In the world of Genshin Impact, the Achievements section is continually refreshed with new challenges every patch. These challenges vary in difficulty, with some of the more demanding achievements requiring a significant investment of time and effort. Currently, with the release of version 5.4, players can attain a total of 1,455 Achievements, a figure that is anticipated to grow with the upcoming version 5.5.
This article presents a ranking of the ten most arduous Achievements to unlock in Genshin Impact.
Top 10 Challenging Achievements in Genshin Impact
10) For Meritorious Service
The For Meritorious Service Achievement ranks high in difficulty due to its complex requirements. Players must first complete the Aranyaka World Quest along with the Static Views quest. Next, you must unlock three specific songs that are part of related World Quests: The Rhythm of the Great Dream, The Gloomy Path, and The Beastly Trail.
Once these initial tasks are accomplished, you are required to find and assist 64 Aranara in Sumeru. After aiding them, you can access certain chests which, when opened, will grant you this Achievement.
9) Legendary High Roller
To earn the Legendary High Roller Achievement, players must accumulate 150,000 lucky coins, which is no small feat given the weekly collection cap determined by one’s TCG level.
Participating in special events, such as the Heated Battle mode, offers opportunities to gain more coins, but the difficulty and strategic deck requirements can pose a significant challenge.
8) When the Stars Shine
The When the Stars Shine Achievement is particularly challenging due to its reliance on RNG mechanics. Players are tasked with completing the Imaginarium Theater in Visionary mode with a score of 10 Stella. Accessing Visionary mode requires you to have at least 22 characters at level 70.
Moreover, elemental restrictions confine you to utilizing characters from only three specific elements, heightening the difficulty of this Achievement.
7) Cocijo (Second Achievement)
Introduced in version 5.0, the Cocijo Achievement presents a formidable challenge. Players must defeat Cocijo before he activates his Thunderthorn Ward shield, which requires executing 34 instances of damage prior to the boss initiating shield formation.
Utilizing a high-damage character capable of delivering massive hits is essential, and it may also be beneficial to utilize potions or food buffs during the encounter. Alternatively, reducing your world level can make this fight slightly easier by lowering the enemy’s HP.
6) Polychrome Tri-stars (Third Achievement)
The Polychrome Tri-Stars features one of the original Local Legends in Natlan. This boss encounter consists of three unique elemental enemies, each protected by their respective shields—cryo, pyro, and electro.
Defeating all three in tandem is the objective for the third Achievement, which is notably challenging, as players must eliminate the final enemy within just 10 seconds after taking out the first.
5) Rilai (Third Achievement)
The Rilai Achievement, introduced in version 5.2, is another daunting series of challenges. Players must defeat Rilai three times in distinct manners to unlock different Achievement tiers, with the trickiest being the third.
This particular challenge prohibits players from being hit by her Fusion Nova attacks, and utilizing shields or I-frames is considered a hit, making it a demanding task.
4) Zoo Tycoon
The Zoo Tycoon Achievement is categorized under Wonders of the World, requiring players to capture 100 animals using the omni-ubiquity net.
The challenge is compounded by the limitation of purchasing only five nets each week, as well as certain animals being elusive and unable to be captured. Consequently, achieving this goal spans at least 20 weeks.
3) Tales of Monstrous Madness
The Tales of Monstrous Madness Achievement is another time-intensive challenge that integrates RNG with fishing tasks. Completing this Achievement requires players to collect five volumes of Toki Alley Tales.
While four volumes are easier to acquire in Inazuma, the fifth volume stands out as particularly challenging, necessitating fishing at diverse locations. With a drop rate as low as 2% for the pages, this process can be quite grueling.
2) Ding Ding Ding!
First appearing during the Inazuma updates, the Ding Ding Ding! Achievement requires players to catch a staggering 2,000 fish.
The limited availability of both fish and fishing spots adds another layer of complexity, as creatures replenish every three days. Crafting various fishing baits—nine in total, each requiring unique materials—is also necessary to meet this daunting target.
1) Stop! Gather Time
The Stop! Gather Time Achievement is universally recognized as the most time-consuming in Genshin Impact, potentially taking up to a year to complete.
The process begins with collecting a variety of plants in the overworld using the seed dispensary gadget, or purchasing seeds directly from Tubby in the Serenitea Pot. Subsequently, players need to utilize the Orderly Meadow field to plant these seeds, awaiting a three-day growth cycle to harvest.
This Achievement comprises three levels, requiring the collection of 40, 200, and ultimately 800 plants. The final level presents the toughest challenge, as gathering 800 plants is an arduous endeavor that may take significant time to achieve.
