The event also requires several quest prerequisites for eligibility, including the completion of the Archon Quest "Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves" and the "Ritou Escape Plan" quest that will be made available in Chapter 2: Act 1 upon arriving in Inazuma. This event will span a lengthy 19 days, running from July 22, 2021, and ending on August 9, 2021.

According to miHoYo, the gameplay for the "Thunder Sojourn" event will is phased in four different Acts, each with a respective quest to unlock.

Completing this round, Travelers will gain Thunder Pellets, Primogems, Mora, and other rewards.
•"Act 3: Weaving Lightning": Unlocking this Act on July 27, 2021, will require completing the "Crossing Storm Clouds" quest.
