Hainrihi's Discoveries: Archon Quest

Genshin Impact 2.7 Perilous Trail - Moment of Life and Death Cutscene - With Reactions

12:18 AM

The 2.7 Perilous Trail quest really gave me and my heart emotional damage---especially this cutscene. 😭 You can watch it below, but be warned: it comes with my reactions because I couldn't stop my emotions. You will hear me scream and get worried.

As a #Xiao main, this scene made my emotions go into a roller coaster ride. I cried here, especially at the last part where Xiao did the self-sacrificing and I am not exaggerating. If you did this quest, you would understand why I am reacting this way.

Thank you #Hoyoverse for creating one of the best archon quests in the game and one of the best cutscenes. You exceeded my expectations for this quest and you have upped your standards in terms of cutscenes. I look forward to scenes like this in the future. ☺️

Geek/Gaming News | Genshin Impact Invitation to Windblume Version 1.4 Events and Banners Are Up!

1:46 PM

Now that we’re done with the Lantern Rite Festival and Version 1.3 is over, it’s time for another festival in Genshin Impact: the Invitation to Windblume Version 1.4!

With this new update, players will be getting banner reruns, new events, mini games, and more rewards. So what are the things we can look forward to in Version 1.4?

Venti Banner: Ballad in Goblets

Of course, a new version in Genshin Impact wouldn’t be complete without its main character banner. But 1.4 will be different from previous versions as we are going to have a rerun of the game’s first ever character banner---Venti aka Anemo Archon, Barbatos!

In the event wish banner "Ballad in Goblets", there will be a boosted drop rate for the "Windborne Bard" Venti. Apart from that, players will get a huge drop-rate boost for the following 4-star characters: "Harmless Sweetie" Sucrose (Anemo), "Wolf Boy" Razor (Electro), and "Chivalric Blossom" Noelle (Geo). The duration of this banner will be until April 6, 2021.

Test Run: Venti, Sucrose, and Razor

Just like in the past banners, you can test Venti, Sucrose, and Razor and receive various rewards after finishing the trials. With the test run, you get a feel of their attacks, elemental skills, and elemental bursts, which will help you decide whether to get them or not.

"Epitome Invocation" Weapon Banner

In this event, players get the chance to own two event exclusive 5-star weapons: Elegy for the End (Bow) and the 5-star weapon Skyward Blade (Sword). In addition, the event-exclusive 4-star weapons The Alley Flash (Sword) and Wine and Song (Catalyst) and the 4-star weapons Favonius Greatsword (Claymore), Favonius Warbow (Bow), and Dragon's Bane (Polearm) will receive a huge drop-rate boost. The duration of this banner will be until April 6, 2021.

Whether you’re aiming to get Venti or Childe, the Elegy for the End is perfect for them. You can also get the Skyward Blade if you have a sword user like Qiqi, Bennett, Jean, or Xinqui. Just make sure to weigh in what you really want and decide well. ^_^

"Windborne Blossoms" Battle Pass

This is good news for players who have completed their previous battle pass and are waiting two weeks for the next one---and I’m one of those XD

The Windborne Blossoms can help players earn rich rewards and exclusive battle pass weapons. Sojourner's Battle Pass will be unlocked by default every BP Period, while you can unlock "Gnostic Hymn" or "Gnostic Chorus" to further earn Intertwined Fate and a designated 4-star weapon! In addition, you can purchase "Gnostic Chorus" directly to get the exclusive BP name card "Travel Notes: Windblume." This battle pass will last until April 26, 2021.

"Hangout Events: Series I" - Story Quest Overview

One of the things that I love about Genshin Impact is the story quests of the characters. So far, my favorites are the stories of Diluc, Tartaglia, Zhongli, and Hu Tao because I get deeper stories that show who they really are. The story quests are actually the reasons why I am so invested on these characters.

Most of the story quests that players experienced are from 5-star characters. While there are stories from Kaeya and Xinqui, players like me want story quests from other 4-star characters. Well, Mihoyo listened as we are getting not just one, not two, but four 4-star character story quests in the form of "Hangout Events: Series I".

In this story quests, players will be able use Story Keys to unlock Hangout Events for Barbara, Noelle, Chongyun, and Bennett. Players get to spend some special time with characters, with each quest having multiple endings depending on how you interact with them. Take a look at the event details on the photos below:

The Hangout Events will become permanently available after Version 1.4 update, so you can play it anytime you want.

"Outland Gastronomy" - Daily Login Event

Want to earn more Primogems for Venti or Childe? Or just increase items in your inventory? Then you’ll be happy to know that the Daily Login Event is back!

When you login for seven days during the 1.4 event, you get Primogems ×300 and other rewards! Here are the rewards that you get each day:

The Daily Login Event will last until April 1, 2021.

Invitation to Windblume Mini Games

Apart from the other events in Version 1.4, we also have mini games where players can get primogems and other rewards. This will last from March 19 to April 5, 2021. So what are these mini games?

Bullseye Balloons

Floral Freefall

Ballads of Breeze

Peculiar Wonderland

This consists of more mini games that will test your speed, wits, and other skills. Some of these mini games remind me of Fall Guys XD

Shimmering Path

No Landing

Stepping Stone Antics

Windblume Blessing

Barrage Minuet

The Great Bubble Crash

Bubble Speedster

One-Way Traffic

Tartaglia Banner and New 4-Star Character, Rosaria

One thing that surprised everyone in the Version 1.4 livestream is the announcement of another banner rerun, Tartaglia aka Childe, the 11th of the Fatui Harbingers. And together in his banner comes the new 4-star Cryo character, Rosaria.

There is no specific date for Tartaglia, but he will surely come after Venti (most probably on April 7, 2021). I will definitely pull for him, thus I’ll be saving up primogens from the 1.4 events! :D

New Archon Quest - Abyss Herald

This is one of the things I'm excited about in Version 1.4 because it has been a long time since we got an Archon Quest (last time was Farewell, Archaic Lord). In this new Archon Quest, we’ll interact again again with the Bough Keeper, Dansleif and continue to learn more about the Abyss Herald (discussed in Dansleif's World Quest last Version 1.3).

The new Archon Quest is entitled "Chapter I: Act IV - We Will Be Reunited". If you watched the 1.4 trailer, I'm sure you saw the feet and hands of Lumine. So I'm guessing this Archon Quest will leave us with lots of mixed emotions---might as well prepare myself emotionally.

The date for this will be announced soon.

Lots to Do in Invitation to Windblume Version 1.4

So far, those are the main events that we can look forward to in Invitation to Windblume Version 1.4. Maintenance is now done and the new update is available now. We have a lot of things to do in the next weeks and next month.

To the players, good luck on your pulls in the Venti or Tartaglia banners and have fun playing! Leaving you with a meme I saw in Genshin Memes FB page. Pretty much sums up the banners of Version 1.4. XD
