Get access to the Ever Moving Picture event
Access to the event requires meeting a couple of conditions:
- Reach adventure rank 18.
- Finish the Archon quest A Song of Dragon Freedom.
After meeting these goals, a section with the event name appears in the event log. Select the task to begin The Always Moving Image and unlock the first challenge.
Travel to Mondstadt and speak with Felix Yogi at Cours de la Fontaine. He explains his plan to traverse Teyvat and sell Dynamic Cores. To showcase these devices, Felix created special toys named the Eternal Moving Picture.
Along the way to Mondstadt, foes overwhelm the caravan and steal the mechanism. Leave the city gates to recover Felix’s lost items. The optimal destination is near the nearest teleport waypoint.
Confront Hilichurls and one Shaman churl. Explosive barrels around the camp help clear enemies. After defeating foes, deliver the parts box back to Felix.
To start the test, speak with Felix again and choose the option Restore the details of the mechanical image.
Rewards include Source stones (30), Hero experience (3), and Mora (30,000).
How to restore the details of a mechanical image. Test Rules
Six challenges become available every 24 hours. The objective is to align several gears so they interact and spin the final driven gear. Each trial presents a different arrangement of mechanisms.
The diagrams show free rods where gears can be placed. On the screen’s right, parts of various sizes are available for use. Players can adjust gear height if needed. For example, if one driven gear sits at the highest level, select the mechanism and click Place at the highest level near the bottom right of the screen.
