A guide to the Silverwing Moonward Event in Genshin Impact

The event is divided into three mini-games, each of which is associated with one of Li Yue's exorcists - craftswoman Lan Yan, poet Hu Tao or exorcist Chun Yun.

Hunting for evil spirits

In this mode, the Traveler controls not their own character, but a roguelike talisman created by Lan Yan. The talisman can seal the evil energy scattered throughout the levels: during the minigame, the player must collect the Adepts' energy, use it to empower the talisman, and simultaneously dispel the clots of darkness before they grow and hinder the player's progress.

Chronicles of Confronting Darkness

The challenge here is more like a classic battle arena: you need to inflict as much damage on your enemies as possible within a limited time. Additionally, you can activate a special Omen during battle—it grants temporary buffs to your squad and helps you clear enemy waves faster, so it's worth timing its use during the most challenging moments of the challenge.

The Art of Exorcism

In the third mode, the Traveler must destroy demons and spirits using combat talismans and spells while dodging streams of enemy projectiles. Spiritual power gained in battle and talismans acquired enhance the characters' abilities throughout the run, so the longer you stay in the arena, the easier it is to deal with new waves of enemies.
