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 encourage running and gliding, while wind currents enable long-distance travel without stamina depletion, ideal for beginners. Players will encounter puzzles involving Anemograna, which create temporary wind currents to elevate them into the air.
Natlan – The Land of Pyro
-------------------------------Elemental Focus: Pyro (Phlogiston-based mechanics)
Traversal: Saurian Indwelling system
Hazards: Abyssal Blight, Unstable Phlogiston Crystals
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 utilized.
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, making Teyvat a constantly evolving world. From Mondstadt's straightforward gliding to Natlan's dynamic Saurian abilities, players must adapt different strategies to explore efficiently.
