Complete guide to unlocking Mini Seelie companions in Genshin Impact’s Lost Riches event

Lost Riches Event Overview

The highly anticipated Lost Riches event marks Genshin Impact’s first introduction of companion pets, offering players a chance to obtain adorable Mini Seelie companions through treasure hunting adventures across Teyvat.

This limited-time event provides more than just cosmetic companions – participants can also earn substantial rewards including Primogems, Mora, and character experience materials while exploring the game world.

Three distinct Mini Seelie variants (Dayflower, Rose, and Curcuma) are available, each with unique color schemes and animations. Players should choose carefully as only one can be claimed per account during the event period.

Step-by-Step Acquisition Guide

Before embarking on your treasure hunt, ensure you meet the prerequisites: Adventure Rank 20 completion and finishing “The Outlander Who Caught the Wind” archon quest. These requirements prevent newer players from accessing content beyond their current progression.

  1. Initiate the event by speaking with Ulman near Stone Gate. He provides the Treasure Book that tracks your progress and contains crucial location hints.
  2. Access the event interface (compass icon) to view daily treasure maps. New areas unlock progressively, with two locations becoming available each day.
  3. Utilize your Treasure-Seeking Seelie companion – this glowing guide intensifies its light as you approach buried Iron Coin caches, with distinct audio cues signaling proximity.

After collecting all 14 treasure troves (typically requiring 7 days of participation), visit the Event Shop to exchange your accumulated Iron Coins for your chosen Mini Seelie companion.

Advanced Strategies and Tips

Maximize efficiency by completing treasure hunts during your daily resin refresh routine. The Seelie’s detection range extends approximately 50 meters, so methodically grid each area rather than random searching.

Common mistakes include overlooking elevated or underground treasures – some caches are cleverly hidden on cliffs or in cave systems. Always check your mini-map for the Seelie’s directional indicator when the glow intensifies.

While the pets don’t provide gameplay advantages, they do react to environmental elements and character actions, creating unique photo opportunities. Try different team compositions to see varied interactions with your new companion.
