Sumeru nail is most likely inside the giant sandstorm. It has blue light emanating from the inside, the same colour as other nails. And the lore supports this theory.
@@SparklilyCordiale ik but i want to see one lol there was nothing like descending the chasm for hours only to come across another celestia nail!! so cool
@@Not_Sheo Ah, I see! You're right.
there is no nail there
now i wonder where's fontaine's celestia nail is
@@knightmare4808 remuria probably
It seems like everyone forgot so I’m gonna remind them of the door to khaenri’ah. That’s probably the biggest lore dropped in plain sight imo
more like didn't forget but simply just didn't unlock it yet. I don't have it unlocked either
most things are locked behind world quests not everyone does them
@@Hronika-kw5pl they should rework the dialogue and cut the unnecessary parts of it. Some of them are too long AND too boring.
@@basedarsonist still not a point of my reply, some people just simply doesn't care about wq and/or only do the main quest and/or skip through everything
@@basedarsonist do people not like lore anymore
also just plain gorgeous
I've got to say, the little area inside the Chasm, with the small amount of greenery and the secret entrance into Sumeru, has to be one of my favorite places since hidden away in the corner of the world, does a small of growth thrive. I love going there, just to see the lighting.
@@yoshinanakazawa2131 totally, t's really nice there
This area also has two special soundtracks that play nowhere else and my god, I could gush about them for hours.
The music somehow embodies melancholy and sadness, but also a sense of hope and peace.
This area feels like a safe haven from the horrors of Chasm and I love it so much and arghhh, I'm glad other people also appriciate it.
Same, before sumeru came out id go there for no reason except to look around and i imagined it would look like that. And the fact that the only puzzle there gives you that shriveled seed and you never do anything is so strange, especially since its a four star item
@@IZABELAqqqqqshriveled seed is an item for a side quest in sumeru, try looking it up! (Not sure if you already know that or not btw, the way you worded gave me the impression you didn't)
I love how there used to be rumors that the green area in the Chasm was connected to Sumeru, and then it eventually came true! If you climb the tree roots in the Chasm high enough, you can go through and come out near the first Statue of Seven in Sumeru.
1. The view from the top of Dragonspine nail.
2. The ruin guard factory and the door looking thing under Tunigi Hollow in the desert of Sumeru.
3. The top of the Great Pyramid in the desert.
4. The Jade Chamber.
5. The top of the tallest tower in Stormterror’s Lair.
6. The ice cave at the top of the waterfall in the Stone Gate/Monstadt canyon.
7. The view from Cape Oath.
8. Mawtiyima Forest
9. The building at the top of Qingyun Peak
10. The Boat called The Alcor in Guyun Stone Forest.
@@ivantyler4593 alcor was originally going to be on this list lol that's a classic
the big ass door under Tunigi Hollow is my number 1 forgotten place for me, just imagine a whole forgotten civilization behind that door (Khaenri'ah obviously)
@@trunganh7210 when i first got there and noticed it was a khaenri'ah door i just stared at it for like 10 minutes in complete disbelief
3:40 yeah!! i’ve helped so many newer players with the dragonspine quest (in the mountains) over the years bc i remember someone at a higher AR level helping me through it and it’s really fun to pay it forward. in the mountains is one of the more difficult quests in early game bc it’s not that intuitive, and ofc that final part where you see the nail rise into the sky always takes my breath away
@@paragayyy that's so fun! I should try finding some low AR players to help lol
yes i did that all the time too! my signature has been “your local dragonspine tour guide :)” for about 2 years now because of it
@@Not_Sheo i mostly just join random low AR worlds and ask if they need help, and if i see that they don't have dragonspine explored i ask them if they want to do it
Having a higher AR player help you with dragonspine was core experience to everyone starting in 1.2
Another nostalgic location is the floating platform above the statue of the seven in the huaguang stone forest, where the luxurious chest was. In fact the whole of the huaguang stone forest is so nostalgic, like that small pool on top of the one mountain
There's actually another place where you can find a weapon modeled in the overworld: at Guyun Stone Forest above the domain there's a Skyrider Greatsword embedded in a rock!
When I first got to the Sumeru desert and started exploring the underground ruins, I REALLY didn't like being down in them. They gave me this feeling of like I was exploring forbidden grounds and tampering with some unknown force. But now, being down in some of them is really peaceful for me. I guess some things change🤷♀
The string music that plays at the overworld portion of the Chasm gives me full body goosebumps. There's something so incredibly lonely and wistful about it. It kind of feels like I'm walking through a field after hearing that somebody close to me has died. It's that visceral to me, lol. I think in part because of Zhongli's story - that is what it's like for him.
The underground chasm was my most stressful experience in Genshin, since I was low AR and it had a lot of wolves.
@@Lukz243 fair lol the wolves can be nasty early on
Say what you will about Genshin, but there are very few games that have managed to make me cry from the sheer weight of implications from certain places in its world. Like, so many of these places carry incredibly tragic and emotional stories with them that you can discover through quests and books and inscriptions, and they touch my heart every time.
Same, like i get people complaining about it for the rewards and such, but some people seem to completely gloss over these aspects of the game which for me make it the best part honestly
Love this style of videos, it's so soothing to listen to.
16:18 this actually happened to me! When Sumeru came out, for the pull ritual to get Tighnari, I decided to go to the green space in the Chasm and climbed as high as I could. Then I saw there was a sparkle up there and touched it, and boom, I accidentally landed in Sumeru! I was streaming to a friend and we were both very surprised haha. And I did get Tighnari at 40 pity, so win!
@@aliced125 that's so funny lol glad you enjoyed
My favorite place has to be Enkanomiya. I remember the first time walking through The Seprent's Bowels and opening the huge gates while the OST was playing. I still sometimes just wander around there because it has a sad, lonely but somehow calming vibe.
Also, has the best OST imo.
I'm so sad that we didn't meet any talking mushrooms in Sumeru. There's a whole garden of them and yet none of them are like Xamaran despite it being so interesting as a character.
Well there was Nahida's 2nd story quest, kinda
One of the reasons I love the photography events is to revisit places like these and think about which characters/idle animations etc would complement them well!!!
something that adds to all the nostalgia is the soundtrack! everytime i go back to older regions, i feel so nostalgic hearing the music. i remember being soooo impressed by their OST and now I just take it for granted.
my favorite place in genshin has to be the eternal oasis. the music there is so soothing. sometimes, after i finish a long quest or a spiral abyss run, i go there, sit on one of those chairs and just listen to the music. i also like to go up to the tree where jeht left her dad's axe and her mom's notes. man i really wanna meet jeht again
That opening shot of Fontaine is already nostalgic for me lol. It was my first new region upon joining the game and I was so hyped for it as I was learning French in school too. I counted down the hours and when it launched I literally sprinted back to my room to boot it up. I was torn between appreciating the view for a while longer or starting the archon quest. It does feel like yesterday but that is also what makes it sad looking at the view, it feels so recent but it’s been almost a year since its release and shows just how much time has passed.
Anyway as a Sumeru desert enjoyer, thank you for appreciating us. My favorite one is probably the Desert of Hadramaveth because it’s the desert but it also has this dramatic and melancholy theme to it, which matches with the lore of the area, I also love the Jeht quest.
@@seagaulle long live jeht!!! playable when hoyo :,)
Based desert enjoyer
Today when I was spending resin by grinding for aftefacts I missclicked and went to the domain called "red desert threshold" instead. It's one of those single challenge domains that serve no other purpose besides being a teleportation spot. I had forgotten how absolutely gorgeous it was, even though it's just one room. I think most players forgot about those single challenge domains.
Its quite unfortunate that they didn't continue making those domains on version 4.0 and beyond
Ahhhh... Seirai Island brings back a lot of bad memories of climbing, falling, and falling again - it was great, though!
There’s also the “bazar”? Of Sumeru with the theater. I like going to it and just walk there.
@@Auyu-px4dd that's a good one!
Yes the grand bazaar is quite a cool place! I know a lot of people didn't like Nilou's story quest with the Zubayr Theatre troupe but I do feel nostalgic for it whenever I go down there.
your videos are so thoughtful! (& you have a very cozy voice.) I recently showed a friend who doesn't play Genshin the map teyvat which led to us teleporting around the map randomly and looking at how gorgeous and detailed the world is for like 2 hours. my friend was in disbelief about how cool it was and I realized I need go back through the map more often. After my friend left I opened RUclips and saw your last nolsstalgic video and was like "dang I somehow didn't show my friend all of these other cool places" which was wild because we looked at the map for over two hours. just goes to show how wonderfully detailed the world is. Thanks for making this video!
@@moo6963 that's a lovely story!
I'm a fairly new player (started Oct. 2023) but I still get the nostalgia from this video lol I love it!
The Mondstadt island, I actually didn't go there for the longest time, it was the last quest I had to do in order to complete all Mondstadt's. I had bittersweet feelings, but it was fitting in a way. It was like the last remaining "big" secret Mondstadt could offer me.
As a suggestion for whenever you decide to incluide Fontaine, one of my favorite little hidden places in there is the underwater dome/hideout in the Salacia Plains area. The one that is initially blocked by a red barrier and you get a Luxurious Chest for unlocking it for the first time. It's just such a comfy, cozy place to come back to, like a safe little corner or resting place in the middle of the sea, you even have a music box inside and you can change the music for a hidden achievement. If I remember right, it's also where one of Fontaine's World Quests ends, but I can't remember which one for the life of me lol.
@@LMC-xz6qh that's a great spot!
Omg yes I remember that, I also loved the achievement you get which references the Sound of Music. That was back in day 1 or 2 of me exploring Fontaine.
I for one really like going back occasionally to that sort of stone gate in stormterror's lair that leads up to a ton of out of bounds water, i find it so mesmerizing and i can vaguely recall going there with dainsleif and almost crying 'cuz that was already my fave spot :[
@@starcake4936 one day those gates will be open!
i simply adore the athmosphere and the vibe your videos give, they really recall all of those memories where ive been exploring teyvat when i was relatively still new to the game! if i may, my most beloved and most nostalgic place probably has to be that one temple at the start of liyue's archon quest where they summon rex lapis, and where liyue's archon quest ends, before we go to inazuma. It was just up ahead of yiyan temple. i remember from that moment on where rex lapis fell from the sky, that was the first time where genshin truly pulled me into the havoc of its lore. i started playing in sept of 2022, im ar60 now, and looking at these videos just makes me wanna go back in time and experience all of those locations again for the first time
@@realmoftranquileternity thanks so much for the kind words! that's a great pick
Oh yes. So good! Thank you!
Now, do we remember Luhua pool? Ruins in Araumi - our 1st real underground area! Giant cave inside dragonspine? Cave beneath Varunastra with control mechanism?
@@Sirindilable all good picks!
I remember thinking that the parts of the map i hadnt unlocked didnt exist, and only mondstant existed. i vividly remeber my awe when i found quince village and liyue and being so genuinely excited that there were two more citites. fun times :)
it's crazy that I feel like Sumeru was just yesterday
I remember climbing Chasm mountains (instead of going through the tunnel) and finally seeing Sumeru for the first time
Def gotta mention the Jade Chamber!! How badass it was for Ningguang to have it destroyed in one of the most memorable moments of the story for me, only to bring it back?? Still stands as one of my favourite places to vibe in.
Love these types of videos! Watatsumi Island takes me on a nostalgia trip all the time.
For me, it's one of the prettiest locations in the game and also had pretty interesting and mysterious landmarks (like the hydro hypostasis area, the cave where we got the "Key of the Deep", and even the skeleton of an umibouzo named Kuntira nestled in the beach).
One of my favourite places is the "chasm withered tree" (that's its name in the wiki). There's something so ominous yet serene about it, and I absolutely love it
these videos have such a cozy vibe to them, its like stopping to smell the flowers but Genshin edition. Love it!!
@@yashikosame glad you enjoyed!
Idk if it’s that nostalgic for me but Chinju forest has got to be one of my favorite places in Genshin, I can’t really describe how it’s make me feel… Another place that I like is the place where we last see Katarina in the chasm, it also gives me feelings I can’t describe. Probably because of the quest as well as its lore, how cramped it is and alone you feel when you walk around there, as it is in the reaches of a cave that itself makes you feel alone. If u don’t know what I’m talking about just look up Katarina on the wiki and you’ll probably remember.
That quest hit different, chasm atmosphere was one of my favorites because of how desolate it felt
The first time I got to liyue was that exact path where you were talking about the transition from monstadt to liyue. In game it was the afternoon time setting and when I walked through the plains I was just blown away by the colors and how beautiful everything looked. You just helped me unlock a core memory there.
A few of my most nostalgic places are:
- the cave from Xianling story quest, where you find the frozen guy. It can actually still be visited.
- inside of the Dilucs tavern in Mondstadt
- the ship near the Liyue Harbor that you can board by asking one of the people on the boats in the harbor
- the place in which you fight with Lupus Boreas during Razor quest
@@arachne5656 the xiangling cave being revisitable is definitely news to me! i'll have time check it out
Another spectacular nostalgic tour. Looking forward to the next one!
I re-enter the domain in Guili Plains (Domain of Forsaken Ruins) from time to time. I just love the ambience and being in there brings back so many memories. The mist covering the ground, the giant tree atop the floating stone island, and of course the background of the swirling clouds around the sun is unforgettable. It's also a surprisingly large map that seems to extend forever.
@@Stevium oooh domains are a good idea to go back to! Glad you enjoyed~
It’s ironic how Dehya, a desert citizen, is the best character to play as when traveling in the coldest place
@@eertikrux666 dragonspine is a mountain peak, and dehya is peak, so in that way it makes perfect sense
The Dawn Winery will always be one of my favorite places since the first time I visited it, the area and its scenery are just so beautiful and it also got like 3 whole soundtracks for such a small location
Hope to see more of these. Not just nostalgic places, but places that invoked fear, sadness etc. love the videos, thanks for reminding us why we're sticking with this game.
A lot of the grand vistas are understandably what people remember fondly about the previous nations we tore through. For me I have really vivid memories of some smaller villages and settlements that I just thought felt so magical. Every nation has at least one place like that. For me I really love Springvale, Qingce Village (although Qiaoying Village might become even more so in the future, love that place!), Ritou (and the neighboring Konda Village) and Caravan Ribat would be my picks if I had to choose one from each nation. Although I almost feel like Caravan Ribat counts toward the "grand vistas" cause it's just so cool how one end of it is in the desert and the other end is in the rainforest.
Whenever Genshin will shutting down one day, combine with the new Hide UI feature,im just gonna go on a world tour of Teyvat one last time
Albedo's hidden alchemy cave on Dragonspine.
im proud to say that i first got into sumeru through the chasm but it was nothing like that, it was a tunnel that you actually had to walk through and you would step into sumeru at the end of the tunnel, they might have added the thing on the tree after.
also, today i discovered a place that i feel many people dont know about while doing layla’s hangout event which is the very top of the house of daena. its such a gorgeous place and ive never seen anyone mentioning it once cuz its like hidden ig (the same for the bottom of the house of daena where the archon quest takes place)
another place that people forget about is the temple of silence that you get access to after cyno’s second story quest and its such a gorgeous place that truly represents how old is the organisation and the desert so please add these two places in the next part (if you do a next part (please do))
edit: i forgot to mention that to get to the top and the bottom of the house of daena you have to take the elevator 😭
That tunnel between the Chasm and Sumeru is a nostalgic place for me. I loved the slow buildup revealing more and more of what the Sumeru climate is like, and barely being able to see anything until the end of the tunnel. Reaching the exit was like giving it a grand reveal.
@@EternaMidnight EXACTLY!!! i don't know why they removed it, its such a vibe i love it
@@ymerlinn6851 I'm pretty sure it's still there? It's just hard to find but easier to get in from the Sumeru side
When the Sumeru desert first came out, I throughly enjoyed exploring it. I actually had found the puzzles to be super fun and the exploration to be very fun in general as well. I think my love for the Sumeru desert is also because it's so different to the rest of Teyvat since it contrasts Teyvat being very lush and green overall. With that said, I also absolutely love the Chasm! I really really like the color scheme of the Chasm, underground and above-ground! I remember being kinda spooked by the atmosphere of the underground chasm when the area first released lol. But me being a bit spooked and cautious really added to the thrill of it all! (PS, I'm not sure if many people know/remember at all, but there is actually still a way you can go out of bounds in the underground chasm. No glitches required or anything! I myself still sometimes like to go out of bounds in the underground chasm because it's kinda interesting to look at lol.)
I remember exploring underground chasm by myself without watching YT videos to get that place to 100% exploration as oppose to other places which I will definitely watch YT videos to 100% exploration. That's how much I love underground chasm...
I remember the first week i started playing, when i first got to liyue i was SO amazed. The bright red, and the architecture, it truly has stuck with me.
Thank you for these great videos! It's so nice to see an appreciation for the overworld, and see people sharing their emotional connection to it. I like the battle mechanics and all, but Genshin has such a gorgeous world design. Sometimes, I just use it as an emotional outlet to hang out and relax. My favorite place for that right now is the boat ride in the Chenyu Vale, with the boatman singing.
The nostalgic place I miss the most is the Golden Apple Archipelago from version 2.8. It's such a bummer it's not available anymore.
Genshin impact scenery is beautiful. One of the best in gaming history.
My favorite location in the game is Watastumi Island. The view when you discover the caved-in island that's not really an island as it is the exit/entry to and from Enkanomiya, and the Watatsumi Skrine with all the corals and shells and the lighting, right after you've crossed islands with the most difficult environment yet feels like you just arrived home for a rest.
I loved watching this so please keep making these!! These were all so nostalgic for me and made me remember so many old memories I had completely forgotten. Dragonspine holds a special place for me because it’s how I randomly met my now best friend. When Dragonspine just came out she joined me on a whim and we ended up exploring all of it together (we were both like AR 25 so it was rough haha) Known her now for 4 years and watching this just makes me thing of how far we and the game have come. Pretty neat!!
@@mirablue745 that's so cute!
honestly felt like i was alone in this. As someone who has basically 100% the exploration, Sumeru in general and chasm was THE BEST exploration wise. (worst being enkanomiya)
The fact that everyone feels the same way about wangshu is so comforting. I saw my friend playing genshin and wasn’t really convinced to play it until i saw her go to wangshu, then I was immediately sold. now 4 years later…
@@johnsblog5397 it's just got that charm
Definitely too early to be part of this list, but the little table at the end of the path that's outside, northwest of Fontaine's main city is definitely going to be a nostalgic place for me. While we don't actually go there in Sigewinne's quest, it's nearby and I'm 1000% sure it's where Sigewinne has those talks with her old mentor. It's surrounded by flowers and there's some bulle fruit on the table. It's so small and seemingly insignificant, but the history behind it makes it special.
when i first got to liyue it was on a crappy phone that could barely run the game, my map took super long time to load so i just walked forward to the harbor with the quest marker and from that path my most nostalgic spot is that little house in a crab shell, i adore that place
@@randomguy-yl2ml lol i love that spot, it's my wishing spot!
After your first video I started to explore more in the game compared to just me playing it for the artifacts and just really building my characters (I've been stuck in the Golden Troupe domain for a month now lmao). I genuinely forgot how pretty the sceneries are in the game not until your video showed up
@@cheesegrater232 that's great! i've been stuck in the fontaine domaine since fontaine dropped lmao... still no half decent Crit dmg circulet....
thanks for this lovely and comfy sequel‼one of my very favorite places in genshin is the heart shaped lake in the Vourukasha Oasis. 💜💚Last year, my QPP and I jokingly got married as Cyno and Al-Haitham at that location (I haven't finished the world quest so I still have the purple and green light beams that look like them.) This year we did it again! My roommate officiated the wedding as Kaveh lol✨(he wasn't released at the time last year).
Another place in the desert I like is that gorgeous room with all the lotus flowers you see when you finish one of the desert world quests. If I remember correctly, it's around the top of the pyramid. It's very unfortunate that you can't return to that area. I had no idea, so I only have a few bad photos 😭
@@leone4304 hahah that sounds like a fun story! glad you enjoyed!
You can return to the top of the pyramid, and that room with the big flowers. Just need to do a bit of walking since the closest teleport is a little far from it.
@@EternaMidnight thank you so much! do you know any videos that show how to get there?
I don't have a computer, so I'm enjoying looking at this video and Genshin looking beautiful...coz it definitely ain't looking like this on my phone 😭
Ayyyy two places that just popped into my mind and that I haven't seen mentioned yet are the beach where the desert meets the sea (Samudra coast, not the one towards Fontaine) where some hilichurls are just chilling out, and the Shogun Palace with its gardens and the balconies you can climb up to.
The desert beach is close to the map's edge and has nothing really going on, so I think most people won't go there regularly, but I think it's just a nice spot to breath, to look at a beautiful sunset over a sea that leads to yet unknown shores and to remember the desert that's now behind you.
Gosh these video's are so LOVELY. watching you explore these places where i don't come back to really makes me want to run around Genshins world again. I haven't touched some places perhaps in years and the world is TOO gorgeous to not visit it again.
Also one of my favorite places to visit which i mentioned in my last comment, are the temples all the way down in the Liyue Lisha region at the Qingxu Pool. For some reason back in 1.0 and 1.1 i helped almost all my buddies collect the chests and clear the challenges there so i became a tourguide of some sorts of that area because i helped so many. The area also felt so different than it does now since it is now connected to the chasm. Back then it used to be the far bottom corner of the map and it felt like standing on the edge of a cliff. I still love that place.
@@PinkC0bra glad you enjoyed! i love hearing about people's unique stories about why they love certain places :)
I'm surprised that you didn't brought up anything from watatsumi do I need to say more then just look at it
Also seirai island vortex looks amazing without fog
Would be interesting to see your reaction of exploring under the map possibly a video idea
It's super fun to see teyvat from different angels
@@dan2800 always an option for a future video! lol
i have some pretty shit memory, but some of my best and most random genshin memories that aren't like first week stuff is exploring the peak of dragonspine and aboveground inazuma. I remember playing it on my ps and my mom saying to go explore the big snowy mountain because it looked cool, and i remember getting to sumeru city for the first time and seeing the big rock formations and seeing the red on the map and being so scared of the chasm... also i remember running around with chongyun in the chasm a lot and for some reason that's a really fond memory and one of the reasons why i love him so much.
@@someoneshiny chongyun enthusiasts unite!!
Just wanted to say that both your videos were amazing to watch and filled me with such nostalgia, I started playing around 2.3 and have been pretty much playing every day since and so it’s really nice to reflect over the places that formed those memories and why it made me play the game.
It’s great to hear someone else’s insight and experience of a game you’ve loved so much so that’s why I really enjoyed the videos, this might motivate me to clear up my backlog of world and story quests I’ve left for too long…
One of my favourite places which I feel gets forgotten is under tunigi hollow where at the end of the quest we found the literal gate to khanriah, like to me that’s the coolest thing ever and when you climb your way to the entrance there’s a lone flower sitting at the door and you get an achievement “abandon all hope, ye who enter here” which just sends chills even now.
But yeah great video, I’m so excited to see what happens to genshin over the next few years as we finally see the final regions and then we can feel even more nostalgia…
@@declanmcauliffe7690 glad you enjoyed! the big door is a great pick!
I think this is what Genshin is supposed to be. In light of all the terrible things thats been happening with the game for the longest, it is fundamentally a journey and experience only we can remember. Years down the line we'll look back on it whether it was a good experience or a bad one and thats all it takes. Its like what Zhongli said. We're a witness.
amazing series so far, the sunken area on the outside of yashiori island, and waterfalls in the stormbearer mountains are some of favorite locations
dragonspine nail!!! i don't remember if it was in the previous video but i really love the super high up areas in dragonspine
You should also make a video about forgotten soundtracks from the game! The music is so good and needs to be talked about.
idk I’ve been wandering fontaine recently and been feeling really nostalgic about it cause it feels like it’s a complete nation to me and I feel like I’m already in that mindset to move on to the next region already.
also for an idea of a location we forgot about there’s a cave on watatsumi island with a hidden entrance and a locked door at one point that’s super hard to find so look it up somewhere. also there’s that one fishing location in enkanomiya that’s so pretty but probably never used, it’s the one at the start where you first drop in
i love that you appreciate the atmosphere and beauty of genshins map
I actually got to sumeru through that tunnel in the chasm for the first time, since i read somewhere in the game that the chasm was connected to sumeru and i figured that'd be the place lol
this is exactly the type of chill genshin content I wanna see, keep it up! love ur vids :D
@@bbingsulei thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!
This is great! I just watched this video and your previous one and I also never realized how nostalgic some of these places could make me feel, but as you were showing the clips, playing the music and explaining all of it I definitely remembered some of my fondest early game memories...
As you explained how you went over the top cliff between Mondstadt and Liyue and missed the road and then felt like you missed out when you came back, I actually had the opposite experience! The top side of that cliff was one of the last areas I explored in Liyue. I think I got to it from Dragonspine but as you see Mondstadt on one side and then Wnagshu Inn on the other, walk around and see both dandelions and chili peppers on that area, stand on Mondstadt-esque rock while Liyue music plays in the background, I felt really amazed how the devs created such a beautiful transition area between the two regions.
Another place that holds a lot of nostalgia for me is Azhdaha's tree in Liyue. I remember the creepy little girl NPC hanging around there and people making theories about what's going to happen with her, and then we got Zhongli's story quest which is still probably my favourite story quest in the game, actually incorporating the NPC, giving us one of the heaviest stories in the game at the time with the whole "corrosion" and the price for Zhongli's long life, and recontextualizing the whole area which has been there since the beginning... It is also nostalgic for me because I remember my Genshin friend group really struggling to defeat the Azhdaha weekly boss at the time because he was just the tankiest enemy in the whole game, and our process of slowly becomig better and better, and finally upgrading to defeating him with a full team of children as Sayu was first released and we were finally able to play 4 child characters at a time lol.
Ahh, someone finally acknowledges CRAB ISLAND. ThE BEST PLACE TO FARM CRABS.
One of my favorite spots to return to is the top of the Dragonspine Nail. It's the highest standable point in the map, and at some point I think there's been a little change!
As you may know, Dragonspine is covered with an environmental effect that inflicts sheer cold, and is relieved with certain sources of heat that may require Pyro to start up. I used to make a habit of going to the top of the Nail, cranking my settings up as high as possible, and seeing the landmarks from other areas, but I remember being limited by the Sheer Cold I could withstand. But now, the very top of the nail doesn't have that effect! You can just stay up there.
Fun fact: Hoyo uses tall, easily recognizeable landmarks, like Dragonspine, Wangshuu Inn, the Jade Palace, the Sakura Shrine, Sumeru City, the Desert Pyramids and many others to help orient players! The technique was honed by the Disney parks, using interesting landmarks and silhouettes to entice people further in. This was also refined in Breath of the Wild, using these landmarks to pull people towards a route, and then distract them with something new. And the best part? These landmarks are called Weenies. Genshin is Full of Weenies! Go to the top of the Sumeru Akademiya and you can see a Weenie from almost every area!
I remember on the first day of the game's release when I saw the unnamed island from the distance and decided to try and build an ice bridge towards it with Kaeya.
I don't remember the last time I even thought about using an ice bridge as I tend to just glide or climb over everything these days.
Also it appears that I have a weak spot for "sub-areas" like Dragonspine (my favorite place to walk around from time to time and take photos), Tsurumi Island, Enkanomiya, the Chasm and now Chenyu Vale. Except for the whole desert part of Sumeru that is still not even 30% explored. Deserts are hit or a miss in open-world games for me and I just didn't like this one enough. The Abyss details were cool tho and I definitely like to go to the crystal-like spikes and look at the starry hole.
Honestly went thru the little road to liyue bc i wanted to get that freeing feelinng of exploration and when I saw wangshu inn the sun was setting my jaw dropped.
hi! really love your nostalgic tours videos!
this is super random, but i messaged you about a sponsorship on tumblr. i don't know if there's a better way to get in touch lmao
The big Khaenri'ah door in the Sumeru desert underground was probably one of my favourite places in the game
All these places are still familiar to me, never forgotten. Maybe I just run around the world too much or help newer players in Mondstadt and Liyue often that I still feel like I see lots of these places all the time, and enjoy doing so. 😊
I was a bit odd because I didn't know about that entrance to Liyue, or the way that most people went... I decided to cross the entirety of Dragonspine. I didn't even do the quests, I just tried to climb straight through.
The Vourukasha oasis is definitely mtly favourite.
Even the music changes after the quest, it's very charming
this video makes me so happy 😭😭 thank you
Random but I love that you named your wanderer Wren, it feels like the perfect name and I’m stealing it lol. I had named him Arata but it just doesn’t feel quite right and I’ve been looking for a new name for like a year. So thanks!
my favorite place is the highest point in minlin you do the 3 crane puzzle on each peak and unlock the top you unlock 3 chests and an achievement and you can see parts of every area
@@celebisme2114 that's for sure a classic spot
Genuenly thank you for the great videos. First part that suddenly appeared in my recomendations the other day rely moved me to instal Genshin yet again after almost half a year of abcense. This video is wonderful too. Special thanks for Dragonspine and Chasm because it's my number one and two most favorite locals in all of Genshin.
@@user-rs6zu9xs1i that's awesome! i'm glad you enjoyed :)
theres a nail in sumeru, its in the hadramaveth desert. deshret used it to make the oaisis
also when you go to the first time in port ormos and the music hits that spot like wowww cant believe it was 2 years ago
Thank you for these videos they make me so happy, and reminds me of things I had completely forgotten, thank you!! Please keep making more!!
@@Melsand01 glad you enjoyed!
I love your vids so much omg
Another great video. This kind of content is so wholesome and necessary after doing tons of farming and exploring. It makes you feel that first time discovering something new excitment. Keep up the good work❤
@@lisacederstrand7697 thanks so much! glad you enjoyed :)
i had no idea u could climb up that green area in the chasm and get to sumeru 😭😭 im always learning smth new about this game despite having 100% exploration on almost the whole map...
yayy i love this style of video and ur tone of showing off these beautiful places !!
@@evermoonn glad you enjoy!
thank you for a second video, i loved the first one!!! i really really do love genshin; i started playing it because of peer pressure (lol) in Feb 2022, and most of my friends don't really play it anymore but i'm still logging in daily :') it helped me through some bad times - when I entered Teyvat, it seemed like an escape from reality, with the bright colors and the music and the freedom to go anywhere and do anything. i'm in a better place now, but to this day, it remains my comfort game, and i hope that i'll be playing it all the way to khaenriah, or until servers shut down.
i mentioned the pathway to Liyue City in the first video's comment section, so i thought i'd add another - the archon statue in Mondstadt. i didn't even know you could sit in its hands after Venti's SQ, and i think the emotional impact of the quest on top of the view you get across Mondstadt left such a strong impression on me that i remember it to this day. plus it seems so peaceful, with the sun shining and a light breeze; it's like time has stopped for that moment and everything will be okay.
wherever you go, whatever life throws at you… In Teyvat, the stars in the sky will always have a place for you.
I went into dragonspine super underleveled, with just Aether, Amber, Lisa, and Kaeya. I never even pulled on a banner until Raiden Shogun, so my first new character besides Xiangling or Barbara was Aloy. I completed most of Dragonspine at that time and also fought my first Ruin Guard there. Absolute peak of genshin, it was so much fun
I also traveled to Liyue by going through Dragonspine before even finishing the Mondstat archon quest. So it was kinda underwhelming going to Liyue for after beating Dvalin since I could just teleport there. I never even knew about that road between Mondstat and Liyue until way later when a quest made me collect jueyun chilis from over there, I don’t remember which quest it was though
i've stopped playing genshin for a while now. your videos brought back so many memories not only of the game, but also my life when those specific areas were realeased. it hasn't been that long, but coming home after a long day, logging into genshin in the evening and explore a new region/area feels so nostalgic. i would kill to experience that again. but now i think the game has lost a bit of that magic, mostly because the music isn't as good as the first three regions, and hoyo went mad with the unnecessary dialogue and bloated quests. i just wish the game was more "humble" like in the earlier days..
For the question about the tunnel yes I got to sumeru from the tunnel for my first visit.
I also didn’t look it up I just wanted to go high up.
Great series i am a new player who recently completed an area you highlight i had thought wow i hope i remember to come back again, as it is such a story specific location so i am also cautious to see what is content added early in the games development and what is new new as without you i would have no clue
@@atha1ia454 glad to be of help!
the little island on the edge of the desert lol
4:22 there's another weapon that you can grab that's fully modeled ! Funny enough, it's another physical bonus claymore. It's the 3* Skyrider greatsword, stuck in stone in Guyun stone forest ! Just next to where the three abyss mages hang out on top of the Petra domain.
remember being really itrigued by the quest this island is attached to, it was one of the first non archon quest i actually did.
i was not leveled for dragonspine and struggled so much at first, then i leveled some characters and learn about talents and stuff, i felt so great getting to the nail and then i found out about about the sword and i had to get it. even though its not great on chongyun i still have it on him
i went through dragonspine XD like a crazy person but i love the road from dawn winery to liyue, i saw wangshu inn and omg i was so glad to finally be back in civilisation XD
loved zhongli's story quests they were well written for early game stories, then standing on the peek just such a good ending.
the thunder manifstation area on serrai is soo pretty it had a lot of meaning for me cause id just finished the Tsurumi Island quest line and that was a sad but good quest. the cat shrine is kinda really peacfull place to just idle at.
the view is beautiful from the peek on the chasm, you can see across liyue of one side and into sumeru on the other, most of my exploration in the chasm was from the quests there chasm splunkers and perilous trail so it has a special place in my heart.
the Palace of Alcazarzaray is beautiful, the way it compliments and blends into the surroundings, kaveh is one of my favourte sumeru characters and i feel so bless i got him C3 on release, vanarara and most of the locations in the aranara quest were beautiful, the runi golems made me motion sick caused of the angles with the camera, the temples are so differnet theres a sense of grandure and a meloncolic atmosprear like were walking into places that had meaning but have been long forgotten by time in the world itself.
you can see the tree from almost everywhere in the upper desert and some parts of fontaine and the area itself has a magical feel.
there are some places i like to go revisit just because the views are beautiful, the top of juyan kurst looking out over the mists and seeing just the peeks of the rocks, azhdahas little area and the tree, then theres a rock on a small mountain in liyue that you can sit on and it has a beautiful view of dragonspine, wangshu inn, stone harbour and just in the distance you can see a glimps of the liyue harbour and the lights, i have many a screen shot from there especially at sunrise and sunset. sumeru the sandstorm its massive and the swirling effect form the sand is really pretty, the view from the very top of the divine tree in sumeru.
I actually got to Liyue through Dragonspine the first time. I think I was doing the begginings of the Dragonspine quest when I got waylaid by a band of overleveled Fatui, and ended up by the Liyue weapon mat domain in the east, so I got that statue of the seven, and went exploring. I got to Stone Gate from Liyue’s side.
Also, the sanctuary of surasthana! .... It is so calm and peaceful and ... safe/cozy feeling? I know it's creepy to many but to me it's very calming and I haven't had reason to return there in way too long ....
@@wednes3day good pick!
