Genshin Impact 3.5 Events

In addition to a new Archon Quest, Deyha Story Quest, Faruzan Hangout Event, Leyline Overflow Event, Passionate Battle Mode in Genius Invokation TCG, and updated (retroactive) Archon Quest rewards, we obtain four limited-time events during Genshin Impact update 3.5.

Here’s everything we know so far about the events of Genshin Impact 3.5:

Event Breath of Genshin Impact Windblume

Windblume’s Breath will be the main event for Phase 1 of Version 3.5, featuring many mini-events as part of this romantic Mondstadt festival.

Collei, Tighnari, and Cyno travel to Mondstadt from Sumeru, with Collei being the most featured character in the event’s history.

As for the activities of the Windblume festival, there will be three mini-games:

floral chase
Breeze Ballads
Light snapshots

floral chase is a mini-game against the clock in which you must collect balloons to build your score while avoiding obstacles. Each challenge has multiple areas, and you progress through each new area by running through a festive floral ring. You can play Floral Pursuit solo or cooperatively.

Breeze Ballads is a standard rhythm mini-game where you score points by playing each song accurately. This time, you can choose between three instruments, changing the sound of each song challenge as you play it.

Light snapshots is another photographic challenge. As usual, you need to go to the right place and complete the task requirements, then take a picture with your camera to get rewards.

All the rewards you can earn during the Windblume’s Breath event include:

A free 4-star claymore (flower mailed)
Weapon Ascension Materials for Mailed Flower (Unfading Silky Grace)
Primogems
More
insight crown
Weapon Ascension Materials
Character EXP Materials
Talent Level Materials
Mystical Enhancement Ore

Genshin Impact Spices of the West: Search the North Event

This throwback event takes a trip to Sumeru!

For Spices from the West: Northerly Search, you must participate in a mini-game where you add the correct ingredients in the correct order to complete the challenges. You only get a limited number of attempts before failing, so it requires you to be quick and pay close attention to instructions.

Once you have prepared a seasoning, you can then add it to your own dishes, create “flavored” meals and improve them. You can give these dishes to Serenitea Pot characters instead to increase their companionship EXP. You’ll get a different response from different characters, depending on what dish you give them.

The rewards you can earn through this Spices from the West event include:

Primogems
More
Mystical Enhancement Ore
Character EXP Materials
Talent Level Materials

Genshin Impact Fungus Mechanicus Event

The Fungus Mechanicus event continues the Fungi story that introduced Layla to Sumeru, but this time the mechanics are entirely different.

Instead of training your Fungi and taking them to battle regularly in arenas, you instead have to support them by launching attacks from a bird’s eye view, like a real-time strategy game. You will still be able to use each Fungi’s special abilities, but it will just be from a different perspective.

Bongo-Head and Twirly Whirly also make triumphant returns, but we’ll have to wait and see if Layla returns for the event as well.

The rewards you can earn during the Fungus Mechanicus event include:

Primogems
More
Mystical Enhancement Ore
Weapon Ascension Materials
Character EXP Materials
sanctifying anointing

Genshin Impact Vibrocrystal Verification Event

We return to The Chasm in Liyue for Vibro-Crystal Verification where we will have to combine crystals to obtain buffs for two groups to complete combat challenges. Don’t worry if you don’t have two top teams, as there will also be trial characters to choose from.
