The two new islands in Inazuma

What makes the new islands out? The fourth of the six main islands of Inazuma is Watatsumi. She is further away from the other islands, which is why the inhabitants of another culture live as on Narukami. Watatsumi offers a unique landscape. It is also the home of Kokomi and its army of resistive forces whose base perched in the Saganomiya Shrine. This is located in a gorge, surrounded by waterfalls and mountains.

Seirai is the fifth of the islands, which usually dare to dare. On her you will find many abandoned shrines, destroyed villages and withered nature. Around them, a storm is always connected with thunder and flash. Next to the Shiba Inu as a teahouse owner in Inazuma, there will be a black cat, the rulers of a shrine. The appearance of Seirai seems to tell the sad past of this island.

There is also a camera tour over the two islands (Genhin_7 Via Twitter).

The 3 new characters

Which characters are in the banners of patch 2.1? As the Leaks have already predicted, Baal, Sara and Kokomi are added as new playable characters. First, Baal and Sara will be available from September 1st.

That can be the Raiden Shogun, Baal:

• Baal has the Divine Eye Electro
• She is a 5-star character
• As a main weapon she uses a spear. Only their special ability reaches a Katana for a short time
• Official gameplay from Baal (Genshin_7 Via Twitter)

The new weapons banners

Which weapons will give it? The two new 5-star weapons are a lance named Engulfing Lightning and a catalyst called Everlasting Moonglow. Both are the signature weapons of Baal and Kokomi. Engulfing Lightning will appear parallel to the Baal Banner, while Everlasting Moonglow comes out with Kokomi.

New bosses on Watatsumi and Seirai

Which new bosses are there? Still is not clear where exactly the bosses have made the islands comfortably, but we know that there will be three new bosses, what is a weekly opponent.

The first boss is the hydro hypostase, which is located on Watatsumi. You will probably be able to farm kokomis materials. As used by the other hypostases, these several shapes and certain patterns that you can learn to simply defeat them. The second boss house on the island Seirai. Suitable for the weather of Seirai this opponent uses the electrical attribute to attack. He reminds of the Okeanids in Liyue.

Many fans of La Signora will be happy now, because it comes in patch 2.1 as a weekly boss, such as Childe, Dvalin and Co. Just like childe, it has several forms against which you need to compete with a cryo and pyro variant. If you want to see all bosses in action, you can do that on Twitter (by Genhin_7).

The new mechanics: fishing

What is going on? In Genshin Impact, it will give you certain water surfaces from 2.1, which allow you to throw your angel and catch fish. Before you have to make bait, with which you can fishing. You can easily do that at the alchemy table, there are some different bait possibilities.

Furthermore, the process reminds the familiar game Stardew Valley. You have to make sure that your leash does not tear and fit your reaction time. In addition, it is important to choose the right place where you throw your Angel so that you do not scare the fish. This shows the video from Japanese Genshin Impact Account (via Twitter).

What brings fishing? Anyone who thinks now: I just catch a few fish, can prepare dishes and that's it's that's on the wrong steamer. Of course, fish is also needed for some recipes, but you can also exchange prisoners for rewards. What exactly that's exactly, was not revealed. In addition, there are certain places where your fish exchanges against new fishing rods who have other effects to catch more of them.

There are certain fish species called Ornamental Fish. You can put these fish into a special pond in the pot of transience and raise. Furthermore, there will be an event that calls Lunar Realm. There you have the opportunity to catch the Lunar Leviathan, which can meet according to legend wishes. This event also contains many rewards for you.

Other features of patch 2.1

What else is there? It was announced that you can now place more things in the pot of transience without your pot to overload your pot. This only applies to items that are placed in an area and there more than once. Thus, for example, the second wooden chair in the dining room does not take as much load, as the first, the third as little as the second and so on. But you placed the same wooden chair in the living room, so the wooden chairs from the dining room are not included in the load reduction of the living room.
