Genshin Impact’s Hues of the Violet Garden event opens Inazuma to the rest of Teyvat with the Magnificent Irodori Festival. It runs from April 7, 2022, to April 25, 2022, and is open to all players Adventure Rank 30 and above who have completed the Ritou Escape Plan segment of the Archon Quest: Chapter II: Act I - The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia.

If you have not completed the Inazuma character Story Quests, you must access the event from the Quick Start button on the bottom left of the event menu.

How to Unlock Theater Mechanicus

The Theater Mechanicus mini-game can be unlocked by completing the Event Quest What the Blue Flowers Left Behind. This directly follows The Strange Tale of Suikou’s Tipsy Tincture.

Unlike the previous iterations of Theater Mechanicus, the mechanics for this round are a little different. Co-op mode is no longer allowed, and Mystic Arts have been replaced by Fortune Sticks, which can’t be enhanced. Each stage boasts an easy mode (Show of Force) and a hard mode (Enter the Horde).

How to complete Autumn Resplendence (Enter the Horde)

Fortune Sticks

You can use any Fortune Stick that you like, but here are some recommended options to take advantage of Elemental Mechanici and Tandem Mines:

  • Fortune Stick: SwellFortune Stick: Pyro OrbFortune Stick: BeaconFortune Stick: TorchFortune Stick: BlazeFortune Stick: Continuous CarnageFortune Stick: Faint ThunderFortune Stick: Culling

Mechanici Placement

The Mechanici placement in this stage is fairly simple, but you need to pay attention to your Veneficus Points, as you need to build some towers as soon as you get enough. This strategy will merit you a perfect score of 3,000 and doesn’t require bringing a character to help apply Elemental Reactions.

First, start by removing all the existing Mechanici. Then, place two Tandem Mines, a Pyro Mechanicus, and a Hydro Mechanicus on the left and right sides—their exact positions are pictured above. The Mechanici must be placed near the hole at the center, while the Mines should be placed on the outer edges. You’ll only have enough Veneficus Points to put these in at the beginning, so start the wave as soon as you’re done.

As soon as you generate 100 Veneficus Points, place the Pyro Mechanicus at the back. Follow the same pattern until the entire backline is filled with the other two Cryo Mechanici. The three Mechanici must be placed at the inner edge near the hole.

After, focus your attention on the front. As soon as you get another 100 Veneficus Points, place one Crack Shot on the inner edge near the hole. Do the same for the second Crack Shot beside it. The third Crack Shot at the center is the least priority. Keep in mind that enemies will occasionally destroy the middle Crack Shot, so just rebuild it whenever possible.
