When Genshin Impact tells players to "wait until the following night" during a recent Lantern Rite Tales quest called "A Very Festive Problem," the instructions are just unclear enough that some players may need clarification on what's expected. Genshin Impact is in the midst of its Lantern Rite festival as part of its version 1.3 update, which tasks players with a number of different responsibilities - including improving the lives of Liyue citizens ahead of the festival's main event.

Most of these Genshin Impact quests are pretty straightforward, and involve a crash course on one or several lore aspects of the Lantern Rite while also sending the player to various locations throughout Liyue. The Lantern Rite festival has been well-designed from developer miHoYo, familiarizing players with the concepts of the event while also giving players plenty of incentive to continue to explore Liyue as part of the questline. On top of these tasks, players have also been given a tower defense sub-game called Theatre Mechanicus that offers plenty of great rewards for newcomers and veterans alike, including the chance at a free Genshin Impact 4-Star character.

All of those prizes and how to get them are clear, but what Genshin Impact's "wait until the following night" actually means is a little less so. For players attempting to speed through the Lantern Rite festival due to time constraints, the kinds of speedbumps like the one in "A Very Festive Problem" can be frustrating. Luckily, it's as simple as waiting an extra day - when Genshin Impact's quest prompt informs players they must "wait until the following night," what it really means is that they need to wait until tomorrow night.

That can be crystal clear depending on when players reach this point of the quest, because if the in-game time is already evening and the quest hasn't updated, they'll simply advance the clock one day. However, if players hit this part of the quest in the morning or during the day, it seems like all it will take is to wait until the nighttime period of that same day to complete "wait until the following night." That doesn't work, however, and for some players, that's been a source of frustration and a step they need to look up to complete.

Luckily, sorting out "A Very Festive Problem" in Genshin Impact isn't too difficult, even if it's a little unclear. Completing all the Lantern Rite festival tasks is the best way to ensure players get the maximum value out of the event, and with so much available in Genshin Impact version 1.3 update, there's really no reason not to - just remember that "wait until the following night" actually means tomorrow night, and it can save a little extra time in the long run.
