Genshin Impact's Cheer for the Sacred Flame Pilgrimage: A 2026 Recap
Relive Genshin Impact's Cheer for the Sacred Flame Pilgrimage, a Natlan web event with community cheers and 4-star weapon rewards.
In the world of Teyvat, web events often feel like small festivals that let Travelers step outside the game for a moment. The Cheer for the Sacred Flame Pilgrimage was exactly that kind of celebration. It invited players to explore Natlan, learn its stories, and support the Sacred Flame Pilgrimage through a simple cheering mechanic. The event originally ran from August 22, 2024, to September 24, 2024, at 23:59 UTC+8. Because the current date is 2026, it is no longer active, and its rewards cannot be claimed after the event ended. Still, for anyone curious about Natlan's early promotional history, it remains an interesting recap.

During the event, players could check out the new characters and landscapes of Natlan and learn more about Natlan's stories. They could also cheer for the Sacred Flame Pilgrimage by logging in to the web event. That login automatically granted one chance to cheer. After cheering, the event randomly added 1–8 Cheers to the global total. The community-wide goal was 30 million Cheers across all servers. Once that total was reached, the corresponding rewards unlocked. It was a cooperative push, and the rewards were tied to the milestone rather than to individual luck alone.
The reward pool included three forgeable 4-star weapons and their Ascension Materials. The weapons were Ring of Yaxche, Footprint of the Rainbow, and Earth Shaker. The Ascension Materials were Delirious Decadence of the Sacred Lord ×6, Blazing Sacrificial Heart's Terror ×3, Axis of the Secret Source ×3, Shard of a Shattered Will ×3, Ignited Stone ×3, Sentry's Wooden Whistle ×4, and Damaged Mask ×2.
| Reward Type | Items |
|---|---|
| 4-star weapons | Ring of Yaxche, Footprint of the Rainbow, Earth Shaker |
| Ascension Materials | Delirious Decadence of the Sacred Lord ×6, Blazing Sacrificial Heart's Terror ×3, Axis of the Secret Source ×3, Shard of a Shattered Will ×3, Ignited Stone ×3, Sentry's Wooden Whistle ×4, Damaged Mask ×2 |
Travelers who participated in the cheering during the web event received the rewards. Distribution happened via in-game mail after the Version 5.0 update. Players who joined the web event before Version 5.0 had to wait patiently. New players with only a HoYoverse Account could also cheer. Their rewards were automatically sent to the character's account via in-game mail within 1–2 days after the character was created. If the rewards did not appear after creating the new account, the player could return to the event page and click to claim them again. However, the account had to be created before September 24, 2024, at 23:59:59. Otherwise, the rewards expired and could not be claimed.
Each UID could participate in the Cheer for the Sacred Flame Pilgrimage once and could receive only one set of rewards. Cheers obtained through any means that violated laws, regulations, or user agreements were not counted. Due to the large volume of data, there was a 5–10 minute delay in displaying Cheer points. That delay was normal and required patience.
Beyond cheering, the web event offered other small rewards. Viewing the Natlan Display Page granted Primogems ×40 and Hero's Wit ×5. Successfully sharing for the first time in the web event granted Mora ×20,000. These in-game rewards were distributed via in-game mail, and the mail expired after 30 days. Players were reminded not to forget to claim them in time. The web event was provided purely for entertainment. It was not indicative of any related gameplay features in Genshin Impact.

In 2026, the key takeaway is simple: this event has concluded. The rewards cannot be claimed after the event ends, and any 2024 mail would have expired 30 days after delivery. So no active code or claim button remains. Players who want similar Natlan-themed rewards should watch for current Genshin Impact web events instead. Official social media platforms and HoYoLAB remain the best places to join discussions, but the Sacred Flame Pilgrimage itself belongs to the Version 5.0 launch period.
All in all, the Cheer for the Sacred Flame Pilgrimage was a light, community-driven web event. It asked for a login, a cheer, and a shared milestone. In return, it offered weapons, Ascension Materials, Primogems, Hero's Wit, and Mora. For players who were there in 2024, it was a small but memorable part of Natlan's arrival. For players reading in 2026, it is a reminder that web events are temporary, and claiming rewards on time matters.
