God of War Ragnarök

Favor the World: Side Quests and Exploration in God of War Ragnarök

Teyvat is a world brimming with activities beyond the main story; Genshin Impact’s vast open world of Teyvat is not just a backdrop for combat; it’s a character in itself, brimming with secrets, breathtaking vistas, and ingenious puzzles. Engaging in exploration and solving these environmental riddles is a core part of the gameplay loop, rewarding you with valuable resources, Primogems, and a deeper appreciation for the world’s lore.

Unlocking Secrets: The Joys of Exploration

Adventure awaits around every corner.

• Teleport Waypoints & Statues of The Seven: As you explore, activate these to unlock fast travel points and reveal sections of your map. Statues of The Seven also heal your party and allow the Traveler to resonate with new elements.
• Chests: Scattered throughout Teyvat are various chests (Common, Exquisite, Precious, Luxurious) containing Primogems, Mora, Artifacts, and Weapon Enhancement Materials. Solving puzzles or defeating enemies often reveals them.
• Oculi Collection: Each major region (Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine) has unique “Oculi” (e.g., Anemoculi, Geoculi) floating in the world. Collecting and offering them to Statues of The Seven rewards you with Stamina upgrades and other benefits.
• Environmental Puzzles: These are diverse and require elemental interactions. You might need to:
  • Melt ice with Pyro.
  • Activate elemental totems in a specific order.
  • Guide Seelies (glowing spirits) to their courts.
  • Use Anemo to clear elemental barriers or activate wind currents.
  • Solve intricate mechanisms involving pressure plates, elemental constructs, or timed challenges.
• Challenges & Time Trials: Discover various timed combat or exploration challenges that offer rewards upon completion.
• Hidden Areas & Domains: Exploration often leads to discovering hidden caves, secret passages, or unlockable Domains (dungeons) that provide valuable resources.

Embrace your inner explorer! Every corner of Teyvat holds a secret, and solving its puzzles is immensely rewarding in Genshin Impact.
