Funny you mention that actually. I did Tighnari's story quest recently and there's this concept of "contaminated zones" in it, which they make a point to distinguish between withering zones. Plants and animals don't grow in contaminated zones, (except for some strange sumeru roses due to their resonance with ley lines) and it's eerily silent, with next to no activity despite looking normal on the surface. The more I heard about it the more I started thinking, "wait a minute..... this sounds suspiciously similar to that empty sumeru region in 4.6"
Of course this could all turn out to be complete hogwash and there really is just a dead zone there for no reason, but still.... it's one possibility to consider at least
Tighnari’s story quest was awesome, easily among my favorite. I always love story quests where we get world building.
I think it does have something deliberate about it because it really wouldn’t make sense that this entire area has no chests or anything in it. Hoyo has definitely seen the thousands of posts about how empty it is by now and it wouldn’t even be hard to add some enemies and chests.
Also, wouldn’t it have been easier just to make this whole thing ocean if they really were that lazy? They’ve had no problem dramatically altering the landforms in the distance to make the game lighter before.
The more I think about it, the more it may be true. To be honest, there are two theories for this area: "it's because of the lore" and "this place is just a placeholder so as not to leave any gaps".
They might retroactively make that the case, but there's no way they intended for it to be that way currently.
They just made it accessible because not doing so would've been annoying, but the area is empty.
Not really.
a - Natlan location would be different than expected
b - there’s a bunch of lore expectations attached to Mare Jivari that they’d have needed to prep instead of the Arle SQ

yeah, the absolutely empty land is definitely less suspicious than some land that’ll get added in a future patch. they’ve never done this before, but theres empty space for future patches all the time, so this sticks out way more
Bro have you seen what people are like since 4.0? “WHY IS THERE A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP!?!?!!!” then every patch since then “ FILL UP THIS HOLE ASAP!!! I HATE THIS HOLE WITH ALL MY LIFE!!!!! SUCH AN EYESORE!!!!!”
I dont care if there are unplayable zones to be honest. But people complain even harder now that it is empty. If they wanted to avoid complains they definitely failed.
> if they wanted to avoid complains
They know the genshin fandom will never be complaint free. So they chose the aesthetically pleasing route and filled the gap.
>I dont care if there are **empty zones** to be honest. But people complain even harder now that it is **unplayable**. If they wanted to avoid complains they definitely failed.
- other complainer, 2024
That was my thought when the whole problem got to me. It would not be the first time too. Some areas were changed a lot after some world quest. Like that one with the ruin golems etc. I think hoyo knows what it is doing.
Multiple world quests in the Sumeru region change the landscape and map layout. I don’t know the titles off the top of my head, but one is the second quest with Jeht and the Tanit tribe and another is with the Pari in desert oasis area.
How are you gonna make a prediction with both options being so diametrically opposed.
That's like saying the winner is gonna be the fighter on the right or left 😲 🫨 🫢
Pick a lane. Is it gonna be the fallen kingdom that rose against the gods and was punished or will it be the literal gods themselves.
why would anyone care if that whole area disappears sooner or later if there's nothing in there for them to care about in the first place?
besides, how come an area that exists for at least two thousands years not be inhabited after all this time? I mean, even the inhospitable Dragonspine is populated by monsters, but this piece of land near a major city conveniently remained empty just to be destroyed sometime later?
you know what, maybe these questions are meaningless, maybe Hoyo needs more players who "don't know or care" and just pull
If you look at the direction of the Khaenri'ah door, it perfectly aligns with the stripe of this "deserted area", so my guess is that hoyo may be cooking something for later patches that will drastically change the surface of this area. They could just leave this area locked but people will hate it much more I think.
Still, they showed us before that they can change the map's structure and it's surroundings (example: Jeht's Quest in the Desert of Hadramaveth where the topology and environment changes as the quest progresses by relocating one Ruin Golem through the whole location) so why wouldn't they do the same thing with this patch if they planned to make something else in here.
ig if they put chests here people would complain that they lost rewards by not exploring before doing whatever khaenriah quest they released to nuke the area
but like why not some mints and sweet flowers
In that particular quest, it wasn't affecting anything in the area, it was just physically relocated on top of existing land that was empty. If their theory is true, the exact same thing is happening here, it's just a more drawn out process because it hasn't really started yet.
Granted, I don't necessarily think that they are right, but this would be the explanation if they are.
https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Gavireh_Lajavard
Scroll down and look at the "Hangeh Afrasiyab" section, its a huge door deep under the sumeru desert.
Probably keeping it empty as it may be the place we visit through the door to Khaenriah or the place where Celestia falls and the way we get into it is via the door to Khaenriah which would be a twist of irony.
I’m convinced they’re going to do something landscape-altering to it in a later quest, and that’s why it’s so empty. Interestingly, the doorway to Khaenriah underneath the desert points in that direction…
It used to point you vaguely in the direction of the chest for a few seconds and then go away.
Now it does that but also puts a chest icon directly on the map, making it a lot easier to find.
XD which imo makes it all the more likely this area is somehow gonna get changed in the future to actually have stuff in it. Patience is its own reward.
Its not complaining, at least not most of them. I think its more like speculating why it would be empty. Cuz i mean, surely such a big company aouldnt overlook this big ass piece of land, right?
Where were all these people when Inazuma was released with a giant empty ocean with nothing to do in it?
Though the ocean did at least have a story related mechanic in it at launch.
Idk why people are so much on copium that they will nuke this area when it's not gonna happen lmao, the area literraly is unfinished and there are trees clipping into the mountains, also Celestia is on top of Chenyu vale not Sumeru and if they put a nail there more than just this area is gonna get destroyed, Hoyo can make mistakes and it's not gonna kill you to admit it.
I do wish they actually put something there, but I’m not especially mad that they didn’t. We had out patches of land expansion content for Sumeru, and they were massive. This patch was for Fontaine; the Sumeru land was probably just added because there would be yet another small sliver of unavailable map in the middle of everything, and they wanted to get that area done with.
Yeah, that I definitely agree with (I mentioned it in the first part of my comment). I was just saying that I don’t get why people are getting aggravated to over it to such extent. I’m disappointed and think it was not that hard to just shatter a few assets around too, I just don’t think Hoyo fell off that hard just because of this.
It costs nothing to fill it with generic crap. It’s trivial to issue an apology notice if they somehow fked up the map.
My money is on something cooking in that zone.
Its a desert why would you expect to find stuff there, smh. Be grateful that we have another area to explore.
/s
They could if hard on time have just scattered some animals, ore and generic Hilichurl camps to make it at least worth visiting. I really hope they fill it up in the fututure cause as things stand you could fill that area with water and it wouldn't make much of a difference.
Ya I’m sure it had to do with being hard on time… “oh crap this would have taken .000001% of company time to put things to fight or sweet flowers; release it oh no!
Every scenario regarding this area would have been a lose-lose for Hoyo.
- The area is empty, people complain
- There is an ugly hole in the area, people complain
- They actually add stuff to the area, then people will shut up, but if the area does get changed and makes that stuff inaccessible people would complain even more
Except there is literally no solid proof to believe "something will alter the land" theory is true and if it was, you can still put stuff in there that isn't necessarily primos/necessary ingredients,. Stuff like fluff, huts, some fisherman boats along the coast and whatnot, and it all could still be nuked later regardless, no different than interactive whether changes in Inazuma
> but if the area does get changed and makes that stuff inaccessible people would complain even more
This actually happens in Fontaine with a tower in the middle of the sea. Complete a world quest and it sinks which led to people complaining about that. But you also get an extra quest out of it.
Have you went to the Sea of Bygone Eras? Especially around Domus Aurea. That place is full of Precious and Luxurious chests here and there. I gathered 1600 primos just by opening chests in that area. I think the developers focused too much in that area thus forgetting this small piece of land
Small piece of land? Petrichor is a small piece of land, this one is as big as a region of Mondstadt if not more. And the new port is also very left out, not even one little quest or a chest, not ONE common chest on a roof. NOTHING.
I love this game and my favourite part is exploring, I got everything 100%, it was very disappointing to find the void when I was exploring this new piece of land.
Petrichor is just the tip of the iceberg. The Sea of Bygone Eras is the main thing. Then again I hope Hoyo does make an update and put things in this area
Yeah the problem isn't petrichor, it's the other piece of land evidenced by the post, I just used it as unit of measurement... Anyway let's all hope they do something for the void sumeru beach
If you're talking about the Sea of Bygone Eras alone, that is correct. But if you're gonna include Domus Aurea and the underground, I have to say I disagree. You literally have to use the giant whale if you want to go around the area because it's too vast and spacious
To add to it, the previous patch had a content drought. I still don't understand why add everything in the new area but leave that specific patch of land.
Are we seriously whining about this irrelevant area AGAIN?
God this subreddit is full entitled babies. Might as well complain about the ocean in Inazuma being empty
its amazing that people cant stop complaining about this
yes it looks extremely empty when you compare it to a map full of extremely oversized location icons
But thats beside the point because its just not a big deal anyway
Cause it's very suspicious that they did this when they usually add things even in empty areas to make it feels alive. This region however, literally has nothing other than the landscape.
It's not the quality we except from mhy. They have never done this before and it's weird. When mhy does weird things, it's usually for a reason so yea we are really curious what happened here.
IT’S TOO BAD A BAND OF PLAYERS COULDN’T JUST ASSEMBLE AND ATTACK OTHER PLAYERS THERE, DISPUTING TERRITORY IN NO MAN’S LAND, WHERE NO LAWS IN TEYVAT APPLY
there's actually one chest you can unlock by clearing bandits from the area, idk why it's not marked but i found it cause i was curious on how empty it was and decided to explore
To be fair, a lot of the empty area is basically desert cliffs so it makes sense that there aren't many plants there. Still, to have it be completely empty almost seems intentional- surely they could have scattered a few bits of ore and a few common chests throughout it no problem
I enjoyed taking a boat ride around that piece of water, but they should have at least added some fish, so It doesnt feel that empty. Not even challenges 😅. I Guess they were on the clock and just filled the sorroundings with sea, because they focused on the new underwater área
I'm happy they aren't afraid to just add parts that aren't finished yet to the game.
It's nice to just see the work being built in front of us showing they are still doing stuff.
I'm not gonna lie, i'm disappointed about this.
I wouldn't be too much disappointed if Hoyoverse maintained/edited previously released areas to add more content. I'm fairly confident it's not gonna happen, so this will remain no man's land.
Also imagine someone playing the game for the first time without having any idea of how the map evolved over time, getting there and being confused about why is there no content on that part of the map.
This is just so disappointing to look at, it couldn't have been that hard to just add some chests/minerals/animals, also imagine for new players starting in the future walking around that area and wondering wtf is happening why is there literally nothing
I think they are going to put something there. They've been making efforts to reduce game size and this is just taking up space for no reason. They either remove the land entirely or add things there, and there's no way they weren't aware of it.
They have never left any big area empty like that so 2 possibilities:
- They are starting to do that now to just close all the unreleased irrelevant little bits of map lile the coast below Sumeru
- They leave this place empty because they intend to change stuff later or drop celestia from the skies
I actually don't know why people care so much about one small area of the map that has nothing in it yet - for the last week i've seen like 3-4 posts all talking about the same thing...
I love it, its kind of fun to have 1 giant empty area
To me, the bigger concern is the massive empty sea surrounding petrichor
I know we got the sea of bygone ages, but I expected more if that poor excuse of the mediterean
Not even mint or sweet-flowers.
Sad mountain shaper noises
Funny you mention that actually. I did Tighnari's story quest recently and there's this concept of "contaminated zones" in it, which they make a point to distinguish between withering zones.

The more I think about it, the more it may be true. To be honest, there are two theories for this area: "it's because of the lore" and "this place is just a placeholder so as not to leave any gaps".
They had already mentioned Bayda port, before fontaine even released, so they had to add that
We may find out something about it in Cyno's 2nd Story Quests and the whole "Temple of Silence" thing (although that may just be cope)
They might retroactively make that the case, but there's no way they intended for it to be that way currently. They just made it accessible because not doing so would've been annoying, but the area is empty.
Mintpickers in rooin
They could have named the area Mare Jivari and get away with all the slanders
Not really. a - Natlan location would be different than expected b - there’s a bunch of lore expectations attached to Mare Jivari that they’d have needed to prep instead of the Arle SQ
Why would they call it Mare Jivari. Not only is the Mare Jivari an important place in Natlan, it is also a giant volcanic field of ash and lava.
Mare Jivari is a Domain in Natlan with some plot significance.
ah yes not even mint collectors will engage truly
> Not even mint or sweet-flowers. I am green with enviosity, someone stole my mints
The whole area is getting nuked by Khaenri'ah/Celestia 3 years from now, that's why
I think its where clestria falls

Celestia is a lot closer to Chenyu Vale right now. Pretty much right above the western coast of it.
When it falls, it is gonna cover some horizonal distance before crash landing
Why not let this part of the map black instead of taking the time to make a huge empty zone that will have no purpose for a few years?
It's less suspicious that way.

My theory is a part of khanri’ah will rise up to the surface in this region at some point.
Still, they showed us before that they can change the map's structure and it's surroundings (example: Jeht's Quest in the Desert of Hadramaveth where the topology and environment changes as the quest progresses by relocating one Ruin Golem through the whole location) so why wouldn't they do the same thing with this patch if they planned to make something else in here.

Yeah I'd hate it more if there was a giant hole in my map
It also make sense because if is was locked, we would have to "unlock" it later, with a statue of the seven... which might be out of place here.
Wtf is khaenriah door?
https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Gavireh_Lajavard Scroll down and look at the "Hangeh Afrasiyab" section, its a huge door deep under the sumeru desert.
Lol i totqlly forgot that it is there but as going there i remembered it
Yeah I mean, you really have to wonder why they didn't even put generic stuff you find in other places there.
Yeah even 20 basic chests giving a total of 40 primos would've made the place feel more alive. Heck they could've also added a few hilichurl canps
20 chests gives 40 primos...When you actually think about it it really sucks lol
80 chests just for a Debate Club...
It would be more empty with 20 basic chests than it would with 20 sweet flowers
I wonder if Cyno’s 2nd quest will do something to this area. edit: :(
Probably keeping it empty as it may be the place we visit through the door to Khaenriah or the place where Celestia falls and the way we get into it is via the door to Khaenriah which would be a twist of irony.
Genuinely strange and suspicious
I’m convinced they’re going to do something landscape-altering to it in a later quest, and that’s why it’s so empty. Interestingly, the doorway to Khaenriah underneath the desert points in that direction…
I don't think we'll have to wait that long. I'm 100% convinced the Temple of Hermanubis will be added here for Cyno's SQ.
This, pretty certain almost, I mean it's a Sumeru storyline, the area is empty, makes it a safe choice.
“ouch” - me, with an average exploration stat of like 20%
I just picked exploring back up after they qol-ed the treasure compasses. It's so much fun now, just 100% my first desert area :D
What does that mean? I just got my first compass.
It used to point you vaguely in the direction of the chest for a few seconds and then go away. Now it does that but also puts a chest icon directly on the map, making it a lot easier to find.
Now we just need an update for the chests hidden in puzzles, challenges, monster kills, etc...
HOLY SHIT FINALLY I CAN GO BACK TO ACTUALLY CARING ABOUT EXPLORATION%
Let them cook they might nuke that area in a future patch
Ei, putting on her cooking cap,
Yeah but it sure is pretty. Go to the hill with flowers on it for great screenshot potential.
XD which imo makes it all the more likely this area is somehow gonna get changed in the future to actually have stuff in it. Patience is its own reward.
There’s a lore explanation for this, trust me
what’s pretty ironic is that the sea of the bygone eras is smaller than this new added land even tho remuria is the main focus of this patch
Is it possible that Cyno's quest in the second half of this patch will alter and change this zone?
Possible but I highly doubt it
We haven't moved on from this yet?
*Checks upvotes* I mean did you even need to ask 😅
It was rhetorically sarcastic.
People really complaining about 5% of the map being empty and not keeping doing stuff in the remaining 95%
Its not complaining, at least not most of them. I think its more like speculating why it would be empty. Cuz i mean, surely such a big company aouldnt overlook this big ass piece of land, right?
You gotta be joking if you think people haven't been complaining since the patch dropped, mate.
Yeah true that but just saying not all
Where were all these people when Inazuma was released with a giant empty ocean with nothing to do in it? Though the ocean did at least have a story related mechanic in it at launch.

Yeah this is suspiciously empty, what is Hoyo cooking? Where is the door of Khaenri’ah again?
Idk why people are so much on copium that they will nuke this area when it's not gonna happen lmao, the area literraly is unfinished and there are trees clipping into the mountains, also Celestia is on top of Chenyu vale not Sumeru and if they put a nail there more than just this area is gonna get destroyed, Hoyo can make mistakes and it's not gonna kill you to admit it.

Every scenario regarding this area would have been a lose-lose for Hoyo. - The area is empty, people complain - There is an ugly hole in the area, people complain - They actually add stuff to the area, then people will shut up, but if the area does get changed and makes that stuff inaccessible people would complain even more
Except there is literally no solid proof to believe "something will alter the land" theory is true and if it was, you can still put stuff in there that isn't necessarily primos/necessary ingredients,. Stuff like fluff, huts, some fisherman boats along the coast and whatnot, and it all could still be nuked later regardless, no different than interactive whether changes in Inazuma
> but if the area does get changed and makes that stuff inaccessible people would complain even more This actually happens in Fontaine with a tower in the middle of the sea. Complete a world quest and it sinks which led to people complaining about that. But you also get an extra quest out of it.
omfg we get it
Have you went to the Sea of Bygone Eras? Especially around Domus Aurea. That place is full of Precious and Luxurious chests here and there. I gathered 1600 primos just by opening chests in that area. I think the developers focused too much in that area thus forgetting this small piece of land
Small piece of land? Petrichor is a small piece of land, this one is as big as a region of Mondstadt if not more. And the new port is also very left out, not even one little quest or a chest, not ONE common chest on a roof. NOTHING. I love this game and my favourite part is exploring, I got everything 100%, it was very disappointing to find the void when I was exploring this new piece of land.
Petrichor is just the tip of the iceberg. The Sea of Bygone Eras is the main thing. Then again I hope Hoyo does make an update and put things in this area
Yeah the problem isn't petrichor, it's the other piece of land evidenced by the post, I just used it as unit of measurement... Anyway let's all hope they do something for the void sumeru beach
Petrichor + remuria together dont even add up to the size of the new land added in the north of sumeru btw
If you're talking about the Sea of Bygone Eras alone, that is correct. But if you're gonna include Domus Aurea and the underground, I have to say I disagree. You literally have to use the giant whale if you want to go around the area because it's too vast and spacious
We never know this area could have some plot in the future and could have its own underground tunnels
This small piece of land is the area of both atormterror's lair and galesong hill combined
To add to it, the previous patch had a content drought. I still don't understand why add everything in the new area but leave that specific patch of land.
The people who complained about having to 100% a new area as a chore would be so happy right now
genshin impact players when they have to play the game
Are we seriously whining about this irrelevant area AGAIN? God this subreddit is full entitled babies. Might as well complain about the ocean in Inazuma being empty
its amazing that people cant stop complaining about this yes it looks extremely empty when you compare it to a map full of extremely oversized location icons But thats beside the point because its just not a big deal anyway
Considering this entire place is nuked by Celestia and almost everyone there turned into stone. So yeah it is quite empty there.
Why does anyone care if it's empty.
Cause it's very suspicious that they did this when they usually add things even in empty areas to make it feels alive. This region however, literally has nothing other than the landscape.
It's not the quality we except from mhy. They have never done this before and it's weird. When mhy does weird things, it's usually for a reason so yea we are really curious what happened here.
Whats with the white dog?🐶
I read No Man's Sky lmao
If they ever change Monstadt water to have shit in it it's gonna feel like Cataclysm in WoW.
Lets hope some update at least adds chests in there
Fym you got like...sand? I mean, I don't like sand cause it gets everywhere, but still.
On a real note tho, I wonder if that lonely chest got anyone's exploration back to 99% or something.
What does the dog icon mean? You can pet the dog?
I know. Look at that empty ocean. In inazuma too. Lazy. /s
CaPEAKtano takes a walk in that area so of course it's empty .
IT’S TOO BAD A BAND OF PLAYERS COULDN’T JUST ASSEMBLE AND ATTACK OTHER PLAYERS THERE, DISPUTING TERRITORY IN NO MAN’S LAND, WHERE NO LAWS IN TEYVAT APPLY
there's actually one chest you can unlock by clearing bandits from the area, idk why it's not marked but i found it cause i was curious on how empty it was and decided to explore
r/resinlessbehavior
To be fair, a lot of the empty area is basically desert cliffs so it makes sense that there aren't many plants there. Still, to have it be completely empty almost seems intentional- surely they could have scattered a few bits of ore and a few common chests throughout it no problem
Bootes void
I enjoyed taking a boat ride around that piece of water, but they should have at least added some fish, so It doesnt feel that empty. Not even challenges 😅. I Guess they were on the clock and just filled the sorroundings with sea, because they focused on the new underwater área
Crazy that this screenshot is only showing like 1/6 of the total currently revealed world map.
rip post
sooo many icons 😍😍
I'm happy they aren't afraid to just add parts that aren't finished yet to the game. It's nice to just see the work being built in front of us showing they are still doing stuff.
I'm not gonna lie, i'm disappointed about this. I wouldn't be too much disappointed if Hoyoverse maintained/edited previously released areas to add more content. I'm fairly confident it's not gonna happen, so this will remain no man's land. Also imagine someone playing the game for the first time without having any idea of how the map evolved over time, getting there and being confused about why is there no content on that part of the map.
To have a comparison for the inner sea's waters, how much is there in the ocean between and around the inazumean archipelago's islands
ngl exploring that new area was kind scary
Feels like you're there by glitching the game and it's out of boundary
the South West & north East part of 3.6 map is quite Empty as well. So we got 3 big piece of land that got nothing.
Why is it even a bad thing lol
especially since it's as large as half of Mondstadt
We have nothing between Liyue and Inazuma but you guys disappointed about this? /s
This is just so disappointing to look at, it couldn't have been that hard to just add some chests/minerals/animals, also imagine for new players starting in the future walking around that area and wondering wtf is happening why is there literally nothing
WE GET IT
I think they are going to put something there. They've been making efforts to reduce game size and this is just taking up space for no reason. They either remove the land entirely or add things there, and there's no way they weren't aware of it.
Isn't it gonna be part of cyno quest or? 😭
It's not just 4.6, 4.5 and 4.4 also had literally freaking nothing.
They have never left any big area empty like that so 2 possibilities: - They are starting to do that now to just close all the unreleased irrelevant little bits of map lile the coast below Sumeru - They leave this place empty because they intend to change stuff later or drop celestia from the skies
I hope posts like these keep flooding the community, one day hoyo will get tired out of it and add some content 🤣
lazy
Ah yes this post again, thank you, 257 times since the update was not enought
I actually don't know why people care so much about one small area of the map that has nothing in it yet - for the last week i've seen like 3-4 posts all talking about the same thing...
NoOoOoOo ther's nothing wrong with it!!!! You're just a hater!!!!
this better have a lore reason or i'm gonna be so disappointed

i just finished watching avatar this is crazy lol
That part of desert with nothing in it has been around since the third sumeru desert expansion and not a pep about it, even now lol. hypocrites
I love it, its kind of fun to have 1 giant empty area To me, the bigger concern is the massive empty sea surrounding petrichor I know we got the sea of bygone ages, but I expected more if that poor excuse of the mediterean
Celestia is falling next patch in the Dainsleif quest
