As a hardcore Genshin Impact player since launch, I've been grinding through the Reel Ad-Venture event in Version 5.4, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride—like trying to solve a riddle in an ancient tomb while juggling flaming Mora coins. 😅 You know how it is with live-service gacha games: every day, you're logging in for those precious Primogems, doing dailies, and scrambling to finish events before they vanish. This one's no exception, but it adds a fresh twist with its film-reel assembly mechanic. Honestly, orchestrating these scenes feels like a conductor leading a chaotic orchestra where the instruments are characters from Teyvat. And just when you think you've got it, the game throws a curveball, like that time I mixed up shots and ended up with Noelle battling a crab instead of a Hilichurl—talk about a plot twist! Now, with Fontaine expanding, I'm all in, but more on that later.

To dive into this event, you've gotta unlock it first. No rocket science here—just hit Adventure Rank 20 and wrap up the Song of the Dragon and Freedom quest in Mondstadt. Easy peasy, right? But here's a pro tip: do the Tatara Tales side quest in Inazuma's Tatarasuna area. Why? 'Cause it introduces you to Xavier, the NPC who hands you this whole shindig. Once that's done, head over to Cafe Lutece in Fontaine's Court for a quick intro quest. Boom, you're in! Assembling shots involves matching dialogues with synopses, which is trickier than it sounds—like weaving a tapestry where every thread has a mind of its own. Now, onto the fun part: those reels.

A Vital Choice Guide

This one kicks off the event, focusing on the Knights of Favonius pushing better potions. For a Rave Review, organize the shots in this exact order—mess it up, and you'll get a lukewarm response faster than Sucrose spills her alchemy experiments. Here's the sequence I used:

Shot Number	Row	Number	Description
1	1	2	Starts with Sucrose and Noelle
2	2	2	Follows up with Noelle
3	1	3	Shows a Hilichurl
4	1	1	Noelle didn't take the potion
5	2	1	Scene switches
6	3	2	Timaeus explains
7	4	1
8	2	3	Back to Sucrose and Noelle
9	4	3	Noelle happy with potion
10	3	3	Next step
11	3	1	Noelle wins battle
12	4	2	Tameaus reappears

Piece of cake once you nail it—rewards are sweet, and I always imagine this as a mini-movie premiering in Angel's Share. 🎬

Wanmin: Where Life Tastes Better! Guide

Next up, it's all about promoting Wanmin Restaurant with Guoba, Shenhe, and crew. Getting the order right here is key—skip a beat, and it's like overcooking Xiangling's specialty dish. Here’s how I aced it:

• Shot 1: Row 2, Number 3 – Scene starts

• Shot 2: Row 1, Number 3 – You see characters

• Shot 3: Row 3, Number 2 – Shows restaurant and others

• Shot 4: Row 1, Number 2 –

• Shot 5: Row 3, Number 3 – Next three shots

• Shot 6: Row 2, Number 2 –

• Shot 7: Row 1, Number 1 –

• Shot 8: Row 4, Number 2 – After that

• Shot 9: Row 4, Number 1 –

• Shot 10: Row 2, Number 1 –

• Shot 11: Row 5, Number 1 – End of commercial

• Shot 12: Row 3, Number 1 – Final two shots

• Shot 13: Row 4, Number 3 –

The chaos of coordinating Guoba’s antics reminds me of herding cats in Qingce Village—utter madness but hilarious.

Invoke The Path To Victory Guide

This reel heads to Inazuma with Aratakki Itto promoting Genius Invocation TCG. Tricky part? Reusing assets, like a puzzle where pieces fit in multiple spots. My sequence:

Shot Number	Row	Number	Description
1	2	3	Starts with everyone
2	1	2	Zoom on members' faces
3	1	3
4	2	1
5	4	3	Next three scenes
6
7	4	2
8	4	1	Gang members act
9	1	1	Itto tells them
10	3	1
11	2	2	Scene ends
12	3	2

Itto’s energy is infectious—I bet this could be a hit in real-life TCG tournaments. 😂

Focus On Your Future Guide

Off to Sumeru with Faruzan recruiting students. The emotional rollercoaster here is intense—one wrong shot, and it's like watching a scholar trip over their own thesis. Order matters:

• Shot 1: Row 2, Number 1 – Scene starts

• Shot 2: Row 1, Number 1 – NPC interrupts

• Shot 3: Row 2, Number 2 – Faruzan excited

• Shot 4: Row 3, Number 1 – She realizes mistake

• Shot 5: Row 3, Number 2 –

• Shot 6: Row 4, Number 2 – She looks dejected

• Shot 7: Row 3, Number 3 – She finally acts

• Shot 9: Row 4, Number 1 – Anger subsides

• Shot 10: Row 1, Number 2 –

• Shot 11: Row 2, Number 2 – Cyno’s speech

Faruzan’s frustration is relatable—like cramming for exams only to forget everything.

Boundless Adventure, Unbound Joy Guide

The finale in Fontaine promotes a Tabletop Troupe. This one’s a blast—imagine a party where everyone’s cards go flying. Sequence:

Shot Number	Row	Number	Description
1	2	1	Starts with characters on table

After nailing this, chat with Xavier for bonus Primogems—pure joy, like cracking open a treasure chest after a long dungeon crawl.

Now, for the rewards—each Rave Review nets you 80 Primogems, 40,000 Mora, and upgrade items. With five reels, that’s 400 Primogems total, plus 20 more from the quest. Share your edits with friends via the Editing Records section—just click that eye icon. 👀

Wrapping up, this event’s been a highlight, but my mind’s already racing to the future. I envision HoYoverse expanding this into player-created storylines where we direct cross-region epics, maybe with co-op competitions—like a digital film festival in Teyvat. Imagine that! It’d blend creativity with community, making every log-in feel like stepping onto a grand stage. Until then, back to grinding for those Primogems. ✨
