In Genshin Impact’s 1.3 update event Five Flushes of Fortune, players are tasked with taking photographs of objects across Teyvat in order to exchange them for daily rewards. The event takes place from February 3rd to February 10th, but Genshin Impact players with leftover photos can still claim rewards up until February 13th.
The first step in starting the event is to find Ji Tong’s location on the map which is marked by a camera icon. Once players have found Ji Tong, interact with the character to receive the Kurious Kamera, which is added to the player’s inventory in the gadget tab. It is important to note that to be eligible for the event players must reach adventure rank 20.
When the player receives the camera, Ji Tong explains how he wants them to take pictures of objects with a strong color. There are five different colors of which Ji Tong wants photos. These include; crimson (red), ocher (brown), pale gold (yellow), ultramarine (blue), and purple aster (purple).
Each day, players have the opportunity to turn in one of each of the aforementioned phototypes to receive a Fortune Trove. Inside the Fortune Trove, players will receive a guaranteed 60 primogems, in addition to either 12 Heroes Wit, 24 Mystic Enhancement Ore, or 120,000 Mora.
To take a photo of an object, equip the Kurious Kamera in the gadget tab and look through the lens by pressing either L1+O or via the shortcut wheel. It is important to note that there is no button to manually take a photo of an object. As soon as the player is looking through the lens of the Kurious Kamera, it will target the object in the frame and automatically take a photo of it.
Because players only have the opportunity to take 10 photos a day, they should optimally position themselves before looking through the lens of the camera to prevent taking a picture of a different color object.
Two primary factors can influence the color of the photos through the Kurious Kamera- the color of the object, and the time of day. For example, players might take a picture of a Sunsettia Apple during the day a receive a Pale Gold photo but may receive an Ultramarine photo if the picture is taken at night.
While both of these factors appear to play a role in the resulting color obtained in a picture, many players have reported that in several instances the color obtained from photographs appears to be random. Listed below are several objects and locations to help players collect one of each color type to submit to Ji Tong.
Crimson: arguably one of the easiest color types to obtain from the event and can be received by taking pictures of; Windwheel Aster, Jueyun Chili, Silk Flowers, or Valberries.
Pale Gold: can be obtained by taking a picture of Sunsettias during the day or Jueyun Chilis at dusk.
Ocher: can be obtained by taking a picture of an extinguished flaming flower during the day or of Sunsettias at dusk.
Purple Aster: one of the more difficult colors to obtain can be found by taking a picture of an extinguished flaming flower at night.
Ultramarine Blue: can be obtained by taking pictures of hydro slimes, ice enemies in Dragonspine, or from either the flaming flower or sunsettia at night.
Additionally, players can trade any used phototypes that they have in their inventory with friends in order to claim their daily Fortune Trove.
Genshin Impact is available now on the App Store, Google Play, PC, and PS4, and is currently in development for PS5 and Switch.
