Here’s a complete overview of all the time-limited events available in Genshin Impact 4.1:
Radiant Harvest Event
The Radiant Harvest event begins on Thursday, September 28, and runs until Monday, October 9.
To participate, you must be at least Adventure Rank 20, have unlocked at least one Statue of Seven in Fontaine, and have completed the Prologue Act 3 “Song of the Dragon and Freedom” Archon Quest.
In this event, you’ll assist a Fontaine merchant named Kesean in locating sea life that doesn’t belong in Fontaine’s waters.
The mini-game involves diving underwater to search for Violetglow Jellyfish and earn rewards.
Dodoco’s Bomb-Tastic Adventure Event
The Dodoco’s Bomb-Tastic Adventure event runs from Friday, October 6, to Monday, October 16.
To participate, players must be at least Adventure Rank 20 and have completed the Prologue Act 3 “Song of the Dragon and Freedom” Archon Quest.
While completing Klee’s Story Quest “Trifolium Chapter: Act 1” is recommended for the best story experience, it is not required.
In this event, Klee finds a Sumeru fish in Cider Lake, prompting Lisa to create a mini-game for her.
This allows Klee to playfully “blow up” fish with Jumpty Dumpties instead of using actual bombs.
Players will control a mini Dodoco and use various Jumpty Dumpty projectiles to clear fish from a grid layout.
You can maneuver Dodoco around the board to gain better angles on fish hidden behind obstacles.
Waterborne Poetry Event
The Waterborne Poetry event runs from Thursday, October 12, to Monday, October 30.
To join, players must be at least Adventure Rank 20 and have completed both the Prologue Act 3, “Song of the Dragon and Freedom,” and Chapter 1 Act 3 “A New Star Approaches,” Archon Quests.
This autumn event sees Venti and Hu Tao fulfilling their Lantern Rite promise by collaborating on poetry set against the backdrops of Mondstadt and Liyue.
Let’s hope Hu Tao’s contribution isn’t another rap performance…
The event features three main activities: Hundred-Pace Hurling Rites, Inspiration Eruption, and Mending Painting Prospects.
Participants will earn Poetry Gala Fervor by completing these mini-games and their challenges.
This exclusive event currency can be exchanged for rewards, including a new 4-Star Catalyst weapon: Ballad of the Boundless Blue.

Hundred-Pace Hurling Rites
In this mini-game, you’ll test your aim by throwing darts at pots to achieve a high score.
Successfully throwing a dart through a hoop will double your points, and hitting special pots can provide helpful gameplay modifiers, such as increasing dart-throwing speed.
Inspiration Eruption
This mini-game is a combat challenge where you must defeat enemies within a set time limit.
As you defeat enemies, you’ll collect Inspiring Crystals, occasionally releasing an area-of-effect shockwave.
Use these shockwaves strategically to take down the formidable Mythic Nexus enemies.
Mending Painting Prospects
In this activity, you’ll search for the backgrounds of specific paintings and match them with incomplete artwork.
You must visit designated locations and adjust your camera angle to complete the paintings accurately.
Peaks and Troughs of Life Event
The Peaks and Troughs of Life event runs from Monday, October 23, to Monday, November 6.
To participate, you must be at least Adventure Rank 20 and have completed the Prologue Act 3 “Song of the Dragon and Freedom” Archon Quest.
This combat-focused event challenges you to use the Pressurized Impactors feature to effectively time area-of-effect blasts against enemies.
The “Load” feature enhances Buff Modules based on the number of deployed characters and their levels.
