Learn how to navigate Genshin Impact's tricky Wind Barriers in the Gliding Challenge event. Get tips on collecting Insignias and reaching the goal to score that Gold Medal!

Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon the Gliding Challenge in Genshin Impact, and day four throws a new curveball at you: Wind Breakers. These are these weird rings that block wind, so you'll want to avoid them if you're aiming for that Gold Medal. The course kicks off east of Taishan Mansion in Jueyun Karst, Liyue. There's a handy Waypoint right next to it, so you can't miss the start!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by following the first particle trail. You'll soon hit your first Wind Breaker. You can either go around it or fly over. For this one, just head around the side and snag the 1st Insignia.
  2. 2
    Keep following the particle trail, using your Sprints to maintain height. You'll pass another Wind Breaker – again, go around the side. Then, loop back to the rings to grab the 2nd Insignia.
  3. 3
    Just past the next Wind Breaker, keep an eye on the ground. You'll spot a sneaky 3rd Insignia hidden there. You'll need to drop down to grab it. Luckily, there's a gust of wind right after it that'll lift you back into the sky.
  4. 4
    Fly through the next set of rings. As you get close to the next Wind Breaker, use your Ascend ability to go *above* it and collect the 4th Insignia.
  5. 5
    Continue on and you'll see two sets of rings: one on the left, one on the right. Take the right-hand path, soar up, and grab the 5th and final Insignia.
  6. 6
    From here, it's just a few more rings until the Goal. You'll encounter one last Wind Breaker, so just avoid it and drop down to finish the course.
Tips
  • Remember, Wind Breakers block wind. If you're trying to maintain speed or height using wind currents, you'll need to find a way around or over them.
  • Dropping down for Insignias can be risky, but the wind gusts usually provide a quick way back up. Just be ready to use them!
  • Don't forget to use Sprints to keep your momentum and Ascend to gain height when needed, especially when dealing with the Wind Breakers.

Successfully completing the course with the Gold Medal requirements will earn you rewards. Specific rewards aren't listed here, but typically Gliding Challenges offer Primogems, Mora, and Adventure EXP.
