How to complete the Test of Courage quest in Genshin Impact – Akitsu Kimodameshi event

Head to the Kamisato Estate and speak with Ayato. He'll sign you up for the Test of Courage, which is held in Chinju Forest. After speaking with him, exit the Kamisato Estate through the gates to meet Arataki Itto, who'll compel you to help him scare other participants. Once that's done, head to Chinju Forest through the path from the Kamisato Estate to meet the Shrine Maiden, who will ask you to pick a partner.

You have three options: Ayaka, Kazuha, or Gorou. You can speak to all three to experience their dialogue, then pick a partner when you're ready.

Once you've picked a partner, the first test will start. You need to find Dango Milk. Follow the path until you see the intersection pictured above, then turn left. Keep following the signs until Itto intercepts you, then keep going until you see the box of Dango Milk in front of a scarecrow.

Interact with the Dango Milk to collect them. Once Kazuha leaves, approach Ei to speak with her. Then follow the quest marker toward Itto, who gets spooked by a group of children. You'll encounter a mysterious woman and lose consciousness, and then speak with Heizou. After the dialogue with him, the quest will be complete, and you can begin the next Event Quest: Akitsu Yuugei.
