Genshin Impact Trial of the Scorching Sands Web Event – Gameplay Details
This web event tasks the Traveler with assisting Cyno in pursuit of a researcher who had broken the Akademiya's rules. Unfortunately, they ran out into the desert and, as such, needed to prepare for the voyage across the sandy dunes and combat the extreme heat.
As such, they'll need to prepare their backpack for the journey across the desert by packing only the essential items listed in the prompts and clicking on the items required. They can also view what's in Cyno's backpack or remove items that don't belong by selecting the backpack icon.
Once fully packed, they'll have the option to increase the backpack's space, which can be done by either sharing the event, viewing the content in the 3.1 update, or following Genshin Impact on Twitter. This would increase the space by three times; if they had done all three tasks, they could bring additional items.
With the essentials now packed in the backpack, they can select the "head towards the desert" icon to begin their travels. Doing so will prevent them from changing the backpack's contents, so be sure to pack what they need.
