Complete Act 3 - Raiders Amidst Snow Mist in genshin impact. Requires AR 20 and specific Archon Quests. Event runs until January 5, 2021.
Walkthrough
- 1Meet with Albedo at the entrance to Dragonspine, past the Adventure Camp. A cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will trigger as you approach.
- 2Head partway up the mountain, following the path south past the Frostbearing Tree and then west to a campsite. Another scene will trigger.
- 3Defeat the attacking Hilichurls, consisting of two Cryo Shooters and two Hilichurl Fighters. Using Pyro and Electro and Hydro will make this easier. After they are defeated, another cutscene will play.
- 4Follow the footprints of the Hilichurl that stole Albedo’s Campsite Book. Look for little white arrows on the floor showing the footprints. Follow them east, then south, under a fallen tree and past a campsite. Three Hilichurls will spawn as you approach the campsite; deal with them and continue south. A cutscene will play after a short while.
- 5Destroy the Ameno Amber, a small green node with the Anemo symbol. Destroy it with a simple weapon attack to create a gust of Anemo energy for gliding.
- 6Use the wind current to catch up to the Hilichurl. This starts a challenge where you have 90 seconds to reach the target location. Glide south, onto the ledge leading to Starglow Cavern. Go into the cave and drop/glide south towards the bottom, exiting at the other end. Head west, then southwest to complete the challenge.
- 7Activate the device to start a challenge requiring you to defeat enemies while following the Seelie. Keep near the Seelie to prevent your Seering Cold status from getting too high.
- 8Defeat all opponents: two Cryo Hilichurl Grenadiers, one Cryo Samachurl, and one Cryo Abyss Mage. After a few are defeated, two more Cryo Shooters will spawn, as well as an Ice Shieldwall Mitachurl. Prioritize the Samachurl, then the Abyss Mage, then the Grenadiers. Utilize Pyro and Electro. For the later spawns, take out the Shooters first (or dodge them) and then the Mitachurl. Using a Geo shield like Zhongli can help negate its damage. Retrieve the sketchbook.
- 9Return to Albedo’s Campsite and speak to him. After a cutscene, the quest ends and the event is unlocked.
- 10The event, called the Draconic Pilgrimage, requires you to go to a red marker icon around Dragonspine and interact with it to start a challenge. This involves following a Seelie while defeating enemies, which rewards Warm Essence. This currency can be used in the Event Shop to purchase items, most importantly the Festering Dragon Marrow, a refinement material for the Festering Sword. The challenge appears at different locations in Dragonspine, visible on your map.
