Baizhu and Kaveh finally make their debut! These two characters will be available in Phase 2 of Genshin Impact version 3.6’s Event Wishes, alongside a pick-up rate increase for the Cryo Archer, Ganyu. Phase 1 of 3.6’s event wishes will include the Dendro Archon Nahida, alongside the Twirling Lotus Nilou.

Don’t want to run around too much? you can try out the In Truth’s steps minigame, which has you listening to Bahar tell you various stories and trying to decipher the inconsistencies and key information that leads you to the truth of the story.
■ Concocted Reaction
A new type of combat challenge is also available called Concocted Reaction. In this event, you’ll be taking part in combat arenas where you’ll be given an assortment of debuffs and buffs for you to be afflicted with during combat. You can resist at most two negative effects at a time and also pick two buffs when going into battle.

■ Mimetic Replications

■ Fulminating Sandstorm
Outside of the festival though there are still things happening in the world. In response to new dangers lurking around the sands, the traveler is tasked by the Akademiya to help defend Wenut Slayer Cannons from incoming enemies. As you defend the cannon it will charge up, and then you can unleash its powers onto the Wenut bosses nearby.

Brewing Developments is also coming to Genshin Impact, as a set of combat challenges where you’ll be taken to three consecutive combat rounds, as the game randomly activates one of four buffs during combat.

■ The Recollector’s Path
Finally is the Recollector’s Path minigame, where you’ll be able to take control of Sorush, a new companion found in Genshin Impact’s latest story quests and new region. This training lets you guide Sorush to destroy enemies by dropping mini bombs on them to trigger environmental effects, and barrels to dispatch hilichurls!

Coming to the game are also multiple new enemies in the form of two bosses, and a new roaming enemy!
The Iniquitis Baptist is a new boss you can face off against and is a culmination of the powers of the Abyss Heralds we have fought so far, controlling the power of Pyro, Cryo, and Electro at the same time. As you fight this formidable foe it will not only deal damage with those elements but also create shields to reduce damage from that element.
Across the world will be wandering Anemo and Hydro Hilichurl Rogues, special hilichurls that don’t belong to any specific tribe, but instead occasionally help out other tribes. These new hilichurls can be found in the desert’s newest region.
The Dragon of Verdure Apep will also appear as a new domain boss. This powerful emerald dragon once ruled over Sumeru long before the appearance of man and the Archons, and will be a three-phase boss battle to help rid the Dendro Dragon of its illness, and this will be shown in its second phase where you actually have to protect the dragon from incoming enemies!
