Phantasmal Pals event guide - Genshin Impact 6.6 minigames and rewards

Phantasmal Pals is the flagship event for Genshin Impact Version 6.6 Luna VII, running from May 22 through June 8, 2026. It pulls Klee, Yaoyao, Qiqi, Sayu, and the new character Prune into a "Little Hexenzirkel" tea party in Chinju Forest, then hands you four minigames tied to their imaginary friends. Clearing those minigames builds Pals Synergy, which unlocks Primogems, a Crown of Insight, and the free Super Awesome Magic Key claymore skin.

Event window and entry requirements

The event opens on May 22, 2026, and closes on June 8, 2026. Stages and quest parts unlock in phases over the first five days, so the full content is not available at launch.

The recommended quest is optional. You can play every minigame and claim every reward without it, but some character dialogue will reference events you have not seen.

Unlock phases and stage schedule

Content rolls out in three quest phases, with minigame stages staggered between them.

Starting the event: The Forest Boar and the Little Witch

The opening quest hands you straight into the cast and gives the first batch of Pals Synergy.

Step 1: Open the Events menu, select Phantasmal Pals, and accept the quest. The first objective sends you toward Alsa Bathhouse in Inazuma.

Step 2: Talk to the Energetic Passerby and Exhausted Passerby in Inazuma City to hear the rumors about a forest boar and a strange child asking about witches.

Step 3: Teleport to the marked waypoint in Chinju Forest. Prune drops in and introduces herself as a friend of Alice, showing off a bell, a hammer, and an old Spantamad textbook.

Step 4: Follow Prune along the purple ring trail and defeat the monster that appears (a Cryo Whopperflower or Large Geo Slime, depending on the route).

Step 5: Continue to the secret base, where Klee, Yaoyao, Qiqi, and Sayu greet you as the Little Hexenzirkel. Finishing the tea party scene completes Part 1 and unlocks all four minigames from the event menu.

You know the quest registered correctly when the Phantasmal Pals event panel shows the four minigame tiles as selectable, and Pals Synergy appears in the rewards tracker.

Fantasy Realm Performance (combat)

Prune's "Hunting Training" is the combat minigame. You pick two teams and clear waves of enemies inside a phantasmal domain, gaining Witchhunter Momentum to extend the timer.

The first stage, Shatter: Weak Points Spotted!, asks you to break enemy Wards using Geo damage. Bring at least one Geo DPS or off-field Geo applier. Pairings like Navia, Xilonen, Furina, and Bennett handle the Praetorian Golems and Geo Slimes quickly while keeping shield breaks consistent.

Later stages rotate elemental requirements, so build two functional teams of four with different cores rather than stacking your strongest comp twice.

Dodoco's Bomb-Rally Ruckus (aim and pass)

Klee passes a Jumpy Dumpty to her Dodoco companions scattered around the field. You adjust the angle, the power bar (distance), and a second meter that controls how far the bomb bounces after landing. Landing in green zones gives buffs; red zones penalize the throw.

Score is based on how few passes you need to clear every Dodoco. Equipping the Precise Projectile aid item makes early stages easier, and pre-planning chain bounces is the fastest way to hit multiple Dodocos with a single throw on later boards.

Gena's Great Escape (lane runner)

Sayu's imaginary tanuki Gena auto-runs forward. Use A and D to switch lanes and Space to jump over obstacles, collecting Onigiri along the way. Crashing into an obstacle drains Vitality, ending the run when it hits zero.

Pickups include Ninja Technique: Fortification, a temporary shield that lets you plow through one obstacle without losing Vitality. Prioritize lane changes that line up two or three Onigiri in a row rather than chasing isolated pickups in dangerous lanes.

A Little Walk Home (2D platformer)

You guide Yaoyao's companion Yuegui across side-scrolling stages to find Qiqi's finch Tuantuan and return to Bubu Pharmacy. Yuegui walks on its own. You place pedal mechanisms on the track to flip its direction, and later stages add fragile platforms that disappear shortly after Yuegui steps on them.

Each stage has up to three optional radishes. Plan pedal placements before pressing start so the path collects all three on a single run instead of needing a second attempt.

Pals Synergy rewards

Every minigame clear and quest part adds Pals Synergy to a single shared bar. The full reward table requires 1,000 Synergy.

The Super Awesome Magic Key claymore skin is granted through the minigame progression itself and stays in your inventory permanently after the event closes.

Minigame and quest reward breakdown

Adding the quest part and minigame totals together easily exceeds the 1,000 Synergy needed for the Crown of Insight, so missing a single hard stage will not lock you out of the top reward.

How to claim the Super Awesome Magic Key

The claymore skin is tied to overall event progress rather than a single stage clear. Play through the minigames as they unlock, accumulate Pals Synergy, and the skin appears in the Pals Gift reward track. Open the Phantasmal Pals event panel and tap Claim on the milestone where the skin sits to add it to your inventory. The appearance can then be equipped on any standard claymore from the character screen, and it stays usable after June 8, 2026.

If you only have time for one minigame per day, prioritize Fantasy Realm Performance and A Little Walk Home, since they give the highest combined Primogem and Synergy yield per stage and unlock the widest spread of secondary materials.
