Over the rainbow, over the waves Genshin impact — a world task in which you will meet a representative of the People of the Springs and help him with the arrangement of a training ground for surfing, designed to "ignite the spirit of struggle" in the hearts of local residents. Combine efforts, install wooden dummies and personally test all the obstacles.
In this guide, we will tell you how to complete the quest “Over the Rainbow, Over the Waves!” and the surfing platform and spiritual path test, collecting all the particles and spheres to get the hidden achievement Light on the Lake.
How to start the quest Over the rainbow, over the waves
To start the task “Over the rainbow, over the waves!” you need to:
- to reach 28 adventure ranks;
- open region Natlan.
Go to the Toyek Creeks area and find a man named Rongo on one of the southern islands of the Waters of Ameyalco location. Talk to him to accept the quest.

Rongo shares his concerns about the fact that the current inhabitants of the People of the Springs have "gone cold". In his opinion, regular surfing training will help to rekindle it and re-promote the tribe among others. To this end, the man personally took up the creation of a suitable platform. Having installed several devices on the water south of the village, Rongo is ready to open the platform to locals, but first it needs to be tested.
Help Rongo drive away the birds of the currents
Before testing the new site, Rongo will ask to chase away the current birds that have taken a fancy to the obstacles and ramps installed on the water. The plump and clumsy creatures can become a serious danger to young surfers, and therefore they will have to be weaned off resting on sports equipment.
In total, you will encounter six birds on the water:
- two - on the wooden crossbar closest to Rongo;
- one on the turnstiles a little further;
- a bird in an inflatable ring between obstacles;
- the last one on the diving board near the shore.
To drive away birds, take shape Koholasaurus, using the soul torch on the shore. Go down into the water and approach any of the points where the creatures are sitting. Jump towards them and simultaneously activate the strike to perform a powerful lunge that is guaranteed to knock the bird off its perch. Do this trick with all the creatures on the platform.
Before you knock the bird off the surfboard, take the shiny shell lying on it. This item is related to the quest and will be useful a little later.
Complete the Surfing Ground Challenge
Right after clearing the area, Rongo will offer to start the test. During the run, collect 25 Pyro Particles in 10 minutes by moving between obstacles on the water. To the test, take the form of a Koholasaurus again and descend into the water from the platform where Rongo is standing. From there, swim to the nearest crossbar and jump over it.
Turn left and make another jump over the beam. Then swim forward, go under the barrier and jump onto the surfboard.
Then head down to the bright blue vortex that appears nearby. Enter it and jump to get airborne and collect the remaining Pyro Particles.
Rongo will thank you for your help, but will share his opinion that the site could be even better if the spiritual paths located somewhere nearby were repaired and launched. For the completed task, the man will give another shiny shell, and also leave an ordinary chest as a reward.
Look for a way to repair Spiritual Doors nearby
To repair the Spirit Paths, climb the mountain behind Rongo and examine the glowing point near the painted columns. If there are enemies nearby, defeat them first.
Pick up the third shiny shell near the stone pillars and then choose the option "Place", to place the found items on a kind of altar.
Read the ancient inscription restored with the shells and return to the man on the shore.
Check the status of the Great Training Ground of the People of the Springs
Talk to Rongo and tell him that you managed to open the Spiritual Door. The man will thank you again for your help and suggest that you return to him tomorrow to see the result.
Wait for the new day to arrive by doing other things or rewinding time via Paimon's menu. Talk to Rongo again to see the updated sports field.
Complete the Spiritual Path Challenge
Rongo will offer to another test on a new platform: complete all the goals and reach the finish line in 5 minutes. After the start, take the form of a coholasaurus and go down into the water. During the race, you will need to collect 120 Shining Spheres and reach the finish line, which will only open after completing the first goal.
The number of Shining Spheres scattered around the updated area is significant exceeds needed to complete the challenge. Navigate through water and jump over obstacles to collect items, and as you run, new spheres and interaction opportunities will appear on the field. To speed up the collection of items, we recommend paying attention to blue funnels. They will allow you to make a high jump and instantly get a large number of spheres.
Even more orbs will be brought by Spiritual Paths that periodically appear on the platform. When you see an orange glow in the air, jump into it to enter the flow and get many collectibles.
Once you've finished collecting the Radiant Orbs, return to Rongo to complete the quest and earn the achievement. "Light on the Lake" and a precious chest as a gift.

What should I do if I can't talk to him?
I don't have a blue exclamation mark, even though I haven't completed the quest and I only have 2 shells.
if someone's place near the mountain is not highlighted, but there are definitely 3 shells in the inventory, re-enter the game and/or rewind time to the morning through the Paimon menu. for me it still hasn't started to highlight, but the "place" option has appeared.
When I jump off the first path, I miss the sphere (the zavrian flies higher, I just can't take it)
During the second, more difficult test, 5 spheres before 120, something apparently bugged me and the last spiritual path did not spawn at all, I had to go through it again 🙁 On the second attempt everything was fine, so keep that in mind
Same thing, restarted and everything went away, thank goodness.
But what to do if there is no enemy on the mountain and no shells either?
Most likely they already took it. Try to check the place on a new day according to the server time or write to technical .
My quest is bugged, what should I do?
At what point?
Instead of six, five were counted, but there are no more birds
A common problem, these birds are very buggy, they can even drown themselves before the quest. It is definitely not in the inflatable ring? Otherwise, I can advise you to wait, for example, one real day to wait for the servers to reset and, possibly, the birds to respawn. If this does not help, then try to select the "Restore" function in the game launcher.
You need to return one bird that left the quest location back to the quest area and kick it
Thank you!
Thank you, with your help I was able to
It is better to knock down two birds at once, otherwise the quest may get bugged (twice =.=), and after re-entering it will start over. Also, any of the birds can fall into the water and not be counted immediately, only after a second push.
