A journey through the desert – PlayStation.Blog

Hello Travelers! This is the Genshin Impact development team. Today I’d like to show you more about other parts of Sumeru arriving on September 28th with version 3.1 “King Dashlet and the Three Wise Men”. Travel through the rainforest and into the stunning desert. Here, we uncover the legend of King Dashlet and clues from his sand-buried past. Additionally, three Sumeru characters Candace, Saino, and Nirou join the cast of playable characters.

Far away from the sweltering heat comes the celebration of Mondstadt’s Weinreserfest with a crisp autumn breeze. There are even more events, mini-games and rich rewards.

Realms of Death, Mystery and Technology

Unlike the lush tropical rainforest, the Semeru desert looks desolate and barren. In the center of the desert is the huge mausoleum of King Dashlet. King Dashlet and his ancient civilization have perished, but his legends and technology are still narrated by the Desertfolk, as well as the mechanisms and robots that guard his haven.

Beneath the scorching sands lie dozens of dungeons that challenge intruders with unseen puzzles, mechanisms, and robotic guardians loaded with the ancient technology of the King Deshret. The algorithm of the Overseer Network’s semi-atemporal matrix is ​​the most dangerous of all, as it has the ability to become invisible during combat. Another new boss enemy, Ion Bright and his Drake, is also a powerful mechanical monster found in the rainforest.

While not as lifeless and desolate as it first appeared, the desert landscape reveals an astonishing variety of terrain and creatures. Sand dunes, Grand Canyons and oases amid harsh arid conditions, sumpter beasts, desert foxes, quicksand eels, red vultures, scorpions, scarabs and other creatures all call this region home. Aal Village, on the other hand, is the largest settlement and fortified fortress of the desert people. Many scholars exiled from academia have also been welcomed into the village, making it a gathering place for people from all walks of life and valuable intelligence.

Sumeru’s Archon Quest stretches the landscape into the desert. While the Traveler was busy making deals with Academia, two of Fatui’s harbingers, Ildotre and Scaramouche, were plotting in the Land of Wisdom.

In combat, Nilou favors the power of swords and hydro, and her elegant dance technique is also reflected in her attack patterns.With her elemental skills, Nilou can perform two different dances with her moves, Sword Dance and You can perform Whirling Steps, each with different effects and damage. She can buff her teammates even more when she is the only two elements available on the team, Dendro and Hydro.

A more immersive desert adventure

To better simulate realistic trails on sand, we are implementing a new feature, Dynamic Terrain Deformation. When a character or creature steps on the desert, the sand under their feet sinks and some of the sand collects around their footprints, creating a slight bump. Quicksand trails vary for different target sizes and movements.
