Genshin Impact celebrates The Game Awards 2022 with 800 free Primogems, reveals Yaoyao and Alhaitham

To celebrate winning the Players Voice Awards, HoYoverse is giving out 800 Primogems to Genshin Impact players for free.

The popular action role-playing game Genshin Impact didn’t feature too prominently at The Game Awards 2022, but it did win the Players Voice Award after a fierce battle with Sonic Frontiers and contributed a trailer to the show. This trailer ended up revealing a character that fans of the game have been waiting on for two years: the Dendro character Yaoyao.

The long-awaited debut of Scaramouche aka. Wanderer is one of the highlights of Genshin Impact’s 3.3 update.

The long-awaited debut of Scaramouche aka. Wanderer is one of the highlights of Genshin Impact’s 3.3 update – no surprise, considering the abilities this Anemo character has. Scaramouche brings useful talents for exploration, like being able to levitate over any terrain. He’s also immensely versatile in combat: his Anemo skills interact with many other elements and reliably trigger powerful Swirls.

If you were lucky enough to pull the Wanderer, Scaramouche, in Genshin Impact you should check out this guide to his best weapons, artifacts, and teams.

Genshin Impact Layla build: Best Weapons, Artifacts, and Teams

Check out the best build for Layla, Genshin Impact’s astrology student.

Genshin Impact’s astrology student Layla is constantly overtired and sleepwalking – fortunately, this is not only not a problem when she’s in combat, but actually very helpful. The Cryo character surrounds herself with a powerful shield after suddenly falling asleep, keeping her fellow team members alive with her – plus Layla’s cheap and long-lasting Elemental Burst provides constant Cryo afflications. How to make the most of this package and equip Layla ideally is explained in this build guide.

This Genshin Impact Minecraft mashup needs to be a real mod

One keen Genshin Impact fan recreated some of the RPG’s best characters in Minecraft, and we just wish it were playable

Genshin Impact and Minecraft seem like two completely separate experiences at first glance, but animator and YouTuber Faris Sayyaf decided the two should be more compatible. They created a two-minute-long mashup of Genshin Impact characters using their skills in Minecraft that found its way to Genshin Impact Twitter as a few thousand hopefuls thought it was an actual mod in the works.

It isn’t, and that’s a shame because it just looks so perfect.

The animated short starts with recent addition Tighnari using his signature Tanglevine burst to ensnare enemies in forest energy, but Sayyaf goes a step further. This wasn’t just your average Minecraft mob, though. It was a full-blown Withering Zone, and the animation treats us to a lovely segment where the forest springs back into lush, green life afterward.

What follows is a who’s who of Genshin Impact favorites. Zhongli shows up and turns his foes into stone. Fischl and her night raven soar across the field, zapping Creepers as they go. Dori the mighty merchant summons her jinni companion, and Kazuha even creates his Autumn Wind field complete with swirling leaves.

Check it out on their YouTube page.

This isn’t Sayyaf’s first crack at merging Genshin Impact with Minecraft. In 2021, they made a video themed after Genshin Impact’s opening segment, using Minecraft’s ray tracing to make the Traveler’s arrival in Teyvat stand out even more.

Whether any other clever creators decide to bring this vision to life in mod form, though, we can only hope.

Genshin Impact Fabulous Fungus Frenzy: How to get the secret ending

Here’s how to unlock the hidden ending of the Fabulous Fungus Frenzy event in Genshin Impact.

Players are having a lot of fun with Genshin Impact 3.2’s Fabulous Fungus Frenzy event, which is to end in a few days. During the time-limited event users are able to capture fungus beasts in the wilderness of Sumeru, train them up, and have them fight against teams of other fungi – if “Pokémon, but it’s Genshin Impact” sounds good to you, it’s worth checking out. Not to mention you can farm a lot of Primogems and get a free invitation for Dori out of it.

During the competition against the other tamers, players also have to uncover a conspiracy by an ambitious member of the Akademiya called Kautilya and a Fatui agent called Elchingen. With your help as well as some assistance from Yae Miko, Layla, and Cyno, the Matra are able to take the duo prisoner.

[mm-video type=video id=01fnrbaed5p7qg15cja2 playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fnrbaed5p7qg15cja2/01fnrbaed5p7qg15cja2-b2749e13fbe325fea1f6ce9d25ed3555.jpg]

Elchingen, who reveals himself to be a subordinate of Dottore – the second-ranking among the Fatui Harbingers – vows vengeance against the players for thwarting his plans at the end of the event quest. That, however, might prove difficult for him to achieve, as the hidden ending of the Fabulous Fungus Frenzy event shows.

The Balladeer, Scaramouche, is one of the Fatui Harbingers in Genshin Impact. This maniacal foe feels that he’s been discarded and neglected.

Genshin Impact: How to defeat the Dendro Hypostasis

It’d require you to bring a Dendro character along.

The Dendro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact makes use of the newly introduced element, combined with some tried-and-tested mechanics. It’d also require you to bring a Dendro character along, and maybe even an Electro fighter to speed things up.

Defeating the Dendro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact

You can find the Dendro Hypostasis’ lair in Genshin Impact by heading to Dar al-Shifa in the eastern section of Sumeru Desert. Jump off the cliff where the fast travel point is and look for a tunnel.

Generally speaking, this boss is similar to other Hypostasis creatures that you’ve encountered before. It’ll alternate between its attacks and its vulnerable diamond shape, which will give you a limited window of time to deal damage.

Genshin Impact: How to complete Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises quest

“Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises” is a new quest in Genshin Impact’s version 3.2 update.

“Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises” is a new quest in Genshin Impact’s version 3.2 update. It’s the continuation of the Archon saga, which will lead you to a direct confrontation against the Balladeer, Scaramouche, while attempting to rescue Nahida.

Chapter 3 – Act 5: Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises quest guide

As with all other Archon Quests in Genshin Impact, “Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises” requires the completion of previous chapter objectives. Moreover, you’ll also need to progress Tighnari’s Story Quest further (assuming you’ve unlocked it), or you’ll be locked out of a particular segment later on. In any case, we’ll provide a general outline of what you can expect.
