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 expansive open spaces facilitate easy running and gliding, while wind currents enable long-distance travel without stamina consumption, ideal for new players learning the ropes of exploration. Many puzzles here involve Anemograna, which create temporary wind currents to elevate players into the air.
Natlan – The Land of Pyro
Elemental Focus: Pyro (Phlogiston-based energy)
Traversal: Saurian Indwelling system, Nightsoul abilities
Hazards: Abyssal Blight, Unstable Phlogiston Crystals
Natlan introduces a dynamic traversal system centered around the Saurian Indwelling abilities:
- Koholasaurs: Swim rapidly and utilize Jet-Set Eddies for high jumps.
- Tepetlisaurs: Burrow underground, allowing passage through otherwise 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.
The region also harnesses Phlogiston, a volatile Pyro-based energy that powers Nightsoul abilities and enhances exploration mechanics. However, Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston can be hazardous, rapidly depleting HP without the proper traversal tools.
Nightsoul abilities, exclusive to Natlanese characters, enhance both combat and movement, enabling seamless character switching during sprinting, climbing, and swimming. Environmental dangers include Abyssal Blight, which blocks pathways until purified, and Unstable Phlogiston Crystals that explode shortly after being approached. Some areas require Obsidian Rings to unlock Tribal Secret Spaces, offering access to hidden arenas and challenges.
Natlan’s dynamic 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 brings new exploration mechanics, making Teyvat a constantly evolving world. From Mondstadt’s straightforward gliding to Natlan’s dynamic Saurian abilities, every area demands unique strategies to explore effectively.
