Guide for the Winddriver event in Genshin Impact
The event has five stages, which open at intervals of 1 day. To complete the level, you need to collect all the Wind Coins and pass the tests of the Wind Catcher. A friend can help with this: the second player is also able to interact with all the tools and participate in combat.
In the case of cooperative passage The players will have a common counter for coins and challenges, and to complete the challenge, both participants must reach the end.
It is very important not to miss the Wind Coins - they directly affect the quality of completing the tasks of the event, and therefore, the rewards received. In addition, Anemo particles will be found in the dungeon, which must be collected according to the same principle as in time trials in the open world.
How to Use Wind Realm Mechanisms
To move around the dungeon and collect Wind Coins, you need to interact with the mechanisms of the Kingdom of Winds: with their help, you can change the direction of the wind and turn it off. Thus, having built the correct position of the tools, it will be possible to go through the dungeon, reaching all the coins and tests.
Mechanisms are divided into three types:
- Wind Interceptor - creates a wind current, the direction of which can be changed.
- Wind stop console - stops wind currents in a close radius.
- Wind Amplifier - Amplifies the wind currents nearby.
Proper use of these mechanisms will not only help you get to the coins and Anemo particles, but also move objects such as the Leeward Platform and the Drifting Platform.
Kingdom of the northeast winds
Use the wind stop control to interrupt wind currents and clear your way.
Stage goals:
- Complete the Kingdom of the Winds - Complete the dungeon in 20 minutes.
- Collect 25 wind coins in one challenge.
- Complete the Wind Catcher 3 times.
Next, we will tell you how to get through the Kingdom of the Northeast Winds and collect all the wind coins. The Stream Changers to activate and the Windcatcher challenges will be listed separately.
1 wind interceptor
Immediately at the entrance, the wind current will block two coins. Interact with the remote to turn off the nearest device and collect them.
For your next windbreaker, select "Change the direction of the wind flow" and fly over to the other side.
1 wind catcher
On the platform you can see Anemo particle - If you collect it, the time trial will automatically start. To pass it, use the remote control and stop the flow in front so that it does not block the road. After that, run forward to the 2nd interceptor.
Change the direction of the wind current and fly up to pick up last particle and move on.
2 wind interceptor
Climb the ladder and defeat the 3 khilichurlovto collect coins and unlock the device to fly near the wall.
3 and 4 wind interceptors
Once on the platform, interact with the remote on the right and stop the wind currents. For the two marked mechanisms change directionto go upstairs.
Thus, it will be possible to get to the activation device and unlock the next interceptor.
2 wind catcher
Run forward on the descending platforms, collect all the coins and jump off. As soon as you are at the bottom, immediately change the wind flow and pick up Anemo particle. You don't need to turn off anything - just turn around and run to the opposite side, collecting all the particles on the way.
After the test, return to the stream at the back and collect the remaining coins at the top - this will also allow you to climb higher.
3 wind catcher
In the next zone use the remote and activate the last Windcatcher. This time, you need to run as fast as possible along the route while the wind devices are inactive, otherwise the character will be pushed away by the lower device. Run along the route shown in the left screenshot. After that, immediately jump down to the interceptor in front to return to the top.
5 and 6 wind interceptors
Switch the next two devices - this way you can get to the remaining wind coins.
Collect 25 coins out of 30 and pass 3 Windcatchers, to get all the test rewards.

- Collect 25 wind coins.
- Complete Wind Catcher 3 times.
Next, we will provide a complete route for passing the Kingdom of the East Winds with the collection of all coins and solving puzzles. We will show you how to adjust platforms and pass tests.
1 wind catcher
As soon as the stage starts, stop the wind currents using the remote control and immediately pick up the Anemo particle. Run across the platforms and then jump down. Follow straight ahead to the building ahead, collecting all the orbs along the way.
Climbing the stairs to the room, you will encounter hilichurls и mitachurl. All opponents must be defeated in order to get coins.
1 platform for meeting the wind
Exit the building and interact with wind stop control. It must be turned towards the stone column nearby: press twice "turn left" and make sure the platform is in position like in the 3rd screenshot. Now you can climb it and get coins.
Once you're at the top, change the direction of the flow for the next interceptor and soar to collect coins and fly over to the other side.
2 platform for meeting the wind
Do not rush to immediately run straight. First of all, rotate the device next to the platform rightso that you can then climb up. And then change the wind for the two extreme interceptors under the floating stones - this will be required for the next test.
2 wind catcher
Now you can climb the platform and collect all the Anemo particles. Just run forward along the pre-activated platforms and enter the last room.
3 wind catcher
Once inside, before proceeding with the "wind catcher", switch wind direction for a long-range interceptor, it should blow up. Then you can start the test. Don't forget to use streams to pick up all the remaining orbs.

Next, we will tell you how to get through the Kingdom of the Southeast Winds: collect all the wind coins, complete the tests of the “wind catcher” and use the amplification panel to solve puzzles.
1 wind catcher
First of all, you need to go to the other side using mobile platforms. Once you are near the platform, do the following:
- Use the remote control to stop nearby wind currents.
- Approach the interceptor on the left and change direction.
- Immediately run to the far device where the coins and the Anemo particle are located: first activate wind currents amplification panel, and then open interceptor and soar upward.
- Collect the orbs and jump onto the last two platforms, then wait for the device to activate again and pick them up. So you can pick up the coin and the remaining particles.
2 wind catcher
Jump down and enter the next room on the left:
- Turn off streams nearbyusing the remote control and select Anemo particle. After the test starts, run to the far interceptor - change the direction of the wind and open it.
- Up in the air, turn around left and fly towards the orb platforms and the next interceptor. At this point, the stream should turn on automatically, but if it hasn't already, click "open".
- Soar and fly again to the rightto collect the remaining particles.
After landing, change the wind direction for the device to get to the top level.
Preparation for the 3rd test
Climb up the stairs and enter the next area of the dungeon. Ahead you can see a large moving platform - once it is close enough, stand on the right edge and jump over as you approach the interceptor.
Change the direction for the device and hover up. Now you need to open long-range interceptor and also change its flow so that it blows towards the column.
You can also change directions for the two mechanisms on the right in advance - in the future, Anemo particles.
Now on the previously activated airflow (near the moving platform) go back to the entrance and go up the stairs. So get into the room with Anemo slimes. Defeat them to get coins.
3 wind catcher
After leaving the room, follow the platforms to the Anemo Particle. Since the platform was lowered in advance, you can immediately begin the test.
Collect nearby spheres and fly to the three interceptors, above which the remaining particles hover.
After completing the test, change the air flow at the farthest device (in the middle) to fly up.
Next, you need to go across the bridge to the building ahead and follow the route of the coins.
At the end, exit into the room with remote control - immediately activate it and jump down. Change direction for the interceptor to use the airflow and soar towards the remaining coins all the way to the finish line.
Don't forget to collect the rewards after completing the dungeon.
The realm of the northwest winds
Adjust various mechanisms with wind control panel - it will allow you to stop the flows or return them to their original state.
Test objectives:
- Complete the Realm of the Winds dungeon.
- Collect 25/30 wind coins.
- Perform Wind Catcher 3 times.
At this stage, it is possible to independently, without any devices, turn off all streams nearby using the "T" button in the lower right corner. This is the control panel.
Next, we will tell you how to get through the Kingdom of the Northwest Winds, collect coins and properly adjust the mechanisms. We will help you complete all 3 “wind catchers”.
1 wind catcher
The first challenge can be faced by running a little forward from the starting point. To complete the puzzle, you need disable interceptors or change their direction.
Pick up the Anemo particle and go around the circle. You can start from any direction.
After you have completed the test, jump down, pick up the coins and enter the next room.
2 wind catcher
The route of the 2nd catcher can be difficult to pass on the first try, since the Anemo particles are scattered quite chaotically. If you're having trouble, do the following:
- Pick up the sphere and soar up. Then stand on the nearest platform and proceed straight, picking up particles along the way.
- Go down to the interceptor below and open it. After rising into the air, fly towards the next stream.
- Pick up all orbs in this level. Then stand on the platform with the blue symbol and activate it to get to the floating particles on the left.
- From the last stop, fly towards the spheres on the slope and collect them, then jump over to another blue platform. Also activate it to access nearby particles. You can just fly to the last one.
Most likely, you won’t be able to get to the ledge with coins right away. So go up there with the streams.
Enter the room where you have to fight mitachurl и two shamachurls. Don't forget to pick up the coins after the victory.
3 wind catcher
As soon as you get to the next zone, turn off all streams using the remote control (the "T" button in the lower right corner). Then pick up the Anemo particle and start the 3rd test:
- Interceptor ahead - immediately Turn right, and then go collect particles.
- The distance to the next platform is quite large, so after you collect the last sphere, go back and soar there from a height.
- Run further and, before reaching the interceptor, turn off all devices so that the flow does not block the path to the remaining particles.
Now change direction for the mechanism and again activate his. Use the stream to fly up and pick up the coins on the platform.
Proceeding further, you will fall into the room with the final puzzle.
How to collect coins in the last room
For a start turn off all devices nearby using the control panel ("T"). Then hover forward to the two connected platforms with green symbols and turn the gears back on.
After you're at the top, walk forward along the sloping ledge, stand on the platform with the blue sign and activate it.
Right near the finish line, the path will be blocked. Disable the interceptors again with the remote control and jump onto the green platforms.
Turn on the devices again to get to the remaining coins.
Complete the dungeon and complete the challenge to claim your rewards.
Kingdom of the South Winds
The last stage is different from all the others, because in addition to collecting wind coins and solving puzzles, you must periodically fight with groups of opponents. The Windcatcher Challenge has also received some changes. Now, in a strictly allotted time, you need to collect not Anemo particles, but coins. Then immediately switch to the battle. There is no break between rounds, although each has its own timer.
In a separate guide you can find a step-by-step walkthrough Kingdoms of the South Winds.

they make a game where you can climb walls,
and then I make riddles where you can't do it
it kills the whole idea of free exploration
I knocked out the Kazakh exactly for such a p-tsa, because the design of such labyrinths by the developers kills all the desire to pass the event in an honest way.
I can also recommend Keqing and grandfather, as well as Albedo with his elevator.
Damn, they're simple. The option where almost everywhere you need hints, there is enough time to think.
cool, but my Persians just don’t reach the platform haha
Did you lower the platform using the remote control?
How dodich do you have to be in order not to be able to pass this?
Me. These streams don't reach the platform
Excuse me, can you clarify where exactly they do not get it?
Because you don’t need to put it up in all cases, you can also sideways periodically
Thanks for the info)
Glad we could help 🙂 Thanks for the comment
