Do you go to Inazuma after Dainsleif? A fellow gamer‘s guide to unlocking this magical new realm

Hey friend! If you‘re a Genshin Impact fan like me, you‘ve been eagerly awaiting the chance to explore the Japan-inspired islands of Inazuma. This brand new realm introduces the shadowy Electro archon Raiden Shogun, flashy new characters like Ayaka and Kazuha, and an entire archipelago of challenges to test your skills. But how do you actually access Inazuma in the first place? From one gamer to another, let me walk you through it.

PREREQUISITES: Adventure Rank and Quest Progression

To enter Inazuma, you first need to reach Adventure Rank 30. This takes around 25-30 hours for most players. Prioritize Archon Quests and spend your resin daily to gain AR exp faster.

You also need to finish the prerequisite Archon Quest “Chapter II: Act 1 – The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia.” This requires completing the World Quest “Bough Keeper: Dainsleif” involving the mysterious bard Dainsleif.

• Here are the steps:
  • Complete Razor’s Story Quest “Lupus Minor”
  • Unlock and finish “Bough Keeper: Dainsleif” (AR 30)
  • Finish “We Will Be Reunited” to confront the Abyss Herald

Once you’ve checked these three items off, you‘ll gain access to Inazuma!

INAZUMA DEEP DIVE: New Characters, Puzzles, Enemies & More

Inazuma draws heavily from Japanese myth, history and culture. The islands are inspired by real Japanese locations like Narukami shrine and Mount Yougou.

You‘ll discover dazzling Shinto shrines, samurai enemies, and ornate Japanese architecture. The lore explores concepts like Eternity, visions, and the Emperor‘s divine rule.

Let‘s break down everything that makes Inazuma such an amazing new realm for you to uncover:

Electrifying New Characters

• Raiden Shogun – The almighty Electro archon and divine ruler of Inazuma. She wields a powerful polearm and Electro magic.
• Kamisato Ayaka – An elegant cryo sword-user and daughter of the Kamisato clan. One of the most anticipated 5-stars!
• Kazuha – A wandering samurai and anime-style swordsman who can pull off swirling wind slashes.

And many more like Gorou, Sara, and the mysterious Scaramouche.

Perilous New Enemies

Get ready to battle the Shogun‘s fierce army, including:

• Specters – Ghostly Electro spirits
• Samurai – Heavily armored melee fighters
• Nobushi – Teleporting sharpshooters

Complex Electro Puzzles

Inazuma‘s new island puzzles require you to master Electro abilities like:

These provide a terrific challenge for veterans bored of stale puzzle types.
