Although the grand finale of the Natlan story will only take place in update 5.3, several quests in the region await players, among them an Archon Quest Interlude and two new Tribal Chronicles. Meeting new tribes comes with benefits – players will get to make use of their Saurian partners to soar through Natlan’s skies and uncover the secrets of its spirit realm.

Genshin Impact 5.2: story, characters & map

Before Chapter V of the main story reaches its conclusion in version 5.3, Genshin Impact 5.2 will feature the Archon Quest Interlude: All Fires Fuel the Flame. This story deals with the immediate aftermath of the Abyss Order’s recent attack and helps restore Natlan’s fighting spirit. Iansan and The Captain will be featured in this quest.

In addition, the Traveler will be able to visit two new tribes and experience their respective Tribal Chronicles Quests – we’ll meet the Flower-Feather Clan and the Masters of the Night-Wind.

Chasca and Ororon, two members of these tribes, will be available on the Genshin Impact 5.2 banners as new playable characters – and we’ll get access to new Saurians as well. The flying Qucusaurs will be an excellent choice for quick transport anywhere in Natlan, while Iktomisaurs can uncover hidden secrets and solve mysterious puzzles thanks to their spirit vision.

That’s not all, though: The story of our Tepetlisaur friend, Little One, continues in a new area of Natlan – the City of Flowing Ash, Ochkanatlan. This ruined city has been heavily corrupted by the Abyss and is guarded by a fierce dragon. What secrets and treasures may lie within? The newly explorable areas feature a new world boss as well, the Tenebrous Papilla. It can take on the shape of other enemy types and will be an unpredictable foe to deal with.

Genshin Impact 5.2: features & changes

HoYoverse previously announced upcoming changes to Genshin Impact 5.2, including damage buffs to several elemental reactions in the game, which could have great impact on the meta. In addition, several quality-of-life improvements are coming to the Serenitea Pot and artifacts.

A new Genius Invokation TCG update will not only bring the Automatic Artistry event mode to the game, but also new character cards. Rosaria, Sigewinna, and the Golden Wolflord will become available to unlock.
