The Genshin Impact 4.6 update has added a new Challenger Series IX category to the achievement list. Unlike other achievements in the game, Travelers can obtain the achievements listed in this series only by performing specific tasks during boss fights.

This article will list all six new achievements in the Challengers Series IX and guide you on how to unlock them in Genshin Impact.


How to obtain Theater Fire Drill achievement in Genshin Impact

The Theater Fire Drill achievement description can be slightly confusing to some players:

"Destroy the Legatus Golem's shield before it can lift its blade and unleash its raging, fiery shockwave."

The "shockwave" refers to a special move when the Legatus Golem moves to the center of the arena before stabbing its sword to the ground. Then it creates three rings that release Pyro shockwaves and performs one final jumping attack.

You must destroy the Legatus Golem's shield after it releases the third Pyro shockwave and before it performs the jumping attack. This will unlock the Theater Fire Drill achievement, worth five Primogems.


How to obtain Unmanifested Sealing Hex achievement in Genshin Impact

Defeat the Hydro Tulpa after it has become enhanced from absorbing Half-Tulpa(s).

The Unmanifested Sealing Hex achievement is pretty easy to get. As the description suggests, you must defeat the Hydro Tulpa right after it absorbs the Half-Tulpa(s). The best way to unlock this achievement is to keep attacking the boss until its HP is very low but do not kill it. Next, allow it to summon its minions, and the moment it absorbs all of them, unleash your best attack to defeat it.

Unmanifested Sealing Hex is worth five Primogems.


How to obtain Three Days and Nights in the belly of the Great Fish achievement in Genshin Impact

"Escape the belly of the beast without getting hit at all by the phantasm(s) within."

To obtain the Three Days and Nights in the Belly of the Great Fish achievement, you must avoid getting hit by the phantasm during the second phase of the All-Devouring Narwhal boss fight. Furthermore, when the phantasm turns into a ball, you must hit it with any Arkhe-aligned attack and defeat it.

You can use a shielder like Zhongli since he can protect you from getting hit. You must also bring any Fontaine character to strike the shadow ball with Arkhe attack. This will unlock the Three Days and Nights in the Belly of the Great Fish achievement, worth five Primogems in Genshin Impact.


How to obtain "Feng Shui Assassination!" achievement in Genshin Impact

"Within a single challenge, use Elemental Reactions to paralyze the Solitary Suanni while it is gathering the Anemo or Hydro adeptal energy respectively."

The Feng Shui Assassination! achievement can be obtained by challenging the Solitary Suanni in Chenyu Vale. It is important to note that the boss has two phases, Anemo and Hydro. When the Solitary Suanni enters the Hydro phase and turns its body into water, use Cryo to freeze it and deal blunt damage to stun it.

In the same fight, after Solitary Suanni enters the Anemo phase, wait for it to summon three Spiritwind Pearls and use Pyro/Hydro/Cryo/Electro attacks to destroy them. This will unlock the "Feng Shui Assassination!" achievement, worth five Primogems.


How to obtain If You're Thirsty for Blood... achievement in Genshin Impact

"Unleash four Scarlet Nighttides in a single battle against The Knave."

During the battle against The Knave, she will apply the Bond of Life to your character and you must clear it using a healer or food. This will grant a Scarlet Nighttides to your character, which looks like a red ring around the unit's body. Lastly, unleash the Scarlet Nighttides using a Charged Attack against the weekly boss.

You must repeat this four times in a single battle against The Knave to unlock the If You're Thirsty for Blood... achievement, worth five Primogems.


How to obtain Brighter Than White achievement in Genshin Impact

"In a single battle against The Knave, avoid being hit by her at all while being affected by a Bond of Life and defeat The Knave."

For the Brighter Than White achievement, it is advised that you pick the low-difficulty challenge for The Knave weekly boss. This will allow you to defeat her as soon as possible when she enters her second phase. Furthermore, bringing a shielder would be ideal if you're not good at dodging since you must avoid getting hit by any incoming attack when you have a Bond of Life.

However, it is fine if you get hit when you are not affected by the Bond of Life. Lastly, when The Knave enters her second phase, unleash your strongest attacks and defeat her without wasting any time. This will unlock the Brighter Than White achievement, worth 10 Primogems.
