Zibai released in February 3rd. The final part of Lantern Rite event also released in February 3rd.
>!The whole event is everyone tries to restore her. She is released right after she is restored!<

Yeah I was confused why lantern rite was starting before second half but once I did the part 1 story I realized what they were going for
Weaponmaster4702026-01-31 05:52
Hoyo timing the full restoration quests of both angelic Lunar ladies on their back to back debut banners. 🧑🍳🤌
AncientAd49962026-01-31 05:52
Double dipping with Columbina on their birthday being actually their rebirth-day I see
MaleQueef2026-01-31 07:54
Also opposites as well, Columbina is getting resurrected after being reconnected to the real moon while Zibai is getting resurrected after they free her from the shadow moon.
In a sense it completes the whole Archon’s having a twin equivalent that lives in the shadow that also is kinda an opposite to them with Columbina being the archon equivalent this year

her\*
Guilloisms2026-01-31 11:55
??
Their. They're talking about multiple people, so it's their.
Hadesash2026-01-31 12:34
Their, they and them are all perfectly usable when talking about individuals. Have been for a very long time. By typing that as if it is something to be corrected just shows that \*they\* are immature and \*they\* should be ignored until \*they\* grow up.
goodmqn_222026-01-31 06:26
so this year's Lantern Rite is gonna be >!another Bina revive situation!< all over again, and we're all here for it.
notolo6322026-01-31 06:43
Anyone know if this event will last multiple calendar days? Can I wait up and binge it?
thwrlsgenshin2026-01-31 06:58
to get the rewards you can play until February 23, the event will be available after that - like happened with Easy Breeze Summer event in 5.8 - but you won't get the rewards.
Endergamer333002026-01-31 06:58
This is the normal event format, so it's probadly not like Durins story quest and this one should be able to do in one go once all part are released.
Physical-Command21302026-01-31 06:59
the story is permanent like summer one
TetraNeuron2026-01-31 07:24
huh, guess that must mean the event is basically Zibai's character quest
Raikazi62026-01-31 07:00
The lantern rite lasts like 21 days. The story event just unlocks on the day she releases.
GrafonBorn2026-01-31 07:08
Goddammit. I'm still not sure who i want more: her or Varka. Ahhhh
Striking-Equipment552026-01-31 07:27
Well, one definitely has more numbers. .. and neither of them have beards. If Varka at least had a beard, I'd pull him. But I have a type.
NeitherAd72812026-01-31 09:05
Pretty good numbers I say:
* 10.5" length
* 6.5" girth
Easy decision.
Then_Following_64252026-01-31 11:51
What numbers are we talking about again?
beautheschmo2026-01-31 12:20
Poor Varka can't even win in that regard either 😔
suzumaki7422026-01-31 07:17
The thing about her revival is that it directly ties to what we did in Nod Krai....
If Columbina didn't bring the frost moon back, 1/3rd of Zibai would never be able to escape the fake moon and come back alive...
Also what's up with the gods trapping everyone on Moon based prisons?...
Artistic_Cable62182026-01-31 08:02
Well, first case was a dragon
MaleQueef2026-01-31 08:02
One is resurrecting from trying to reunite with the real moon while the other is breaking free from the fake moon to resurrect. Cool opposites
Unrelated but after the whole fake moon being gone I like how Zhongli refers the fake moon as the shadow moon instead. It rolls of the tongue and it sounds cooler that I wished it was called as that earlier
Serious-Flamingo-9482026-01-31 09:02
HP was a Neubilung fan who admired his work until he came out of retirement with a different genre that they didn't like (abyss). Multiple ladies managing space, time, etc? check. Moon prison? Check. 7 elemental managers? Check. Disproportionate retribution? Check.
casualgamerTX552026-01-31 17:46
Spot on. Both planetary overlords were also paranoid AF.
Apostlethe13th2026-01-31 10:02
But what if you haven't done the archon quest yet and you do the lantern rite quest? Is it gonna cause a glitch in the matrix?
kzzzzzzzzzz282026-01-31 10:15
nope, it'll simply assume you've completed the AQ and rip a hole in the space time continuum of your account and after you completed it the moons will return back to old normal until you finish the NK AQ.
It's why True Moon(Nk act 8) is a recommended quest to complete
This happened to me last year with Sumeru(I had gone to Port Ormos for Sumeru Act 1 only for the Nahida Birthday event cutscene to start )
HorribleDat2026-01-31 10:03
To be fair, if we never brought back the frost moon, >!neither will the fake moon's collapse happen!<
Glittering-Ad-16262026-01-31 07:23
I love lore accuracy but hate gatekeeping. 😭 We’ll get you outta that afterlife Zibai! Wait for me!
TheFast44442026-01-31 08:34
Aether: Pulling people out from the afterlife, I got a resume with that
fatyslayor2026-01-31 07:42
Cool thing is, they are integrating her story with the event's story
Cocoatrice2026-01-31 08:01
Yep. That's amazing what they did here. Also remember, since final part releases the same day as her banner, prefarm 6 boss materials less, since you are going to get it anyway.
silversoul0072026-01-31 08:04
Holding my savings until then. Ineffa is making it difficult!
anarchy7532026-01-31 08:15
Players baffled by company's ability to coordinate with... their own schedule.
Jnliew2026-01-31 09:47
I was instead wondering why this Lantern Rite wasn't timed with Chinese New Year like usual
Which this post gave me an answer
Particular-Club90812026-01-31 12:24
this year 1st lunar month fall in the last week of the patch there're simply not enough time
ankitjad2026-01-31 08:36
I like how genshin always does things systematically... that is onf of reasons why it doesnt lose its shine after 5 years...
starmadeshadows2026-01-31 09:01
Man I keep thinking she's wearing pants and getting disappointed
BlueRose6442026-01-31 10:10
Pretty cool way to do it, it makes her release feel like a real event.
I'm looking forward to the next acts of the Lantern Rite story over the next few days because I know that once Zibai revives at the end, her banner will go up too, and she can finally come home.
Khronify2026-01-31 11:10
I will say that 6.X has been such as step up when it comes to character stories and writing that I can't save primos anymore because I can't skip anybody!
I'm probably going to pull for every character that comes out during this patch cycle which I something I've never done before. Usually theres always a couple characters I could care less about but nope, not Nod-Krai.
If they keep this up for the 7.X and beyond then yeah... my wallet belongs to Hoyo I guess.
Vinisims2026-01-31 13:04
I'm honestly such a big fan of Lantern Rite this year. As soon as NK AQ ended I kept asking myself what the hell happened to the fake moon, did it get eaten by the frost moon? Destroyed? Just went poof? And the moment Zhongli dropped the bomb at the end of part 1 I was so goddam happy that they're tackling exactly my thoughts lol
KazakiriKaoru2026-01-31 13:20
Oh fuck off with the spoiler description. At least put like it like this

In a sense it completes the whole Archon’s having a twin equivalent that lives in the shadow that also is kinda an opposite to them with Columbina being the archon equivalent this year
