I made thiss account at the start of natlan maybe earlier i just got sidetracked
QueenMellyBelli2026-01-29 07:28
Oooh
Salter_KingofBorgors2026-01-29 08:21
How do you unlock the buff at Inazuma?
axomone2026-01-29 08:22
I used to quick start to nod cry
Salter_KingofBorgors2026-01-29 08:24
Oh I didn't know you could quick start Nod-Krai
distinct_oversight2026-01-29 08:52
you can and if you complete the latest archon quest, you get additional 400 primogems
starmadeshadows2026-01-29 09:07
Oh fuck you can do that??? Thank god
alfahadsheikh2026-01-29 07:53

Good thing the Prophecy and the War in Nathan are waiting for the Traveler.
Sipping_away2026-01-29 13:47
I'm officially calling it Nathan now
Sharlizarda2026-01-29 14:32
I have read it as Nathan ever since it released- I didn't notice the earlier comment had done anything wrong
IUltimateDudeI2026-01-29 17:48
What, you never heard of Nathan? He’s one of the most prominent characters in Genshin lore. Typical lore skipper /s
MallowMiaou2026-01-29 07:59
Quick start probably
Cocoatrice2026-01-29 08:08
You don't need to finish Natlan to start Nod-Krai.
Sir_Full2026-01-29 08:25
You don't need to finish natlan to unlock nod krai
jhonnythejoker2026-01-29 09:10
Yeah Nathan needs a Hot girl to finish
Challenger-gaming2026-01-29 10:45
What did Nathan do and why are we finishing him
UsentTrash2026-01-29 10:47
Now, why are we finishing Nathan?
BellalovesEevee2026-01-29 14:03
What did Nathan do that requires us to finish him? 😭
Commercial_Life51452026-01-29 14:17
Finish him off! Gosythoth's real name is NATHAN!!
Meombre2026-01-29 15:54
I think it's thanks to the thing that lets you start quests when it comes out
axomone2026-01-29 07:27
I don’t even know anymore
clouddog-1112026-01-29 07:29
don't worry, I still don't have electro, hydro and dendro unlocked
LyPyro2026-01-29 07:30
I never realized until we got the buffs that I had never resonated with Dendro or Hydro.
master089652026-01-29 08:25
Hydro is justified
DR4G0NH3ART2026-01-29 08:37
~~Technically no, you can't explore underwater fontaine without resonating hydro.~~ Shit kit, bubble gun does more dmg ~~, but you gotta do what you gotta do for those primos and lore quests.~~
Edit: People pointed out that interacting eith statue is enough to get the blessing. My bad, I didn't realize that resonating traveller was not needed for the blessing.
erukami2026-01-29 08:55
Er... You're severely misinformed. Haven't resonated Hydro and completed about 95% of Fontaine (too lazy for the last 5%). Resonating does not allow you to go underwater, it's just something you can do. Skirk's quest was the first time I used the Hydro kit and it's funny that it is the preferred kit for Nod Krai and I don't have it.
UmbraNightDragon2026-01-29 08:57
You can; the cutscene that unlocks the Transoceanic Sourcewater blessing is the one that plays when you first interact with any statue in Fontaine. Doing so doesn't automatically resonate the Traveler with Hydro, for which you instead need to follow the typical procedure of swapping them into the party and fielding them while you interact with the statue.
Sharlizarda2026-01-29 14:35
Can you go to Fontaine via coop and drown by not having interacted with a statue first?
mavvv2026-01-29 15:10
Transoceanic unlocks the diving button.
Sharlizarda2026-01-29 17:56
So without that you are stuck at the surface? That would be a good way to troll a new player
Moedwed2026-01-29 08:59
Uh, you can very much explore it without the resonance. My fontaine exploration is ~98% for all areas
Source: me resonating with hydro after 2 years of not giving a shit about it just for the stat increase for traveller
staydawg_002026-01-29 09:06
Don’t you just have to unlock the statue, with or without resonating?
DR4G0NH3ART2026-01-29 09:18
Oh, that I didn't test, but without going to statue and getting blessing you can't. Cant remember if blessing is tied to unlocking or resonating. Someone with a new account can confirm.
KuraiBaka2026-01-29 16:22
Unles your favourite anime is Railgun.
AverageA2Enjoyer2026-01-29 11:07
So do you just have hydro during nod krai quest or?
ImaginationNo80082026-01-29 07:31
Wait what is this screen?
4GRJ2026-01-29 07:36
Archon Quest stuff
alfahadsheikh2026-01-29 07:54
~~you get a buff for a random element i think, or at least just for the mc, it happens near the end of Luna Act VIII~~
Reayn1112026-01-29 08:00
Not random every element get buffed
alfahadsheikh2026-01-29 08:37
Really? mb then, I wasn't aware
Hojuma2026-01-29 09:22
For clarification, you get a buff for every element you have unlocked and it applies to any element Traveler you use.
NekoRevengance2026-01-29 07:56
Moon powers.
S_Guderian2026-01-29 13:31
Finish Nod Krai act 8
RubApprehensive25122026-01-29 07:32
Im more worried about the fact thst geo isnt unlocked.
axomone2026-01-29 07:48
i mean I still am in mondstat I just got bored and went to inazuma using an ice bridge
zatenael2026-01-29 08:04
I thought you weren't supposed to be able to do that??
did the shogun not strike you down with lightning???
axomone2026-01-29 08:05
I dodged
SecretAgentDragon2026-01-29 08:09
Literally no shot unless they changed it there’s supposed to be a respawn barrier around Inazuma until the mega storm clears so even if you never get hit by lighting you can’t make it
axomone2026-01-29 08:10
nah just joking I just finished liyue
Vantre72702026-01-29 08:25
Pathological liar ahh

Cool-Feedback92992026-01-29 10:14
Then how do you have no geo power?
bluedituser2026-01-29 10:36
You can complete the Liyue Archon Quest without resonating at the Statue.
Cool-Feedback92992026-01-29 10:39
Why would you do that
UsentTrash2026-01-29 10:45
Some people forgor
lucklesspedestrian2026-01-29 10:46
because you can
bluedituser2026-01-29 10:56
I guess OP is not like us early players who had very little starting content so we just did anything and everything.
Sounds like OP started late and had a mountain of shit to do so just bumrushed to the next area to unlock regions where he can farm materials for the shiny new character he pulled.
CarrotoCakey2026-01-29 13:04
I’ll be real i never use traveler so sometimes I forget to resonate as well. Infact I think I never even unlocked hydro traveler.
dualdee2026-01-29 11:56
Technically the only elements the story *makes* you get are Anemo and Pyro (I assume they used quickstart on Nod-Krai since they're missing the latter), despite how much they love making you go Hydro in story fights lately.
PaprikaCC2026-01-29 09:08
Was that added in post Sumeru? There are videos of people reaching Inazuma at AR 7 using the underwater trick.
Iffem2026-01-29 09:30
that's a glitch, not an intended mechanic like icebridging
SecretAgentDragon2026-01-29 18:46
No????? The storm barrier’s been there since Inazuma released
kazuyaminegishi2026-01-29 19:38
They're referring to a glitch you could (maybe still can?) do where you would disconnect from the internet when you enter the storm's range which causes the storm to not trigger and you can walk into Inazuma.
Thats how people used to bypass that limitation.
Luneward2026-01-29 13:44
Yeah, the only way to get over there pre-quest (still) is still run on the bottom and constantly go into character trials to unload the respawn barrier for a few seconds.
WanderingCollapse2026-01-29 13:44
There is a way to avoid being killed by glitching below the map and opening trial stages in quick succession to avoid the lightning strikes. But the journey to Inazuma takes like an hour like this (I would know).
rW0HgFyxoJhYka2026-01-29 09:50
Holy based its fucking John Genshin
miss_wannadie2026-01-29 10:17
Kaeya said "dodge that!" and you said "bet"
Historical-Cress5452026-01-29 11:11
I think you can even join the coop to resonate with a statue i dont know if it works like that but yea
Professional_War45472026-01-29 15:43
“I got bored so I spent thirty minutes bridging across the sea”
focushafnium2026-01-29 07:32
New challenge unlocked: Get traveler's new outfit without resonating with any element.
Fadriii2026-01-29 07:49
You're forced to get Anemo for the quest if I'm not mistaken
Physical-Command21302026-01-29 08:24
and pyro in natlan's AQ
Fadriii2026-01-29 08:39
OP somehow did it without Pyro though
Edit: apparently quickstart lets you skip Natlan
rorschach_blots2026-01-29 08:40
tbf that skip prerequisite quests does exist
Onetwodash2026-01-29 09:57
Quickstart lets you skip at the very least Sumeru, Fontaine and Natlan. I have a friend who refused to do Scaramouche quest in Sumeru for reasons.
I'd imagine Inazuma can be skipped too.
Next_Bat_99482026-01-29 08:34
Some one did a glitch not doing anything long ago
Fadriii2026-01-29 08:44
I think I know the vid you're talking about, you can run around grabbing chests and talking to NPCs but you can't reach Columbina's buff because the Anemo statue is part of the prologue quests
Dismal-Stand96872026-01-29 07:33
This made me realize I never resonated with electro, I am AR59
Skykeeper222026-01-29 07:38
So… you skipped the entire story to only play Nod Krai?
axomone2026-01-29 07:39
I mean its columbina so
Skykeeper222026-01-29 09:35
I respect your choice but for me thats like so weird. It’s like if you watch a TV show at season 1 and then suddenly be like “hm I’m gonna just go watch season 7”. How could you even understand whats going on?
axomone2026-01-29 09:36
The amount of mistafeet and doro44 i have watched I basically know the story but i am saving the game play for when i got nothing to do
axomone2026-01-29 07:40
Btw do you know hoe to go back to the moon?
JMP_172026-01-29 07:52
From what we know, there’s no way to go back. Seems like an archon quest exclusive location.
However, this week’s Selenic chronicles gives some insight that we may be able to go back to the moon at some point in a couple of weeks so there’s still hope.
LiamMorg2026-01-29 07:41
Not resonating with Geo is the biggest surprise here. They practically force it down your throat with how many pressure plate puzzles are in Liyue.
axomone2026-01-29 07:46
I swear i resonated with it i even used to do a trick i saw mistafeet do
Arcane_Animal1232026-01-29 08:44
Get Zhongli and then you don't nees Geo MC
starmadeshadows2026-01-29 09:10
And then they proceeded to never use Geo in the open world ever again
Joke's on them I've been abusing solar isotomas since 2.3
Trebord_2026-01-29 10:14
This just made me realize there hasn't been a single elemental monument in Nod-krai, and I'm pretty sure sure there weren't many in Natlan, either. Old puzzles are slowly becoming extinct.
IceAdam662026-01-29 11:07
They realized its a shit design to force you to switch characters and break the gamplay flow for random puzzles, thats why they made the needed arkhe for the puzzles available near in fontaine etc
Lewpo2026-01-29 11:34
Not sure about that when they throw nod krai shill enemies against you without even giving you an option without premium characters.
IceAdam662026-01-29 12:05
You can brute force them, thats what i did.
You cant brute force a pyro monument without a pyro character.
Luneward2026-01-29 13:48
The youtuber Moosashi would like a word with you.... Though technically you would need waypoints and anemo traveler instead to brute force that.
PH_0072026-01-29 14:59
I remember playing like this back in Inazuma/GAA and it was so fun to carry elements on you with Anemo characters like Kazuha and Aether.
Draw_the_Stars2026-01-29 12:00
I miss the old puzzles!
Luneward2026-01-29 13:47
Also keep in mind anything that would normally require a bow user usually has a khuuvaki mechanism somewhere nearby you can use instead.
They seem to be taking the idea of not needing to swap members of your overworld party out to complete puzzles to heart.
Pokefreaker-san2026-01-29 12:11
you still need it to climb to hard to reach places all over Inazuma. that one electroculus ontop of the shogun castle for example
starmadeshadows2026-01-29 12:31
STILL?? ah man inazuma is Rough
Luneward2026-01-29 13:50
The windcatcher laughs upon your shennanigans.
katoult2026-01-29 10:56
Amber works perfectly fine for most of the pressure plate puzzles. Needs Ningguang for the "double" ones.
Mtebalanazy2026-01-29 07:44
How did you not resonate with pyro? I thought you do that automatically after the natlan archon quest
axomone2026-01-29 07:45
I haven’t done that
JMP_172026-01-29 07:55
Then how did you start the Nod-krai quests?
axomone2026-01-29 08:01
the events skip
hoyoshill2026-01-29 08:48
You can skip natlan. I haven't completed my natlan act but have completed nodkrai acts.
common_juice272026-01-29 07:47
Maybe they quickstarted the new quests
rue1z2026-01-29 07:50
I didn’t even know you could choose not to resonate with the elements
UsentTrash2026-01-29 10:53
The only one the game makes you resonate with is Anemo (and Pyro during the Natlan AQ, but that's technically skippable). After that, it's your choice :3
Zogo122026-01-29 07:56
Gng skipped yrs of content 🥀
axomone2026-01-29 07:59
saving things to do
axomone2026-01-29 08:02
also I have realized my mistake I have just resonated with dendro Geo and hydro and I am currently finishing the natlan quest I never finished
axomone2026-01-29 08:04
y'all know when I can resonate with cryo (I mean when do we go to sneezenayan

axomone2026-01-29 08:08
have you ever been so sidetracked that you forgot nation you were last at I still don't know if I was at inazuma or at the start of sumeru
Confident_River_35832026-01-29 08:13
Yes...I’ve totally been there! Sometimes I get so caught up in side quests and exploring that I forget which nation I was even in… Inazuma? Sumeru? Who can tell anymore
axomone2026-01-29 08:14
the one with the dendro archon is liyue right? or was it fountain?
Cocoatrice2026-01-29 08:08
Okay, I understand people not havign Hydro. But Dendro and Pyro? On top of that GEO!? You need geo for majority of puzzles in Liyue.
axomone2026-01-29 08:09
didn't stop tho
Rafellz2026-01-29 08:09
I haven't resonated with hydro yet too. I just don't want it.

Happens to the best of us.
I don't even have resonated with cryo yet. I'm lazy okay.

I had the same with hydro traveller.

But not even Dendro? What?
AndyBlayaOverload2026-01-29 09:14
Wait what is this? My 1st time seeing this even. My traveler has all the elements except Pyro I know that but ive never seen this screen before. Does it unlock additional talents??

davidcz222333_hraje2026-01-29 09:42
This really is Surprising.. I thought everyone would've Resonate with each element but i guess it is also fair because who uses Traveler Regularly
KrypticDefendr2026-01-29 09:50
Made my account in 1.2 played every day up to now…never electro resonated my traveler… the achievement and name card still missing up to date.
All bc I thought I would be funnies, hydro mc was also for the funnies but for the other way around.
