Genshin Impact fans are in for a treat with the launch of “Iktomi Spiritseeking Scrolls,” the star event of Version 5.2. This major event is packed with a series of exciting activities and a treasure trove of rewards. Players who dive into this event will have the chance to snag the exclusive Calamity of Eshu sword by taking on cooperative minigames, intense combat sessions, and thought-provoking puzzles. The highlight involves herding wandering spirits, which adds an intriguing layer to the game’s combat and puzzle challenges. It’s strongly recommended to dive into this after wrapping up Act 4 of the Natlan storyline for the best experience.
Genshin Impact introduces an engaging narrative journey with characters Citlali and Ororon in this flagship event. With every version update, Genshin Impact thrills players with a major storyline event that’s intertwined with diverse minigames and combat challenges. Completing these flagship events typically rewards players with exclusive characters or weapons, upping the stakes for participation.
In the latest update for Version 5.2, the game not only introduces new characters, Chasca and Ororon, but also unveils the intriguing realms of the Flowerfeather Clan and the enigmatic Masters of the Night-Wind. Citlali and Ororon, belonging to this mysterious group, captivated the player base since Version 5.1. The decision to set the flagship event in the intriguing tribe of Mictlan was a wise and welcomed move by the developers.
Announced on Genshin Impact’s official blog, the “Iktomi Spiritseeking Scrolls” is scheduled to run from November 28 to December 16. It promises a rich variety of activities including a co-op minigame, a challenging combat event, and an intricate puzzle game. As players complete these tasks, they’ll earn coveted rewards such as Primogems, a Crown of Insight, and the highly anticipated Calamity of Eshu—a 4-Star Sword designed with the aesthetic flair of the Masters of the Night-Wind. This weapon is expected to immensely benefit Sword-wielding characters who rely on shield protection, like Clorinde or Ayato.
### Activities
In this flagship event, players will take on three main activities. The Search for Lost Spirits calls for tactical collaboration to guide roaming spirits to a specific zone. Evil Banisher introduces a combat challenge where completing certain objectives will empower players with a Banishing Aura that delivers area-of-effect damage. Lastly, Restoring Fragmented Records offers a cerebral puzzle experience, demanding players reconstruct image fragments accurately.
### Rewards
Among the rewards, the Calamity of Eshu stands out with its impressive stats: a Base ATK of 565 and a 27.6% ATK bonus. When wielded by shielded characters, this sword amplifies Normal and Charged Attack damage by 20% and boosts CRIT Rate by 8%. Other rewards include four Shuttle of Odara (for refinement), a Crown of Insight, 790 Primogems, 34 Hero’s Wit, and 680,000 Mora.
As players take on the roles of Ororon and Citlali, they’ll explore an array of tasks that require strategic thinking and teamwork. Starting with herding Roaming Spirits, then battling through Evil Banisher for significant buffs, and finally solving intricate puzzles in Restoring Fragmented Records, this event has something for everyone.
To fully enjoy the flagship event, players must complete the Genshin Impact Prologue. However, to ensure an optimal experience, it is advised to finish Act 4 of the Natlan storyline first. While the Calamity of Eshu might not seem tailored for current Natlan characters, it potentially sets the stage for future releases, like Iansan, Ifa, or the confirmed Cryo Sword user, Capitano.
