Photo-Taking Point 1 - Maid-in-Training
| Silhouette and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | Knights of Favonius Headquarters, Mondstadt |
| Instructions | People often marvel at how the Knights of Favonius Headquarters stay spotless. To her, brushing away dust is no different from swinging a greatsword, each motion a quiet discipline that hones the heart as much as the blade. |
| Objective | Take a photo of Noelle at the start of her Idle 2 animation |
For the first photo-taking point, Noelle must do her second idle animation, and you must take the photo right before she tilts her head in a bow. Afterwards, zoom in at a slight upward angle to match the silhouette!
Photo-Taking Point 2 - Sword Dance Atop the Waves
| Silhouette and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | Cliff overlooking the Snow-Covered Path in Dragonspine, Mondstadt |
| Instructions | A high cliff stands at the edge of the snowy mountain, where the cold wind cuts as sharp as steel. Few ever set foot in this harsh, Isolated place, but for her, it is the perfect ground to clear her mind and hone her blade. |
| Objective | Take a photo of Eula at the fourth hit of a Normal Attack sequence |
Use Eula's Normal Attack four times in a row and take the picture when she has her weapon held behind her to complete the second photo-taking point. When aligning the silhouette, use an upward angle while facing Eula's left side.
Photo-Taking Point 3 - Leaves Rustling in the Breeze
| Silhoutte and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | Near the Statue of the Seven in Ritou, Inazuma |
| Instructions | The winds of Ritou carry the scent of the sea and red maples, a mix that readily stirs the wanderer's heart. Before setting sail once more, he faces the wind and embraces the spirit of his homeland. |
| Objective | Take a Photo of Kazuha at the third hit of his Normal Attack string. |
Use Kazuha's Normal Attack three times in a row and snap a photo when he raises his sword upwards in order to complete the third photo-taking point.
When aligning the photo, move the angle to his left side and focus more on the alignment of his head rather than the sword to get at least 80%.
Photo-Taking Point 4 - The Scarlet Shadow of Tenshukaku
| Silhoutte and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | In the balcony at the front of the Tenshukaku in Inazuma |
| Instructions | Lady Guuji pauses beneath Tenshukaku, a faint smile on her lips. Was it that today's duties went especially smoothly ... or did a quiet half-day spent with a friend bring her even greater joy? |
| Objective | Take a Photo of Yae Miko at the tail end of her Charged Attack. |
Use Yae Miko's Charged Attack and wait for a bit until she does the fox signal with her right hand to snap a photo in order to complete the fourth photo-taking point.
Focus more on aligning her body with the silhouette during the second phase to achieve at least 80%.
Photo-Taking Point 5 - Lightning Over the Crimson Sands
| Silhoutte and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | Khemenu Temple, Sumeru Desert |
| Instructions | In the drifting yellow sands, the General Mahamatra's stance grows even more solemn. Without a word, he fixes his keen, hawk-like gaze on the shapes far ahead... |
| Objective | Take a Photo of Cyno at the end of his first Idle animation. |
In the fifth photo-taking point, use Cyno's Idle 1 and wait for him to summon his spear before taking the picture! Afterwards, you will need to angle the camera slightly upwards, aligning with the weapon.
Photo-Taking Point 6 - Dance of Blooming
| Silhoutte and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | On the stage of Zubayr Theater in Sumeru City, Sumeru |
| Instructions | On the stage of the Zubayr Theater, she rehearses each step again and again. Like the quiet pause before a flower opens, that moment of poised anticipation is a part of the dance she treasures just as deeply. |
| Objective | Take a Photo of Nilou right at the end of a Charged Attack. |
Use Nilou's Charged Attack and take the picture at the end, when she has a hand up in the air and her weapon has disappeared for the sixth photo-taking point.
When aligning the pose, raise the camera to look down at Nilou, and adjust the angle to show her facing the left side!
Photo-Taking Point 7 - Taste of Perfection
| Silhoutte and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | Inside Hotel Debord in the Court of Fontaine |
| Instructions | With how exacting she can be, you might worry she'll scold you if the photo isn't ''perfect,'' just as she does with her trainees. But there's no need to stress. This is merely a small dessert by the name of ''a keepsake'' shared between friends. |
| Objective | Take a Photo of Escoffier right at the end of her Idle 1. |
In the seventh photo-taking point, use Escoffier's first idle. Take the picture when she tastes her food and after her tail goes up to match the silhouette!
For the photo alignment, zoom in on Escoffier and angle the camera slightly to the left, with her tail almost level with her hat.
Photo-Taking Point 8 - Ruins of the Past
| Silhoutte and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | At the southern end of the New Fontaine Research Institute |
| Instructions | As she gazes at the timeworn landscape before her, it seems as though distant memories have begun to stir... |
| Objective | Take a Photo of Skirk at the end of her Charged Attack. |
Use Skirk's Charged Attack and snap a photo at the end when her polearm is behind her. Afterwards, angle the camera slightly upward, with Skirk's body turned to the left.
Photo-Taking Point 9 - Obsidian Tales
| Silhoutte and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | Citlali's house, south of Masters of the Night-Wind, Natlan |
| Instructions | Even with a new book and a cozy bed beckoning for her to stay, she sets out nonetheless, drawn by the chance to witness the sign said to emerge only as the mists fade away... |
| Objective | Take a Photo of Citlali during her Idle 2 animation. |
Citlali's photo-taking point requires her to be doing her second idle animation. Take the picture once the book is open and she's reading it!
To align the photo, zoom in slightly and tilt the camera to raise the book at an upward angle.
Photo-Taking Point 10 - The Primal Ore Glimmers
| Silhoutte and Picture | |
|---|---|
  |
|
| Location | East end of the Children of the Echoes, Natlan |
| Instructions | For some, mining ends when they strike ore or come up empty-handed. But for others, mining means moving forward through the mountain's darkness, until the rock before them breaks open to reveal the first glimmer of new light. |
| Objective | Take a Photo of Kachina near the end of her Idle 1 animation. |
For the final photo-taking point, use Kachina's first idle animation and wait until she's holding the rock up to the light before snapping a photo! Afterwards, zoom in with Kachina's face turned to the side with the rock on display.
