Genshin Impact Sunspray Summer Resort Event Guide: Minigames and Rewards

Genshin Impact's latest seasonal event transports players to the Sunspray Summer Resort in Natlan, offering a vibrant escape from Teyvat's usual conflicts. This 2025 update features four distinctive minigames where Travelers can earn Sunspray Spirit points, valuable resources like Primogems, and the highly coveted free outfit for Bennett. The event blends relaxation with challenge, inviting players to master rhythm-based combat, cooperative puzzles, and creative graffiti mechanics across a tropical paradise. While the resort promises leisurely fun, the strategic depth of its minigames raises questions about whether players will prioritize rewards or pure enjoyment in this limited-time getaway.

How To Unlock The Event

Accessing the Easy Breeze Holiday Resort requires meeting specific progression milestones first:

• Adventure Rank 18 or higher

• Completion of Archon Quest Prologue: Act III "Song of the Dragon and Freedom"

• Completion of Archon Quest "Incandescent Ode of Resurrection"

Upon fulfilling these, players receive an in-game Letter directing them to the island resort. Curiously, the sudden tropical detour during Natlan's main storyline feels narratively abrupt—could this indicate deeper lore connections?

Minigame Mechanics Overview

The resort's four primary activities each demand unique skills while contributing to Sunspray Spirit accumulation. What begins as simple leisure evolves into surprisingly intricate challenges:

With Flying (Graffiti) Colors

Players manipulate Asha's painting abilities to color objects against time pressures, chasing high scores through multipliers and special items. Precision timing yields escalating rewards:

Objective	Rewards
Complete "Ethereal Hues Drift Between Clouds"	Primogems x30, Sunspray Spirit x60, Blazing Sacrificial Heart's Hesitance x3, Mora x30,000
Total Score: 3,200	Primogems x20, Sunspray Spirit x40, Sanctifying Unction x3, Mystic Enhancement Ore x6
Total Score: 4,000	Primogems x20, Sunspray Spirit x40, Sanctifying Unction x3, Mystic Enhancement Ore x6

Travels Are Fuller With Friends

Cooperation takes center stage as saurian duo Kau Kau and Akamai navigate obstacle courses using complementary abilities:

• 🦖 Kau Kau: Heavyweight path-clearer

• 🦎 Akamai: Nimble cake collector

Rewards emphasize teamwork efficiency:

Journey	Objectives	Rewards
I: A Tale of Two Boxes	Defeat opponents + Collect Nanas Cakes	Primogems x20, Sunspray Spirit x50 total, Blazing Sacrificial Heart's Hesitance x3
IV: The Weight of Things to Come	Defeat opponents + Collect Nanas Cakes	Primogems x20, Sunspray Spirit x50 total, Night-Wind's Mystic Premonition x3

Strikers Through the Storm

Paintball turret defense combines frantic aiming with survival tactics. Players juggle ammunition conservation and HP management:

Stage II Highlights

• "Have at least 5 HP remaining" rewards Guide to Kindling

• "Have at least 10 HP remaining" grants Mystic Enhancement Ore

Why does this mode prioritize health over ammunition in later stages? Perhaps reflecting Natlan's warrior ethos.

A Feast for the Senses

Hybrid rhythm-combat sequences require defeating enemies to activate Lightburst Shockwave Mode, where musical inputs unleash devastation:

Track	10,000 Points Rewards
Rock 'n' Roll Thunderstorm	Sunspray Spirit x20, Mystic Enhancement Ore x6, Mora x30,000
Vernal Harmony of Soft Hues	Sunspray Spirit x20, Mystic Enhancement Ore x6, Mora x30,000

The mode's scoring complexity suggests rhythm mechanics might influence future combat systems.

Rewards Structure

Cumulative Sunspray Spirit unlocks tiered prizes, with Bennett's outfit available at mid-levels:

Sunspray Spirit	Key Rewards
300	Primogems x60, Dance Speaker – "Lightburst Shock" (instrument), Philosophies of Contention x2
1200	Bennett's Resort Outfit, Colorful Grand Gift Box, Sanctifying Essence x3
1500	Crown of Insight, Hero's Wit x3, Sanctifying Essence x3

🌟 Notable Incentives

• Early tiers: Character ascension materials

• Mid tiers: Exclusive cosmetics

• Final tier: Rare progression items

The reward distribution prioritizes accessibility—but does placing Bennett's outfit at 1200 Spirit encourage grinding over exploration? As players debate efficiency versus immersion, the resort's legacy might depend on whether future events adopt similar reward models. Will miHoYo's design philosophy continue balancing tangible incentives with pure escapism?
