Genshin Impact 2.4 is ending things with a bang, adding a few new limited-time events to tide players over until the 2.5 update. One such event set to appear soon is Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas, in which the Traveler and Paimon will lend a tanuki a little help with exploring the land of Teyvat. And some great rewards, such as Primogems and ascension materials, can be obtained by anyone who participates.

Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas is set to run from Feb. 4 to Feb. 14, giving participants ten days to fulfill the tanuki's request and complete the event.

How to unlock

You'll be able to initiate the Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas event by speaking with the bake-danuki Ioroi, so long as you've fulfilled a couple of requirements beforehand. To take part in this quest starting on Feb. 4, first, make sure you have completed the following:

  • Reached Adventure Rank 30
  • Completed the Chapter II: Act I - The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia Archon Quest
  • Completed the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual World Quest

Once these conditions have been met, head on over to speak with Ioroi in the Chinju Forest on Narumaki Island. He'll ask the Traveler and Paimon to assist the quirky tanuki Kichiboushi with venturing out of the forest and experiencing other parts of Teyvat. Simply agree to this task to start the event.

Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas has a total of seven routes to be completed, with a new route unlocked each day during the event. Kichiboushi will ask the Traveler to fulfill various tasks in each route, giving you the opportunity to earn some fairly nifty rewards with each request that is completed.

Each time that you help out Kichiboushi with achieving his goal, he'll give you some pretty handy items in return. 30 Primogems can be obtained each time a route is completed, for a total of 210 Primogems by the end of the event. Some of the other rewards that can be obtained during Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas are as follows:

  • Mora
  • Hero's Wit
  • Various Weapon Ascension Materials
  • Various Talent Level-Ip Materials
  • Event-exclusive Serenitea Pot furnishings

Keep in mind that Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas will only be around for a limited time, and event-exclusive items won't be obtainable after the event's duration has ended. You certainly won't want to miss out on Kichiboushi's quirky adventure, so be sure to take part on Feb. 4!
