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 serves as the perfect introduction to Genshin Impact's traversal mechanics. With its expansive open spaces, running and gliding are made easy, and wind currents enable players to cover long distances without using stamina, ideal for newcomers learning to explore. Many puzzles here revolve around Anemograna, which create temporary wind currents to lift players into the air.
Natlan – The Land of Pyro
Saurian Abilities:
- Koholasaurs: Swim rapidly and use Jet-Set Eddies for high jumps.
- Tepetlisaurs: Burrow underground, allowing passage through normally inaccessible tunnels.
- Yumkasaurs: Use their tongues to grapple onto objects, similar to a grappling hook.
- Qucusaurs: Fly and glide, using Phlogiston Wind Tunnels to maintain altitude.
Natlan introduces Phlogiston, a volatile Pyro-based energy that powers Nightsoul abilities and exploration mechanics. However, Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston can be hazardous, rapidly depleting HP unless proper traversal tools are used. Nightsoul abilities, exclusive to Natlanese characters, enhance combat and movement, allowing seamless character switching during sprinting, climbing, and swimming.
Environmental dangers in Natlan include Abyssal Blight, which blocks pathways until purified, and Unstable Phlogiston Crystals, which explode after a short delay when approached. Some areas require the use of Obsidian Rings to unlock Tribal Secret Spaces, granting access to hidden arenas and challenges.
Natlan’s dynamic traversal mechanics make it the most fast-paced and action-oriented region in Genshin Impact so far, requiring players to master different movement techniques for efficient exploration.
Each region in Genshin Impact presents new exploration mechanics, transforming Teyvat into an ever-evolving world. From the straightforward gliding in Mondstadt to the dynamic Saurian abilities in Natlan, every area necessitates unique strategies for effective exploration.
