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. Its vast, open spaces are ideal for running and gliding, with wind currents that enable long-distance travel without stamina consumption. This makes it an excellent starting point for new players to master the art of exploration. Many of the region's puzzles revolve around Anemograna, which create temporary wind currents to lift players into the air.
Natlan – The Land of Pyro
Elemental Focus: Pyro (Phlogiston-based mechanics)
Traversal: Saurian Indwelling system
Hazards: Abyssal Blight, Unstable Phlogiston Crystals
Natlan introduces a vibrant traversal system through its Saurian Indwelling mechanics, featuring different Saurian abilities:
- Koholasaurs: Swim rapidly and utilize Jet-Set Eddies for high jumps.
- Tepetlisaurs: Burrow underground, allowing passage through normally inaccessible tunnels.
- Yumkasaurs: Use their tongues like grappling hooks to interact with the environment.
- Qucusaurs: Fly and glide, using Phlogiston Wind Tunnels to maintain altitude.
The region harnesses Phlogiston, a volatile Pyro-based energy that powers Nightsoul abilities and enhances exploration. However, caution is required as Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston can rapidly deplete HP if not navigated correctly. Nightsoul abilities, unique to Natlanese characters, allow for seamless character switching during sprinting, climbing, and swimming, enhancing both combat and movement.
Environmental hazards include Abyssal Blight, which obstructs pathways until purified, and Unstable Phlogiston Crystals that explode shortly after being approached. Some areas necessitate the use of Obsidian Rings to unlock Tribal Secret Spaces, revealing hidden arenas and challenges.
Natlan's dynamic traversal mechanics make it the most action-packed and fast-paced 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 straightforward gliding to Natlan's complex Saurian abilities, every area demands different strategies for efficient exploration.
