Bantan Sango Case Files: The Warrior Dog Event - Genshin Impact - Version 2.3

The **Bantan Sango Case Files: The Warrior Dog** is an event in *Genshin Impact* introduced in Version 2.3, running from December 7, 2021, to December 20, 2021. It takes place in Inazuma and involves players helping the Bantan Sango Detective Agency investigate the mysterious disappearance of small animals. Below is a detailed guide:

### **Event Overview**
- **Eligibility**: Players must be at least **Adventure Rank 30** and have completed the Archon Quest **"The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia"** (Chapter II, Act I).
- **Objective**: Rescue missing animals across Inazuma using the **Ubiquity Net** gadget, either through stealth or combat. The event is divided into **four segments**, with each segment unlocking after completing the previous one.
- **Story**: The Traveler teams up with Sango and Ryuuji from the Bantan Sango Detective Agency to solve the case of missing animals, uncovering a plot involving Treasure Hoarders and a ninken (ninja dog) named **Kageroumaru**.

### **Event Mechanics**
1. **Ubiquity Net Gadget**:
- A temporary gadget equipped via the Gadget Inventory. It replaces the Elemental Skill with a capture ability to rescue small animals.
- **How to Use**:
- Equip the Ubiquity Net from the inventory.
- Press the gadget button (e.g., Z on PC, L1 + O on PlayStation) to activate.
- Hold the Elemental Skill button to aim and release to deploy the net. The net has a short range, so aim carefully.
- After the event, players can obtain the **Omni-Ubiquity Net** via the World Quest "Omni-Ubiquity Net" by visiting NPC **Wakamurasaki** in Inazuma. This allows capturing certain animals for the Serenitea Pot. Up to 5 nets can be redeemed weekly.

2. **Challenges**:
- **Hiding Spot (Stealth Mode)**:
- Avoid detection by **Canine Bunshin** (illusionary warrior dogs with swords) patrolling the area. Entering their red field of sight triggers an attack, preventing animal capture.
- Use environmental mechanisms like **smoke machines** or **fireworks** for distractions, or glide from cliffs to avoid detection. Ranged characters (e.g., Amber, Venti) are useful for activating mechanisms.
- The Ubiquity Net can temporarily stun Canine Bunshin.
- **Den of Thieves (Combat Mode)**:
- Defeat enemies like Treasure Hoarders, Kairagi, or Mirror Maidens to free caged animals. Progress is saved if the challenge is interrupted.
- **Canine Path (Final Challenge)**:
- Unlocked after completing all investigation points. Players face **Kageroumaru**, a ninken using Electro attacks. Avoid his marked hitboxes and bring a strong DPS character. This challenge supports **Co-Op mode**, unlike other stages.

3. **Event Structure**:
- The event has four quests, unlocked sequentially:
1. **Mystery of the Black Shadow**: Introduces stealth and combat challenges in Tatarasuna.
2. **Stealthy Trail**: Continues investigations with more animal rescues.
3. **The Truth (Just About) Comes to Light**: Involves rescuing animals and confronting Treasure Hoarders, with a lead to Kageroumaru.
4. **Recognition**: The final quest where players pursue Kageroumaru, defeat Treasure Hoarders, and fight him in the Canine Path domain to earn his acknowledgment.
- Some quests require waiting until the next in-game day (06:00–18:00).

### **Rewards**
- **Event Rewards**:
- **Primogems** (e.g., 120 for the first segment).
- **Mora** (e.g., 60,000 for the first segment).
- **Hero’s Wit**, **Weapon Ascension Materials** (e.g., Jeweled Branch of a Distant Sea), and **Mystic Enhancement Ore**.
- **Omni-Ubiquity Net** (post-event via World Quest).
- **Kageroumaru**: Obtained as a Serenitea Pot furnishing item upon event completion.
- **Battle Pass Missions**: Added to the Shadowed Snowfall Battle Pass, providing BP EXP without counting toward the weekly 10,000 EXP limit.

### **Tips**
- **Stealth Tips**:
- Observe Canine Bunshin patrol patterns and avoid their red detection zones.
- Use thunder spheres or environmental objects like wooden structures for cover.
- If detected, escape or stun with the Ubiquity Net rather than fighting.
- **Combat Tips**:
- Bring a balanced team with strong DPS for Den of Thieves and Canine Path.
- For Kageroumaru, avoid Electro-based characters as he uses Electro attacks but isn’t immune.
- **Serenitea Pot**:
- Check the **Archive** under “Living Beings” > “Wildlife” for animals capturable with the Omni-Ubiquity Net (marked with a net symbol).

### **Story Highlights**
- The animal disappearances are linked to **Treasure Hoarders** training dogs as treasure-hunting companions after failing with weasels. Kageroumaru, an abandoned ninken, was involved, possibly to train the animals. After defeating him, the Traveler earns his loyalty, and he becomes a Serenitea Pot companion.

### **Notes**
- Only the Canine Path challenge supports Co-Op mode; entering Co-Op pauses other event progress.
- The Ubiquity Net is event-exclusive and disappears after December 20, 2021, but the Omni-Ubiquity Net remains for permanent use.
- The event may return in future versions, but no confirmed rerun dates are available as of July 5, 2025.
