My Archaeological Notes Photo Note Guide

Day 5 Photography Targets

1. 1 Photo-Taking Point▼
2. Must include the character▼
3. Character's Weapon must be a Polearm▼
4. Character using Normal Attack ▼

My Archaeological Notes Location

Location	Land of Lower Setekh, Sumeru Desert

You can find this location near Teleport Waypoint above the Dendro Hypostasis in the Sumeru Desert.

How to Get to the Photo Location

After using the Teleport Waypoint, simply glide down until you're at the shore.

The Angle must Span 1 Photo-Taking Point

There are three views as you edit the Kamera Settings, the extreme wide shot, the wide shot, and the close angle shot. What's most important is having the blue circle inside your camera angle.

Must Include the Character

The image needs to have a character in it. This is why you need to study your chosen character's normal attacks and how that normal attack animation will affect the shot as you take the photo!

Character Must Use Polearms

Asagiri requests that the character you photograph is a Polearm user. There are many Polearm characters to choose from, select the one you are familiar with the normal attack animations!

All Polearm Available Characters
Xiao	Xiangling	Zhongli
Hu Tao	Rosaria	Cyno
Thoma	Raiden	Shenhe
Yun Jin	Candace	Mika
Yaoyao

Use a Normal Attack When the Picture is Taken

The final part of the challenge is to capture the perfect shot of your character's normal attack. Pick the best normal attack animation that you want to showcase, then think of how many steps they get before they reach that attack.

Characters move a lot as they attack, either to come close or to move away. You need to estimate a spot where they will do your desired move to grab the perfect shot!

Use the Photoshoot Function

To properly estimate distance in the shot, use the photoshoot function. It will have a line near the icon that you can use to judge how close or far you are in the photo!

Asagiri's Notes for My Archaeological Notes

"This author is an up-and-coming novelist who is highly recommended by Miss Moriko. It's said that he has traveled to many places."

"Hmm... According to the author, this is an adventure novel, and the plot revolves around an archaeology team and their bizarre experiences."

"He says that the team is comprised of an adventurer from Mondstadt, an Antique dealer from Liyue, a samurai from Inazuma, and a scholar from Sumeru."

"Hehe, a story with this many characters must be quite the engaging one indeed."

"Um, wait a minute! Doesn't that mean I'll have to draw that many characters, too?"

"Oh no!"
