In this guide, we will briefly overview what awaits us in the event "Lantern Rite Festival" that is about to be released. We will focus on all the aspects that deserve special attention.  

Are you ready for another celebration in the peaceful harbor of Liyue? Remember how awesome the festival was last time? Get ready for new gifts and unrestrained fun!

When is the Celebration?

This festival is almost an exact replica of the Chinese New Year. The developers are not deviating from their traditions and have created a colorful festival in the March update.

It will be held between February 10th and 28th of the current year. The main and coolest prize you can get is a four-star character from Liyue. But the festival gifts don't end there, you'll be able to acquire many more useful items. 

In the screenshot, you can see the schedule of how the "Lantern Rite Festival" event will unfold: 

How to Participate in the "Lantern Rite Festival"

You will need to prepare for the celebration. Make sure to level up your character to Adventure Rank 23 and complete the entire Xiao storyline. 

The event will be available on February 10th, not before. You will be able to start exploring the new world at 10 AM. Additionally, you will have access to the "Glimmering Blossoms" mission without a special key. It's worth considering whether to complete it during the festival days.

How to Complete the "Lantern Rite Festival"

We have compiled a rough action plan, which you can see in the screenshot. For convenience, we have divided it into three stages. 

Keep in mind the main goal: to obtain the main 4-star character. Next, we will explain how to acquire this long-awaited hero. 

Once you reach the level "Thousand Lanterns" and spend at least 1000 talismans, the "Stay with Me" mission will be unlocked. It is in this quest that you will obtain a four-star character. 

We recommend taking the following characters with you on your journey: 

1. Xingqiu - the best support character in the game. He can heal, protect, and deal damage to enemies, all thanks to hydro reactions. 

2. Ningguang - an excellent character who can defeat enemies and quickly locate ore on the map. 

Mechanicus Theater

Alongside the Lantern Rite Festival, there will be another event called Mechanicus Theater. You can access it during the "From Whence the Lanterns Came" and "Liyue: Theater Mechanicus" missions.  

What is this arena?

It's an improvised game within the game. Here's how it works:

• You will have to place mechanisms to defend your possessions;

• Acquire machines using magic signs;

• Defeat all enemies and claim all your rightful "World Talismans." 

Prizes for the Winner

The main place where rewards will be distributed is the "Night Market." You can obtain the following rewards:

1. Experience for your character;

2. Ore for character leveling;

3. There's a good chance you'll receive the "Crown of Insight";

4. A personalized "Lantern Light" card. 

The developers have stated that even if you don't participate, you will still receive some form of reward. 

You can also receive prizes for attending the festival from February 11th to 26th. Rest assured that even if you miss a couple of festival days, you won't be left without a gift.
