How to unlock Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas in Genshin Impact

While it isn’t particularly difficult, Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas is an Event for veteran Genshin Impact players, who already explored Dragonspine and Inazuma. To unlock the Event, you need to be Adventurer Rank 30 and have completed several Inazuma Quests:

• “Ritou Escape Plan” in the Inazuma Archon Quest
• “A Strange Story in Konda”
• “Sacrificial Offering”
• “Tanuku-Bayashi in the Forest”, three sub-quests in the World Quest “Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual”

Once you’ve cleared these requirements, open the Event menu to select the Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas Event World Quest.

How to clear Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas Part 1, Snowswept Fairytale Ioroi’s location

First, you need to go speak to Ioroi’s statue in Chinju Forest, be sure to activate Navigation on the Quest so the game guides you. Ioroi is at the blue dot seen in the map screenshot above. A short dialogue will trigger, and you’ll be asked to go speak to Kichiboushi next, which is right next to Ioroi’s statue.

After that, go talk with Ioroi again. Once you’re done with that dialogue scene, the real Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas Event will begin.

This first part of the Event requires we bring Kichiboushi to Dragonspine. So open the Event menu, select Snowsewpt Fairytale, and click Get Quest to activate Navigation.

The “Say Hello to Kichiboushi” button is in the bottom left

As a side note, on the Event screen, you can also click “Say Hello to Kichiboushi” to get to watch cute tanuki animations. As of now, doing this doesn’t seem to have any effect gameplay-wise, but I’ll keep you updated if I figure out something.

When you reach the objective in Dragonspine, you’ll have to start following Kichiboushi around. He will always appear a few meters ahead, so you can’t lose sight of him.

Once you’re done following Kichiboushi, he’ll turn into a torch you need to lit up. A short dialogue scene will trigger once you do so, and Kichiboushi will cross over the cliff and turn into a block of ice. You need to glide there and melt the ice on the other side. Keep following Kichiboushi again till the Snowboard King’s lair.

Take the photoTake a photo and defeat the Snowboar King

Lastly, you’ll have to take a photo of Kichiboushi to prove to Ioroi you really went on an adventure. But first, switch your party out to your usual characters if you haven’t yet. Because as soon as you take the photo, the Snowboar King will appear for a short fight.

Once you’re ready, go to the glowing point and select Start Taking Photos, and snap one picture after the “Camera adjusted to the correct angle” message appeared on top of the screen. Then fight and defeat the Snowboar King. It wasn’t buffed and it has the exact same patterns as when Dragonspine was first released over a year ago, so you shouldn’t have any issues beating it. After that, go report back to Ioroi to complete the Quest.

More Quests in Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas will be unlocked as the Event goes on, so stay tuned for our future guides, and tell us your thoughts on the Event in the comments below!
