Genshin Impact‘s 2.4 Special Program Livestream showcased a brand-new location: The Depths of Enkanomiya, located at the heart of the Watatsumi Islands in Inazuma.
While most of version 2.4 will be focused on the Lantern Rite Event over at Liyue, a portion of it will bring players back to Inazuma. Players who started “The Moon-Bathed Deep” Quest Line and paid attention to the dialogue would know already what awaits them in this new location. In this quest, a shrine maiden would share the legend of Enkanomiya, on how Watatsumi Island's forebears used to live under the sea. Apparently, these “sea-people” from the depths still live in Enkanomiya, and we'll have the opportunity to meet them in Genshin Impact 2.4.
Players will meet new foes in the depths, the Pyro Abyss Lector and the Bathysmal Vishaps. They will be fought mostly in darkness, as Enkanomiya is perennially covered in darkness, due to the sun not reaching them. Hence, the new location will not feature a day-night cycle like all of the other places we've visited in Teyvat thus far. Because of their isolated nature, the inhabitants of Enkanomiya are one of a kind. They have their own unique customs and rituals, which we're looking forward to exploring in Genshin Impact version 2.4.
Now, to visit this new location, players will have to have completed the aforementioned Quest Line. If you still haven't, you could trigger it by talking to the Shrine Maiden named Tsuyuko. You can find her North of the Muoon Shrine. Players should also have completed the related Archon Quests in Inazuma before they could proceed. An Adventure Rank of at least 30 is also required.
