GENSHIN IMPACT - A Complete Game Guide (Know All About Genshin)

 Hello, all ~ Nayaverse's First Post ;) ✨

GENSHIN IMPACT

Elemental Chronicles ~ From Anemo to Hydro, Every Element Has a Story.

Genshin Impact: Welcome to Teyvat, Traveler!

Imagine this: You and your twin are casually hopping through different worlds when a mysterious god decides to ruin your day. Bam! Your sibling got Kidnapped and you? Stranded in Teyvat, a land ruled by seven powerful Archons, each with their own region inspired by real-world cultures.

But before you get lost in all the beauty, remember you have a mission. Find your twin, unravel Teyvat’s secrets, and try not to get sidetracked by treasures.

WORLD - 1 (Inspired by Germany)

1. The Beginning, Arrival in Mondstadt - The city of freedom🏰

Element - Anemo (Wind), AR - 1

(Monstad)

Your journey in Genshin Impact begins when you and your twin sibling arrive in Teyvat. However, before you can explore, a mysterious Unknown God appears and attacks. She seals away your sibling and leaves you stranded alone in an unfamiliar world.

After waking up on the shores of Mondstadt, you meet Paimon, a floating companion who helps guide you through Teyvat.

(Paimon)

2. Entering Mondstadt & Meeting the Knights of Favonius 🏙️

As you travel, you encounter Amber, a Knight of Favonius, who introduces you to Mondstadt, the city of freedom ruled by the Anemo Archon, Barbatos (Venti).

However, Mondstadt is in trouble - Stormterror (Dvalin), a corrupted dragon, is attacking the city! The Knights of Favonius, led by Acting Grandmaster Jean, are trying to stop the dragon and maintain peace.

(Amber & Jean)

3. The Truth Behind Stormterror (Dvalin) 🐉

You learn that Stormterror was once one of Mondstadt’s protectors, but he has been corrupted by Abyssal energy.

    (Stromterror)

4. Meeting Venti & The Plan to Save Dvalin 🎭

You meet Venti, a mysterious bard, who seems to know a lot about Dvalin. Venti is actually the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, the god who watches over Mondstadt!

He explains that Dvalin is not evil but is in pain due to corruption and needs to be saved. To purify Dvalin, you need to gather the Holy Lyre der Himmel, a divine harp that can soothe Dvalin’s rage.

(Venti, the Bard)

(Holy Lyre der Himmel)

5. The Fatui’s Interference⚔️

The Fatui, a powerful faction from Snezhnaya, is also involved. La Signora, one of the Fatui Harbingers, is manipulating Mondstadt’s chaos for her own plans. You steal back the Holy Lyre from the Fatui, though it gets damaged in the process.

(La Signora)

(Fatui Harbingers)

6. The Final Battle Against Stormterror🐉 

With the repaired Holy Lyre, you, Venti, Diluc, and Jean enter the corrupted Stormterror’s Lair. You calm Dvalin with the Lyre and fight him to remove his corruption. In the end, Dvalin is freed from the Abyss Order’s control and returns to protect Mondstadt again.

(Diluc)

Key Takeaways from Mondstadt’s Story:

✅ Dvalin was never evil - he was just corrupted.

✅ Venti is actually the Anemo Archon, Barbatos!

✅ The Fatui are stealing Archon powers - but why?

✅ Your twin is still missing, and the Abyss Order seems connected to them.

WORLD - 2 (Inspired by China)

1. Arrival in Liyue - The Geo Archon’s Mystery 🏯

Element - Geo (Earth), AR - 23

(Liyue)

After saving Mondstadt from Stormterror’s corruption, your next stop is Liyue, the nation of contracts and commerce, a massive trading city protected by the Geo Archon, Rex Lapis (Morax).

Every year, Liyue holds the Rite of Descension, where Morax gives guidance to his people. But during the ceremony, Rex Lapis is suddenly assassinated! His body disappears, leaving only his Gnosis behind.

The Qixing (Liyue’s rulers, including Ningguang) immediately suspect you, the outsider, of being involved in the Archon’s murder.

 (Morax)

    (Ningguang)

                                                                                                                  

2. Meeting Zhongli – The Mysterious Consultant 💰 

You meet Zhongli, an elegant but broke consultant working for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. He seems strangely calm about Rex Lapis’ death, as if he expected it to happen. He helps you collect special items needed for the funeral of Rex Lapis.

3. The Fatui’s Scheme & The Battle at Jade Chamber 🎭

Meanwhile, the Fatui are trying to seize control of Liyue after Morax’s "death." Childe, one of the Fatui Harbingers, tricks you into activating the ancient god Osial, an ocean monster sealed by Morax centuries ago. The monster attacks Liyue, forcing Ningguang and the Qixing to destroy the Jade Chamber, a floating palace, to seal Osial again.

    

    (Childe)                                                                           (Osial)

4. The Truth: Rex Lapis Death was a Test! 🟡

After Osial is defeated, you learn the truth - Rex Lapis never really died! Zhongli Is Rex Lapis! He faked his death because he wanted Liyue to become independent from divine rule. Instead of ruling, he chose to retire and let the people govern themselves. However, he willingly gave up his Gnosis to La Signora of the Fatui, just like Venti did in Mondstadt.

Key Takeaways from Liyue’s Story:

✅ Zhongli is actually the Geo Archon, Morax.
✅ He faked his death to let Liyue’s people rule themselves.
✅ He willingly gave his Gnosis to the Fatui—but why?
✅ The Fatui’s plans are bigger than we thought.

WORLD - 3 (Inspired by Japan)

 

1. Arrival in Inazuma - The Nation of Eternity ⚡

Element - Electro (Lightning), AR - 30

(Inazuma)

Inazuma is completely locked down under Sakoku Decree, meaning no one can enter or leave freely.

Raiden Shogun (Ei) enforces the Vision Hunt Decree, confiscating Visions to achieve “Eternity.”

Many residents suffer, losing their dreams and ambitions after their Visions are taken. You join forces with Thoma (a Mondstadt expatriate) and meet the Resistance.

    (Raiden Shogun)                                                             (Thoma)

2. Joining the Resistance & First Battle Against Raiden Shogun ⚔️

You meet Kokomi, Gorou, and the Watatsumi Island Resistance, who are fighting against the Shogunate forces. Kujou Sara, a loyal general to the Shogun, leads battles against the Resistance.

You eventually confront Raiden Shogun at Tenshukaku (her palace). You battle her but lose instantly because of her overwhelming power. She almost erases you, but Kazuha’s dead friend’s Vision resonates, saving you.

(Kazuha)  (Kokomi) (Gorou)

(Kujou sara)

3. The Truth About Raiden Shogun & The Puppet 🎭

You learn that the real Raiden Ei (Electro Archon) is actually meditating inside her consciousness. The one enforcing the Vision Hunt Decree is not her, but a puppet she created! Hundreds of years ago, Ei lost her loved ones and feared losing everything to time, so she sought eternity through an unchanging, perfect world.

4. The Fatui’s Manipulation & The Final Confrontation 🔥

The Fatui Harbinger Scaramouche is secretly working in Inazuma and steals the Electro Gnosis from Ei. La Signora, another Fatui Harbinger, tries to use the chaos to her advantage but gets defeated by you in a duel. After losing, Raiden Shogun executes La Signora on the spot, showing no mercy.

You challenge Raiden Ei again, but this time, you enter her consciousness and show her the truth about her rule. She realizes her mistakes and ends the Vision Hunt Decree.

(Scaramouche)

5. The Aftermath & The Fate of the Electro Gnosis 🌀

Though Inazuma is now free, the Electro Gnosis is already lost to the Fatui. Ei destroys her puppet and takes full control of Inazuma again.

 Key Takeaways from Inazuma’s Storyline:

✅ Raiden Shogun (Puppet) was enforcing the Vision Hunt Decree, not the real Ei.
✅ Raiden Ei was meditating in the Plane of Euthymia, detached from the world.
✅ Scaramouche stole the Electro Gnosis for the Fatui.
✅ La Signora was defeated by the Traveler and executed by Raiden.
✅ Ei finally realizes eternity should evolve, not stagnate.

WORLD - 4 (Inspired by South Asia and Middle East)

 1. Arrival in Sumeru – The Nation of Wisdom 🌿 

Element - Dendro (Nature), AR - 35

  

After liberating Inazuma, your journey takes you to Sumeru. Sumeru is ruled by the Akademiya, an elite group of scholars who claim to act in the absence of the previous Dendro Archon, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. The people of Sumeru don’t dream, as the Akademiya has secretly blocked their ability to do so.

You learn that Lesser Lord Kusanali (Nahida) exists but is locked away, with no real power over Sumeru. You meet Alhaitham, Cyno, Dehya, and Nilou, who help you uncover the truth.

        

                 (Nahida)

(Lord Rukkhadevata)

                                           (Alhaitham) 

   (Cyno)

                                  (Nilou)

(Dehya)

2.The Truth About the Sabzeruz Festival & Mind Control 💤

You enter Sumeru City’s Sabzeruz Festival, but you keep experiencing déjà vu, reliving the same day over and over. With Nahida’s help, you discover that the Akademiya is manipulating people’s minds, trapping them in an endless illusion to control their thoughts.

The Grand Sage of the Akademiya believes he is smarter than the gods and wants to replace Nahida with a mechanical "God of Wisdom."

3. The Fatui’s Plan: Creating a False God (Scaramouche’s Ascension) 🤖

The Fatui Harbinger Scaramouche (The Balladeer) allies with the Akademiya to become a new god. He is fused with an artificial divine heart, turning into Shouki no Kami, the God of Eternity. As a massive mecha-like being, he seeks to destroy Nahida and rule Sumeru.

You, Nahida, and your allies fight against Scaramouche in an intense battle.

Nahida defeats him and removes his power, making him mortal again.

4. Nahida’s Revelation & The Fate of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata 🌳

Nahida connects to Irminsul (Teyvat’s memory tree) and learns a shocking truth: The past Dendro Archon, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and Nahida are the same being—split into two. Rukkhadevata sacrificed herself to cleanse the world of forbidden knowledge but was erased from history.

Nahida makes a heartbreaking choice: She erases all memory of Rukkhadevata from the world, ensuring Sumeru moves forward.  

                           

                                          (Irminsul - Teyvat's memory tree)

5. The Fatui’s True Goal & The Gnosis Trade 🃏

Despite losing, the Fatui still get what they want: Nahida gives her Dendro Gnosis to the mysterious "Doctor" (Il Dottore) in exchange for information.

You learn that the Tsaritsa (Cryo Archon) is collecting all the Gnosis from the gods. Scaramouche disappears, later taking on a new identity: Wanderer. Sumeru is now free from Akademiya corruption, and Nahida finally rules as the rightful Archon.

               (Il Dottore)                                                  (Tsaritsa)

Key Takeaways from Sumeru’s Storyline:

✅ The Akademiya controlled Sumeru and erased the people's ability to dream.
✅ Nahida was locked away while the sages tried to replace her.
✅ Scaramouche was turned into a mechanical god but was defeated.
✅ Rukkhadevata sacrificed herself, and Nahida erased her memory from existence.
✅ The Fatui still won, stealing the Dendro Gnosis for the Tsaritsa.

WORLD - 5 (Inspired by France)

1. Arrival in Fontaine – The Nation of Justice 🌊 

Element - Hydro (Water), AR - 40

Fontaine, the Hydro Nation, is known for its advanced technology, elegant aesthetics, and devotion to justice. Justice is entertainment, and people believe Fontaine’s system is flawless and incorruptible.

 

However, you quickly realize that not everything is as fair as it seems. The Oratrice Mecanique d’Analyse Cardinale (OMAC) is a mysterious AI-like machine that determines "absolute guilt" during trials.

2. Lyney & Lynette’s Trial – Corruption in Fontaine’s Courts 🏛️

A high-profile magician, Lyney, is falsely accused of murder. The Oratrice declares him guilty, despite conflicting evidence. You step in as his defender, exposing flaws in Fontaine’s judicial system.

(Lyney)

3. The Looming Prophecy – Fontaine Will Be Destroyed! 🌊

A long-forgotten prophecy predicts that Fontaine will sink into the ocean. You discover strange water anomalies and Fontaine citizens suffering from “Fontaine Syndrome,” a mysterious condition linked to water exposure. The Archon Furina hides the truth, but it becomes clear that Fontaine’s downfall is inevitable.

4. The Fatui & Arlecchino’s Secret Plan 🃏

The Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino is operating in Fontaine, secretly pulling the strings. She is using Fontaine’s chaos to manipulate its people and further the Fatui’s goals. Meanwhile, the Hydro Gnosis is at risk, and the truth behind Furina’s rule is revealed.

                                                    (Arlecchino)

5. The True Hydro Archon & Fontaine’s Fate 🌊

The truth about Furina’s identity and the real ruler of Fontaine is revealed. Fontaine’s justice system faces its ultimate test as the Oratrice’s control is questioned. You must make a choice that will determine the fate of the entire nation.

(Furina)

 Key Takeaways from Fontaine’s Storyline:

✅ Fontaine’s justice system is flawed, and the Oratrice may be compromised.
✅ Furina’s true identity and the real Hydro Archon are a shocking revelation.
✅ The prophecy of Fontaine’s destruction is real and happening.
✅ Arlecchino and the Fatui are once again interfering.
