Genshin Impact 3.8 Event Guide – Sojourns of the Barking Fox
Sojourns of the Barking Fox Basics
During this event, players will be taking control of a Barking Fox, a flying creature. They're very similar to the gliding challenges the player has likely done both in previous events and in Genshin Impact. The only key difference is that the player does not have to worry about the altitude. They can, after all, control how high or how low the Barking Fox flies. The player can also hold the sprint button to speed up their Barking Fox. This uses up stamina.
The player must fly through the rings (Adventure Coins) to collect them, all while making their way to the finish line. The more Adventure Coins the player has, the higher the score will be. Additionally, going through an adventure coin refills your stamina. This means the player can indefinitely speed up their Barking Fox. Of course, this doesn't mean that the player can just take their time. Each level has a time limit that the player must meet. If time runs out, the challenge will fail. The amount of time the player has left after reaching the finish line will also affect the score they'll get.
While flying, the player will encounter Sleetdross Fruits and Disruptor Orbs. Hitting the fruits will cover the player's screen in mud, which limits your vision. The Disruptor Orbs, on the other hand, will shoot Disruption Waves at the player. This will slow the player down. Additionally, should the Barking Fox get hit by either of these obstacles, their remaining time will decrease.

General Game Plan
As long as the player follows the path laid out by the Adventure Coins, they will definitely be able to make it before time runs out. Should the player miss an Adventure Coin, they have time to turn around to grab it. As mentioned above as well, the player should always hold down their sprint button. This speeds the Barking Fox indefinitely, as the Adventure Coins refill the player's stamina.
Going through the center of each Adventure Coin is the optimal path in this challenge. Doing so will allow the player to avoid most, if not all, of the obstacles in the way. It's okay to hit one or two, as they will not decrease your time enough for it to matter. However, if you hit multiple, it might be better to just restart your run.
