Guide for the Akitsu Garpastum event
During the trials, Akitsu Harpastum will have to enter the playing field and fight against a certain yokai who fires master balls from a cannon. Using a special platform in the form of a bat, hit the balls towards the enemy to inflict damage and win. Periodically, obstacles in the form of static or moving blocks will appear on the playing field, significantly complicating the battle. Dodge them or destroy them with the master ball, hitting it towards the blocks.
To win, follow the movements of the ball released by the opponent, pick up power-ups that appear on the playing field, and make perfect hits on the projectile to cause more damage. A perfect hit is one made when the flying ball is within walking distance of the player: not too far and not too close to hit with a bat. If the ball gets too close to the hero, it will cause damage, taking away 1 unit of life force. For each level of the challenge, there is a t mode.
How to Complete Akitsu Harpastum: Double Dreams in Genshin Impact
The event consists of five mini-games that open every day.
Spinning Sand Tanuki
The first stage of the mini-game with balls is aimed at familiarizing yourself with the tools and structures that periodically appear on the battlefield. As part of the challenge, you need to reflect flying projectiles at the Yokai standing on the field in order to complete the round within the specified time and collect all the additional rewards. To throw the ball back at the enemy, run up to him and press or hold left mouse button.
- White balls can be parried with regular strikes.
- Red shells must be reflected by clamped attacks, which can be accumulated during the character's run on the field. Hold the button for a while until the bat glows next to the hero and the ball enters a convenient zone, then release the key.
Sometimes healing particles will appear on the field, which can be used to restore life force if the "hearts" at the bottom of the screen were used up during the trial. Defeat the Harpastum Yokai to complete the stage.
Impetuous Tanuki
At the new stage there will be blue balls, which must be sent towards the yokai with charged attacks. Otherwise, the flying projectiles will crash into the surface or injure the active character if he stands in the trajectory of the fall.
The challenge stands out for its dynamism due to the fact that the balls fall at different distances and fly at different speeds. For a comfortable game, try to pick up the appearing acceleration and collect a combo of the reflected projectiles to get a buff to normal hits. To fulfill all the requirements of the challenge, try not to deplete the vitality to zero and lower the health value of the ekai in 120 seconds.
Rumbling Red Tanuki
The third day's challenge is made more difficult by adding new blocks and purple balls. Harpastum flies along a twisted trajectory and during the flight deviates either to the right or to the left. You can understand where the ball is flying in the middle of its movement, thanks to which you can run to the necessary point. Such projectiles must be repelled with normal attacks and sent towards the red tanuki.
In addition to the new type of balls, the level can be found red blocks that appear in the air. If an active character falls under the structures, he will lose one cell of life force. No It is recommended to stand next to the blocks, as they explode after some time and deplete the hero's health bar.
The level contains blue and red balls that need to be deflected with charged attacks. Watch the projectiles carefully and try to defeat the tanuki in 120 seconds to get additional rewards.
Constantly transforming tanuki
In the test with the transforming tanuki, you can encounter purple, blue and regular white balls that must be reflected with basic attacks. Also, at the very beginning of the battle, the enemy releases red projectiles that can only be reflected with charged attacks.
After 44 seconds of testing, the tanuki can start releasing a wave of blocks that take away the hero's health upon impact. Stand near the wall closer to the edge of the field and wait out the enemy's attack phase.
Bang-king
In the final test, you can encounter a purple bull-shaped ball that can only be deflected with a charged rebound. If you miss this projectile, it will break and leave a zone on the floor that slows down the character.
The level contains white, blue, and purple harpastums, which are repelled with regular attacks. Red balls must be sent to the King Babah with a charged rebound. Try to stand exactly where the projectile falls or flies and rebound it back to the tanuki, otherwise the ball may fly outside the arena and not hit the boss.
In the middle of the battle, the Boom King will start sending out blocks that move along a random trajectory. Watch out for a row of cubes and move to a safe zone in advance to avoid losing life force from the collision. Red blocks may also appear on the level that explode after a while.
