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 gently introduces Genshin Impact's core traversal mechanics. Its expansive landscapes encourage running and gliding, while abundant wind currents facilitate long-distance travel without excessive stamina consumption. This makes it perfect for newcomers to learn the ropes of exploration. Many puzzles cleverly utilize Anemograna, generating temporary updrafts for airborne traversal.
Natlan – The Land of Fire
Elemental Focus: Pyro (Phlogiston, Saurian mounts)
Traversal: Saurian mounts (Koholasaurs, Tepetlisaurs, Yumkasaurs, Qucusaurs), Phlogiston Wind Tunnels
Hazards: Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston, Abyssal Blight, Unstable Phlogiston Crystals
Natlan introduces a revolutionary approach to traversal with its Saurian mounts: Koholasaurs offer rapid swimming and impressive jet-set eddy jumps; Tepetlisaurs burrow underground, revealing hidden passageways; Yumkasaurs utilize their tongues as grappling hooks; and Qucusaurs soar through the air, using Phlogiston Wind Tunnels for sustained flight. The region also introduces Phlogiston, a volatile Pyro energy powering Nightsoul abilities and exploration. However, Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston pose a significant threat, rapidly draining HP unless appropriate traversal tools are used.
Nightsoul abilities, exclusive to Natlanese characters, seamlessly integrate into combat and movement, enabling fluid character switching during sprinting, climbing, and swimming. Environmental hazards include Abyssal Blight, obstructing pathways until purified, and Unstable Phlogiston Crystals, which explode upon approach. Some areas require Obsidian Rings to unlock Tribal Secret Spaces, revealing hidden challenges and rewards.
Natlan’s dynamic traversal mechanics create a fast-paced and action-oriented experience, demanding mastery of various movement techniques for efficient exploration.
Each Genshin Impact region presents novel exploration mechanics, constantly evolving Teyvat's landscape. From Mondstadt's simple gliding to Natlan's dynamic Saurian abilities, each area necessitates unique strategies for optimal exploration.
