Festive Challenges is a part of the Invitation of Windblume Event in Version 1.4.
Bullseye Balloons []
Requirement[]
- Complete World Quest Bullseye Balloons
Description[]
Shoot the balloons as quickly and as accurately as you can to reach a high score!
Archery contests are a Windblume Festival tradition that commemorate the early days of Mondstadt, an age of pioneering and hunting...
Challenging archery competitions have also been prepared for this year's Windblume Festival.
Those who are well-versed in these arts will, naturally, be able to win the prizes and wow the residents of Mondstadt...
Balloon Types[]
Tutorial[]
During the Windblume Festival, corresponding event billboards will display the challenge locations for Bullseye Balloons. Once the challenge has begun, participants must accumulate points by shooting the right balloons down in succession. Only Normal and Charged Attacks can be used to shoot these balloons down (Aimed Shots are counted as Charged Attacks). The challenge will end once time runs out.
Different balloons will produce different effects when hit. The green Bloom Balloon will award points, while the orange Bouquet Balloons will provide a large number of points. Aside from this, the Celebration Balloons will explode and destroy surrounding balloons when popped, while the similar-looking Heartbreak Balloons will deduct points when popped. Hit multiple balloons in a short period of time to accumulate Combo, which will increase the number of points awarded for each hit. Hitting a Heartbreak Balloon will interrupt your current combo.
You can also enter Bullseye Balloons with friends in Co-Op sessions to test your shooting skills against each other.
Challenges[]
Tower Waltz[]
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward |
---|---|---|---|
Balloon Hunter (Mona) | If I get a high score, I should be able to win a nice prize... But I only had a little salad for lunch — the bowstring feels so heavy... | 1000 | |
Balloon Bane (Jean) | When Mondstadt was first founded, archery was a basic skill. People hunted in order to survive. | 1800 | |
Balloon Scourge (Venti) | Ha, are you sure this is a challenge? That balloon is so huge! Why don't we... compete to see who can shoot the stem off an apple and have it drop to the ground without blemish? | 2600 |
Temple Spiral[]
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward |
---|---|---|---|
Balloon Hunter (Lisa) | Jean is very serious about the meaning passed down through this game, so I guess I shouldn't take it too lightly. Let's shoot a few Bouquet Balloons down, and then we can go back and make afternoon tea. | 1200 | |
Balloon Bane (Diluc) | It takes a long period of training to become a battle-ready archer. These games are only enough to pass the time. | 2200 | |
Balloon Scourge (Klee) | Ugh, this bow is soooo hard to use, I just don't have the strength... But if I tied a mini-Jumpy Dumpty to the back of the arrow to make it fly it should go waaaaay further, right? It could even blow all those balloons up! | 3200 |
Heart of the Lake[]
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward |
---|---|---|---|
Balloon Hunter (Sucrose) | I still need to conduct more research and undertake more training before I can use a bow, and even then, I think that my skills can only come into play in this game. My bone specimens are all collected... and I don't usually get the opportunity, or feel the need to go hunting... | 1600 | |
Balloon Bane (Razor) | Flying... long metal branch. Very strong. But claws, stronger. | 2800 | |
Balloon Scourge (Fischl) | Fischl: "O sorcerous bolt of sacred judgement, hear one's will and surge forth! Render as dust all falsehoods within your sight!" Oz: "Splendid shooting Mein Fräulein! But is it really proper for me to support you from the side in this manner?" |
4000 |
Lost in the Forest[]
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward |
---|---|---|---|
Balloon Hunter (Bennett) | Familiarizing myself with the weapons that other adventurers use allows me to better myself, and it is also my duty as an adventure team leader! My current score is nothing to brag about... I have to give it all I've got! | 1000 | |
Balloon Bane (Amber) | Might have missed a few balloons back there... but it's about having fun, not about seeing who scores higher or lower! | 2000 | |
Balloon Scourge (Diona) | Why, if you asked me to set the rules, I'd have everyone run and shoot at the same time! I mean, that's what it's like when we go hunting! | 3000 |
Floral Freefall []
Requirement[]
- Complete World Quest Floral Freefall
Description[]
Glide down through the air and collect the Flower Balls!
Leap from great heights using wind gliders, catch the flower balls that billow about in the wind, and descend amidst gorgeous garlands...
This celebratory activity is much-loved by adventurers. In the words of Mondstadt's poets, the feeling of slowly descending from the skies is akin to becoming a flower in the wind.
Of course, you will need a gliding license to take part in Floral Freefall. But the Knights of Favonius are quite happy to close one eye to such matters when it comes to a festival of such size and joy...
Flower Balls[]
Tutorial[]
During the Windblume Festival, corresponding event billboards will display the challenge locations for Floral Freefall. Once the challenge has begun, participants will descend from a platform in the sky and collect a variety of Flower Balls to obtain and accumulate points. Touching the ground or running out of time will end the challenge.
Collect different types of Flower Balls to obtain different amounts of points. Of these, the green Fluorescent Flowerballs are worth 35 points, while the Honey-Petal Crowns made from orange Windwheel Asters are worth 200 points. The elaborate Finish Line Garland is worth 400 points. Aside from this, your remaining time will be converted into points once you complete the challenge. Each second remaining is worth 10 points.
You can also enter Floral Freefall with friends in Co-Op sessions and compete with one another.
Locations[]
Falcon Coast[]
Dusty Balloon: Explodes when hit, creating a dust cloud that obstructs vision
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward |
---|---|---|---|
Journeyman Drifter (Kaeya) | Oh dear, is this what they call a height advantage? I suppose I can go a little easy on you all to make things a bit more exciting. | 1000 | |
Master Glider (Fischl) | Fischl: "Behold, the sight of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung as she descends from the darkling heavens amid the profuse flowering of ideals — how like it is unto the descent of a savior of the mortal realms!" Oz: "If I may impose, mein Fräulein, please refrain from grabbing my wings to perform tight turns. I fear that my feathers might fall off..." |
2000 | |
"Favored of the Four Winds" (Amber) | As the Gliding Champion of Mondstadt, nothing but a high score will do for this challenge! Still, you've really improved at a frightening rate, Honorary Knight! | 3000 |
Windrise[]
Boom Balloon: Explodes when hit, knocking the player away
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward |
---|---|---|---|
Journeyman Drifter (Sucrose) | I have to practice my gliding skills even while I try to get a high score. That way, I should be able to glide my way to usually impassable areas to collect research samples... | 1000 | |
Master Glider (Klee) | Jumping down looks so fun! I want to play some more! But, uh... could I leave my pack and Dodoco with you, Honorary Knight? | 2000 | |
"Favored of the Four Winds" (Venti) | Just collecting flower balls and garlands won't be quite enough to capture the true joys of flying! Maybe feeding some birds in mid-air would feel even freer? | 3000 |
Brightcrown Canyon[]
Wind Ring Balloon: Create a downward air current when hit
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward |
---|---|---|---|
Journeyman Drifter (Noelle) | My stomach's a little... heavy, but I'll try to make up for it. Gliding is a necessary skill for a knight, after all! | 1000 | |
Master Glider (Albedo) | The winds that blow from all sides have the scent of new sprouts and buds, bringing finches and crystalflies that surround me. Ah... this really is a ritual filled with life. | 2000 | |
"Favored of the Four Winds" (Jean) | The techniques used during this game can also be used in battle. I find it most meaningful. Getting a high score would be most praiseworthy, too. | 3000 |
Stormterror's Lair[]
Vortex Balloon: Generates a vortex when hit, pulling in the player within an AoE around it
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward |
---|---|---|---|
Journeyman Drifter (Barbara) | Hmm, I've got it! Maybe I'll take the stage on a glider next time! I wonder if that'll add some freshness to the performance... | 1000 | |
Master Glider (Diona) | My tail stabilizes me as I fall, so no wind glider, no worries! It's just... it's just that my hands are too short, and I miss the flower balls sometimes... Urgh. | 2000 | |
"Favored of the Four Winds" (Mona) | Hmm, the distribution of these flower crowns... I wonder if they'll produce good results if I combined them with hydromancy? Hmm, is this what they call the revelation of the wind? | 3000 |
Ballads of Breeze[]
Requirement[]
- Complete World Quest Ballads of Breeze
Description[]
Want to put your musical ability to the test? Try to keep up with the beat!
Thanks to the influence of poetry and song, the people of Mondstadt are all at least passingly familiar with the art of performing a song they love. The artful transcription of scores, the nimble plucking of strings... these are at the heart of one of the Windblume Festival's long-preserved events: musical competition!
Tutorial[]
You can test your performance skills in "Ballads of Breeze" through the "Invitation of Windblume" event menu. Follow the rhythm and the hints provided by the gradually-shrinking Rhythm Rings to press the corresponding buttons at the right time. Getting the rhythm right will award points. Your performance will be graded afterward according to the points you obtained.
The Rhythm Rings will appear before the beat and will shrink over time. When the Rhythm Ring aligns precisely with the button press area, it is time to press the button and play some music! But get it wrong and you'll miss the beat...
Accurate play allows you to increase the Combo count. When your Combo count reaches a certain point, accurate play will award more points. Watch out though — a missed note will send your Combo count up in smoke...
Notes[]
- On PC (using mouse and keyboard), you can use your mouse to tap the notes, but because some notes are played simultaneously, a keyboard is also required.
- Bonus points are awarded for combos (consecutive notes played successfully):
Combo Multiplier 1-5 None 6-10 Points ×1.3 11-15 Points ×1.6 16+ Points ×2.0
Tracks[]
Celestial Destiny[]
In a travail through the mortal realm, its troubles, twists, and turns can prove frustrating.
But the soft songs that echo through the firmament and the mellow chants of the starry sky will ever guide the feet of Travelers onward...

74 | 2,750 | |
Windblume Laureate (Venti) | The techniques of playing the lyre are a bard's secret. If we were to combine it all into a textbook, we could probably create a new field of study altogether! | 1800 | Leggiero: 0+ Euphonia: 1800+ Dulcem: 3000+ Discantus: 3600+ |
99 | 3,750 |
Early Dawn[]
Ragnvindr once lifted the curtain of dawn over Mondstadt, singing the high song of liberation.
When the dust of warfare settled, the sword-wielding knight would return home, watching the winery and tending to the peaceful orchards, waiting for the coming of every first light of dawn...

55 | 1,990 | |
Rising Star (Lisa) | Soothing music really helps me relax... Now, if a certain cutie would volunteer to be my private musician and play me a lullaby, that would be even better. | 1200 | Leggiero: 0+ Euphonia: 1200+ Dulcem: 2200+ Discantus: 2600+ |
74 | 2,750 | |
Windblume Laureate (Diluc) | I do know how to play music. Is it so strange? | 1800 | Leggiero: 0+ Euphonia: 1800+ Dulcem: 2800+ Discantus: 3600+ |
96 | 3,630 |
Fondest Strength[]
There is an unspoken rule that runs through the Knights of Favonius: treat one's comrades with the utmost gentleness and acceptance, till they know one another as they know themselves.
That way, they shall aid each other in their travels, rather than cause the other to stumble...
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward | Ranks | Maximum Combo | Maximum Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Musical Hobbyist (Bennett) | If I learn a few awesome tunes, will it help raise my teammates' spirits? Well, it might at least bring a smile to their faces when we're down on our luck! | 1000 | Leggiero: 0+ Euphonia: 1000+ Dulcem: 1600+ Discantus: 2000+ |
57 | 2,070 | |
Rising Star (Kaeya) | What an interesting diversion. Since everyone's in high spirits, it would truly be a shame if I didn't pitch in a little! | 1400 | Leggiero: 0+ Euphonia: 1400+ Dulcem: 2400+ Discantus: 3000+ |
84 | 3,150 | |

125 | 4,790 |
Frost Parable[]
If one arises and looks to the south from Mondstadt, one will gaze upon Dragonspine, the mountain of long-buried secrets that covers sky and sea like a towering white wall. But though the bitter cold is frightening indeed, the footsteps of those that seek truth will not be turned back, not even by the frigid winds...
Difficulty | Description | Points | Reward | Ranks | Maximum Combo | Maximum Points |

Musical Hobbyist (Mona) | Music and astrology share some similarities. As such, understanding its principles is nothing short of elementary. I just need a bit of time to familiarize myself with this instrument... | 1000 | Leggiero: 0+ Euphonia: 1000+ Dulcem: 1800+ Discantus: 2200+ |
64 | 2,350 | |
Rising Star (Jean) | Poetry and music are both much-beloved by the citizens of Mondstadt, and the Knights, naturally, share this enjoyment. As the Acting Grand Master, I sometimes represent us at celebrations, so I do know a few rudimentary tunes. | 1400 | Leggiero: 0+ Euphonia: 1400+ Dulcem: 2400+ Discantus: 3000+ |
84 | 3,150 | |
Windblume Laureate (Albedo) | I've never practiced any instruments, but I've sometimes heard the distant sounds of the lyre while sketching outdoors. I suppose I could try to play a tune from memory and intuition. | 2400 | Leggiero: 0+ Euphonia: 2400+ Dulcem: 4000+ Discantus: 5000+ |
