How do I complete the Time and Wind quest in Genshin Impact?

The Time and Wind quest in Genshin Impact is a hidden world quest that takes place on the uninhabited island northeast of Mondstadt. This quest involves solving puzzles, battling enemies, and using elemental abilities to uncover the secrets of the island. Here is a detailed guide to help you complete the quest efficiently.

To start the quest, you need to reach the uninhabited island. The island is located far northeast of Starsnatch Cliff. You can reach it by gliding from Starsnatch Cliff, but this requires a lot of stamina. Alternatively, you can use KaeyaÔÇÖs ice bridge ability or a character like Mona or Ayaka who can traverse water more efficiently. Once you arrive on the island, look for a broken sundial near the center. Interacting with the sundial will trigger the quest.

The first step is to investigate the sundial. You will notice that the sundial has a glowing spot at a specific time of day. To progress, you need to adjust the in-game time to between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM. During this time, use an Anemo ability (like the TravelerÔÇÖs Elemental Skill or JeanÔÇÖs Gale Blade) on the glowing spot to reveal a wind current. Follow the wind current to a nearby platform where you will find a cluster of Anemo particles. Collect these particles to reveal a hidden Seelie.

The Seelie will lead you to another location on the island. Follow it and defeat the Hilichurls that appear. After defeating the enemies, the Seelie will return to its pedestal, revealing another glowing spot on the sundial. Repeat the process of adjusting the time to between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM and using an Anemo ability on the glowing spot. This will reveal another wind current leading to a higher platform. Collect the Anemo particles there to reveal another Seelie.

Follow the second Seelie to a new location and defeat the enemies that appear. This time, you will face a Ruin Guard. Defeating the Ruin Guard will cause the Seelie to return to its pedestal, revealing the final glowing spot on the sundial. Adjust the time again and use an Anemo ability on the glowing spot to reveal the final wind current. This wind current will take you to a high platform where you will face an Eye of the Storm.

The Eye of the Storm is a flying enemy that is immune to physical attacks. To defeat it, use ranged characters like Fischl, Amber, or Lisa to deal damage. The Eye of the Storm will summon wind currents and tornadoes, so be prepared to dodge and use healing abilities if necessary. Once the Eye of the Storm is defeated, the quest will be complete, and you will receive rewards including Primogems, Mora, and Adventure EXP.

Here are some important tips and considerations for completing the Time and Wind quest. First, make sure you have enough stamina to reach the island. If you are low on stamina, consider using food items like Sticky Honey Roast or Northern Smoked Chicken to increase your stamina regeneration. Second, bring characters with Anemo abilities, as they are essential for revealing the wind currents. Third, be prepared for combat, as you will face multiple waves of enemies including a Ruin Guard and an Eye of the Storm.

Common mistakes to avoid include not adjusting the in-game time correctly, which will prevent the glowing spots from appearing on the sundial. Also, make sure to follow the Seelie carefully, as it can be easy to lose track of it in the open environment. Finally, do not underestimate the Eye of the Storm, as it can deal significant damage if you are not careful.

For team composition, consider bringing a mix of ranged and melee characters. Characters like Fischl, Amber, and Lisa are useful for dealing with the Eye of the Storm, while characters like Diluc, Keqing, or Razor can handle the Ruin Guard and other enemies. A healer like Barbara or Qiqi is also recommended to keep your team healthy during combat.

In terms of artifacts and weapons, prioritize those that boost elemental damage and energy recharge. For example, the Viridescent Venerer set is ideal for Anemo characters, while the Thundering Fury set is great for Electro characters like Fischl or Lisa. Weapons like the Skyward Harp or AmosÔÇÖ Bow are excellent for ranged characters, while the Prototype Archaic or WolfÔÇÖs Gravestone are good options for melee characters.

By following these steps and tips, you should be able to complete the Time and Wind quest efficiently and enjoy the rewards it offers. Good luck, and happy exploring!
