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 wide-open spaces and wind currents make running and gliding effortless, allowing new players to master the basics of exploration. Wind currents facilitate long-distance travel without stamina consumption, while puzzles often involve Anemograna, which create temporary wind currents for aerial lifts.
Natlan – The Land of Pyro
Elemental Focus: Pyro (Phlogiston, Nightsoul abilities)
Traversal: Saurian Indwelling system, Phlogiston Wind Tunnels
Hazards: Abyssal Blight, Unstable Phlogiston Crystals
Natlan introduces the Saurian Indwelling system, featuring four distinct Saurian abilities:
- 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 harnesses Phlogiston, a volatile Pyro-based energy that powers Nightsoul abilities and exploration mechanics. However, Liquid and Gaseous Phlogiston can be hazardous, rapidly depleting HP if not navigated carefully. Natlan's environmental challenges include Abyssal Blight, which blocks pathways until purified, and Unstable Phlogiston Crystals, which explode when approached. Obsidian Rings 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 offers 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 effectively.
