Genshin Impact 2.1 is fast approaching, and now we know that two new islands will be added to the Inazuma map. As with the other islands in the region, these have their own unique environments.
The island of Seirai has areas with a high concentration of electrical energy. This area is also prone to major thunderstorms.
On the contrary, the island of Watatsumi is a place where you will discover great waterfalls.
- Seirai Island is located to the south of Narukami Island.
- Watatsumi Island is located to the west of Yashiori Island.
Genshin Impact 2.1: New Materials
Unagi
The unagi is an amphibian whose peculiarity is to absorb the heat of the sandbanks.
It provides delicious meat, and is a very popular ingredient among the people of Inazuma.
Sango Pearl
These pearls grow in the coral of Watatsumi, and are quite valuable.
It is very likely that these pearls are used for the upgrading a certain character coming in this update.
Amakumo Fruit
The third addition is a fruit that comes from the island of Seirai.
This fruit has the peculiarity of containing electrical energy, and when you put it against your ear, you will hear the crackling of electrical current.
Genshin Impact 2.1: New Gameplay Mechanics
Phase Gate
These doors allow you to cross long distances, but be careful -- you have to know how to master elemental energy first.
These doors can be seen as teleporters that will need to orient themselves in order to change their state.
They can be found on the islands of Seirai and Watatsumi.
Electric Lamps
These ancient stone lamps can be found on Watatsumi Island. Get close to them, and they'll light up in proximity to Electrograna.
Be mindful that some lamps need to be lit in a certain order.
"Mysterious Pillars"
On Watastumi Island, you will find pillars that you can interact with. These can change the state of surrounding mechanisms and objects.
Genshin Impact 2.1: New Monsters
These are the powerful new enemies that await you.
Hydro Hypostasis
The Hypostasis family expands with the arrival of the water-based version of this creature, found on Watastumi Island.
When its life is low, it splits into three water droplets that are directed towards its core. Destroy these three summons to prevent it from regenerating.
Thunder Manifestation
Thunder rumbles over Seirai Island with this new boss.
An elemental life form that resembles an Oceanid, it has neither its wisdom nor its memory.
As expected, this monster will use the Electro element to attack you.
Specter
These are creatures born from a high concentration of the elements.
When a strong attack hits one, its fury increases. When that fury is at its peak, the monster swells up and becomes more powerful. It then explodes violently when defeated.
