Event Schedule and Requirements
From October 10 to October 21, 2025, players can join in the picture-taking fun of the Genshin Impact Lightgleaner’s Journey event. Even new players can join as long as they meet the requirements, although it might be a huge timeline skip if they’re still playing through earlier Archon Quests.
Event Requirements
- Adventure Rank (AR) 20 or higher
- Completed the “Prologue: Act III – Song of the Dragon and Freedom” Archon Quest
- Finished the short event quest “A Gift of Memories.”
If you’re eligible, a notice for the event quest will appear when you first log into the game. Talk to Paimon in Nasha Town to complete the quest and receive the Memento Kamera gadget. You will then be able to participate in all event days.
How to Play Lightgleaner’s Journey
Players can’t play the event in one sitting. Instead, it slowly unfolds through six days of objectives, each unlocking new photo challenges in different areas. Players need to go to the assigned photo spots, interact with objects or characters, and take pictures based on the given tasks.
Walkthrough
- Equip the Memento Kamera from your inventory.
- Travel to the marked photo locations.
- Meet all the requirements, such as the specific camera angle and the subject’s pose or actions.
- Take the picture when all the objectives are already met.
