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 to master the art of exploration. Many puzzles here involve Anemograna, which create temporary wind currents to lift players into the air.
Natlan – The Land of Pyro
Elemental Focus: Pyro (Phlogiston, Nightsoul abilities)
Traversal: Saurian Indwelling system, Nightsoul abilities
Hazards: Abyssal Blight, Unstable Phlogiston Crystals
Natlan introduces a thrilling array of traversal mechanics through its Saurian Indwelling system:
- 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.
The region also features 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 used.
Nightsoul abilities, exclusive to Natlanese characters, enhance combat and movement, allowing seamless character switching during sprinting, climbing, and swimming.
Environmental dangers 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 simple gliding to Natlan’s dynamic Saurian abilities, each area requires different strategies to explore efficiently.
