Mondstadt – The City of Freedom
Elemental Focus: Anemo (Wind currents, gliding mechanics)
Traversal: Open landscapes, beginner-friendly terrain, wind-based movement
Hazards: Sheer Cold in Dragonspine, wind barriers in Stormterror’s Lair
Mondstadt is the perfect starting point for new players, introducing the fundamental traversal mechanics of Genshin Impact. Its expansive, open spaces are ideal for running and gliding, while wind currents enable long-distance travel without draining stamina. This region is perfect for mastering the basics of exploration. Many puzzles here revolve around Anemograna, which create temporary wind currents to lift players into the air.
Natlan – The Nation of Pyro
Elemental Focus: Pyro (Phlogiston, Saurian Indwelling)
Traversal: Saurian abilities, Nightsoul mechanics, Phlogiston-based movement
Hazards: Abyssal Blight, Unstable Phlogiston Crystals, Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston
Natlan introduces a more dynamic and fast-paced exploration experience with its Saurian Indwelling system. Here are the unique abilities of the Saurians:
- Koholasaurs: Rapid swimming and high jumps using Jet-Set Eddies.
- Tepetlisaurs: Burrowing to navigate through inaccessible tunnels.
- Yumkasaurs: Grappling with their tongues, similar to a grappling hook.
- Qucusaurs: Flying and gliding, utilizing Phlogiston Wind Tunnels for sustained altitude.
The region also features Phlogiston, a volatile Pyro-based energy that powers Nightsoul abilities and exploration mechanics. However, it can be hazardous, with Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston rapidly depleting HP if not managed properly. Nightsoul abilities, exclusive to Natlanese characters, enhance combat and movement, allowing seamless character switching during various actions.
Environmental dangers in Natlan include Abyssal Blight, which blocks pathways until purified, and Unstable Phlogiston Crystals, which explode after a short delay. Some areas require Obsidian Rings to unlock Tribal Secret Spaces, providing access to hidden arenas and challenges.
Natlan’s dynamic traversal mechanics make it the most action-oriented region in Genshin Impact, demanding mastery of diverse movement techniques for efficient exploration.
Each region in Genshin Impact introduces new exploration mechanics, constantly evolving the world of Teyvat. From Mondstadt's simple gliding to Natlan's dynamic Saurian abilities, every area requires unique strategies for efficient exploration.
