How to "Take Pictures of 3 Aranara of Different Colors" in Genshin Impact

As an avid Genshin Impact player with over 500 hours logged, I‘ve had the pleasure of encountering many unique events and challenges. One of my favorites is photographing the adorable Aranara during the recent Graven Innocence event.

Tracking down and capturing images of the elusive Aranara can be tricky, even for experienced travelers. That‘s why I‘ve created this comprehensive guide to help you swiftly find and photograph three differently colored Aranara to complete the challenge "Take Pictures of 3 Aranara of Different Colors."

An Overview of Aranara in Genshin Impact

Before we dive in, let‘s do a quick overview of the Aranara and their role in Genshin Impact.

The Aranara are elemental creatures connected to the earth and nature. According to lore, they were created by the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata to be the "heart" of the forest.

There are over 100 unique Aranara you can encounter during the Graven Innocence event. They live in a secret dreamworld version of Vanarana that you shift into using the "Rhythm of the Great Dream" gadget.

Aranara come in 4 main colors, each related to a different element:

Color Element
Orange Earth
Red Fire
Yellow Lightning
Green Forest

In their dreamworld, the Aranara play, forage, sing, and go about their business while invisible to normal humans. By using the special Kamera gadget, you can temporarily see and interact with them.

Now that you know about the Aranara, let‘s get into how to find and photograph them!

Step 1: Enter the Dreamworld

The first step is entering the Aranara‘s secret dreamworld. This is the only place you‘ll be able to see and photograph them.

To enter the dreamworld:

  • Teleport to the Statue of the Seven in Gandharva Ville
  • Make your way south down the hill towards the large, glowing tree
  • Interact with the base of the tree and use the "Rhythm of the Great Dream" gadget

After a short cutscene of falling petals, you‘ll shift into the ethereal dreamworld version of the forest. The lighting will become more vivid, with motes of light floating through the air.

Pro Tip: You can tell you‘re in the dreamworld when the minimap in the upper right has a leaf icon next to the location name.

Step 2: Equip the Kamera

With the dreamworld activated, open your inventory and equip the Kamera gadget.

You likely received the Kamera after completing the early Graven Innocence quests. If not, you can easily craft it using:

  • 1 Fungus Material
  • 1 Dendrobium Material
  • 20 Mora

The Kamera resembles an old-school box camera with Dendro motifs.

Once equipped, you‘ll be able to see and photograph the normally invisible Aranara. Time to start tracking them down!

Step 3: Locate and Photograph 3 Different Colored Aranara

Now for the fun part – locating and photographing three differently colored Aranara to complete the challenge.

The Aranara wander along fixed routes and areas in the dreamworld forest. Here are some tips to help pinpoint them:

  • Search around trees, shrubs, and cliffs where they like to hide
  • Follow butterflies and animals, as they often lead to Aranara
  • Head downhill from Statues of the Seven to find many
  • Use elemental sight to spot their glowing eyes peering from foliage
  • Target areas like thickets, ponds, and mushrooms known to house them

I recommend starting your search downhill from the Statue of the Seven near Gandharva Ville. This area has 3-4 Aranara spawns fairly close together, making it easier to photograph three.

Once you spot an Aranara, quickly enter camera mode and snap a picture! Try to capture their full body in the frame.

You‘ll then see a message confirming that you photographed one. Rinse and repeat this for two other differently colored Aranara.

Expert Tip: If you accidentally photograph the same color twice, go into your photos and delete one of the duplicates. This resets the challenge progress.

Prime Aranara Spawn Locations

While the Aranara do randomly spawn at spots, there are certain locations where specific colors can be reliably found.

Orange Aranara Spawns

  • Pond below the Statue of the Seven
  • Winding path south from the pond
  • Cliff edges west of the pond

Red Aranara Spawns

  • Coastline east of the pond
  • Downhill path east of the pond
  • Among the bamboo groves

Yellow Aranara Spawns

  • Giant mushrooms west of the pond
  • Tree trunks and branches around the pond
  • Forested area north of the pond

Green Aranara Spawns

  • Thicket of trees southwest of the pond
  • Deeper south part of the forest
  • Behind tree trunks and foliage near the pond

With over 100 possible spawn locations, this covers the major areas to check first. Keep these handy when hunting your needed Aranara types.

Red Coastline east of pond
Yellow Giant mushrooms west of pond

Now you have the steps and strategies to swiftly photograph three differently colored Aranara. This will complete the "Take Pictures of 3 Aranara of Different Colors" challenge and net you some sweet rewards.
