If you’ve been exploring Teyvat for any length of time, you know that Genshin Impact isn’t just about beating bosses and hoarding Primogems. It’s also about ticking off those sneaky achievements that make you question your life choices. But let’s face it, some achievements are in a league of their own when it comes to difficulty. So, buckle up as we count down the 7 hardest achievements to get in Genshin Impact.
7. Perfectionist
- Category: Snezhnaya Does Not Believe in Tears: Series I
- Requirements: Complete all of Tsarevich’s commissions flawlessly in “Reliable Helper”
- Rewards: 5 Primogems
First on the list is Perfectionist, an achievement that sounds innocent enough—until you attempt it. Tsarevich’s commissions aren’t just a one-time gig; they’re random and can take days or weeks to rotate back into your daily lineup. And when they do appear, you need to nail them without any mistakes. It’s not just a test of skill; it’s a test of patience.
Why It’s So Tough: The randomness. You never know when you’ll get the commission you need, making it more of a waiting game than an actual challenge. But when it does show up, you better be ready to execute it flawlessly.
6. Well, That Was Strange
- Category: Challenger: Series II
- Requirements: Defeat the Unusual Hilichurl 75 times
- Rewards: 35 Primogems
Ah, the Unusual Hilichurl—Teyvat’s own peculiar wanderer. This oddball creature is elusive and only spawns at specific times and places. Tracking down this cabbage-throwing menace 75 times will have you memorizing spawn points like it’s a pop quiz. The fact that it only spawns twice every 12 hours? Yeah, that’s just the cherry on top of this frustrating sundae.
Why It’s So Tough: Time management. You’ll need to plan your day around these spawn windows, and unless you’re committed, this achievement will stay unchecked on your list.
5. Divine Roots
- Category: Inazuma: The Islands of Thunder and Eternity – Series I
- Requirements: Reach Level 50 of the Sacred Sakura’s Favor
- Rewards: 20 Primogems
Leveling up the Sacred Sakura’s Favor in Inazuma is like running a marathon with no end in sight. You’ll need to collect 1,250 Electro Sigils, which are scattered like confetti across the entire region. From solving puzzles to combing through hidden corners, this achievement is an exercise in patience and dedication.
Why It’s So Tough: The sheer number of sigils required. Unless you’re an explorer at heart, collecting 1,250 of anything will test your limits—and maybe even your sanity.
4. Culmination of the Great Dream
- Category: Sumeru: The Rainforest of Lore
- Requirements: Reach Level 50 of the Tree of Dreams
- Rewards: 20 Primogems
Sumeru’s Tree of Dreams is the next big headache for completionists. To reach Level 50, you’ll need to gather Dendro Sigils, which are hidden across the expansive Sumeru region. This isn’t your average stroll through the forest; we’re talking about searching the deep jungles, solving puzzles, and maybe even venturing underground.
Why It’s So Tough: The layout of Sumeru is vast and layered, making it easy to miss sigils. If you thought hunting Electroculi was hard, this is that on steroids.
3. Dear Daddy
- Category: Wonders of the World
- Requirements: Complete “A Boy’s Letter”
- Rewards: 5 Primogems
You’d think an achievement with a name like Dear Daddy would be heartwarming, but it’s anything but. This one depends entirely on getting a specific commission in Mondstadt. And not just once—you need to get lucky multiple times, as there’s a specific version of the commission that you must complete. It’s basically RNG in its purest, most infuriating form.
Why It’s So Tough: The rarity of the commission appearing. If you’re not logging in daily or don’t have the patience for weeks of waiting, you might never see this achievement completed.
2. Ding Ding Ding!
- Category: Teyvat Fishing Guide: Series I
- Requirements: Successfully catch 2,000 fish
- Rewards: 35 Primogems
Fishing in Genshin Impact may seem relaxing at first—until you realize that catching 2,000 fish is a requirement for this achievement. Even if you’re diligent, fishing spots take time to respawn, so you’ll find yourself doing the equivalent of a world tour across Teyvat’s lakes and rivers.
Why It’s So Tough: The sheer scale of it. Catching fish isn’t quick, and the respawn times mean you’ll be logging in for weeks or even months to finish this. It’s dedication, plain and simple.
1. Stop! Gather Time
- Category: A Realm Beyond: Series III
- Requirements: Gather 800 items in “A Path of Value: Orderly Meadow”
- Rewards: 35 Primogems
Topping our list as the absolute hardest is Stop! Gather Time. This Serenitea Pot achievement requires gathering 800 items in a specific furnishing setup. Sounds simple? It isn’t. Completing this achievement could take you thousands of hours—yes, thousands. It’s so tedious that even players who live and breathe Genshin might opt to skip it.
Why It’s So Tough: The time investment. Gathering items in your Serenitea Pot isn’t fast, and the setup is mind-numbingly repetitive. You’ll need a level of commitment that borders on obsession to check this one off your list.
And there you have it: the 7 hardest achievements in Genshin Impact. Each one of these challenges is a testament to how far you’re willing to go for those sweet, sweet Primogems. Good luck, Travelers—you’re going to need it.
