Following the Wind: Strategy in Genshin impact is a hide-and-seek event in which players are divided into teams, receiving unique abilities for camouflage and search. One of the few multiplayer events in which travelers can face real opponents, or team up with friends to have a good time.
In this guide, we'll show you the best places to hide in Strategy, share tips for playing as hunters and rebels, and talk about all the mechanics, including observation zones and signaling devices.
Event dates and conditions of participation
How to start Following the Wind: Strategy in Genshin Impact 4.6
Open the event in the event menu and either immediately go to Mondstadt, where you will see an NPC mark on the map.
Talk with Gygax, which will explain the new rules of the game: now captured rebels are not immediately eliminated from the game, but to win they need to activate 4 signal devices out of 5.
Agree to play immediately or later. In the second case, simply return to the man and tell him about your desire to start the event.
How to open playing places for the event Following the Wind: Strategy
There are only four playable maps in event version 4.6. The most important - unlock Archon Statues in all regions. You can only play hide and seek in those areas of Mondstadt, Li Yue and Inazuma that were opened by activating local statues. To access the Inazuma arenas you must complete quest "Ritou Escape Plan". Available playable areas can be viewed on the Contested Land page.
Can you play hide and seek with a friend?
You can play hide and seek with friends, if there are no more than two of them. All three or two people will automatically fall into the rebel category. If the group consists entirely of familiar players, then rewards in the form of hidden coins will not be given. To play with a friend, invite him to your world, and then NPC Gygax and start the game.
Guide to the Following the Wind event in Genshin Impact 4.6
The main essence of the event is the division of participants into Hunters and Rebels. The first will seek, the second will hide. At the same time, each side is offered unique skills that expand the possibilities within the framework of this mini-game.
You can choose a hero and a set of his skills before the start of the game:
Featured Characters
The developers have fixed the ability to use alternative sprint talents in the event (like Ayaki). At the same time, it is not forbidden to use:
- Xiao – reduced stamina consumption when climbing;
- Candace – reduced stamina consumption when climbing;
- Razora – reduced consumption of endurance when running;
- Kayu – reduced consumption of endurance when running;
- low characters - Nahidu.
This will allow you to sprint more often when exploring the play area and make it easier to hide behind bushes and buildings.
How to play Rebels
Players assigned to the role of the Rebel must hide until the end of time, running away from the Hunter. The number of hidden coins received increases with the duration of successful disguise. Additionally, to win you need to repair signaling devices.
Hiding Party skills allow you to disguise yourself as various objects on the map, as well as place decoys or become invisible for a while. These skills will appear instead of the standard skills for the selected character:
- Elemental Skill - Disguise. A short press turns the hero into a random small object within the game location. Long - removes disguise, repeated - changes the subject.
- Normal attack (optional) – Beacon of invisibility (in the area of the beacon the character becomes invisible to all players). If the Hunter destroys the beacon (it was placed as a bait earlier), his vision will be obstructed due to dirt.
- Normal attack (optional) – Invisibility (becomes temporarily invisible to the Hunter).
- Explosion of the elements - The flight of a star. Movement speed is greatly increased for 30 seconds. Charges a secret move by collecting Courtesies.
If the Rebel is caught, then he can still continue the game and help your team by moving around the map like an invisible ghost. For this he has the ability ghost beacon, which will allow you to create items that confuse the hunter. If he touches them, then his view will become difficult due to dirt.
The recommended skills when playing as the Rebels are:
- Invisibility. This skill does not bind the hero to a specific location, so you can safely move around the entire area without attracting the attention of the Hunter. Also, since trapped allies can place decoy items to obscure the Hunter's view, there's little need for a Stealth Beacon.
- Disguise.
- Flight of a star.
How to play Hunter
The hunter is looking for the Rebels within the arena. Its unique abilities will reveal the enemy's disguise, instantly trap them, show the player's location, and temporarily block the Rebel's skills.
The amount of Hidden Coins earned from this depends on the speed of capturing the rebels and the number of characters found. Victory is counted when all opponents are found in the allotted time.
It also has a unique set of parameters at its disposal:
- Elemental Skill - Gotcha! Guaranteed to trap a rebel if they are within range of the skill. Has three charges and a small cooldown.
- Normal attack (optional) - Aura of feeling. If a Rebel is in close proximity to the hero, a visual notification will appear. A rebel moving in any direction from the spawned marker does not affect its location. The signal lasts 5 seconds.
- Normal attack (optional) - Sixth Sense. Within a short time, the Hunter sees how to get to each of the Rebels.
- Normal attack (optional) - Hunter's web. Unmarks rebels in an area. Also destroys ghost beacons retired rebels without blurring the view.
- Elemental Explosion (choice of three) - Chains (holds enemies in place), Omniscience (marks enemy points on the map) or Hunter's Intuition (creates marks that point to rebels).
To successfully play as a Hunter, we recommend choosing the following skills:
- Sixth sense. Most relevant, if the Rebels do not so much disguise themselves as objects, but hide in stealth mode.
- Hunter's web. Useful in games where the Rebels use a lot of fake items. The peculiarity of this ability is not only that it breaks the disguise, but also in its provision of clear vision.
- Fetter. It will work great if the Rebels were not under the disguise of any object at the time the skill was activated. However, for greater benefit, it is worth using the ult at the moment when there is at least an assumption where opponents can hide. Otherwise, most of the shackles' time will be spent looking for enemies.
- Omniscience. It shows itself best on simple maps, where there are no several levels. So the skill will reveal itself to the fullest. In those zones where opponents can hide below and above, there will not be much benefit, since it will take a lot of time to determine exactly where the Rebel is hiding.
- Gotcha!
Courtesy
During the round, Courtesies periodically appear in the arena.
One such elemental orb will fully charge the elemental blast.
Surveillance zones
When a hunter catches a rebel, the latter does not leave the game, but is sent to the Observation Zone, from which he can only leave after a certain time has ed. Other players can help get out early if they want. If a player who is already in the Observation Zone for this game is caught, he is eliminated. The number of lives can be easily tracked by the hearts that are located below.
signaling devices
On each map you will find 6 signaling devices. To win, the rebels need to repair 4 of them, but it is worth considering that after repair, the mechanism begins to glow and is displayed on the mini-map, attracting the hunter’s attention.
Locations to play hide and seek
There are several areas within the event where players will have to hide and catch. Disputed lands in the event can be selected on the corresponding page - it is on one of the marked ones that the match will take place. If some of the areas have not been unlocked, you will not be able to play in the locations.
There are four locations in total in version 4.6:
- Confrontation in the gorge.
- War at the distillery.
- Pursuit in ruins.
- Interception on Rito Island.
hidden coins
There is a daily limit on earning these event items, and therefore, to collect the maximum rewards, you will need to play regularly with the fulfillment of a number of conditions. During the event, you can dial up to 6000 Hidden Coins.
The best places to hide in Genshin Impact in the Following the Wind 4.6 event
For games of hide and seek, players are offered several different locations throughout the regions of Teyvat. Each playground has a unique landscape and many secluded places to hide from the Hunter. Below is information on the best places to hide in each area.
War at the distillery
Chair, barrel and miniature lamp - the entire list of forms available to the Rebels for hide and seek at the Dawn Distillery.
In the form of a lantern, climb onto the roof of the mansion. Small ledges above the windows of the distillery will be a very convenient and secluded place to hide and seek.
Interception at Rito Island

| Place to disguise | Tactic |
|---|---|
|

|

|

Confrontation in the Gorge
At the Mondstadt Oration, pretend to be wooden barrels, crates and mannequins.
Since the location is heavily filled with various objects and trees, it is easy to find a suitable place. Hide next to the signal device to easily return to repair it and not attract the attention of the hunter.
Pursuit in ruins
The location is open and does not have many objects, which makes it difficult to find reliable cover.
When pretending to be boxes or lamps, try to position yourself next to natural objects.

The quest NPC Gygax is located in the northern part of the city of Mondstadt, not far from the statue of Anemo Archon and the Goethe Hotel.
Under the rocks
For hide and seek in the Rift Territory, the Rebels are offered forms of massive barrel и boxes.
Climb to the top of the building in the center of the location to get to the canopy or wooden structures. Climbing this area is not easy and takes some time, so with a high probability the Hunter will not even try to get there, trying to catch more accessible targets.
A separate room, located just below the site mentioned above. Access to it opens only from the roof, which is not so easy to climb. If you hide behind the walls, the Rebel will not be visible from any of the points of the entire location.
Choose any small character to play as a Rebel to get into hard-to-reach places under the very roof of the main structure in the location.
Disguise yourself as objects of the environment, hiding among or behind various boxes and barrels inside the building.
Under the waves of the surf
For hide-and-seek on a remote Inazuma island, there are two forms to choose from: tall dead tree и massive stone.
For hide and seek in the form of a stone, any thick bushes scattered around the edges of the location will do.
In the same stone form, you can hide at the point where the stone path ends. The shape is no different from the material from which the track is made.
Pearls among corals
To hide in Sangonomiya Temple grounds, Rebels can use coral shapes и stone lanterns.
A good place to hide and seek will be a small clearing between the wall of shells and the site of the temple itself. Due to the general blue-blue gamut of the point, the shape of the coral can be completely invisible to the Hunter. Also, if the Hunter walks across the terrace of the temple and uses the catch skill, its area of effect will not hit the Rebel, because. he is much lower.
At trees and other blue-blue bushes and grass, blend into the surroundings as coral.
Shadows on the village streets
For hide-and-seek in the Inazuma village, the Rebels are given a choice of three small and very convenient forms: trough, shop и jug.
Any of the forms is very convenient to hide in thick bushes located on the edges of the location. Due to their small size, objects in the foliage are completely invisible.
The smallest form, the pot, can hide under water in the ditches of the village. Get as close as possible to the stone walls to try to blend in with the surroundings. Follow the movements of the Hunter and change position, move from wall to wall to remain invisible.
In the form of an object, and also without disguise by a character of small stature, you can try to climb under one of the bridges over the ditch. Stay in the corner or climb the wall to hide from the Hunter.
Through the depths of the terraces
To hide in Qingce Village, the Rebels can use forms boxes, pots и straw dummies.
Climb up the curved tree behind the village houses to the roof. In the form of a small pot, climb to the highest point and follow the movements of the Hunter. Depending on where he is, move from one side of the roof to the other.
water running
Forms are provided for hide and seek in the Twilight Village baskets, drawer и wooden lantern.
In the form of a miniature basket, climb under one of the wooden platforms near the edge of the map. A hunter ing from above will not be able to detect the Rebel due to the height difference.
Try to hide behind the various houses in the village, or even try to squeeze inside the textures to be sure to hide from the Hunter.
sacred place
In the twilight camp of Fatui, the Rebels will be able to hide in uniforms barrel и boxes.
In the form of a box, climb onto the cart behind Fatui's tent. Make sure the position is as natural as possible.
Gold in the sands
Hiding in the territory of the Hermit camp is proposed in the form barrel, boxes, and small pots.
In the form of a pot, climb a tree at the edge of the location. On one of the bends of the branch, you can sit very comfortably and be hidden by dense foliage.
Partisans in the village
To hide in the Mondstadt Springvale, use the forms hay bale и old box.
Climb onto the roof of the mill, which is in the center of the location. The spinning blades will hide the location from the eyes of the Hunter running below. Another secluded place is the chimney of one of the village houses. A bale of hay is placed in the chimney itself, from where no Hunter can see the Rebel.
expanse of fields
For hide-and-seek in the fields of Qingce village, use the forms of straw scarecrows and mossy tree trunks.
In the form of a straw man, hide in one of the secluded corners of the location in the eastern part. Other items can be tried to climb nearby, in a small crack between two rocks.
In the city of old

I didn’t like it, I took all the gems today and I don’t think I’ll want to fight over Mora tomorrow. The hunter always wins and it’s bad that the rewards were extended over 6 days. I don't like co-op events
How to earn 150 points repairs for a reward? I repaired 3 devices - they didn’t count it :(
perhaps a very stupid question, but I just can’t figure out how to change the ability, what kind of rebels, what kind of hunters. For example, for the latter, I always have those things that remove disguises and show traces to the rebels, I don’t understand how to change them in order to catch a person, save me
You can go to the event tab and open Secret Moves (in the lower left corner) and configure there, then you will have the abilities that you choose.
Previously, it was easy to win as a rebel, but almost impossible to win as a hunter. Now you can charge these new signals as a rebel, but you won as a hunter in 37 seconds... 37 seconds@_@
why can they block? I've already been blocked twice, the first time for 2 minutes, and the second time for 30 minutes and I don't understand why
Because you left the trial
what the hell, do a punt at the beginning, that's the point of the game
If the limit is reached, can I get strategic test rewards???
In the English Genshin wiki the event dates are written in 4.6, add them
with 14 on 27 yeast
for some reason, the chat in the event is blocked for me, they write “the channel is already blocked” please help
I really don’t like that in the event you can’t recruit a random player (s), in the world from a friend.
The second year already.
So how to go to dungeons and bosses everything is okay with this approach: a friend, you and 2 random houses, then everything is fine, but hide and seek is not ...
And there was also an event in the winter with Albedo, where we fought with his brother, so you could fight with a big flower in the world with a friend + randoms, and even then they didn’t even ask permission to enter the world. It was in the event with Albedo that people interfered.
and what to do if the game gives out "it is impossible to enter the world of another player", there are no active tasks
do you have the multiplayer icon crossed out? if not, your friend may have a problem. Also, you can't enter the world of a higher level
all sorted out. Thank you
I am glad to help you)
Why when I played for the hunter "Gotcha!" did not work? Another player moved with me, I clicked on E, but for some reason I could not catch him
This happens, I've seen it myself during the game. Maybe it depends on the ping. The movements of the player who has less of it may be shown to you with a delay. So when you try to catch it, you only see it in the position it was in a second ago.
Guys go play!!

Something I do not quite understand. Even if you regist the game with one friend, will there still be no rewards or only when you regist with a full group? And how many teams are there if it's not a secret?
Most likely, in principle, no rewards are issued for playing with a friend, otherwise it would become a very simple way to abuse) With a full group, teams are made up in exactly the same way, one Hunter is randomly selected, the rest are Rebels.
But you can’t with friends and with random houses, only the two of you can do it? Is it necessary to collect a group of 4?
I have not tried playing with friends, but as far as I understand, you can play with friends and with randoms.
The main thing is to have a friend in the world. Then you can send him an invitation. And the missing two places in the team will be occupied by other players who are looking for a game at the moment.
How to get a named card "in the wake of the wind"?
it was issued in the previous version of the event, this time it is most likely impossible
