Same, the knowledge knowing there's no absolute presence there but you and your enemies deep down far from the surface scares me And also hearing some urban legends about people seeing a glitch of a ayato model just watching them from afar terrifies me, I know it's not real, but it scares me enough
for me its the opposite, i enjoy how deserted and dark enkanomiya and the chasm are. somehow knowing im all alone (besides some enemies who die immediately anyways) makes me feel like i am taking a nice break, far away from civilization and society
@@afellowhuman8944 True! Hopefully they would just integrate extension areas on the surface and not underground maps. At least by that we can still see the sky, although it is fake.
Actually, it's kinda make sense since enkonomiya is an ancient civilization, people moved on and left that place years ago. It's a history, an ancient ruins, being abandoned and forgotten, both by us, the players, and the characters or npcs in the game. We took the quest, we knew the lore and we shall enter that place no longer. In other words, hoyoverse DID it again
Canonically, yes, that's correct. However if that's really the case then they could've sealed the place off after a certain point (like with the 40 day alt-reality Enkanomiya event place).
@@timothytt547 They did that with the chasm's bed: a place so dangerous and canonically virtually impossible to escape that it has to be sealed to keep people from dying in it. Actually, considering a couple months after that quest: IH re-popularized the story of a man who literally died trapped in a cave.... it makes it even creepier. That place is doomed to being forgotten except by lore buffs who use it to prove certain theories about the entire game.
well. but not really. enkanomiya and its people were sealed off from the world because they knew something that heavenly powers deemed best kept a secret.
The cave in the village in Liyue near the oceanid can be a great candidate too. I remember all the anxiety we had when we destroyed all those ruin guards while protecting the Chi of Guyun* for the quest. The music gives me chills and it’s a very beautiful place too. Edit: *Chi of Yore. Yes I’m an idiot but in my defence I haven’t done the quest in forever and only did it on one account
i thought that it was the entirety of sumeru back then, only to realize its an underground mineshaft that kept being mentioned which i disregarded for my entire liyue playthrough lmao
Because it was released right before golden apple archipelago which will take most of the attention because it’s time limited, and then there’s sumeru that takes away all the attention completely
Tbh stormterror's lair can be added mostly bc you only go there to fight the weekly boss and it has a direct waypoint so most people don't even look outside of the tower to see the rest of the area
Ehh i do go there a lot nowdays since i grind leylines do bosses and and grind drop items and mostly am the type a guy that would just look at other side of the map out of bounds just to guess where the other regions would be located even search for lore about this game cuz i honestly don't know too much about it i do this a lot and gives me a reason to stay and play a lil longer instead of just spending my resin doing my commissions and log off lmao
Tsurumi island and Enkanomiya are two places that I still visit bc of that overwhelming feeling of loneliness and sadness. The track 16 in Enkanomiya brings a lot of melancholy and nostalgia. I really hope Mihoyo find a way to create some missions to make us revisit all those forgotten places in the near future
That's exact reason why I stay away from them xD no humans, no sign of life besides monsters... there's no sky in enkanomiya... yeah I'd take mond, liyue, and sumeru scenery over that. Liyue and sumeru especially have really heartwarming and nostalgic tracks
Chasm underground is like...the best farming spot for ore. Get a route going with a friend, jump in their game and do the same, and in less than an hour you have around 400 mystic ore. Chasm really made the weapon grind so much easier.
Yes Agree ! Best place for mining crystal ore. The chasm guaranteed respawn the crystal ores after 2 days. While in the open world, most of the time the crystal ore spots didnt respawn all the crystal for 3 days and even a week !
Just imagine when the game is finally completed... looking back to all these places. It has always bothered me that the game has so many places to go, yet the world feels kind of empty after you finish all the content there. It's a shame. Would be cool if dangerous dungeons spawned in random places if you wandered near them (random to each world even). One per world and you had to go find it after each update :)
The Problem is, since they want to let the game run for mobile Devices too, they hinder themself which is the reason they dont implement a lot of Things and the World feels rather empty.
I remember when dragonspine first released. It was my first patch update to experience when I first started playing. I remember it being so fun to explore during a cold winter night and how smaller the community was back then. Looking back at it is really nostalgic now. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that time
Kinda wish to forget everything and then playing again I remembered the first time i use amber It was really fun Now with childe it is just boring how i can take down enemy with 1 or 2 hits
I recently revisited the unnamed island and realised you can see even more ruins underwater. I really wished we could dive I wanna know more about that island
In Port Omos if you talk to the NPC’s on the dock one of them tells you about how Fontaine has a diving helmet tech to explore underwater. Hoping with the release of Fontaine we can actually swim under water and start exploring many of the underwater ruins in Teyvat.
@@irisamanda3922 We can't, it's confirmed by in-game files that in Fontaine there will be a special type of water, in which we can dive, unlike normal water. Diving zones only in Fontaine for now.
This is probably true for most of the community but for me, Enkanomiya is my MOST favourite place in the entire game. Even if there's nothing to do there after 100% exploration, I still visit there every 3-4 days to fish and take in the sights. It's such a beautiful place.
@@Bloomsberrybubble Voice lines and pre-rendered fmv’s are not the making up the bulk of Genshin’s size lmfao, they make up like less than 25%. High resolution textures are practically *always* the largest asset in a game.
Wth I love Dragonspine not ironically, is my favorite place, the tension you get when your sheer cold bar is going up with no stop and you need a campfire, the feeling of ''am I going to die here?'' is beautiful for me and I think Mihoyo managed to capture that feeling perfectly in the game, also, that with the search for Scarlet Quartz is very challenging (obviusly if you don't see a guide) and in the moment you get a new rank to the three is just, soo comforting I have no words to describe it.
I haven’t seen many people who like Dragonspine too, and yh I agree with you Dragonspine was the first area I got to a 100%, and I’ll never forget the pain of the quests
its definitely my favourite subarea, it just feels so nostalgic and it has some of the best bgm in the game, and i too like the sheer cold mechanic, everyone's always complaining about it but for me it just makes the whole "snowy mountain" so much more immersive and more dangerous
Enkanomiya was probably one of the best maps in the game. The first time you go there it's really stunning because it's very beautiful and the battle music is one of the best right now. The only problem with Enkanomiya is that only two characters benefit from the boss, Shenhe and Yae plus the fishes there aren't used in any exchange in the fishing shop. I hope they visit the place in future updates to deepen the lore of Enkanomiya. Chasm I think will be revisited because we haven't seen what happened to the girl (forgot her name) after she ventured deeper. I guess we will get another layer? Hopefully. Chasm was also a good map but the boss there just like Enkanomiya only benefits a few characters, plus the new enemies there were only used for some that I stopped farming for them after maxing Yelan.
Tsurumi island, i feel so sad whenever I go that island, hearing the music 100% makes me cry every time. It's such an emotional place and I give props to hoyoverse for being able to create such emotional places with so much lore and story that gives people these emotions when visiting an island or area. The Chasm, Enkanomiya, and Dragonspine were very well designed and absolutely beautiful however, it's does feel lonely being there.
When I set my commissions to Inazuma, I often got some of them in Tsurumi Island. I hope I'm not the only one who does this, I always let Ruu's theme finish before starting my commission or leaving the island. I love Ruu, so I could never not let the ost finish playing. I have never been so deeply in love with a song ever since Dragonspine's theme - Moonlike Smile, which is the one that sounds very gentle and soothing.
@@rymikai this is strange bc there are at least 4 different commissions that can pop up in Tsurumi Island. You’d think that by now you would get at least one
@@arcaneghost2459 yeah go figure, at some point i had just assumed it was a zone without commissions because how far it is lore wise and nobody would adventure there to even need help or whatever
I hope they find a way to bring these places back again, they're so incredibly beautiful and I think the artists' efforts should be celebrated not forgotten
Enkanoimiya music always brings me back to that place. It’s personally my favourite OST in this game and it’s so stunning with the scenery. The ambiance too being a forgotten lost place I love it too and the music matches that with the string quartet and that beautiful cello.
still can't forgive hyv that they didn't give ruu voicelines, yet they gave one to random bird statues during the second GAA event even though they'd disappear in a month
Chain Questline and limited Event Quests differ in hierarchy. As such, limited event quests need voice lines to make them memorable unlike permanent quests.
@@emptyallen3334 they are permanent in that you can do them at any time you like, but just like the event quest, once you do them you can’t redo them. So “permanent event don’t need voice line to make them more memorable” doesn’t make much sense.
@@WeiYinChan This is simply a faulty analogy fallacy. They are the same in a sense of a preemptive context, yet their core essence begs to differ. Before everything, let us define both terms. Limited Event Quests are quests in limited events. This examplifies that once the event ceases, it can no longer be accessed by the playerbase. It is limited in the truth of a time frame and not of its permanence. Permanent Quests are quests that aren't limited to a certain time frame, in simpler terms "permanent". They are accessible to the general playerbase and doesn't require a restrictive time period for it to be played. A quest fulfills its purpose if it has been completed. Replayability doesn't equate to its permanence. In all essence, both can be identified as quests yet the major difference is that one is in a limited time frame, while the latter is available in all times. Availability is the core factor in the assessment of both and not of its unified characteristic of being a quest. Limited Major Event Quests are given voice lines by the developers for the reason of it being limited. If the event quest is just a text wall after another without voice acting , the general opinion of the playerbase will be in the sense of it being annoying and forgettable. Think of it as the law of supply and demand. If the supply is surplus, the demand is quite low. On the other hand, if the supply is scarce, then consequently, its demand will be high. Limited Major Events are higher in the hierarchy of quests for this very reason. These are limited Event Quests, why shouldn't they add voice acting? In addition, it would make great use of the talents of the voice actors. If Ruu in the serai island chain Questline was voice acted and got more salary than the past voice actors, wouldn't it be quite unfair? This is precisely one of the many reasons why. Exposure for the past characters and increasing their relevance are quite important for a buisness model like Hoyoverse's in the long run.
You chose the most beautiful ost produced by yu-peng-chen. Enkanomiya is a masterpiece and a standard for any genre game to be very fair. You can't help but feel gloomy once you arrive and hear the place. That's how magnificent is the development of Enkanomiya. I pray that they give us regular occasions to visit the place.
Just because the game doesn't require you to return to any of these places doesn't make them worthless. You have so many memories of the events you did there, you were able to talk about the music, the views, and the emotions that they made you feel. They made an impact on your and stay in your heart!
bruh enkanomiya might be hard forgotten but the first time i entered that place from the snake statue hall, looking at the dainichi mikoshi in the distance gave me goosebumps safe to say that it was the only other time i was impressed by the scenery,visuals in genshin after the beginning of the game ( the desert,watasumi,seirai and chasm are breath taking as well but enka was the first to be beyond just teyvat it got me really excited)
The enka opening sight and that sight in the chasm just before we got to the upside down city,,,,, and also right at the end of the chasm exploration when we saw the chasm celestial nail,,,,,,,, THOSE. those were genuinely breathtaking.
@@imaginecheating9307 yeh and around other inazuma islands as well, that’s why I had it in parentheses since you can _also_ get mats in underground chasm too lol
I think Mondtsadt is sorta forgotten. Please hear me out! Everyone is so excited about Sumeru’s release and the next regions to be released. However, without Mondstadt, there would be no journey to Liyue, Inazuma, or even Sumeru. Mondstadt is the region we began with. Plenty of memories were made there. We’ve met some of our best friends, like Bennett, there. We’ve also fished Paimon out of a river/ocean. I have all of Teyvat unlocked (I can’t seem to get Enkomiya and Underground Mines) but, I still explore Mondstadt most. I even have my commissions set there. Take some time to visit the starting region and admire its beauty. Mondstadt is our home, and our beloved home.
for me, mondstadt is very warm and like a home (even if i don't visit often), but i barely look at places outside of dragonspine, springvale, and the city mainly because it's only open plains and mountains without a whole lot of ruins like in liyue and inazuma. also, (hoping i read it correctly) if you're having trouble unlocking enkanomiya, you'll have to do a watatsumi quest to get the area and (i think( for the underground part of the chasm you'll have to do an archon quest to unlock it
i think it's intentionally forgotten, there's a popular and pretty believable theory that we will be coming back to mond at the end of the game to end it's all where it's all began and all that epic stuff
They still haven’t released all of Mondstat. Hopefully when Mika becomes playable they will release Dornman’s Port, and the northern area of Mondstat. I definitely don’t think Mondstat’s role in the game is over. We still have to meet Varka as well.
As an ar57 that's why I like to visit lower ar players' worlds, usually around 20 - 35. because there's a high chance they haven't explored most of these regions and it gives me so much nostalgia for what it feels like exploring with so many chests still unopened and so many puzzles yet to be done. I remember a few weeks ago I joined someone who was exploring enkanomiya in a 4 co-op world, we pretty much played for hours and hours doing quests and solving puzzles.
Im AR 58, I remember not wanting to rush ANY of the missions and just explore at my own pace, since irl im usually really busy. To this day I havent found all of the liyue’s chests and I’m still looking for them. (My characters are stacked though :p)
I have Enkanomiya and Tsurumi at 100%, I willing explored those places whenever mood felt like it. I still visit back at Enkanomiya. Dragonspine is at 99%, only time i explored there was in December last year
Tbo I believe some stories need to be told only once. After getting 100% Enkanomiya exploration, my thoughts of this place was as one of the best ones I've ever visited in Genshin, and it will stay in my memories forever, even when the last remnants of forsaken civilization perish 🌸😌
As a person that loves taking pictures of the Genshin world, can’t say I have forgotten these places. I’ve been to every nook and cranny of Genshin for a good pic.
Even tho i havent been in enkanomiya for a long while, its still my absolute favorite region. The music, the scenery, the ruins, the lore, the atmosphere... i feel so calm when im there. Its a sad, lonely and eerie place, yet i find comfort in it. I hope hyv adds events or at least commisions there, altough i doubt it
I’m sure we will visit Enkanomiya again. There’s still the Vishap Shrine Maiden story that hasn’t been resolved. I wouldn’t be surprised if we meet her again in Enkanomiya and maybe they will expand the area.
Dragonspine is my favourite location. Its atmosphere, its music, its mood... Its something you cant describe. There's also one of my fav character living - Albedo. Very graceful. There was two the most epic lore events. I love this place and so bad I visit it so rarely nowadays, I remember days when I could just walk there. I remember how I got the Freeze's death achievement in the 1st day of exploring it :D I remember how it was released and when there's appeared the standard wishes for upgrading your chars' system. I remember when I got Amos from this wishes and how I was mad its not character, like Diluc or Qiqi. I remember how everyone hated Albedo because he was geo and geo was the one of the weakest elements, and honestly I was hating him too because I still was a newbie, I only had 35 AR but now he's my favourite (saying it as 59 AR player). I remember how everyone's was excited and and the same time crying from quests hardness from Dragonspine. This location brings so much good memories. Im so happy I was a part of community while Dragonspine wasnt released and witnessed its release. Sometimes I listen my favourite song from this location and just remembering how much time I was in there and how much I love this location. Very precious memories.
The secret island hit me soo hard that i shed a tears(btw i used Kaeya to get there) Back then life was so simple when we only had to worry about hilichurls and slimes. I miss my low AR days
Enkanomiya and The Chasm's underground map have my favorite OSTs in the game. Before Enkanomiya's release, Dragonspine's OST was my absolute favorite, but the consecutive releases of Enka + The Chasm blew me away because of their music. I didn't think these two could be topped, but I also fell in love with Sumeru's music the moment I set foot in it upon 3.0's release. Genshin's music just keeps getting better, and I find myself wandering in these old areas just to enjoy the music while I explore extra.
wow the monstadt bg music at the end plus the sound of pressing the elemental sight button brings back the memories of being the clueless lower AR player and the feeling of loving the game solely for the story and the scenery :
I feel you man, it was quite amazing back then exploring all those regions but ngl i am committed to revisit the places soon so that i can do some lore diggin ~ehe
Personally Enkanomiya was so fun to explore, the eerie feeling you get and the darkness make it more calm than some other places e.g. watatsumi island because of all the bright colours in your face. Same thing goes to the rest! They were my favourite to explore.
I especially avoids the underground Chasm for a few reasons. I have a lotta sad memories there and sometimes scary ones. I'm still sad about the Fatui troops that was left stranded underground not knowing that they've been abandoned and yet they still trust their God that this has to be a test from her. And another one is a female fatuus whom seems friendly and cheerful enough despite alrdy starving for days. Went too look for her after finishing her chains quests only to find that she might've been killed by a shadow warrior or died of starvation. I even marked the place where she is supposedly dead. Sad. Just sad.
Enkanomiya had IMO one of the best series of quests that contributed A LOT to the lore, I remember doing all the quests paying all the attention I could.
its kinda scary how this video showed up in my timeline cuz i literaly just take some pictures of enkanomiya while thinking "oh god... this place is so forgotten" also i went to the secret island and remembered how good was all the way to get into it and the challenges i had to pass to complete the quest... ... and then your video appeared. (great video btw, the community needs some videos like this one)
Enkanomiya is definitely one of my most favorite places. The music, place, story and everything is so interesting! I really need more quests of that place (and Enjou lol)
I still come back to both the Chasm and its Underground area because of the abundance of crystal ores and its closeness to one another. I just use Xiao > Sayu > Albedo > Zhongli for an easy walkthrough. I only play for minutes, and I always ran out of crystal chunks for enhancement ores, so if I have an extra time, I take it to digging some ores down in the Chasm.
I started playing like a month before dragon spine was released and I was there so much when it was, going back gives me so much nostalgia and happiness because I truly loved playing Genshin 24/7. Now it feels like I play to feel that happiness again.
Enkanomiya is by far my favorite place in Genshin. The eerie feeling of the cold light and sequestered scenery is what I came across as the closest representation of how all of my dreams look and feel like. Being in Enkanomiya is comforting to me, as weird as it sounds, since it's what I'm used to seeing in my dreams
I think not many people know this because how unpopular Tsurumi Island is .. But Fun fact about tsurumi island: the enemy groups changed based on day you visit
I was so confused when I was looking for a chest that contained a piece for my serenitea pot, only to release that the chest spawned on a specific day.
Oh wow thanks!! :0 Im at 65% atm and still going, but if I ever need help, now i know!! ^w^ I thought you need to wait next day for some chests, is this a mechanic at all on tsurumi, or what you said??
@@sumyguck8094 for that I think you need to do the ghost quest , it is hidden quest on Tsurumi Island that quest can be started after you done the Ruu main quest. search some video about it for detail
Ngl, for those early players of genshin, we just go back and forth to the only regions released AKA mondstadt and liyue. I wonder how we managed to stay playing despite the drought before Golden apple and Inazuma.
When i go to places in the past (like dragonspine) or places I remember when I started genshin, I always get that feeling, like I used to actually have fun in this game 2 years ago but now it’s just this grindy game that i’m about to finish. I started playing on my Ps4 on a NA account (my ps4 made me go to NA and you couldn’t change regions in Ps4) but eventually moved to a new account with a newly bought iPad gen 8 to Asia because i’m in Asia and i obviously wanted good ping for Spiral Abyss and stuff. I remember getting Qiqi on my 2nd standard wish and Xiao (first xiao banner) on my 8th event wish. A few banners after that I moved to PC. Everything just escalated from there, buying many genisis and welkins, losing 50/50’s, exploring everything to 100% all the way to Inazuma. I’m glad I got to play Genshin Impact. In a few days, i’m going to reach ar60 with this account of mine with 7k xp left. One day in the future when I see “Genshin Impact” I would be glad to say it was one of the best games i’ve ever played and had a lot of fun playing it.
I still come back to these places Enkanomiya- it actually looks cool for me (I'm a sucker for old infrastructure) Chasm- iron chucks and some chest Underground chasm- the drop rate of the crystals there 😩 Tsurumi island- those hounds and those mushrooms dragon spine- the scenery is amazing there And I do sometimes go there to farm 4 dragon tooth or som Crab island- it's in the name
I'm often afk or just listening the ost at Enkanomiya & Tsurumi Island when I'm in the mood to feel peace and terrifying at the same time. But when I'm in the mood for farming ores I always visiting Chasm undeground and some islands at Inazuma for the Amethysts (and of course randomly killing those specters and rifthounds too). 😬
For music lovers, did you know that the music of Dragonspine and the underground chasm mines are similar upon reaching the skyfrost nails at both places? Just minor differences in the pace, layout and texture of the track.
Chasm and Tsurumi are in my artefact rout. Rarely go anywhere in Mondstadt outside of the city though, unless it's just for the music. Artefact & crystal farming is the best way to revisit old places. Soon, will have a full artefact set for every character (just the starting 4 left to go). Then it will be time to raise the 4*s from 70 to 80, so plenty of old boss and talent runs to revisit :) After that, it's probably time to visit Natlan!
really? artifact farm in these places? they suck for artifacts. there's a hard limit of 150 artifacts a day (if you ONLY loot artifacts and nothing else), so you don't need all regions to reach that quota. best places for artifacts are kannazuka, seirai, the small island in between kannazuka and narukami island, the outer route for watatsumi, dragon spine (not a lot but they're quick to get and dense), some places in liyue like sal terrae and that treasure hoarder camp on the northern part of bishui plains, as well as that router west of the wangshu inn, and now the pyramid in sumeru's desert and the temple in front of it have a shitload of artifacts too, plus an underground route behind the pyramid
I used to farm that one certain location in Liyue filled with artifacts fodder every day but nowadays I rather go to Sumeru dessert ruin because they have decent amount.
Personally, Dragonspine seems to be my most forgotten one because I haven't been there for so long but I still visit the others on the list. Lore-wise, Enkanomiya seems to be the most forgotten because no living NPC ever lives there and it is deep beneath the ocean. I actually visit Tsurumi island from time to time just to feel its creepy vibes.
Am I the only one who loves Enkanomiya so much that I fight all the Ruin Machines in it every now and then for fun, just so I would have a reason to go there?
Love mondo, love liyue, love dragonspine, love enkanomiya, love chasm, love sumeru, but i decided ever since its release that inazuma will be my forever home in teyvat, while i agree that sumeru is the best region overall, inazuma just hit me differently (one of the most fun i've had in gaming was in inazuma). Thank you for taking us back in memory lane tho, its nice seeing places that i haven't visited for a long time 😊
i hate sumeru. to me it's by far the worst region. exploration is a chore. they threw away all the good design philosophies the other regions had for exploration. sumeru is too large. and i don't mean it has too much stuff, i mean everything in there is oversized for no reason. it results in pretty vistas that are incredibly bad to explore and feel super baren and sparse. not NEARLY as dense as other regions. it's like sumeru is made for gundams, not normal humans. not to mention the caves. oh, i can't put how much i hate them into words properly. and let's not forget that they gate exploration behind terribly long and boring quests. i hate everything about sumeru. can't wait to go to the next country and i hope they fix all of this crap in that one. also, because everything is so big and this game's draw distance is SO FREAKING BAD, you fly above a region looking for things to do and you might miss EVERYTHING because you're not close enough to be able to even see them. like, for real? who designed this region? liyue is actually peak exploration. traversal is awesome, and most of liyue is triple-layered (ground level, mid-mountain paths, peaks), while transitions between layers being possible at any time and all three being easily read from a map, and you can climb high and see the dense dotting of interactables throughout the terrain in all layers. it is just a delight to explore. dragonspine is a close second. mondstadt is a bit too basic, but nothing about it is offensively bad, so it's a good region. inazuma is okay, but most islands have one or other exploration unfriendliness about them, like cliffs with protrusions you can't climb. it's still decent. but it has the densest elite monster spawns, so it's the most fun region to coop in (i mean, after enkanomiya, that is the BEST region to do elite routes in, but it's like part of inazuma so yeah still counts for inazuma). lots of monsters to kill. sumeru just made everything inazuma does wrong a hundred times worse. and the monsters suck on top of it, lol.
Going back to Tsurumi Island just to listen to Ruu's theme is also very me. His theme really stuck to me and I still tear up every time I hear it. It's really sad when these areas were only amazing for a short time and they don't add any more stuff to do in there after you fully consumed every single thing. I wish they would add commissions there, too, or at least more world quests. But it's nice to go back to these places from time to time just to reminisce past experiences c: Also, my number 1 forgotten place... I would say Dragonspine as it's been quite a while since we last had updates for that area, but then I still go there to farm cryo artis and sometimes commissions. So definitely Enkanomiya. That place just feels even more empty once you're done with everything, but it certainly is a beautiful place.
Bold of you to assume that it's forgotten lmao.. as an endgame player with no endgame, i often hang out in these all mentioned places (except the secret island in mondstadt) for music. Tsurumi music.. dragonspine music.. Enkanomiya music... Chasm music literally brings me to homeland IRL.. The composer literally is a god..
Nice vid, I feel nostalgic. Actually, I barely visit any of the old places once completed. I set my commissions on the latest nation as this helps in getting 100% map exploration and reputation. There are still a handful of achievements I'm missing but it's annoying due to the rng nature of commissions.
i love winter and snow in general and i also started playing genshin when dragonspine first came out. i love it sm i still visit and i love their battle ost! brings back memories
Dragonspine is the least forgotten, with the yearly seasonal albedo event story quest. Tsurumi, the statue for the thunderbird, and the 2d artwork of kapactr look like fischl's Oz and the nightraven statues, indicating a link between fischl's unique vision and kapactr. Her final character story quest might well have us traveling with fischl and oz to tsurumi island.
Just recently been going to underground chasm to level up Kuki. Already got everything I need two weeks ago, but felt like exploring the place once more yesterday. Found lots of unlocked chest indicators lmao; I was probably saving them for later but ended up forgetting about it. Got enough primos for 2 pull just from the chests alone.
as much as i wish we had more stuff to do in these places (enka and dragonspine are my absolute favorite places in genshin, seriously), i kinda get why they become "forgotten" after we're done with them. most of these have one of two thing in common - the celestial "nail" and some kind of civilization being pretty much wiped out, presumably by celestia itself. so it makes sense to me that they get so empty - celestia WANTS people to forget about them, and that would include the player as for the secret island - the quest there hints at an archon that is to be mentioned yet in the main story, the archon of time. something tells me that we will go back to that island or something like that by the time khaenri'ah comes out
Nice choice of places. Music is also one big thing to me. There are very nice places int he game but because they are difficult to access, not that we forgot them, we just don't go there. A nice place early game was the floating island in Liyue and also a very high peak by Liyue city where there is a big white chest at the top. I did climb this the hard way yet I found later there is a clover mechanism that at least helps a bit to get there. On that peak there is a wind field that allow us to stay there and enjoy the view.
The unexpected discovery of Enkanomiya is indeed my favorite moment so far, and the music there is just godly. And I love Shenhe as a character, sadly I don't have her
The theme I am hearing from Ruu's Melody is actually Song of Innocence. I missed going there since the World Quest of the Thunderbird before saying goodbye to Ruu one final time.
I didn’t even know the secret island existed until ar45-55, I was looking for the last world quest in Mond and found the people talking about it online
Enkanomiya is such a great place to be.. with haunting music and so much lore going on in there! I hope we are not done yet.. I think we should have a 3rd Celestial Nail (like one in dragonspine (Mond) & Chasm (Liyue) in Inazuma and it could be in Enkanomiya?
I think the creepiest pre-3.0 location in Teyvat was definitely the unlocked secret room in the Nameless Ruins. Something about the desolate, ethereal soundtrack within the ruins, the disheveled appearance of the room behind the door, and that ominous letter is just strangely... terrifying. There are no monsters in this particular spot, but for some reason I never feel safe in that room... Ah, and I forgot to mention, I fully recreated the first theme from the Nameless Ruins (yes, I played the violin and piano parts for real!) a few months ago... here's the link! czcams.com/video/hrY0WlOeAmg/video.html
@Lu M Oh, there's plenty! First of all, unlocking the secret room requires that you defeat all nine Black Serpent Knights throughout the Chasm: Underground Mines. Each of them has a unique dialogue as you approach and as you defeat them. Some of these Black Serpents speak of the fall of Khaenri'ah, or at least what remains of their memories of it when they were still human. But others of their rank can be found wallowing in patches of dark mud, and are implied to be echoing memories that are not their own (that's to say, they may not be talking about the disaster in Khaenri'ah, but instead of the Unified Civilization's downfall millennia prior... this is due to the fact that the dark mud is a manifestation of Ley Line energy leaking out and revealing memories to anyone who comes into contact with it). There's also a bit more: the materials that the Black Serpents drop are depictions of a one-eyed king, who, based on the Norse inspirations of the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah and its people, seems to match the description of a certain Odin from Norse mythology. Very interesting stuff! When you defeat all nine of them and obtain the Orbs of the Blue Depths, you can unlock the secret room at the far end of the Nameless Ruins' inverted city to find this letter, the complete version of which can only be found by piecing the readable fragments from various Travelers (in other words, multiple game accounts): "Not as if I were to be outfitted as that guardian of Khaenri'ah Not as if my destructive self were made to be the lyre of Barbatos Not as if I were to soar like a Pegasus Not if I were the swift, snow-white pair of Morphes Add these to the feather-footed and the winged And likewise, call for the swiftness of the winds And though you should harness these, friend, and offer them to me Yet I should be tired to the bone And worn away by frequent faintness My friend, while I would search for you The heavens fall to pieces And falsehoods collapse" It's a Genshin transcription of a work written by a real-life Roman poet named Catullus, and I find it especially notable that Barbatos, of all names, would show up here! Venti's looking to be a whole lot more than he seems...
Wait, I've heard of Enkanomiya, but IDK where that is or how to get there- Someone please tell me if I can still get there I *love* the Chasm (Underground) and it's one of my favorite places in Genshin Impact, actually... I go in there for fun cause I love the atmosphere there Tsurumi island, hm? I haven't really done the quest to get rid of the mist there yet, and I might get to that some time soon My dislike and irritation with Dragonspine from lower ARs stayed with me TvT But I mean, it's still an interesting place and I enjoyed most of the World Quests there Oh yeah, the Secret Island... Eh, well, I don't really have much of a reason to go back there, so I get that it's forgettable for me Overall, exploring is my favorite thing to do in Genshin Impact, so I'm glad I had a lot of fun times with most of these places ^^ Also, that quote at 4:14 was by Kazuha TvT
There’s something interesting about secret island, if you die from the boss, when you get back to fight, there will be a storm around the island and you can see it from afar It’s so nice
I'm kinda scared of going to the Chasm Underground and Enkanomiya especially when I'm alone. The absence of surround light is terrifying
Same, the knowledge knowing there's no absolute presence there but you and your enemies deep down far from the surface scares me
And also hearing some urban legends about people seeing a glitch of a ayato model just watching them from afar terrifies me, I know it's not real, but it scares me enough
for me its the opposite, i enjoy how deserted and dark enkanomiya and the chasm are. somehow knowing im all alone (besides some enemies who die immediately anyways) makes me feel like i am taking a nice break, far away from civilization and society
@@afellowhuman8944 True! Hopefully they would just integrate extension areas on the surface and not underground maps. At least by that we can still see the sky, although it is fake.
@@jj11233x That's something deep going on there. Nevertheless, happy to know someone truly enjoyed and enjoys exploring there.
Weaklings
dragonspire's quest is the most challenging quest for all of us back in the day for sure
You arent wrong
It was because I started playing a week before it came out so my sis had to help
fuck that quest where we have to melt the ice in the mountain lmao
Thaw all the shards out
I'm ar54 and my dragonspine is still at 30% exploration lmao. Idc if I'm missing out on stuff but I'm not doing it 😆
Actually, it's kinda make sense since enkonomiya is an ancient civilization, people moved on and left that place years ago. It's a history, an ancient ruins, being abandoned and forgotten, both by us, the players, and the characters or npcs in the game. We took the quest, we knew the lore and we shall enter that place no longer. In other words, hoyoverse DID it again
Canonically, yes, that's correct. However if that's really the case then they could've sealed the place off after a certain point (like with the 40 day alt-reality Enkanomiya event place).
@@timothytt547 They did that with the chasm's bed: a place so dangerous and canonically virtually impossible to escape that it has to be sealed to keep people from dying in it. Actually, considering a couple months after that quest: IH re-popularized the story of a man who literally died trapped in a cave.... it makes it even creepier.
That place is doomed to being forgotten except by lore buffs who use it to prove certain theories about the entire game.
I love enkonomiya and its mysterious vibe. But when the fake sun is turned off it kinda triggers me, makes me dizzy and wanna throw up. idk why
well. but not really. enkanomiya and its people were sealed off from the world because they knew something that heavenly powers deemed best kept a secret.
@@UBvtuber how do i look ipon the area you mention? What the actual name
The cave in the village in Liyue near the oceanid can be a great candidate too. I remember all the anxiety we had when we destroyed all those ruin guards while protecting the Chi of Guyun* for the quest. The music gives me chills and it’s a very beautiful place too.
Edit: *Chi of Yore. Yes I’m an idiot but in my defence I haven’t done the quest in forever and only did it on one account
i havent completed that quest and im a day 1 player. I do love liyue favorite place to visit.
Also, is "Chi of Yore"
Omg yes, those were the days haha
nah, there still quite often rolls commissions
That quest was so annoying. I was lucky enough to finish it when the totem or whatever it’s called only had 2% left.
The Chasm was the most anticipated place since the game's released but it was forgotten only after 2 versions
its definitely not as memorable as enka or dragonspine imo, it was cool but the scenery isnt as good imo
i thought that it was the entirety of sumeru back then, only to realize its an underground mineshaft that kept being mentioned which i disregarded for my entire liyue playthrough lmao
Because it was released right before golden apple archipelago which will take most of the attention because it’s time limited, and then there’s sumeru that takes away all the attention completely
@@rubenlara4029 Idk, I personally found it the best and most memorable subarea, with all the different environments and quests.
still go there for ores and there are many more people who do so i would say from this list its the one that isnt forgotten
Tbh stormterror's lair can be added mostly bc you only go there to fight the weekly boss and it has a direct waypoint so most people don't even look outside of the tower to see the rest of the area
I go there a lot for the mora leylines
I actually go there a lot just to vibe to the music
Ehh i do go there a lot nowdays since i grind leylines do bosses and and grind drop items and mostly am the type a guy that would just look at other side of the map out of bounds just to guess where the other regions would be located even search for lore about this game cuz i honestly don't know too much about it i do this a lot and gives me a reason to stay and play a lil longer instead of just spending my resin doing my commissions and log off lmao
I go there to grind samachurls
often mondstadt leylines are the fastest to farm and some of them are located in Stormterror's lair.
That Secret Island boss is still hands down one of the best fights in the game. Chasing the boss literally across the ocean was something else.
WHAT BOSS! TELL ME!
@@cloberlobster2276 the eye of the storm boss
I wasn't able to find the boss after it fled the island
Tsurumi island and Enkanomiya are two places that I still visit bc of that overwhelming feeling of loneliness and sadness. The track 16 in Enkanomiya brings a lot of melancholy and nostalgia. I really hope Mihoyo find a way to create some missions to make us revisit all those forgotten places in the near future
Enkanomiya event was great, I hope they'll release more re-exploration events in locations like these.
i was so sad during ruu s quest i never came back because i didnt wanna see him dea
@@sanyanders fingers crossed, bro
@@junobrodin4243 Rudy's story is really really sad. That is why we will remember it for a long time
That's exact reason why I stay away from them xD no humans, no sign of life besides monsters... there's no sky in enkanomiya... yeah I'd take mond, liyue, and sumeru scenery over that. Liyue and sumeru especially have really heartwarming and nostalgic tracks
Chasm underground is like...the best farming spot for ore. Get a route going with a friend, jump in their game and do the same, and in less than an hour you have around 400 mystic ore. Chasm really made the weapon grind so much easier.
If you don't mind could you send us a link to the route? mining using routes from pre-Chasm has been exhausting me
@@adamiqmal9627 Guides are all over CZcams my man..
Me : laugh in more than 4500 weapon blue xp materials
Yes Agree ! Best place for mining crystal ore.
The chasm guaranteed respawn the crystal ores after 2 days.
While in the open world, most of the time the crystal ore spots didnt respawn all the crystal for 3 days and even a week !
@@adamiqmal9627 never thought to do one myself, but yeah there's a ton of guides out there that will have you loaded in record time.
Just imagine when the game is finally completed... looking back to all these places.
It has always bothered me that the game has so many places to go, yet the world feels kind of empty after you finish all the content there. It's a shame.
Would be cool if dangerous dungeons spawned in random places if you wandered near them (random to each world even). One per world and you had to go find it after each update :)
Isn't that every other open world games in general tho?
@@lechungus1832 no RDR2 & BOTW there’s always new things
The Problem is, since they want to let the game run for mobile Devices too, they hinder themself which is the reason they dont implement a lot of Things and the World feels rather empty.
yes, like in tower of fantasy.
@@ASkilledTactician BOTW? That game is even more empty.
I remember when dragonspine first released. It was my first patch update to experience when I first started playing. I remember it being so fun to explore during a cold winter night and how smaller the community was back then. Looking back at it is really nostalgic now. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that time
Same, back when I had hope for the game to not be a steaming pile of garbage like it is now.
@@taylon5200 I think the game is pretty good now even, just.. Stay away from the community
@@taylon5200 how is it hot garbage now
Kinda wish to forget everything and then playing again
I remembered the first time i use amber
It was really fun
Now with childe it is just boring how i can take down enemy with 1 or 2 hits
Literally same :,) when everyone was talking about mondstadt and it’s lore all those dragonspine tutorial videos
I recently revisited the unnamed island and realised you can see even more ruins underwater. I really wished we could dive I wanna know more about that island
In Port Omos if you talk to the NPC’s on the dock one of them tells you about how Fontaine has a diving helmet tech to explore underwater. Hoping with the release of Fontaine we can actually swim under water and start exploring many of the underwater ruins in Teyvat.
@@irisamanda3922 We can't, it's confirmed by in-game files that in Fontaine there will be a special type of water, in which we can dive, unlike normal water.
Diving zones only in Fontaine for now.
This is probably true for most of the community but for me, Enkanomiya is my MOST favourite place in the entire game. Even if there's nothing to do there after 100% exploration, I still visit there every 3-4 days to fish and take in the sights. It's such a beautiful place.
SAME I never really liked exploring before but enkanomiya was just so amazing that I had to complete the achievement
It's good for farming chaos robots since there are a lot there.
Samee
Don't forget about the music
i also really like Enkanomiya but My fav will always be Mondstadt :D
Now most of them are now just a bunch of GBs that take up my hard drive space.
Actually the maps file doesnt eat much, you know what takes the most of your storage ? The storyline FMVs and voice languange 😂😂😂
@@Bloomsberrybubble And you can uninstall the voicelines in the settings' resource package I believe
@@miothepurrito if i remember correctly only for mobile, on pc no u can't delete it
@@rayshadows3155 my PS4 either, its sucks to download over 25GB for each updates 😂😂😂
@@Bloomsberrybubble Voice lines and pre-rendered fmv’s are not the making up the bulk of Genshin’s size lmfao, they make up like less than 25%. High resolution textures are practically *always* the largest asset in a game.
Wth I love Dragonspine not ironically, is my favorite place, the tension you get when your sheer cold bar is going up with no stop and you need a campfire, the feeling of ''am I going to die here?'' is beautiful for me and I think Mihoyo managed to capture that feeling perfectly in the game, also, that with the search for Scarlet Quartz is very challenging (obviusly if you don't see a guide) and in the moment you get a new rank to the three is just, soo comforting I have no words to describe it.
i think you mean the agates
I haven’t seen many people who like Dragonspine too, and yh I agree with you
Dragonspine was the first area I got to a 100%, and I’ll never forget the pain of the quests
its definitely my favourite subarea, it just feels so nostalgic and it has some of the best bgm in the game, and i too like the sheer cold mechanic, everyone's always complaining about it but for me it just makes the whole "snowy mountain" so much more immersive and more dangerous
+ the beautiful OST especially the moonlight smile
are you...a masochist?
Enkanomiya was probably one of the best maps in the game. The first time you go there it's really stunning because it's very beautiful and the battle music is one of the best right now. The only problem with Enkanomiya is that only two characters benefit from the boss, Shenhe and Yae plus the fishes there aren't used in any exchange in the fishing shop. I hope they visit the place in future updates to deepen the lore of Enkanomiya. Chasm I think will be revisited because we haven't seen what happened to the girl (forgot her name) after she ventured deeper. I guess we will get another layer? Hopefully. Chasm was also a good map but the boss there just like Enkanomiya only benefits a few characters, plus the new enemies there were only used for some that I stopped farming for them after maxing Yelan.
I think that girl might be dead.🥲
Lol,i have 50% exploration in enkanomia and 100% in dragonspine and chasm😂
Tsurumi island, i feel so sad whenever I go that island, hearing the music 100% makes me cry every time. It's such an emotional place and I give props to hoyoverse for being able to create such emotional places with so much lore and story that gives people these emotions when visiting an island or area. The Chasm, Enkanomiya, and Dragonspine were very well designed and absolutely beautiful however, it's does feel lonely being there.
Okay calm down there no need to cry. It's a game.
@@cummiestcat Same energy as saying, no need to cry is a movie.
We can't be emotional moved by music now?
Ikr after finishing the quest I just can't bring myself to explore tsurumi island because I keep feeling sad whenever I heard the music.
@@cummiestcatOi lad, it's okay to cry with a game, as well that it is to cry for a book, a movie or a series.
When I set my commissions to Inazuma, I often got some of them in Tsurumi Island. I hope I'm not the only one who does this, I always let Ruu's theme finish before starting my commission or leaving the island. I love Ruu, so I could never not let the ost finish playing. I have never been so deeply in love with a song ever since Dragonspine's theme - Moonlike Smile, which is the one that sounds very gentle and soothing.
Yo same, I would always let Ruu's OST finish before I leave the island. Ruu's quest will always be my favorite quest of all time.
i never got any commissions on tsurumi 😬 despite having inazuma comms for a lil while at a time
@@rymikai this is strange bc there are at least 4 different commissions that can pop up in Tsurumi Island. You’d think that by now you would get at least one
@@arcaneghost2459 yeah go figure, at some point i had just assumed it was a zone without commissions because how far it is lore wise and nobody would adventure there to even need help or whatever
Sorry to say this but, Ruu is kinda lame. Now Neko's questline brings me heartache for so many different reasons. Did you know that Neko is a cat?
I hope they find a way to bring these places back again, they're so incredibly beautiful and I think the artists' efforts should be celebrated not forgotten
Enkanoimiya music always brings me back to that place. It’s personally my favourite OST in this game and it’s so stunning with the scenery. The ambiance too being a forgotten lost place I love it too and the music matches that with the string quartet and that beautiful cello.
still can't forgive hyv that they didn't give ruu voicelines, yet they gave one to random bird statues during the second GAA event even though they'd disappear in a month
Chain Questline and limited Event Quests differ in hierarchy. As such, limited event quests need voice lines to make them memorable unlike permanent quests.
@@emptyallen3334 but the permanent quest can only be done once so it’s still limited in the same way event quests are
@@WeiYinChan BUT they are permanent. Limited Event Quests go away
@@emptyallen3334 they are permanent in that you can do them at any time you like, but just like the event quest, once you do them you can’t redo them. So “permanent event don’t need voice line to make them more memorable” doesn’t make much sense.
@@WeiYinChan This is simply a faulty analogy fallacy. They are the same in a sense of a preemptive context, yet their core essence begs to differ.
Before everything, let us define both terms.
Limited Event Quests are quests in limited events. This examplifies that once the event ceases, it can no longer be accessed by the playerbase.
It is limited in the truth of a time frame and not of its permanence.
Permanent Quests are quests that aren't limited to a certain time frame, in simpler terms "permanent". They are accessible to the general playerbase and doesn't require a restrictive time period for it to be played.
A quest fulfills its purpose if it has been completed. Replayability doesn't equate to its permanence.
In all essence, both can be identified as quests yet the major difference is that one is in a limited time frame, while the latter is available in all times. Availability is the core factor in the assessment of both and not of its unified characteristic of being a quest.
Limited Major Event Quests are given voice lines by the developers for the reason of it being limited. If the event quest is just a text wall after another without voice acting , the general opinion of the playerbase will be in the sense of it being annoying and forgettable.
Think of it as the law of supply and demand. If the supply is surplus, the demand is quite low. On the other hand, if the supply is scarce, then consequently, its demand will be high.
Limited Major Events are higher in the hierarchy of quests for this very reason. These are limited Event Quests, why shouldn't they add voice acting?
In addition, it would make great use of the talents of the voice actors. If Ruu in the serai island chain Questline was voice acted and got more salary than the past voice actors, wouldn't it be quite unfair? This is precisely one of the many reasons why. Exposure for the past characters and increasing their relevance are quite important for a buisness model like Hoyoverse's in the long run.
You chose the most beautiful ost produced by yu-peng-chen. Enkanomiya is a masterpiece and a standard for any genre game to be very fair. You can't help but feel gloomy once you arrive and hear the place. That's how magnificent is the development of Enkanomiya. I pray that they give us regular occasions to visit the place.
Just because the game doesn't require you to return to any of these places doesn't make them worthless. You have so many memories of the events you did there, you were able to talk about the music, the views, and the emotions that they made you feel. They made an impact on your and stay in your heart!
...and forgotten.
I love seeing how Nilou dances and brings a beautiful vibes that blends into the scenery of the place ❤
bruh enkanomiya might be hard forgotten but the first time i entered that place from the snake statue hall, looking at the dainichi mikoshi in the distance gave me goosebumps safe to say that it was the only other time i was impressed by the scenery,visuals in genshin after the beginning of the game ( the desert,watasumi,seirai and chasm are breath taking as well but enka was the first to be beyond just teyvat it got me really excited)
The enka opening sight and that sight in the chasm just before we got to the upside down city,,,,, and also right at the end of the chasm exploration when we saw the chasm celestial nail,,,,,,,, THOSE. those were genuinely breathtaking.
For the Underground Chasm it’s also good for farming treasure horder mats (also ruin crabs/sentinels) when needed :D
Nah Seirai Island has a f*ck ton of ruin sentinels inside the underground cave in Amakumo Peak
@@imaginecheating9307 yeh and around other inazuma islands as well, that’s why I had it in parentheses since you can _also_ get mats in underground chasm too lol
and the chaos knights too i need them for weapon mats asc
I think Mondtsadt is sorta forgotten. Please hear me out! Everyone is so excited about Sumeru’s release and the next regions to be released. However, without Mondstadt, there would be no journey to Liyue, Inazuma, or even Sumeru. Mondstadt is the region we began with. Plenty of memories were made there. We’ve met some of our best friends, like Bennett, there. We’ve also fished Paimon out of a river/ocean. I have all of Teyvat unlocked (I can’t seem to get Enkomiya and Underground Mines) but, I still explore Mondstadt most. I even have my commissions set there. Take some time to visit the starting region and admire its beauty. Mondstadt is our home, and our beloved home.
for me, mondstadt is very warm and like a home (even if i don't visit often), but i barely look at places outside of dragonspine, springvale, and the city mainly because it's only open plains and mountains without a whole lot of ruins like in liyue and inazuma.
also, (hoping i read it correctly) if you're having trouble unlocking enkanomiya, you'll have to do a watatsumi quest to get the area and (i think( for the underground part of the chasm you'll have to do an archon quest to unlock it
whenever i need to craft i always go back to mondstadt
i think it's intentionally forgotten, there's a popular and pretty believable theory that we will be coming back to mond at the end of the game to end it's all where it's all began and all that epic stuff
They still haven’t released all of Mondstat. Hopefully when Mika becomes playable they will release Dornman’s Port, and the northern area of Mondstat. I definitely don’t think Mondstat’s role in the game is over. We still have to meet Varka as well.
@@irisamanda3922 Ohh yeah! I forgot about Varka. 😅
As an ar57 that's why I like to visit lower ar players' worlds, usually around 20 - 35. because there's a high chance they haven't explored most of these regions and it gives me so much nostalgia for what it feels like exploring with so many chests still unopened and so many puzzles yet to be done. I remember a few weeks ago I joined someone who was exploring enkanomiya in a 4 co-op world, we pretty much played for hours and hours doing quests and solving puzzles.
Im AR 58, I remember not wanting to rush ANY of the missions and just explore at my own pace, since irl im usually really busy. To this day I havent found all of the liyue’s chests and I’m still looking for them.
(My characters are stacked though :p)
i visit every places except Dragonspine that area left me with quite GOOD old memories, I'm still traumatized of that place 🗿
imagien the susbedo jumps on u when u go there lol-
I have Enkanomiya and Tsurumi at 100%, I willing explored those places whenever mood felt like it. I still visit back at Enkanomiya.
Dragonspine is at 99%, only time i explored there was in December last year
Tbo I believe some stories need to be told only once. After getting 100% Enkanomiya exploration, my thoughts of this place was as one of the best ones I've ever visited in Genshin, and it will stay in my memories forever, even when the last remnants of forsaken civilization perish 🌸😌
I still visit Enkanomiya from time to time, seeing the scenery and knowing the lore of the place gives me an eerie feeling and lowkey I dig it
Enkonomiya is beautiful and the music is phenomenal. The lonly vibes the enko ost gives is irreplaceable but unfortunately it is forgotten. 😢
As a person that loves taking pictures of the Genshin world, can’t say I have forgotten these places. I’ve been to every nook and cranny of Genshin for a good pic.
Even tho i havent been in enkanomiya for a long while, its still my absolute favorite region. The music, the scenery, the ruins, the lore, the atmosphere... i feel so calm when im there. Its a sad, lonely and eerie place, yet i find comfort in it. I hope hyv adds events or at least commisions there, altough i doubt it
I’m sure we will visit Enkanomiya again. There’s still the Vishap Shrine Maiden story that hasn’t been resolved. I wouldn’t be surprised if we meet her again in Enkanomiya and maybe they will expand the area.
Dragonspine is my favourite location. Its atmosphere, its music, its mood... Its something you cant describe. There's also one of my fav character living - Albedo. Very graceful. There was two the most epic lore events. I love this place and so bad I visit it so rarely nowadays, I remember days when I could just walk there. I remember how I got the Freeze's death achievement in the 1st day of exploring it :D I remember how it was released and when there's appeared the standard wishes for upgrading your chars' system. I remember when I got Amos from this wishes and how I was mad its not character, like Diluc or Qiqi. I remember how everyone hated Albedo because he was geo and geo was the one of the weakest elements, and honestly I was hating him too because I still was a newbie, I only had 35 AR but now he's my favourite (saying it as 59 AR player). I remember how everyone's was excited and and the same time crying from quests hardness from Dragonspine. This location brings so much good memories. Im so happy I was a part of community while Dragonspine wasnt released and witnessed its release. Sometimes I listen my favourite song from this location and just remembering how much time I was in there and how much I love this location. Very precious memories.
The secret island hit me soo hard that i shed a tears(btw i used Kaeya to get there)
Back then life was so simple when we only had to worry about hilichurls and slimes.
I miss my low AR days
Truly blissful days
Thats what I love about helping my low AR friends. Them panicking over some hilichurls while I get a break from rifthounds and funghi.
ruu's story made me teared up so bad, wished that quest had actual voice lines..

Enkanomiya and The Chasm's underground map have my favorite OSTs in the game. Before Enkanomiya's release, Dragonspine's OST was my absolute favorite, but the consecutive releases of Enka + The Chasm blew me away because of their music. I didn't think these two could be topped, but I also fell in love with Sumeru's music the moment I set foot in it upon 3.0's release. Genshin's music just keeps getting better, and I find myself wandering in these old areas just to enjoy the music while I explore extra.
wow the monstadt bg music at the end plus the sound of pressing the elemental sight button brings back the memories of being the clueless lower AR player and the feeling of loving the game solely for the story and the scenery :
I go to enkanomiya to farm specters at least :( the update with it was one of my favorites, such a cool area, it sucks that there's not much to do now
I feel you man, it was quite amazing back then exploring all those regions but ngl i am committed to revisit the places soon so that i can do some lore diggin ~ehe
The soundtrack always makes us have a greater nostalgia, remember all the moments spent in these places...
Your music choices for this video is top tier, when I heard Whence the flow cometh at the end, it was the perfect send off
Personally Enkanomiya was so fun to explore, the eerie feeling you get and the darkness make it more calm than some other places e.g. watatsumi island because of all the bright colours in your face. Same thing goes to the rest! They were my favourite to explore.
i agree, they could make a daily commission on those places especially enkanomiya
I especially avoids the underground Chasm for a few reasons. I have a lotta sad memories there and sometimes scary ones. I'm still sad about the Fatui troops that was left stranded underground not knowing that they've been abandoned and yet they still trust their God that this has to be a test from her. And another one is a female fatuus whom seems friendly and cheerful enough despite alrdy starving for days. Went too look for her after finishing her chains quests only to find that she might've been killed by a shadow warrior or died of starvation. I even marked the place where she is supposedly dead. Sad. Just sad.
Enkanomiya had IMO one of the best series of quests that contributed A LOT to the lore, I remember doing all the quests paying all the attention I could.
Bro you forgot the Jade Palace. Although it’s not an island but still nobody really goes there much. Except for taking pictures.
one day, after the game ends, visiting back these beautiful places will be sure one hell of a memories train to ride with.
its kinda scary how this video showed up in my timeline
cuz i literaly just take some pictures of enkanomiya while thinking "oh god... this place is so forgotten"
also i went to the secret island and remembered how good was all the way to get into it and the challenges i had to pass to complete the quest...
... and then your video appeared.
(great video btw, the community needs some videos like this one)
Enkanomiya is definitely one of my most favorite places. The music, place, story and everything is so interesting! I really need more quests of that place (and Enjou lol)
I still come back to both the Chasm and its Underground area because of the abundance of crystal ores and its closeness to one another. I just use Xiao > Sayu > Albedo > Zhongli for an easy walkthrough. I only play for minutes, and I always ran out of crystal chunks for enhancement ores, so if I have an extra time, I take it to digging some ores down in the Chasm.
I always visit the underground chasm every other day for the crystal ores... the drops there are really good
Yes, it's true: on the surface often falls one piece of ore - but in underground Chasm this is a rarity, there are usually two to four pieces!
I started playing like a month before dragon spine was released and I was there so much when it was, going back gives me so much nostalgia and happiness because I truly loved playing Genshin 24/7. Now it feels like I play to feel that happiness again.
Enkanomiya is by far my favorite place in Genshin. The eerie feeling of the cold light and sequestered scenery is what I came across as the closest representation of how all of my dreams look and feel like. Being in Enkanomiya is comforting to me, as weird as it sounds, since it's what I'm used to seeing in my dreams
I think not many people know this because how unpopular Tsurumi Island is .. But
Fun fact about tsurumi island:
the enemy groups changed based on day you visit
I was so confused when I was looking for a chest that contained a piece for my serenitea pot, only to release that the chest spawned on a specific day.
Oh wow thanks!! :0 Im at 65% atm and still going, but if I ever need help, now i know!! ^w^ I thought you need to wait next day for some chests, is this a mechanic at all on tsurumi, or what you said??
@@sumyguck8094 for that I think you need to do the ghost quest , it is hidden quest on Tsurumi Island
that quest can be started after you done the Ruu main quest. search some video about it for detail
Ngl, for those early players of genshin, we just go back and forth to the only regions released AKA mondstadt and liyue. I wonder how we managed to stay playing despite the drought before Golden apple and Inazuma.
But a month ago, I accidentally found a missing torch puzzle in Liyue! XD
The underground chasm will always be my comfort place in genshin
When i go to places in the past (like dragonspine) or places I remember when I started genshin, I always get that feeling, like I used to actually have fun in this game 2 years ago but now it’s just this grindy game that i’m about to finish. I started playing on my Ps4 on a NA account (my ps4 made me go to NA and you couldn’t change regions in Ps4) but eventually moved to a new account with a newly bought iPad gen 8 to Asia because i’m in Asia and i obviously wanted good ping for Spiral Abyss and stuff. I remember getting Qiqi on my 2nd standard wish and Xiao (first xiao banner) on my 8th event wish. A few banners after that I moved to PC. Everything just escalated from there, buying many genisis and welkins, losing 50/50’s, exploring everything to 100% all the way to Inazuma. I’m glad I got to play Genshin Impact. In a few days, i’m going to reach ar60 with this account of mine with 7k xp left. One day in the future when I see “Genshin Impact” I would be glad to say it was one of the best games i’ve ever played and had a lot of fun playing it.
I still come back to these places
Enkanomiya- it actually looks cool for me (I'm a sucker for old infrastructure)
Chasm- iron chucks and some chest
Underground chasm- the drop rate of the crystals there 😩
Tsurumi island- those hounds and those mushrooms
dragon spine- the scenery is amazing there And I do sometimes go there to farm 4 dragon tooth or som
Crab island- it's in the name
I'm often afk or just listening the ost at Enkanomiya & Tsurumi Island when I'm in the mood to feel peace and terrifying at the same time. But when I'm in the mood for farming ores I always visiting Chasm undeground and some islands at Inazuma for the Amethysts (and of course randomly killing those specters and rifthounds too). 😬
For music lovers, did you know that the music of Dragonspine and the underground chasm mines are similar upon reaching the skyfrost nails at both places? Just minor differences in the pace, layout and texture of the track.
This video is absolutely perfect. Every single word hits.
i havent forgotten enka yet! i think its the most beautiful place in genshin (imo) im still trying to 100% every island in it :>
Chasm and Tsurumi are in my artefact rout. Rarely go anywhere in Mondstadt outside of the city though, unless it's just for the music.
Artefact & crystal farming is the best way to revisit old places.
Soon, will have a full artefact set for every character (just the starting 4 left to go). Then it will be time to raise the 4*s from 70 to 80, so plenty of old boss and talent runs to revisit :)
After that, it's probably time to visit Natlan!
really? artifact farm in these places? they suck for artifacts. there's a hard limit of 150 artifacts a day (if you ONLY loot artifacts and nothing else), so you don't need all regions to reach that quota. best places for artifacts are kannazuka, seirai, the small island in between kannazuka and narukami island, the outer route for watatsumi, dragon spine (not a lot but they're quick to get and dense), some places in liyue like sal terrae and that treasure hoarder camp on the northern part of bishui plains, as well as that router west of the wangshu inn, and now the pyramid in sumeru's desert and the temple in front of it have a shitload of artifacts too, plus an underground route behind the pyramid
I used to farm that one certain location in Liyue filled with artifacts fodder every day but nowadays I rather go to Sumeru dessert ruin because they have decent amount.
brooo with the music and the flashbacks imma cry
Personally, Dragonspine seems to be my most forgotten one because I haven't been there for so long but I still visit the others on the list. Lore-wise, Enkanomiya seems to be the most forgotten because no living NPC ever lives there and it is deep beneath the ocean. I actually visit Tsurumi island from time to time just to feel its creepy vibes.
This Secret Island was the side challenge where I need to fight the Eye of the Storm, only twice!
Such a great adventure.
Am I the only one who loves Enkanomiya so much that I fight all the Ruin Machines in it every now and then for fun, just so I would have a reason to go there?
Enkanomiya and The Chasm
Bro, this video bought back good vibes
Love mondo, love liyue, love dragonspine, love enkanomiya, love chasm, love sumeru, but i decided ever since its release that inazuma will be my forever home in teyvat, while i agree that sumeru is the best region overall, inazuma just hit me differently (one of the most fun i've had in gaming was in inazuma). Thank you for taking us back in memory lane tho, its nice seeing places that i haven't visited for a long time 😊
i hate sumeru. to me it's by far the worst region. exploration is a chore. they threw away all the good design philosophies the other regions had for exploration. sumeru is too large. and i don't mean it has too much stuff, i mean everything in there is oversized for no reason. it results in pretty vistas that are incredibly bad to explore and feel super baren and sparse. not NEARLY as dense as other regions. it's like sumeru is made for gundams, not normal humans. not to mention the caves. oh, i can't put how much i hate them into words properly. and let's not forget that they gate exploration behind terribly long and boring quests. i hate everything about sumeru. can't wait to go to the next country and i hope they fix all of this crap in that one. also, because everything is so big and this game's draw distance is SO FREAKING BAD, you fly above a region looking for things to do and you might miss EVERYTHING because you're not close enough to be able to even see them. like, for real? who designed this region?
liyue is actually peak exploration. traversal is awesome, and most of liyue is triple-layered (ground level, mid-mountain paths, peaks), while transitions between layers being possible at any time and all three being easily read from a map, and you can climb high and see the dense dotting of interactables throughout the terrain in all layers. it is just a delight to explore.
dragonspine is a close second. mondstadt is a bit too basic, but nothing about it is offensively bad, so it's a good region. inazuma is okay, but most islands have one or other exploration unfriendliness about them, like cliffs with protrusions you can't climb. it's still decent. but it has the densest elite monster spawns, so it's the most fun region to coop in (i mean, after enkanomiya, that is the BEST region to do elite routes in, but it's like part of inazuma so yeah still counts for inazuma). lots of monsters to kill. sumeru just made everything inazuma does wrong a hundred times worse. and the monsters suck on top of it, lol.
Going back to Tsurumi Island just to listen to Ruu's theme is also very me. His theme really stuck to me and I still tear up every time I hear it. It's really sad when these areas were only amazing for a short time and they don't add any more stuff to do in there after you fully consumed every single thing. I wish they would add commissions there, too, or at least more world quests. But it's nice to go back to these places from time to time just to reminisce past experiences c:
Also, my number 1 forgotten place... I would say Dragonspine as it's been quite a while since we last had updates for that area, but then I still go there to farm cryo artis and sometimes commissions. So definitely Enkanomiya. That place just feels even more empty once you're done with everything, but it certainly is a beautiful place.
"This scenery is wonderful surely enough to convince anyone to become a wanderer" - DILUC???
Ain't that Kazuha's idle line 😆
imagine that in the future we finish the genshin impact story, and then we go to a place we have been before
Bold of you to assume that it's forgotten lmao.. as an endgame player with no endgame, i often hang out in these all mentioned places (except the secret island in mondstadt) for music. Tsurumi music.. dragonspine music.. Enkanomiya music... Chasm music literally brings me to homeland IRL.. The composer literally is a god..
Nice vid, I feel nostalgic. Actually, I barely visit any of the old places once completed. I set my commissions on the latest nation as this helps in getting 100% map exploration and reputation. There are still a handful of achievements I'm missing but it's annoying due to the rng nature of commissions.
My commissions are always in Mondstadt, I have never even tried doing them in Inazuma and Sumeru ^^
i love winter and snow in general and i also started playing genshin when dragonspine first came out. i love it sm i still visit and i love their battle ost! brings back memories
not me, I love strolling around all these places once a week, they're just so pretty. The vibes are unmatched!
Dragonspine is the least forgotten, with the yearly seasonal albedo event story quest.
Tsurumi, the statue for the thunderbird, and the 2d artwork of kapactr look like fischl's Oz and the nightraven statues, indicating a link between fischl's unique vision and kapactr. Her final character story quest might well have us traveling with fischl and oz to tsurumi island.
Prior to Sumeru, Enkanomiya was one of the best places to play hide and seek with friends.
I like the underground chasm more than above ground chasm part,, loved all the quests in there!!
omg. the unnamed island bringing so much memories(( can’t believe it’s been 2 years..
Just recently been going to underground chasm to level up Kuki. Already got everything I need two weeks ago, but felt like exploring the place once more yesterday. Found lots of unlocked chest indicators lmao; I was probably saving them for later but ended up forgetting about it. Got enough primos for 2 pull just from the chests alone.
as much as i wish we had more stuff to do in these places (enka and dragonspine are my absolute favorite places in genshin, seriously), i kinda get why they become "forgotten" after we're done with them. most of these have one of two thing in common - the celestial "nail" and some kind of civilization being pretty much wiped out, presumably by celestia itself. so it makes sense to me that they get so empty - celestia WANTS people to forget about them, and that would include the player
as for the secret island - the quest there hints at an archon that is to be mentioned yet in the main story, the archon of time. something tells me that we will go back to that island or something like that by the time khaenri'ah comes out
Nice choice of places. Music is also one big thing to me. There are very nice places int he game but because they are difficult to access, not that we forgot them, we just don't go there. A nice place early game was the floating island in Liyue and also a very high peak by Liyue city where there is a big white chest at the top. I did climb this the hard way yet I found later there is a clover mechanism that at least helps a bit to get there. On that peak there is a wind field that allow us to stay there and enjoy the view.
The unexpected discovery of Enkanomiya is indeed my favorite moment so far, and the music there is just godly. And I love Shenhe as a character, sadly I don't have her
Funny how the Chasm was so anticipated and wanted, like people were yelling for it for ages, then after it came out it’s more or less just forgotten
The theme I am hearing from Ruu's Melody is actually Song of Innocence. I missed going there since the World Quest of the Thunderbird before saying goodbye to Ruu one final time.
The chasm’s underground is literally my favorite place solely because of Dainslef’s quest and the vibe it gives
I didn’t even know the secret island existed until ar45-55, I was looking for the last world quest in Mond and found the people talking about it online
Enkanomiya is such a great place to be.. with haunting music and so much lore going on in there! I hope we are not done yet.. I think we should have a 3rd Celestial Nail (like one in dragonspine (Mond) & Chasm (Liyue) in Inazuma and it could be in Enkanomiya?
Its in sumeru. 3.4 new area
I think the creepiest pre-3.0 location in Teyvat was definitely the unlocked secret room in the Nameless Ruins. Something about the desolate, ethereal soundtrack within the ruins, the disheveled appearance of the room behind the door, and that ominous letter is just strangely... terrifying. There are no monsters in this particular spot, but for some reason I never feel safe in that room...
Ah, and I forgot to mention, I fully recreated the first theme from the Nameless Ruins (yes, I played the violin and piano parts for real!) a few months ago... here's the link!
czcams.com/video/hrY0WlOeAmg/video.html
@Lu M Oh, there's plenty! First of all, unlocking the secret room requires that you defeat all nine Black Serpent Knights throughout the Chasm: Underground Mines. Each of them has a unique dialogue as you approach and as you defeat them. Some of these Black Serpents speak of the fall of Khaenri'ah, or at least what remains of their memories of it when they were still human. But others of their rank can be found wallowing in patches of dark mud, and are implied to be echoing memories that are not their own (that's to say, they may not be talking about the disaster in Khaenri'ah, but instead of the Unified Civilization's downfall millennia prior... this is due to the fact that the dark mud is a manifestation of Ley Line energy leaking out and revealing memories to anyone who comes into contact with it). There's also a bit more: the materials that the Black Serpents drop are depictions of a one-eyed king, who, based on the Norse inspirations of the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah and its people, seems to match the description of a certain Odin from Norse mythology. Very interesting stuff!
When you defeat all nine of them and obtain the Orbs of the Blue Depths, you can unlock the secret room at the far end of the Nameless Ruins' inverted city to find this letter, the complete version of which can only be found by piecing the readable fragments from various Travelers (in other words, multiple game accounts):
"Not as if I were to be outfitted as that guardian of Khaenri'ah
Not as if my destructive self were made to be the lyre of Barbatos
Not as if I were to soar like a Pegasus
Not if I were the swift, snow-white pair of Morphes
Add these to the feather-footed and the winged
And likewise, call for the swiftness of the winds
And though you should harness these, friend, and offer them to me
Yet I should be tired to the bone
And worn away by frequent faintness
My friend, while I would search for you
The heavens fall to pieces
And falsehoods collapse"
It's a Genshin transcription of a work written by a real-life Roman poet named Catullus, and I find it especially notable that Barbatos, of all names, would show up here! Venti's looking to be a whole lot more than he seems...
among all the places, enka is my absolute favourite. the scenery, the music, the LORE, everything was just perfect.
Lots of ARPG game may come and go but Lore & Music of Genshin Impact Remains in our Heart ❤️
Dragonspine is my fav area in the game so far, 100% it, haven't been to the Chasm or Inazuma yet however
Wait, I've heard of Enkanomiya, but IDK where that is or how to get there- Someone please tell me if I can still get there
I *love* the Chasm (Underground) and it's one of my favorite places in Genshin Impact, actually... I go in there for fun cause I love the atmosphere there
Tsurumi island, hm? I haven't really done the quest to get rid of the mist there yet, and I might get to that some time soon
My dislike and irritation with Dragonspine from lower ARs stayed with me TvT But I mean, it's still an interesting place and I enjoyed most of the World Quests there
Oh yeah, the Secret Island... Eh, well, I don't really have much of a reason to go back there, so I get that it's forgettable for me
Overall, exploring is my favorite thing to do in Genshin Impact, so I'm glad I had a lot of fun times with most of these places ^^
Also, that quote at 4:14 was by Kazuha TvT
Ekanomiya can be entered through the pool in watatsumi, although it has a quest which allows you to access it
@@rize9893 Ohh, I see... Thanks, I'll look up that Quest ^^
I often revisit all the places to bring back memories of the past two years.
There’s something interesting about secret island, if you die from the boss, when you get back to fight, there will be a storm around the island and you can see it from afar
It’s so nice
