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.

The opportunity to take part in this tanuki tale won’t last long once it starts, however, so you’ll need to act fast to get your hands on the event’s nifty prizes. To help, we’ve put together all of the information you’ll need to know about this upcoming expedition. Here’s the Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas event and how to unlock it.

Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas

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. The tasks given to you by the tanuki will involve taking him to see the sights of Teyvat and taking pictures, expanding his horizons and building a collection of endearing memories along the way. To take part in this journey, however, you’ll need to unlock it.

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 30Completed the Chapter II: Act I - The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia Archon QuestCompleted 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.

Event rewards

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:

  • MoraHero’s WitVarious Weapon Ascension MaterialsVarious Talent Level-Ip MaterialsEvent-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!
