Three Realms Gateway Offering - Genshin Impact

Three Realms Gateway Offering is a limited-time Event in Genshin Impact that debuted in Update 2.5. It takes place in Enkanomiya as the Traveler is sent below Watatsumi Island in Inazuma to vanquish an unknown evil.

The **Three Realms Gateway Offering** was a limited-time event in *Genshin Impact* that took place during version 2.5, running from **February 17 to March 30, 2022**. It was set in a darkened, alternate version of Enkanomiya, separate from the main area, with its own map and exploration progress. The event is no longer available, meaning players who missed it cannot access its content or rewards anymore.

### Event Overview
- **Location:** A darkened version of Enkanomiya, distinct from the regular Enkanomiya map.
- **Objective:** Players explored the area, cleansed the darkness using a gadget called the **Bokuso Box**, and completed quests to stop the darkness from spreading to Watatsumi Island.
- **Key Mechanic:** The event featured **Corrosion**, a debuff that reduced characters' HP over time in areas with high **Corrosion Intensity**. The Bokuso Box countered this by providing **Corrosion Resistance** and cleansing darkness from enemies, chests, and puzzles.

### Requirements
To participate, players had to meet these prerequisites:
- **Adventure Rank 30** or higher.
- Completion of the **Inazuma Archon Quest** (Chapter II: Act II - "Stillness, the Sublimation of Shadow").
- Completion of the **"Erebos' Secret"** world quest to unlock Enkanomiya.

### Gameplay Mechanics
- **Bokuso Box:** A temporary gadget central to the event, which allowed players to:
- Remove darkness from enemies, chests, and puzzles.
- Gain resistance to Corrosion based on its upgrade level.
- Be upgraded using **Light Realm Sigils**, collected from chests, waypoints, and challenges.
- **Corrosion:** Areas had varying Corrosion Intensity levels. If the Bokuso Box’s resistance was insufficient, characters would suffer HP loss over time.
- **Exploration:** The event introduced new chests, puzzles, and enemies like **Shadow Husks**. Upgrading the Bokuso Box was essential to access high-intensity areas and progress.

### Quests and Challenges
The event’s story was part of the **Aphotic Diffusal** questline, divided into several stages:
- **The Eve:** Introduced the event and the Bokuso Box.
- **Part I, II, III:** Focused on activating **Towers of the Void** by gathering items such as **Tokoyo Legumes**, **Aphotium Ores**, and **Husk Gems**.
- **Aftermath:** Culminated in a boss fight against the **Bathysmal Vishap Herd** in the **"Call of Ice and Thunder"** challenge.

Additionally, **Sentou Trials** offered battle challenges to earn more Light Realm Sigils.

### Rewards
Completing the event granted valuable items, including:
- **Oathsworn Eye:** A 4-star catalyst weapon, plus materials to refine it.
- **Primogems, Mora, Hero’s Wit,** and other standard resources.
- **Crown of Insight:** A rare item for talent upgrades.

### Why It Stood Out
This event was notable for removing time-gated quests, allowing players to complete all content at their own pace—a departure from the weekly mission releases of prior events. This freedom, combined with its focus on exploration and puzzles, gave it a more traditional RPG feel, which many players praised.

### Current Status
Since the event concluded in March 2022, the darkened Enkanomiya map and its unique content are no longer accessible. However, the regular Enkanomiya region remains open for exploration, and players can still pursue unrelated activities or quests there.

In summary, the Three Realms Gateway Offering was a unique and engaging event that blended challenging mechanics with rewarding gameplay. While it’s no longer playable, it left a lasting impression on *Genshin Impact*’s event design philosophy.
