Map of the new Natlan region

First areas Sumeru, to the left of Hadramavet and Kollonnad. Despite the insider's statements GuraLeak Due to the huge size of the Piro region map at the time of update 5.0, the total area of ​​the first part of the new kingdom can be compared to the Sumeru rainforest of version 3.0. According to information from UTeyvat, in addition to the above-ground territory, Natlan has many underground territories and even some islands in the sky.

On accessible areas, according to HomDGCat и jokerverse, there are three tribes of local residents: Dendro, Hydro and Geo. As new areas of Natlan emerge, their number will increase. According to one of the in-game NPCs, saurians, lizard-like creatures, will be the first ones the Traveler meets on his way from Sumeru to Natlan. Animals live mainly near the borders of regions, in an extensive network of caves, adjacent to mines with precious stones. They are also inhabited by the Geo Tribe, who specialize in jewelry and gem grading.

Pyrocules

Pyrocules — an adventure item used to upgrade the Archon statue in Natlan. Special elemental clumps will be found throughout the Piro region. According to an insider jokerverse, the statue in Natlan will need 271 Pyroculus, which corresponds to the maximum number of oculi in Sumeru and Fontaine for all their versions. In patch 5.0, you will most likely be able to pick up about 90 oculi.

New characters

As previously reported by insiders, with the release of update 5.0, 2 new playable legendary Natlan characters, an epic heroine, and a Pyro Traveler will become available.

Pyro Traveler

Resonance with the statues of the Piro Archon in Natlan, in contrast to other regions, will not give New strength for the traveler. The method for obtaining the fire element was not revealed on the developers' stream, but it is assumed that in version 5.0 there is still a way to change the active element of the Traveler to Pyro, as well as unlock a number of new abilities.

In a separate article they described in more detail, When is Pyro the Traveler coming out?.

Mualani

Citlali, a local fortune teller.

Kinich

Kinich is a mercenary Saurian hunter, notorious among the locals as a "cruel, ruthless, and cold-blooded killer with only a profit in mind." Despite the fact that the Natlans have long learned to live in peace and harmony with the saurians, there is still a need in the kingdom to exterminate some especially dangerous individuals. This is exactly what hunters do, including Dendro the Claymore Man. Despite his unsociability, Kinich never does work alone - he is accompanied everywhere by his companion, the self-proclaimed dragon majesty Cuchul Ahab.

Kachina

Kachina - a girl from a mountain tribe that calls itself the “Clan of the Children of Echoes.” The baby, despite her very young age, already stands out among other children with her exceptional skills in finding hidden treasures. As a resident of a tribe of talented jewelers and miners, Geo Spearwoman knows the mountain paths and caves like the back of her hand. Like any child, Kachina is quite active and inquisitive, and therefore quite often returns home with a bunch of bruises and contusions.

New characters in the story that will become playable

The design of the characters, like the entire region, is made in a special style, combining the culture of the Aztecs, Mayans, as well as Africa and Spain. That is why, as reported hxg_diluc, among these characters there will be both light-skinned and dark-skinned characters.

Chaska

Clorinda, as well as its early concepts. It is reported that Chaska is a legendary archer, and her Eye of God is Anemo (in the first trailer it was Cryo, but an Anemo tool was noticed on the stream).

yansan

yansan — the first known character of Natlana to represent the region in a teaser "Genshin Impact - Teyvat". This little girl with dark skin and unusual elven ears is a trainer of champions from the Fertile Lands tribe. According to preliminary information from insiders, she is an epic spearwoman, and her God Eye is Electro.

Shilonen

Shilonen - a resident of the Geo tribe Dei Eha, engaged in jewelry and mining. Like baby Kachina, who belongs to the same people, she is not human and has the ears and tail of an ocelot. In the trailer, the girl's Geo God Eye can be seen, and the alleged weapon, according to information from insiders, is a one-handed sword.

Citlali

Citlali - another mysterious girl whose first appearance took place in a video presentation. Possesses the Cryo Eye of God and is believed to be of the same tribe as Chaska or Mualani. She is able to predict the onset of “favorable days”, and therefore is very popular among many Natlan residents.

Ororon

Ororon - a mysterious young man from the Lords of the Night Wind tribe, who appeared in the video presentation only for a few seconds. His exact role in the plot of the kingdom is still unknown, however, it can be assumed that he is somehow connected with the forces of Fatui in Natlan.

Mavuika

Venti. So far, insiders claim that the girl’s weapon is a two-handed sword.

Xbalanque

Neuvillette) and future playable character. According to insider descriptions, he is a young man with an average or adult model. At the moment, there are three options for his appearance: with light skin and blond or red hair, as well as with dark skin and blond hair. Xbalanque was not shown in the region's trailer, so his appearance will likely be connected to the development of Natlan's plot.

Capitano

Ordo Favonius. The man happened to cross paths with the Harbinger during an expedition, after which the latter went to the Piro region to resolve local conflicts. According to early information from insiders, Capitano will be a playable Pyro Swordsman, but in the trailer he was controlling the powers of the Cryo element.

The second Harbinger in Natlan may become Columbine. It is not yet known for sure whether the girl will be playable, however, there is still a high chance of such an outcome.

New artifacts

In total, there are only three dungeons located on the territory of the first region of Natlan:

• skill - talent books to upgrade the skills of local characters;
• will - "Ancient Watchpoint" - materials for the elevation of Natlan weapons;
• blessings - artifacts.

New quests

As the developers themselves stated, starting with the Natlan updates, priority will be given to the quest line and the game’s lore rather than to gameplay and land exploration. That is why we should expect a large number of tasks to be released in the patch.

Archon missions

With the release of the region, two chapters of the fifth volume of the history of Teyvat will open in the game. Some heroes from Sumeru will take part in them, "Black stone buried under white".

Legend Quests

The release of legendary characters is almost always associated with the release of legend quests. However, in Natlan they are dedicated not only to individual heroes. With the release of the version, each of the three available tribes will receive a maximum of three chapters of the following quests:

• Geo people Nanatzkayan - chain "Prayer for Blessing on the Ridge";
• Hydro tribe Metztli - "Where the springs return";
• Dendro community of Huitztlan - "The Flame of Yupanqui's Turn".

World Quests

Due to the impressive size of the new territories and the many NPCs available for interaction, you can expect the release of a large number of world quests that tell the history of the region and its inhabitants, as well as allowing you to get to know the unique mechanics better.

Also, due to the introduction of another world level, all players of Adventure Rank 58 and above with the release of the region will have access to the “Adventure Rank Up” quest, which will likely take place in the dungeon july gardens.

In a separate manual we collected all world tasks in Natlan.

Daily errands

After a certain task from the Archons, Katerina will begin to issue daily quests taking place in the territory of Natlan. Some of them will be represented by simple combat missions or challenges, while others will be a story chain with forks and achievements.

The special manual listed all Natlan's orders.

New enemies and creatures

On the territory of Natlan, in addition to the usual and widespread slimes, Fatui fighters and jumpers, you will encounter many unique enemy creatures:

• ordinary warriors and saurian warriors, an analogue of treasure thieves and hermits;
• the Mysterious Source Automaton, an elite primordial mechanism similar to those found in the Sumerian deserts;
• saurians and embodiments of various elements.

New bosses

With the release of the region, two world bosses will become available, the materials of which will be needed to level up the first Natlan characters. Both creatures are giant saurians, lizard-like creatures: tyrant corn.

• local curiosities of Natlan: Sea Feather, Sparkling Chrysanthemum, Quenep Berry, Saurian Paw;
• four different types of wood;
• various materials from local creatures and bosses.

Tribal Reputation

Mechanics reputation and her score in Natlan is significantly different from all existing ones. Instead of earning a general reputation throughout the kingdom for completing tasks and orders, as was done in all previous regions, in Piro the nation will have to level up its “relationships” with each individual tribe. There will be 6 such “trees” in total, as well as the peoples themselves.

Each tribe has its own reputation window and rewards for increasing levels. To obtain “trust” points, you will need to complete world quests that relate only to this nation.

The usual system and rewards in the form of recipes for the Treasure Com, Pyroculus Echo Stone and a special glider will also be present. However, these levels will increase only for general progress among all tribes. At the time of Natlan's release, only 3 nations will be available.

We looked at it in special guides Tribal Chronicles reputation every people.

Nanatzkayan: Children of Echoes

Geo people, consisting mainly of miners and jewelers. Living mainly in mountainous areas, its inhabitants are engaged from childhood in exploring caves and searching for minerals and other treasures. The Nanatskian include the little Kachina and the lady with leopard ears and tail Shilonen.

Huitztlan: Descendants of the Crowns

Dendro is the community to which the saurian hunter Kinich belongs. The settlement of Uitztitline is located mainly on wooden platforms at the very tops of the cliffs. Presumably, the specialization of local residents is hunting or other interactions with animals.

Metztli: People of the Springs

A hydro tribe whose activities focus primarily on cartography and exploration of the region. It includes the wave-bender Mualani, and also, probably, the fortuneteller Citlali.

New mechanics

On the territory of Natlan there are many unique mechanics that greatly facilitate the exploration of the Piro region, as well as help local residents in battle.

In a special article they explained how to solve riddles in Natlana.

Night Spirit

The night spirit is a special state inherent only to the characters of Natlan, only partly similar to pneumus energy from Fontaine. It is essentially an alternate stamina gauge, indicating the level of charge of unusual power. This energy can be used both for a special method of movement and for strengthening in battle. There are currently three Night Spirit mechanics known:

• eruption. If there is a Natlana character in the party, dealing elemental damage to them will earn several Night Spirit points. The more Natlan heroes in the squad, the faster the fortune accumulates.
• Gain. Accumulating Night Spirit transforms the movement and attacks of Natlan heroes. A glow appears around their model. According to insiders, the Night Spirit is capable of inflicting additional damage in battle, as happens with pneumusia.
• Hyphenation. In areas of Natlan with a certain effect, when switching to a Natlan character while moving, a special method of movement is activated (Mualani board, Kinicha grappling hook, Kachina drill).

In a separate guide, how to use Night Spirit.

Mounts

Saurians are elemental lizard-like creatures that live in the territory of Natlan. The traveler will have to get to know them better and even tame them. Various forms of lizards can be used for personal purposes to quickly explore the region, but a certain type of lizard is only available in the territory of a specific tribe. Thus, it is not possible to explore the lands of the Geo People in the form of Dendro Saurian and vice versa.

Management manuals have been prepared for each of the dragonets:

• Tepetlysaurus (Geo);
• Yumkasaurus (Dendro);
• Koholasaurus (Hydro).

New offering system
