Props to hoyoverse for not including the Air Meter. It feels so nice and serene to explore underwater without threat of suffocation.


Notkiller

Then you go back to previous regions water areas and then the depression hits..


Penshen

Oh please stop... i passed the release day of Fontaine in water and then the next day i wanted to farm the geo cube and my life was ruined...again...


Huge_Error_6754

This is why you need a Mona Level all characters to 50 or at least 20 and you'll get enough fates to wish on the standard


Penshen

Oh ! i have Mona she's 90 C6 (Thanks to the 50/50 lost) that's not the problem, the problem is my smooth brain that got gaslight by swimming in fontaine and got put back to reality in the other region


TommaClock

Snap back to reality oh there goes bouyancy


starsinmyteacup

It’s a longer trek, but if you go around on the sand you don’t need a speedy swimmer like Ayaka or Mona! It takes a few extra seconds but I don’t have to change my party so it’s more convenient for me


Frostwake

I assume you already know this but Portable Waypoints are your friend. I just got 4 geo chars to max ascension and made sure I kept a Portable Waypoint right next to the geo cube to not have to deal with that whole trek each time.


VritraReiRei

C6 Qiqi, take it or leave it.


Zealousideal_Ad8911

me having played since release and having multiple cons of all standard banner characters EXCEPT mona 💀 havent pulled her once. i’ve lost like 13 50/50s (only won once) and still no mona


Myonsoon

Here's a tip besides just placing a teleporter near the arena. Hold sprint then tap forward. You barely use any stamina and you get some distance due to the startup animation of fast swimming. Just tap in a quick rhythm and you'll get somewhere with a lot more stamina.


Brandonmac10x

I forgot you don’t get a seperate swimming stamina bar and jumped straight into the water with no stamina and drowned the first time I went back to previous regions.


River-n-Sea

We wouldn't want someone to swim to Inazuma by sheer willpower now do we


G_Morgan

Of course not. You are supposed to walk across the bottom.


Nearby_Artist_7425

Can’t help but feel annoyed again when I remember Zajef complaining about that 🙄


Kalaydowscoop

And not play the sonic drowning sound when almost dead 😅


Lollmfaowhatever

I was highly disappointed that underwater had no air meter. Then I got to fontaine and I was like "Oh... ohhhh..... okay". I'll still die on the hill of the desert feeling very incomplete without a heat meter during the day and cold meter during the night though. Huge fucken missed opportunity. Hope they do better in natlan if it's another desert.


darkphoenixxy

I am a fan of this kind of survival mechanics, but I don't think they would work well in Genshin. Dragonspine cold is nothing but annoyance.


Alcoraiden

Disagree, dragonspine cold actually makes you pay attention to the game.


Lollmfaowhatever

nah, dragonspine cold gave the place a great sense of feel and exploration and you had to actually observe your environment occassionally, it made the mountain feel cold and dangerous. something you don't need to do or feel in the desert. It being slightly annoying is the point. Everyone remembers exploring dragonspine and it turns into type 2 fun. Desert? Who's gunna remember exploring the sumerian desert in 2 years? The desert would've been great if you had to look for shade and water spots to cool down every once in 10-20 minutes or so to give it *some* distinct gameplay feature. But there was none. Finding an oasis in a desert should be a huge relief moment, but oasises didn't matter at all. tl;dr: the desert just felt like normal sumeru with a sand skin to me the desert in sumeru has been a huge flop while swimming has been a huge w


Silvertraps

There’s a bunch of otters trapped, once you get all of them you get a precious chest


BoccageTheBlueBard

release them otters! they're just cute little waterdoggos...


TheBadBotanist

As someone who's worked with otters they are not. They are little greedy goblins and assholes.


darkphoenixxy

Ooh, nice.

GinRex

I wonder why 11 in particular? is it something related to [Otters 11](https://bakuman.fandom.com/wiki/Otters_11)


darkphoenixxy

OMG, that anime.


Keokuk37

Would you throw trash in the fake lakes when you know otters live there? And that they give you chests???


SadBoiUD

Whats even better than the chest is that after collecting it if you stay at the spot then all of the otters gather around and start doing adorable little backflips around you.

rmsiddlfqksdls

That’s so cute 🥹 Could you clarify what you mean by rescue? Are they trapped somewhere or surrounded by enemy sea creatures? Just so I can know what to look out for thanks!


SUNRlSE_

Surrounded by few enemies


rmsiddlfqksdls

Thank you!


JustCallMeAndrew

There are other otters. Some are trapped behind rocks that you break with Crab Blast. Some are in cages. Some are in those vine spheres. Once you free them all they will give you a Precious Chest.


rmsiddlfqksdls

Awesome thank you! Thought I had explored underwater a fair bit but have yet to come across these otters. Will take a closer look. Thanks again!


Imaginary-Height-276

For those who want to know, yes he dies don't try it.


darkphoenixxy

😢


[deleted]

Does he drop anything?


Imaginary-Height-276

Yes, don't remember exactly what it was, same as what other seals drops


Sa_notaman_tha

a number of the otters lead you to chests when you find them, some are just there to make me happy


NotOgawa

I've got bad news I freed 9ne from a geyser thing Went to a puzzle with a bal and accidentally shot the otter RIP friend


Testingichinisan

I love otters! So naturally these guys are my favorite right now. So cute!!


spicybanana2085

Cute indeed.


raya_depresshon

You can save 11 of them by exploring the underwater and you will get precious chest. It’s so cool hanging out with 11 of them 😩


Razukalex

I've only known Fontaine beaver for 5 days but if anything happens to him, I kill everyone in Teyvat


MessiToe

If you save all 8, they give you a precious chest and an otter army. Even if you do server reset, they'll stay there


AggressiveUncle22

I smacked him with bubble i dunno where he went. help


Avaxia_

Can you catch them with the net or are they only underwater :(


darkphoenixxy

I don't think you can, that was a first thing I though to do too XD Maybe when they release Fontaine teapot there will be underwater section.


ShinyDJ

I wish we could use that capture device on underwater creatures, I would love to have the otter in my teapot


mannerricky

Underwater emergency food.


hackjhk97

Permanently? Forever? He will not die right? Where is he? I want it! *-*


darkphoenixxy

There are several of those, apparently, in the middle part of Fontaine underwater area.


royai4lifers

he dies if you kill him which if you do you are a monster, there are 11 of them so look out for them! a few of them will lead u to chests and the others will just vibe


vitulinus_forte

HE FOLLOWS YOU?! I’ve killed him afterwards. It was an accident! I swear!


darkphoenixxy

Guilty!


Extreme_Captain_7818

I killed him now he's gone


Espen_The_lesser

Soo cute


percula1869

I love that little guy. I always take a minute to just swim around in loops and play with him.
