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 introduces players to Genshin Impact's fundamental traversal mechanics. Its expansive, open fields are perfect for running and gliding, while wind currents facilitate long-distance travel without stamina consumption, ideal for new players learning to explore. Many puzzles here involve Anemograna, which generate temporary wind currents to elevate players.
Natlan – The Land of Pyro
Elemental Focus: Pyro (Phlogiston-based mechanics)
Traversal: Saurian abilities, Nightsoul enhancements
Hazards: Abyssal Blight, Unstable Phlogiston Crystals, Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston
Natlan introduces a dynamic traversal system centered around Saurian abilities:
- Koholasaurs: These creatures enable rapid swimming and the use of Jet-Set Eddies for high jumps.
- Tepetlisaurs: They can burrow, allowing access through otherwise unreachable tunnels.
- Yumkasaurs: Their tongues act as a grappling hook, facilitating traversal across wide gaps.
- Qucusaurs: They provide the ability to fly and glide, utilizing Phlogiston Wind Tunnels to maintain altitude.
The region also employs Phlogiston, a volatile Pyro-based energy that powers Nightsoul abilities and exploration mechanics. However, handling Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston requires caution as they can rapidly deplete HP without proper traversal tools.
Nightsoul abilities, unique to Natlanese characters, enhance both combat and movement, enabling seamless character switching during sprinting, climbing, and swimming.
Environmental challenges include Abyssal Blight, which blocks pathways until purified, and Unstable Phlogiston Crystals, which explode upon approach. Some areas demand the use of Obsidian Rings to access Tribal Secret Spaces, offering hidden arenas and challenges.
Natlan's traversal mechanics make it the most fast-paced and action-oriented region in Genshin Impact, requiring players to master various movement techniques for efficient exploration.
Each region in Genshin Impact introduces new exploration mechanics, making Teyvat a continuously evolving world. From Mondstadt's simple gliding to Natlan's dynamic Saurian abilities, every area presents unique strategies for effective exploration.
