Genshin Impact Lantern Rite event unlock requirements

To unlock the Lantern Rite event in Genshin Impact, you need to be at least Adventure Rank 28 and have completed the Chapter 1, Act 3 'A New Star Approaches' Archon Quest.

It's also recommended to complete the Act 1 Archon Interlude Chapter 'The Crane Returns on the Wind' and Yelan's Story Quest 'Umbrabilis Orchis Chapter: Act 1' to fully follow the story. If you haven't completed these quests, you can still take part by selecting 'Quick Start' from the main events menu.

If you meet these event requirements, go to Liyue Harbor and speak with Zhongli in the eastern side of the city to start Act 1 of the 'Exquisite Night Chimes' quest.

Once you complete 'A Thousand Miles for an Enigmatic Tune', the first act of this event story quest, you will then gain access to the four mini-events that make up Lantern Rite. Start each by tracking each event from the quests menu, or the Lantern Rite event menu.

There are three parts to the 'Exquisite Night Chimes' story in total, but you only need to complete Act 1 to take part in each of the four events to work towards their rewards.

The first challenges of each event are ready to play from the first day of the event on Thursday, 19th January. Over the next five days, three more stages of each event will become available to take part in and earn their rewards, which include Primogems and Festive Fever.

There's also a login event running from 19th January until 2nd February called 'May Fortune Find You' that rewards:

For completing challenges as part of the Lantern Rite events you'll earn Festive Fever points. Earning enough Festive Fever is how you unlock the overarching rewards available in the event, including a free 4-Star Liyue character.

Once you have enough Festive Fever to get a reward, you'll need to navigate to the 'Events' sub menu and press the button or touch the screen where your Festive Fever is displayed on the Lantern Rite section. You can then claim any reward you have earned enough points to get.

You have until Monday, 6th February at 4am (server time) to earn Festive Fever and claim your rewards from both the event shop, and each individual event.
