Genshin Impact’s Hues of the Violet Garden event opens Inazuma to the rest of Teyvat with the Magnificent Irodori Festival. It runs from April 7, 2022, to April 25, 2022, and is open to all players Adventure Rank 30 and above who have completed the Ritou Escape Plan segment of the Archon Quest: Chapter II: Act I - The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia.
If you have not completed the Inazuma character Story Quests, you must access the event from the Quick Start button on the bottom left of the event menu.
The Moon and Stars Inscribe Day Two: Friendship
After completing Irodori Poetry: Part 1, you can start the second installment of the series by talking to Ootomo and Lenne in Ritou. They will ask you to take four photos of local Inazuman wildlife. Like the previous quest, you must use the camera from the lefthand panel of the game menu to take photos, not the Kamera Gadget.
You can opt to find the creatures on your own by going through our guide on all the Omni-Ubiquity Net animal locations in Inazuma. However, this quest allows you to take photos of some non-capturable animals as well, such as cats.
Here are some easy spots for wildlife photography. Keep in mind that you can only take a photo of each creature once, as all four need to be unique. Be careful not to startle the animals, or they’ll run away before you can snap a shot!
Fox
You’ll find a fox staring out into the water south of Byakko Plain. If you fail to take a photo of it, you can find another staring at a rock slightly to the left.
Electro Crystalfly
You’ll find three Electro Crystalflies slightly north of the foxes in Byakko Plain. Make sure to take a photo of them from a distance to not startle them—or use Sayu, as her passive will prevent the Crystalflies from flying away.
Cat
Asase Shrine is home to a plethora of feline friends, so make sure to stop over to take a photo of your favorite cat. Unfortunately, Neko doesn’t count.
Crane
Head to Watatsumi Island’s eastmost islet, south of Suigetsu Pool. Stay on the same elevation as the Teleport Waypoint, where you’ll spot a crane from a distance. You need to be careful and take a photo from far away as birds are easily startled. Alternatively, use Aloy, as her passive prevents animals that drop fowl from getting startled.
Crab
Head to the Teleport Waypoint to the right of Bourou Village, where you’ll find a crab near the Ley Line Outcrop. Be careful as crabs run fast, so take a photo from a distance.
What Poem Stanza Should You Choose?
After getting all four photos of unique wildlife, head back to Ritou to turn in your progress. You’ll be asked to choose a stanza to complete the poem. Your preferred stanza has no effect on the reward, so you don’t have to aim for specific animals either. After completing Irodori Poetry: Part 2, make sure to claim additional Primogems plus other rewards from the Event Details as well.
