How to complete Across the Wilderness event challenges in Genshin Impact

Before starting, make sure to equip the Wilderness Compass, which can be found in the Gadget Inventory. Head to the event area, which is marked with a balloon icon in the World Map and mini-map. Then interact with the signboard beside Vinkel to start Match Preparation. Since the event is single-player by default, you must invite friends to your World before starting a challenge to turn it into a Co-op experience.

Before starting, make sure to Configure Skills. These can be used in the event area by activating the Wilderness Compass. When you're ready, click Start to be teleported to the event area. You'll get an overview of all the Balloon locations before the timer starts.

The challenge is simple: You need to collect all of the Wilderness Balloons before the timer ends. You can use character quirks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts to make the collection process easier. The purple ones are called Harvest Balloons and will spawn based on the event objective.

Meanwhile, orange ones are called Sonar Balloons. Picking one up will prompt various Harvest Balloons to spawn within the vicinity, making it easier to collect them. Keep in mind that the total number of Harvest Balloons will not increase. For example, if the objective is to collect 40 Balloons, then only 40 will spawn throughout the challenge. Once you're done, you can claim rewards from the event menu.
