Embarking on adventures is a key element of the gameplay experience in Genshin Impact. The game offers players breathtaking scenery and meticulously designed locations that are truly awe-inspiring.
While beauty is abundant in the world of Genshin Impact, it also values hard work and perseverance. Some of the most enchanting places in the game are also the most arduous to explore. However, despite the daunting challenges, there are numerous ways to make these journeys more manageable.
Updated by Aditi Jeyanathan on April 10, 2024: Beyond its captivating lore and diverse characters, the realm of Genshin Impact boasts some of the most visually stunning locations. Players venturing through this world have the chance to witness awe-inspiring landscapes and create enduring memories, albeit at a significant cost. Certain areas in Genshin Impact present formidable exploration challenges due to harsh weather conditions, intricate puzzles, complex terrains, or intricate lore that requires unlocking. With the introduction of Inazuma and Sumeru, players have encountered even more demanding regions, expanding the list of challenging locations.
16 Jueyun Karst
Cloud Ringed Peaks
When players of Genshin Impact think of Liyue, the image of towering mountains instantly comes to mind. Among the mountainous regions, Jueyun Karst stands out for its notorious reputation. Scaling these peaks can be particularly demanding, especially considering the frequent events occurring both at the mountain's base and summit, necessitating multiple ascents.
Despite the challenges posed by these mountains, they offer certain advantages not found in similar areas. Teleport beacons are conveniently located atop many main peaks, and the presence of wind streams in the region facilitates smooth gliding experiences.
15 Dragonspine
The Unyielding Mountain
Among the colossal mountains in Mondstadt and Liyue, Dragonspine reigns supreme, introduced in update 1.2. This imposing peak hosts Albedo's narrative, the Cryo Hypostasis, and the challenging Peak of Vindagynr domain.
One of the predominant obstacles in scaling Genshin Impact's most formidable mountain is Sheer Cold, a condition that gradually saps the player's health away from heat sources. Mitigating this threat requires strategic planning, such as keeping a Pyro character in the party to counteract the chilling effects.
14 Mikage Furnace
Dominated by Balethunder
In Inazuma, Mikage Furnace stands out as a perilous location where players face a unique threat known as Balethunder, a rare condition found only in select areas.
Similar to Sheer Cold, Balethunder steadily diminishes the player's health, albeit at a slower pace. However, unlike Sheer Cold, Balethunder cannot be dispelled merely by proximity to a heat source; players must actively utilize Electrograna obtained from Thunder Sakura Boughs to shield themselves from this menacing affliction.
