As Genshin Impact evolves as a game, its developers have gotten more and more creative with how the characters interact with the game world. The earliest example was activating switches and torches with elemental abilities, but the newer environments have been making use of special items for problem-solving. One such example is the new Wind-Blessed Harmastum. Here’s how to use the Wind-Blessed Harpastum in Genshin Impact.
The Wind-Blessed Harpastum is a new rarity 4 gadget added as part of the Midsummer Island Adventure update. It’s a little round ball blessed with some windy mojo that’s designed to be used in a recreational fashion. You’ll get one for free by completing the Story Quest, “Summer Vacation: Proceed With Caution,” and it can be used to solve a couple of puzzles, as well as batter and annoy your foes.
How to Use the Wind-Blessed Harpastum in Genshin Impact
To use the Wind-Blessed Harpastum in Genshin Impact, you have to equip it from the Gadget section of your inventory. Bear in mind that equipped gadgets replace your Elemental Skill, so you remember to unequip it if you’re about to go into battle.
Press your Elemental Skill button to throw the Harpastum out. You can also hold the button to aim more precisely. Don’t worry about picking it up; it’ll come back to you automatically.
The Harpastum can be used to solve the puzzle of the Dodo-King’s Painted Wall. Just lob the ball at the wall, then rally it back and forth by pressing the Attack button until the wall breaks. Try not to miss, or the wall will restore itself.
You can also use the Harpastum to solve the puzzle of the Hymnal Rings. You’ll see Elemental Targets behind or beneath the rings, so lob the Harpastum through the rings to charge it with the right element and hit the target. It’s like golf. Sort of.
