Among the many Achievements in Genshin Impact, Swift as the Wind has to be one of the easiest to obtain. However, it is considered a hidden Achievement, so players may have a hard time figuring out how to get it, especially since the release of Sumeru brought forth many new reactions and added a lot of exploration mechanics like the Powers of Kusava, Dendrogranum, Dendro Rocks, and Tri-Yana Seeds.
Within the Mawtiyima Forest, there are three mushroom-like mechanisms that can only be seen by activating a Truesense Pulse. It’s a new mechanic in Genshin Impact that occur when Tri-Yana Seeds come in contact with Electro. This allows players to see things that were hidden, and sometimes it can be part of a puzzle.
How To Get Swift As The Wind Achievement In Genshin Impact
To get the Swift as the Wind Achievement, three wind currents must be activated in the Mawtiyima Forest. Travelers can also get another Achievement when trying to complete this one.
Wind Current #1
Follow these steps to reach the first Tri-Yana Seed:
- Travel to the Statue of the Seven west of the Electro Regisvine in Genshin Impact
- Walk a little north to a bouncy mushroom. Jump on it to find a second Bouncy Mushroom.
- Upon landing, activate the second bouncy mushroom using Electro to jump even higher.
- At the top of the bounce, players will see a Four-Leaf Sigils. Use it to land near a Seelie Court.
- Move slightly forward (northeast) and look down. There should be a plant with two Anemo Slimes slightly below. Glide there to find the first Tri-Yana Seed.
Hit the floating Tri-Yana Seed with Electro to unravel the hidden mechanism. Interact with it to activate the first wind current.
Wind Current #2
Now, go to the northern Mawtiyima Forest Teleport Waypoint. Glide east past the tall plant and drop to the pond below. Three Anemo Slimes, along with a Tri-Yana Seed, will be there. Attack the creature with Electro to activate the second wind current.
On a side note, flying up the current will reward players with a Dendroculus.
Wind Current #3
Travel back to the Mawtiyima Forest Teleport Waypoint in Genshin Impact, and this time head northeast. Keep gliding until a tall plant with Dendro objects appears, ignore it, and land on the taller plant underneath it. Same thing, unravel the hidden mechanism to activate the third and last wind current.
Once all three currents are activated, the Swift as the Wind Achievement will be acquired. Like many other Wonders of the World Achievements in Genshin Impact, this one rewards five Primogems. The wind currents don’t appear to have any special use other than reaching very high areas quickly.
Another Achievement that can be obtained while getting this one is the Explorer. It’s obtained by using Electro on a Tri-Yana Seed for the first time to uncover what’s hidden. The Explorer Achievement will also reward five Primogems, meaning players will have 10 Primogems in total.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
