Genshin Impact 2.8 is already old news and people are hyped for the Sumeru Special Progam Announcement but we have one last event in this update to close off 2.8 with. The Evermotion Mechanical Painting is the recent event in Genshin Impact 2.8 Summer Fantasia and it’s a puzzle-themed event similar to the Dragonspine painting event we once did way back when.
In this walkthrough, we’re going to guide you through this event so that you can claim those sweet freemogems as they come. The event begins on 12th August and ends on 22nd August so a total of 10 days of runtime. Each stage unlocks each day for 7 days and each day rewards you with 60 primogems and some Mora and Mondstadt weapon enhancement materials. You can earn a total of 420 primogems and also an exclusive furnishing from this event.
Evermotion Mechanical Painting Walkthrough for Day 1
The Evermotion Mechanical Paintings are a series of puzzles involving gears on a board which have to be connected for it all to smoothly operate together. When the event goes live, teleport to the Mondstadt City Tower waypoint and head southeast for the quest location nearby. Once you’ve completed the event quest, you’ll get 30 Primogems, 3 Hero’s Wit and 30000 Mora.
Once you’ve completed the quest you can begin the Day 1 challenge. In this challenge, you have to fit all the given gears within the mechanical plate. There will be one gear in continuous motion or “Evermotion” and you have to fit all the other gears in a way that makes sure all of them are used and the whole “Painting” is in “Evermotion”. Below we’ve given you the solution for Day 1’s puzzle.
- Position 1: Medium Gear
- Position 2: Small Gear
- Position 3: Medium Gear
- Position 4: Large Gear
- Position 5: Small Gear
- Position 6: Medium Gear
After you’ve successfully restored the mechanical painting, you can leave and claim your rewards from the event screen. This puzzle event might feel boring and out of place to some but for puzzle-lovers like us, this is a chill and engaging event. And in any case, you don’t want to miss out on those free primogems after all!
