Unlocking New Golden Archipelago in Genshin Impact 2.8
The Summertime Odyssey, a headline event in Genshin Impact 2.8, will debut the new Golden Apple Archipelago. The main event will feature several mini-games in which players may compete for thrilling prizes.
However, before reaching the time-limited island, gamers must first accomplish a few prerequisites. Here’s a short rundown of what players need to do to access the Golden Apple Archipelago:
- The Adventure Rank should be 32 or above.
- Archon Quest Chapter II: Prologue ‘Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves’ is completed.
- Mona’s Story Quest ‘Astrolabos Chapter: Act I – Beyond This World’s Stars’ has been completed.
When all prerequisites are met, the headline event Summertime Odyssey will be unlocked, and a new event quest titled ‘The Golden Apple Vacation Returns!’ will appear in the player’s quest menu. Players can traverse the event and quest, needing them to visit Mondstadt to begin the mission.
The event quest is straightforward, and travellers will encounter many familiar characters as they return to the Golden Apple Archipelago islands. Players will encounter Kazuha, Fischl, Mona, and Xinyan throughout the event.
Surprisingly, Venti also appears in the event quest, although he will not accompany travellers and others to the Golden Apple Archipelago. After reaching the island, players will be given a Dodocommunication Device, which acts as a walkie-talkie for Travelers and Venti to communicate.
Except for one occasion where players must engage a Fatui Cryogunner after arriving on the islands, the remainder of the event quest is packed with plenty of chat and minor cutscenes. The event objective is almost complete when Traveler interacts with Venti via the Dodocommunication Device.
Following that moment, Genshin Impact players can explore the islands and discover all teleport waypoints. The Surfpiecer and Resonating Vision events are currently available only for participants. The remaining events are timed and will be accessible in a few days.
Meanwhile, players may participate in the aforementioned event to earn interesting goodies like Primogems, Mora, and Fischl’s new outfit ‘Ein Immernachtstraum’ in Genshin Impact. Continue to comment and read our Genshin Impact guide for more game updates.
