➥ In the Version 4.0 Archon Quest, we will team up with Navia to investigate an important case. We will also meet Clorinde, a Champion Duelist with outstanding skills. She is not only someone that “Childe” Tartaglia desires to spar with, but also one who has a sort of complicated connection with Navia.
➥ As for Neuvillette, the solemn and just Iudex, Furina, the flamboyant Hydro Archon, that Dawei just mentioned, and a character who has already showed up, Charlotte, journalist from The Steambird who spares no effort in digging for the next big scoop; they will all be present in the Version 4.0 Archon Quest.

New Events

1. Mega Meka Melee (Flagship Event)

➥ In the “Mega Meka Melee” event, to showcase what a Champion Duelist is capable of, Travelers will help with three experiments so that the workshop staff can collect necessary information to make the toys.

➥ The first experiment is the parkour gameplay – Torrential Turbulent Charge. There are vast underwater areas in Fontaine. By passing through the Turbulent Rings, Travelers can charge forward underwater. To complete the challenge, Travelers will also need to dodge various obstacles along the way.

➥ The second experiment is combat gameplay — Efficacy Testing Simulation Arena. In this experiment, Travelers will need to fight against opponents in Fontaine’s wilderness among which there will be many Clockwork Meka exclusive to Fontaine.

➥ The third experiment is music gameplay — Dance Dance Resolution. Travelers will control the “Toy Adventurer” to follow the beat of the music and attack at the right moment to hit the toys lining both sides of the track to score points and claim rewards.

2. Relic Records: Creations of the Hydro Nation

➥ In this event, Travelers will need to collect different types of materials or defeat specific opponents, all of which are Fontainian local specialties or monsters.

3. Studies in Light and Shadow

➥ This event can also help Travelers quickly get acquainted with Fontaine, Travelers will have to follow the instructions to take photos of specific scenery or creatures in Fontaine.

4. Verdict of Blades

➥ In this event, apart from regular combat strategies, each challenge has its own Blade Mirage mechanism. Travelers can use the Blade Mirage mechanism to their advantage which makes challenges easier and defeat opponents effortlessly.

5. The Curtain Never Falls on Magic (Free Lynette)

➥ After the Version 4.0 update, when you reach Adventure Rank 25, you can visit the event page “The Curtain Never Falls on Magic” to claim the 4-star character Lynette, for free.
➥ Also, considering that some Travelers have just begun their journey in Teyvat, they will have difficulty in collecting materials needed for character development. So when you invite Lynette to your team from the event page, you will also obtain the materials needed to achieve Ascension Phase 1 for her to make character development easier.

New Adjustment

1. Multi-Layered Map

➥ When Travelers enter a multi-layered area, the mini-map will automatically switch to the multi-layered mode. When we return to the regular open-world map of Teyvat, the mini-map will return to its regular look.

➥ Also, upon selecting a location on a different map layer, the corresponding map layer will be displayed automatically. When Travelers open the Multi-Layered Map, the sub-icon of the Map Pins for the same layer will also be highlighted, which is a very convenient design.
➥ The Multi-Layered Map will be available not only for the new areas in Version 4.0, but also upgraded the multi-layered map for areas introduced in the previous versions (like Mausoleum of King Deshret or Araumi) to facilitate players’ exploration.

2. Party Setup Screen Update

➥ The Party Setup screen will have a more lively look, the developer have designed the entrance and exit animations for every character. Each character will have a special entrance animation upon joining the party.

➥ There will be different backgrounds in the Party Setup screen/ The background will change according to the locations where Travelers enter the Party Setup screen.

3. TCG Spectating System

➥ Travelers may enter the Friends interface or the Co-Op Mode interface to select their friend or Co-Op teammate who is in a TCG duel.
➥ If you are in the same world with the two dueling players, you will even gain the referee’s view to observe both sides of the game. If you don’t want observers watching your duels, you can adjust the relevant settings in the duel.

New System

1. Abilities from Fontemer Aberrants

➥ Instead of reproducing the existing combat design, the developer team designed a set of underwater combat rules that are independent, simple, and interactive.
➥ Players can absorb various abilities from specific Fontemer Aberrants to fight opponents and solve puzzles.

➥ For example, there is a type of Fontemer Aberrant called “Armored Crab.” Based on its biological features, the team designed a shield ability for it.
➥ After absorbing the ability, players can Hold the button to summon the shield to parry. Apart from that, the shield can also reflect trajectory attacks.

2. Ousia and Pneuma

➥ The Fontainian characters in the Teaser have Visions of different designs than those in other nations. This is because Fontainian characters have a unique attribute. It is called Arkhe, it consists of two opposing energies — Ousia and Pneuma.

➥ When Ousia-aligned energy meets Pneuma-aligned energy, an Annihilation reaction will be triggered which generates energy
➥ Fontainians utilize such properties to power the facilities in the city, including the Clockwork Meka seen on the streets.
➥ As for the Fontainian characters who own a Vision, based on their innate Arkhe types, they can trigger relevant damage effects in combat. However, since this is exclusive to Fontainian characters and areas, Arkhe system is not included in an intricate system like the Elemental System.

3. Underwater Diving

➥ One of the key features is underwater exploration. The developer team added a set of underwater animations for all Genshin Impact playable characters, and you can choose your favorite characters to explore the underwater world.
➥ To ensure a smooth underwater gameplay experience, the game didn’t include gameplay settings such as an oxygen bar for the underwater spaces in Fontaine

➥ Players, however, can Sprint underwater which consumes Aquatic Stamina, a type of Stamina exclusive to underwater movements.
➥ The developer has added a method of traversing greater distances underwater with the help of “currents.” With these “currents,” players will be able to quickly move toward their destination while also being able to freely adjust their position and perspective so as to admire the scenery along the way.

➥ About the ratio of underwater and above-water spaces in Fontaine, the ratio would probably go up and down every now and then. But it will stay around the expected 50-50 ratio.

New Map

1. Fontaine

➥ For Travelers who have explored Sumeru, simply follow the steps of our Archon Quest to reach the Romaritime Harbor with ease. Then head to Court of Fontaine, the most important city in Fontaine.
➥ For those who haven’t explored the desert region, for all Travelers who have completed Archon Quest Prologue: Act III “Song of the Dragon and Freedom,” a Teleport Waypoint in the Realm of Farakhkert that is near Fontaine will automatically unlock. Travelers may use this Teleport Waypoint to go to Fontaine’s outskirts easily.
