First, Genshin Impact players will enter the adjustment phase where they need to select the Kamera Settings and then adjust the position and angle of the photo. The 'photo-taking points' are the small white circles within the Kamera frame. Then, select Enter to confirm the Kamera Setting and go to the next phase.

The last phase is photo-taking, where the angle of the finalized image is confirmed by the settings that players adjusted previously. Now, they only need to make sure all the requirements are correct. In the Pathological Author challenge, Travelers need to use an Anemo character and use their Elemental Skill before taking the picture using the Kamera gadget (Click Z).

Once the challenge is completed, Genshin Impact players can either leave, view the images, or keep taking photographs. Keep in mind that the image taken does not need to be saved as the event will automatically mark the challenge as complete once all the requirements have been met.


By completing the Pathological Author challenge, Travelers can open the events page to claim the rewards consisting of 30 Primogems, 20000 Mora, and 2 Hero's Wit.
