How to play The Peaks and Troughs of Life event in Genshin Impact

Head to the event Domain marked by a unique icon south of the Beryl Region, where you can begin playing through five stages that unlock throughout the event period.

Difficulty Selector

Upon selecting a stage, you’ll get an overview of the Monster List and Buff Modulesfor each roundto help you prepare appropriate parties. You’ll also be able tochange the difficulty based on the Score Multiplier. Suppose you’re a casual player and only care about the Primogem rewards. In that case, I suggest sticking with the x1 Multiplier as the mobs are very easy to kill, and you’ll be able to get enough points for the important Primos.

Party and Buff Modules

There are three rounds for each stage, so you can set up three parties tailor-fitted to go against each enemy lineup.You can repeat characters, so don’t worry about not having 12 unique units to fill the teams. You’ll also be provided with trial characters who align with the Buff Modules for each stage, so feel free to use them.

Something to keep in mind is thateach character will provide you with Load, which is used to get Buff Modules for the stage.

Assuming you don’t repeat any character, you can get a total of 650 Load, which is more than enough to get two Level 2 Buff Modules per team. I didn’t feel that the Level 2 Buff Modules make a big difference, so feel free to repeat your characters.

After setting up your parties, you can proceed with choosing Buff Modules. You can pick up to two Buff Modules per party, and each costs 40 Load (Level 1) or 100 Load (Level 2).
