If you’ve been adventuring through Genshin Impact and are eager to visit the electrifying region of Inazuma, you’ll need to meet specific criteria to unlock this area. Inazuma, inspired by Japanese culture, is known for its scenic islands, powerful Electro Archon, and rich storylines. Here’s a complete guide to help you access and explore this thrilling new region.
Requirements to Unlock Inazuma
The first step to accessing Inazuma is ensuring your Adventure Rank is high enough. You need to reach Adventure Rank 30 before attempting to enter the region. If you’re not there yet, don’t worry! Continue completing daily commissions, world quests, and story quests to boost your Adventure Rank. Along the way, make sure to open chests and defeat enemies to gain valuable experience.
Once you’ve reached the required rank, you must complete the Archon Quest “Chapter II: Act I – The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia.” This quest will serve as your passage to Inazuma and is triggered after you finish the earlier quest called Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves
Starting the Inazuma Questline
After meeting the prerequisites, the Inazuma journey begins at Liyue Harbor. Here, you’ll speak to Katheryne, the Adventurer’s Guild receptionist, to initiate the quest Setting Sail. Katheryne will direct you to Beidou’s Crux Fleet, which will ferry you across the sea to the Ritou Port in Inazuma
While getting to Inazuma is straightforward, your arrival at Ritou comes with challenges. You’ll need to acquire a travel permit to explore Inazuma freely. Thoma, a helpful NPC, will assist you in lowering the high registration fee, allowing you to proceed with your journey
Exploring Inazuma
Once in Inazuma, you’ll find yourself surrounded by lush landscapes, Japanese-inspired architecture, and intense storms caused by Baal, the Electro Archon. Inazuma consists of six main islands, but initially, you’ll have access to just three—Narukami Island, Kannazuka, and Yashiori Island
The storyline here is tied closely to the Vision Hunt Decree, a campaign led by Baal to confiscate Visions (special abilities) from those who possess them. You’ll face tough enemies and be introduced to new mechanics as you explore the islands. Inazuma also offers various side quests that will immerse you in the local culture and help you unlock additional features
Important Characters and Quests
While exploring Inazuma, you’ll meet several key characters like Kazuha, who helps you start the journey, and Thoma, who eases your way into Inazuma by negotiating fees and helping with other logistical hurdles. These characters are integral to the questline and will guide you through important tasks
Once you’ve settled into the region, complete the quest Chisato’s Letter to obtain the necessary travel permit. With this permit in hand, you’ll be free to travel across Inazuma, interacting with its NPCs, tackling challenges, and discovering the secrets scattered across the islands
Tips for Reaching Adventure Rank 30
If you’re not yet at Adventure Rank 30, the process of leveling up can seem slow, but there are efficient ways to gain XP:
- Complete Daily Commissions: These are simple, recurring tasks that offer a good amount of Adventure EXP.
- Clear World Quests: Explore regions outside of Inazuma to complete quests that provide significant XP boosts.
- Open Chests and Solve Puzzles: All across Teyvat, you’ll find treasure chests hidden in nooks and crannies. Opening them adds to your Adventure Rank.
- Fight Bosses: Defeating high-level enemies and world bosses also provides plenty of experience
Unlocking Inazuma in Genshin Impact is an exciting milestone that adds a fresh layer of challenges and stories to the game. While the journey to get there requires some preparation, the stunning visuals, deep lore, and powerful new enemies make it well worth the effort. By reaching Adventure Rank 30, completing the Archon Quest, and boarding Beidou’s ship, you’ll be on your way to experiencing everything Inazuma has to offer.
Once you’ve arrived, don’t rush through the story. Take time to explore each island and complete side quests. The combination of intense battles, rich narratives, and the mystical atmosphere of the Electro Archon’s domain ensures that Inazuma will keep you engaged for hours.
