive combat challenges, but you can take advantage of the 'Linked' mechanic. Look out for the line connecting characters in the party composition menu of the event, as this means the character you put here will appear in multiple rounds. They will also benefit from bonus effects.

Don't worry if you don't have multiple teams to use, as there will be trial characters available during the challenges.

The rewards you can earn from the Second Blooming event include:

  • New costume for Lisa
  • Primogems
  • Mora
  • Mystic Enhancement Ore
  • Character EXP Materials
  • Weapon Ascension Materials

Genshin Impact Warrior's Spirit event

Warrior's Spirit starts on Thursday, 9th February and ends on Monday, 20th February. You need to be at least Adventure Rank 30 and have completed 'Ritou Escape Plan' as part of the Chapter 2, Act 1 Archon quest 'The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia' in order to take part. It's also recommended to complete Raiden Shogun's Story Quest 'Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter: Act 2' to follow to story of the event. If you haven't completed Raiden's Story Quest, you can still take part by selecting 'Quick Start' from the main events menu.

Warrior's Spirit is a martial arts combat competition being held in Inazuma - but you won't be able to use your elements during any of the challenges!

Instead of relying on Elemental Reactions, you need to parry and use sword techniques to win duels in normal, hard, and pro difficulties. Your opponent can use these same techniques, so you'll have to be careful.

Warrior's Spirit also introduces Ayaka in her new outfit that you can buy from the in-game shop at a reduced price during 3.4.

The rewards you can earn from the Warrior's Spirit event include:

  • Primogems
  • Mora
  • Mystic Enhancement Ore
  • Weapon Ascension Materials
  • Character EXP Materials
  • Talent Level Up materials

Genshin Impact Almighty Arataki Extraordinary and Exciting Extreme Beetle Brawl event

Arataki Itto returns with a new ridiculously long event name.

Exciting Extreme Beetle Brawl starts on Thursday, 16th February and ends on Monday, 27th February. You need to be at least Adventure Rank 30 and have completed 'Ritou Escape Plan' as part of the Chapter 2, Act 1 Archon quest 'The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia' in order to take part. It's also recommended to complete the Act 2 Archon Interlude Chapter 'Perilous Trail' to fully follow the story. If you haven't completed it, you can still take part by selecting 'Quick Start' from the main events menu.

The Exciting Extreme Beetle Brawl event sees you take control of Onikabuto to fight other beetles with special abilities in Friendly Spar, Honed Will, and Fanatic Passion difficulty modes. It looks a bit like a basic mix of a fighting and strategy game.

You need to position your beetle correctly and then charge and unleash special moves to defeat your opponent, but you'll need to be careful you don't open yourself up to attacks from the other Onikabuto.

The rewards you can earn from the Almighty Arataki Extraordinary and Exciting Extreme Beetle Brawl event include:

  • Primogems
  • Mora
  • Mystic Enhancement Ore
  • Talent Level-Up Materials
  • Character EXP Materials

If you play on Mobile, either press the 'Pre-Install Resource Package' icon in the bottom-left corner of the login screen, or go to the Paimon Menu and select 'Settings', 'Other', and finally 'Pre-Install Resource Package'.

How to pre-install 3.4 on Mobile devices.

If you play Genshin Impact on PC, you can pre-install some of the 3.4 update by updating the Genshin Impact Launcher. After updating the launcher, a 'Game Pre-Installation' button will appear to the left of the 'Launch' button. Click 'Game Pre-Installation' to download the 3.4 resources.
