its definitely not as memorable as enka or dragonspine imo, it was cool but the scenery isnt as good imo

i thought that it was the entirety of sumeru back then, only to realize its an underground mineshaft that kept being mentioned which i disregarded for my entire liyue playthrough lmao

Because it was released right before golden apple archipelago which will take most of the attention because it’s time limited, and then there’s sumeru that takes away all the attention completely

@@rubenlara4029 Idk, I personally found it the best and most memorable subarea, with all the different environments and quests.

still go there for ores and there are many more people who do so i would say from this list its the one that isnt forgotten

Same, the knowledge knowing there's no absolute presence there but you and your enemies deep down far from the surface scares me And also hearing some urban legends about people seeing a glitch of a ayato model just watching them from afar terrifies me, I know it's not real, but it scares me enough

for me its the opposite, i enjoy how deserted and dark enkanomiya and the chasm are. somehow knowing im all alone (besides some enemies who die immediately anyways) makes me feel like i am taking a nice break, far away from civilization and society

@@afellowhuman8944 True! Hopefully they would just integrate extension areas on the surface and not underground maps. At least by that we can still see the sky, although it is fake.

@@jj11233x That's something deep going on there. Nevertheless, happy to know someone truly enjoyed and enjoys exploring there.

Weaklings

Canonically, yes, that's correct. However if that's really the case then they could've sealed the place off after a certain point (like with the 40 day alt-reality Enkanomiya event place).

@@timothy__tt They did that with the chasm's bed: a place so dangerous and canonically virtually impossible to escape that it has to be sealed to keep people from dying in it. Actually, considering a couple months after that quest: IH re-popularized the story of a man who literally died trapped in a cave.... it makes it even creepier. That place is doomed to being forgotten except by lore buffs who use it to prove certain theories about the entire game.

I love enkonomiya and its mysterious vibe. But when the fake sun is turned off it kinda triggers me, makes me dizzy and wanna throw up. idk why

well. but not really. enkanomiya and its people were sealed off from the world because they knew something that heavenly powers deemed best kept a secret.

@@UBvtuber how do i look ipon the area you mention? What the actual name

i havent completed that quest and im a day 1 player. I do love liyue favorite place to visit.

Also, is "Chi of Yore"

Omg yes, those were the days haha

nah, there still quite often rolls commissions

That quest was so annoying. I was lucky enough to finish it when the totem or whatever it’s called only had 2% left.

You arent wrong

It was because I started playing a week before it came out so my sis had to help

fuck that quest where we have to melt the ice in the mountain lmao

Thaw all the shards out

I'm ar54 and my dragonspine is still at 30% exploration lmao. Idc if I'm missing out on stuff but I'm not doing it 😆

I go there a lot for the mora leylines

I actually go there a lot just to vibe to the music

Ehh i do go there a lot nowdays since i grind leylines do bosses and and grind drop items and mostly am the type a guy that would just look at other side of the map out of bounds just to guess where the other regions would be located even search for lore about this game cuz i honestly don't know too much about it i do this a lot and gives me a reason to stay and play a lil longer instead of just spending my resin doing my commissions and log off lmao

I go there to grind samachurls

often mondstadt leylines are the fastest to farm and some of them are located in Stormterror's lair.

WHAT BOSS! TELL ME!

@@cloberlobster2276 the eye of the storm boss

I wasn't able to find the boss after it fled the island

Enkanomiya event was great, I hope they'll release more re-exploration events in locations like these.

i was so sad during ruu s quest i never came back because i didnt wanna see him dea

@@sanyanders fingers crossed, bro

@@junobrodin4243 Rudy's story is really really sad. That is why we will remember it for a long time

That's exact reason why I stay away from them xD no humans, no sign of life besides monsters... there's no sky in enkanomiya... yeah I'd take mond, liyue, and sumeru scenery over that. Liyue and sumeru especially have really heartwarming and nostalgic tracks

Isn't that every other open world games in general tho?

@@lechungus1832 no RDR2 & BOTW there’s always new things

The Problem is, since they want to let the game run for mobile Devices too, they hinder themself which is the reason they dont implement a lot of Things and the World feels rather empty.

yes, like in tower of fantasy.

@@ASkilledTactician BOTW? That game is even more empty.

If you don't mind could you send us a link to the route? mining using routes from pre-Chasm has been exhausting me

@@adamiqmal9627 Guides are all over KZfaq my man..

Me : laugh in more than 4500 weapon blue xp materials

Yes Agree ! Best place for mining crystal ore. The chasm guaranteed respawn the crystal ores after 2 days. While in the open world, most of the time the crystal ore spots didnt respawn all the crystal for 3 days and even a week !

@@adamiqmal9627 never thought to do one myself, but yeah there's a ton of guides out there that will have you loaded in record time.

Same, back when I had hope for the game to not be a steaming pile of garbage like it is now.

@@taylon5200 I think the game is pretty good now even, just.. Stay away from the community

@@taylon5200 how is it hot garbage now

Kinda wish to forget everything and then playing again I remembered the first time i use amber It was really fun Now with childe it is just boring how i can take down enemy with 1 or 2 hits

Literally same :,) when everyone was talking about mondstadt and it’s lore all those dragonspine tutorial videos

i think you mean the agates

I haven’t seen many people who like Dragonspine too, and yh I agree with you Dragonspine was the first area I got to a 100%, and I’ll never forget the pain of the quests

its definitely my favourite subarea, it just feels so nostalgic and it has some of the best bgm in the game, and i too like the sheer cold mechanic, everyone's always complaining about it but for me it just makes the whole "snowy mountain" so much more immersive and more dangerous

+ the beautiful OST especially the moonlight smile

are you...a masochist?

SAME I never really liked exploring before but enkanomiya was just so amazing that I had to complete the achievement

It's good for farming chaos robots since there are a lot there.

Samee

Don't forget about the music

i also really like Enkanomiya but My fav will always be Mondstadt :D

Okay calm down there no need to cry. It's a game.

@@cummiestcat Same energy as saying, no need to cry is a movie.

We can't be emotional moved by music now?

Ikr after finishing the quest I just can't bring myself to explore tsurumi island because I keep feeling sad whenever I heard the music.

​@@cummiestcatOi lad, it's okay to cry with a game, as well that it is to cry for a book, a movie or a series.

In Port Omos if you talk to the NPC’s on the dock one of them tells you about how Fontaine has a diving helmet tech to explore underwater. Hoping with the release of Fontaine we can actually swim under water and start exploring many of the underwater ruins in Teyvat.

@@AstraLuna-o9i We can't, it's confirmed by in-game files that in Fontaine there will be a special type of water, in which we can dive, unlike normal water. Diving zones only in Fontaine for now.

I think that girl might be dead.🥲

Lol,i have 50% exploration in enkanomia and 100% in dragonspine and chasm😂

Actually the maps file doesnt eat much, you know what takes the most of your storage ? The storyline FMVs and voice languange 😂😂😂

@@Bloomsberrybubble And you can uninstall the voicelines in the settings' resource package I believe

@@miothepurrito if i remember correctly only for mobile, on pc no u can't delete it

@@rayshadows3155 my PS4 either, its sucks to download over 25GB for each updates 😂😂😂

@@Bloomsberrybubble Voice lines and pre-rendered fmv’s are not the making up the bulk of Genshin’s size lmfao, they make up like less than 25%. High resolution textures are practically *always* the largest asset in a game.

The enka opening sight and that sight in the chasm just before we got to the upside down city,,,,, and also right at the end of the chasm exploration when we saw the chasm celestial nail,,,,,,,, THOSE. those were genuinely breathtaking.

Yo same, I would always let Ruu's OST finish before I leave the island. Ruu's quest will always be my favorite quest of all time.

i never got any commissions on tsurumi 😬 despite having inazuma comms for a lil while at a time

@@rymikai this is strange bc there are at least 4 different commissions that can pop up in Tsurumi Island. You’d think that by now you would get at least one

@@arcaneghost2459 yeah go figure, at some point i had just assumed it was a zone without commissions because how far it is lore wise and nobody would adventure there to even need help or whatever

Sorry to say this but, Ruu is kinda lame. Now Neko's questline brings me heartache for so many different reasons. Did you know that Neko is a cat?

...and forgotten.

Chain Questline and limited Event Quests differ in hierarchy. As such, limited event quests need voice lines to make them memorable unlike permanent quests.

@@emptyallen3334 but the permanent quest can only be done once so it’s still limited in the same way event quests are

@@WeiYinChan BUT they are permanent. Limited Event Quests go away

@@emptyallen3334 they are permanent in that you can do them at any time you like, but just like the event quest, once you do them you can’t redo them. So “permanent event don’t need voice line to make them more memorable” doesn’t make much sense.

@@WeiYinChan This is simply a faulty analogy fallacy. They are the same in a sense of a preemptive context, yet their core essence begs to differ. Before everything, let us define both terms. Limited Event Quests are quests in limited events. This examplifies that once the event ceases, it can no longer be accessed by the playerbase. It is limited in the truth of a time frame and not of its permanence. Permanent Quests are quests that aren't limited to a certain time frame, in simpler terms "permanent". They are accessible to the general playerbase and doesn't require a restrictive time period for it to be played. A quest fulfills its purpose if it has been completed. Replayability doesn't equate to its permanence. In all essence, both can be identified as quests yet the major difference is that one is in a limited time frame, while the latter is available in all times. Availability is the core factor in the assessment of both and not of its unified characteristic of being a quest. Limited Major Event Quests are given voice lines by the developers for the reason of it being limited. If the event quest is just a text wall after another without voice acting , the general opinion of the playerbase will be in the sense of it being annoying and forgettable. Think of it as the law of supply and demand. If the supply is surplus, the demand is quite low. On the other hand, if the supply is scarce, then consequently, its demand will be high. Limited Major Events are higher in the hierarchy of quests for this very reason. These are limited Event Quests, why shouldn't they add voice acting? In addition, it would make great use of the talents of the voice actors. If Ruu in the serai island chain Questline was voice acted and got more salary than the past voice actors, wouldn't it be quite unfair? This is precisely one of the many reasons why. Exposure for the past characters and increasing their relevance are quite important for a buisness model like Hoyoverse's in the long run.

Nah Seirai Island has a f*ck ton of ruin sentinels inside the underground cave in Amakumo Peak

@@imaginecheating9307 yeh and around other inazuma islands as well, that’s why I had it in parentheses since you can _also_ get mats in underground chasm too lol

and the chaos knights too i need them for weapon mats asc

Im AR 58, I remember not wanting to rush ANY of the missions and just explore at my own pace, since irl im usually really busy. To this day I havent found all of the liyue’s chests and I’m still looking for them. (My characters are stacked though :p)

I’m sure we will visit Enkanomiya again. There’s still the Vishap Shrine Maiden story that hasn’t been resolved. I wouldn’t be surprised if we meet her again in Enkanomiya and maybe they will expand the area.

imagien the susbedo jumps on u when u go there lol-

for me, mondstadt is very warm and like a home (even if i don't visit often), but i barely look at places outside of dragonspine, springvale, and the city mainly because it's only open plains and mountains without a whole lot of ruins like in liyue and inazuma. also, (hoping i read it correctly) if you're having trouble unlocking enkanomiya, you'll have to do a watatsumi quest to get the area and (i think( for the underground part of the chasm you'll have to do an archon quest to unlock it

whenever i need to craft i always go back to mondstadt

i think it's intentionally forgotten, there's a popular and pretty believable theory that we will be coming back to mond at the end of the game to end it's all where it's all began and all that epic stuff

They still haven’t released all of Mondstat. Hopefully when Mika becomes playable they will release Dornman’s Port, and the northern area of Mondstat. I definitely don’t think Mondstat’s role in the game is over. We still have to meet Varka as well.

@@AstraLuna-o9i Ohh yeah! I forgot about Varka. 😅

Truly blissful days

Thats what I love about helping my low AR friends. Them panicking over some hilichurls while I get a break from rifthounds and funghi.

Damn, I skipped the whole thing lmao

@@daizenmarcurio lmao same

@@daizenmarcurio same kinda, it's a good story but God damn does it have SO MUCH EXPOSITION

@@daizenmarcurio the way your profile suits your reply 😭😭

Yes, it's true: on the surface often falls one piece of ore - but in underground Chasm this is a rarity, there are usually two to four pieces!

i hate sumeru. to me it's by far the worst region. exploration is a chore. they threw away all the good design philosophies the other regions had for exploration. sumeru is too large. and i don't mean it has too much stuff, i mean everything in there is oversized for no reason. it results in pretty vistas that are incredibly bad to explore and feel super baren and sparse. not NEARLY as dense as other regions. it's like sumeru is made for gundams, not normal humans. not to mention the caves. oh, i can't put how much i hate them into words properly. and let's not forget that they gate exploration behind terribly long and boring quests. i hate everything about sumeru. can't wait to go to the next country and i hope they fix all of this crap in that one. also, because everything is so big and this game's draw distance is SO FREAKING BAD, you fly above a region looking for things to do and you might miss EVERYTHING because you're not close enough to be able to even see them. like, for real? who designed this region? liyue is actually peak exploration. traversal is awesome, and most of liyue is triple-layered (ground level, mid-mountain paths, peaks), while transitions between layers being possible at any time and all three being easily read from a map, and you can climb high and see the dense dotting of interactables throughout the terrain in all layers. it is just a delight to explore. dragonspine is a close second. mondstadt is a bit too basic, but nothing about it is offensively bad, so it's a good region. inazuma is okay, but most islands have one or other exploration unfriendliness about them, like cliffs with protrusions you can't climb. it's still decent. but it has the densest elite monster spawns, so it's the most fun region to coop in (i mean, after enkanomiya, that is the BEST region to do elite routes in, but it's like part of inazuma so yeah still counts for inazuma). lots of monsters to kill. sumeru just made everything inazuma does wrong a hundred times worse. and the monsters suck on top of it, lol.

I was so confused when I was looking for a chest that contained a piece for my serenitea pot, only to release that the chest spawned on a specific day.

Oh wow thanks!! :0 Im at 65% atm and still going, but if I ever need help, now i know!! ^w^ I thought you need to wait next day for some chests, is this a mechanic at all on tsurumi, or what you said??

​@@sumyguck8094 for that I think you need to do the ghost quest , it is hidden quest on Tsurumi Island that quest can be started after you done the Ruu main quest. search some video about it for detail

really? artifact farm in these places? they suck for artifacts. there's a hard limit of 150 artifacts a day (if you ONLY loot artifacts and nothing else), so you don't need all regions to reach that quota. best places for artifacts are kannazuka, seirai, the small island in between kannazuka and narukami island, the outer route for watatsumi, dragon spine (not a lot but they're quick to get and dense), some places in liyue like sal terrae and that treasure hoarder camp on the northern part of bishui plains, as well as that router west of the wangshu inn, and now the pyramid in sumeru's desert and the temple in front of it have a shitload of artifacts too, plus an underground route behind the pyramid

I used to farm that one certain location in Liyue filled with artifacts fodder every day but nowadays I rather go to Sumeru dessert ruin because they have decent amount.

My commissions are always in Mondstadt, I have never even tried doing them in Inazuma and Sumeru ^^

But a month ago, I accidentally found a missing torch puzzle in Liyue! XD

Ekanomiya can be entered through the pool in watatsumi, although it has a quest which allows you to access it

@@rize9893 Ohh, I see... Thanks, I'll look up that Quest ^^

Its in sumeru. 3.4 new area

I don’t do that (I don’t have her)😢

@Lu M Oh, there's plenty! First of all, unlocking the secret room requires that you defeat all nine Black Serpent Knights throughout the Chasm: Underground Mines. Each of them has a unique dialogue as you approach and as you defeat them. Some of these Black Serpents speak of the fall of Khaenri'ah, or at least what remains of their memories of it when they were still human. But others of their rank can be found wallowing in patches of dark mud, and are implied to be echoing memories that are not their own (that's to say, they may not be talking about the disaster in Khaenri'ah, but instead of the Unified Civilization's downfall millennia prior... this is due to the fact that the dark mud is a manifestation of Ley Line energy leaking out and revealing memories to anyone who comes into contact with it). There's also a bit more: the materials that the Black Serpents drop are depictions of a one-eyed king, who, based on the Norse inspirations of the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah and its people, seems to match the description of a certain Odin from Norse mythology. Very interesting stuff! When you defeat all nine of them and obtain the Orbs of the Blue Depths, you can unlock the secret room at the far end of the Nameless Ruins' inverted city to find this letter, the complete version of which can only be found by piecing the readable fragments from various Travelers (in other words, multiple game accounts): "Not as if I were to be outfitted as that guardian of Khaenri'ah Not as if my destructive self were made to be the lyre of Barbatos Not as if I were to soar like a Pegasus Not if I were the swift, snow-white pair of Morphes Add these to the feather-footed and the winged And likewise, call for the swiftness of the winds And though you should harness these, friend, and offer them to me Yet I should be tired to the bone And worn away by frequent faintness My friend, while I would search for you The heavens fall to pieces And falsehoods collapse" It's a Genshin transcription of a work written by a real-life Roman poet named Catullus, and I find it especially notable that Barbatos, of all names, would show up here! Venti's looking to be a whole lot more than he seems...
