Fixing genshin impact's map

Would it be alright to use this map if it were to be used for a mod if you were given credit? Or would you rather not be associated with modding the game? Me personally, I use them to strengthen immersion in reigons like natlan (i.e. skin colour) as well as UI changes

imo the reason the electro hypostasis hasn't got a path going to it is because it like you said is technically undiscovered, whereas we have canonical proof the anemo hypostasis has been both discovered and studied, sucrose's entire ult is based upon that fact, since one of her burst quotes is "anemo hypostasis emulation"

As an Abyss Lector of the Fathomless Flames, I found this video really intriguing and instructive to our geological education of the Abyss Order. Having been using outdated map sources for millennium, it led us to countless tragedy throughout the battles against the overworld. With this newly updated map, we can finally have better understanding of the critical mistakes we have made and somewhat have better coordination with the Hilichurls for future attacks. It was such a pain trying to cooperate with those incompetent... creatures calling themselves as soldiers from a fallen civilization (am I right, my fellow Abyss Mages?) I also notice that Celestia wasn't mentioned in the video despite having done nothing other than suppressing those from the overworld for eternity since the early days of Teyvat, I think it should be added to the map too, for better research purposes of course.

[@KAND0RIS]

As the map gets bigger and more of Teyvat map is unlocked, it would be great to be able to unzoom more. As of now the map displays subareas (like Apam Woods) when zoomed in and when we zoom out it switches to areas (like Ashavan Realm), if we could unzoom more we could have subregions (like Dharma Forest) and regions (like Sumeru) displayed with their symbol layered on top.

[@MiyuKawasaki]

[@Sacration]

[@madladdie7069]

[@arifezwan8893]

24:03 this village is probably isn't very old. From Beidou's hangout, we know that she once lived here before it was abandoned

[@FlyingNinjaish]

Honestly, I had exactly the opposite impression of Fontaine - between the Court, Passion, Melusine Village, Lumidouce/Romaratine Harbor, and the little homesteads scattered over the map, it felt a lot more like an actual country where people live than Mondstadt/Liyue/Inazuma, where almost everything outside the one big city is just ruins, like it's a isolated outpost (or post-apocalyptic in Inazuma).

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

I agree on your points but disagree with the conclusion. Fontaine does the worst in terms of connectivity and natural urban growth. There are no exits from the Court of Fontaine other than the aquabus. And all other settlements are completely disconnected from each other with no way of transporting goods or commuting. Aquabus lines make basically no sense. And the main harbors are just harbors in the middle of no where without any nearby settlements that merchants and dock workers would live in. Many of those settlements also are just random and doesn't make any sense why they would be there. Genshn actually did better in this regard in older areas and only started failing halfway through Inazuma. None of them feel like real countries based on its road networks, trade, and urban layout. They all have issues in one form or another. One country does well in one area but not in another.

[@OkxAri]

id like to bring up most people in sumeru don’t believe in aranara, and so they can’t see them. it makes sense the cartographer wouldn’t mark them. And vananarana shared that same idea

[@triglav657]

22:30 for those mountains in particular, npcs are not supposed to go there, as its the place where the adepti lives, and as its said that those who reach the adepti will have their wishes granted, well its also granted that the road to those wish granting adepti is not going to be easy (otherwise everyone and their mothers would go everyday to those mountains)

[@Sacration]

Exactly

[@allovertheplace112]

24:07 in Beidou's hangout event, she says this was her hometown as a kid(around 5 or 6 years old was when she arrived)! it used to be a fishing village called Downriver because the people came from a place called Upriver(which is now completely gone). so it's only been abandoned relatively recently, but has been pretty much forgotten by most people

Amazing job!!! This is one of those things that, you don't realize just how much you need it until someone makes it. Your updated map looks sooooo much better than the in-Game version I can't even... Also, you might already be aware, but the only location in Genshin where a boat actually moves naturally from place to place is in Chenyu Vale along the Bishui River, an NPC uses a bamboo pole to propel a Bamboo Raft to and from the lower docks of Yilong Wharf (you can also interact with an NPC at the docks to get a ride down the river as well). I was shocked the first time I saw it in-game while exploring along the river, but I've seen it happen a few times since... you can even fly / swim onto the boat and get a free ride along the river. Always wished they did this with the larger boats in the game, would add so much to the immersion, especially if they randomized the times when boats dock and depart. Anywho, amazing job, this was genuinely fun to watch and it's a shame Hoyo doesn't put more effort into their own map. : /

[@Beerevity]

Hello??! Thank you so much cobalt glad you enjoyed the video, I truly appreciate the kind words! And yes of course, I love taking the rafts along chenyu vale, that makes it all the more sad when it's the only place in all of Teyvat to do that though. I would love if you could see say, ships off in the distance from port ormos or liyue harbour moving about. One can dream.😔❤️

[@cobaltblue42]

@Beerevity Thanks for the reply and yes, you did an amazing job on this! 😊 your attention to detail covering such a large open world map is also very amazing. And yeah, ships actually doing things, trade caravans on roads between towns, NPC's having more freedom to do things in towns... there's a lot of immersion elements I wish the game had. Even more daily quests that help you permanently fix or clean up areas of the world would be cool. Regardless, keep up the amazing work!!! 😊

[@nicoalbert1450]

Yeah Love that video! I also would like a update on the map, i think i will write that in the next survey. Overall i love your changes i only would comment on a few things: 1. Windgliders, i believe it is statet that the anemo archon is regarded as a god not only for the mondstadt region, but for travelers and free spirits all over teyvat so the windgliders are not exclusive to mondstadt in my opinion 2. I think that treassure hoarders and eremites are supposed to be inconsistent, because they are not supposed to be part of society 3. All the aranara related stuff should be missing in my opinion, because they are related to idea of only be visible in a dreamlike state, the whole Aranara questline makes you question if their existence is real/a dream/spirits anything in between all this, so i would say for the normal society they should count as non existent

[@nicoalbert1450]

I was thinking about that single bell in Mondstadt, maybe it isnt supposed to be the ruins of a village, but was dropped there by Dvalin or a storm caused by dvalin, by that logic many stuff could be the remnants of storm dropping them all over Mondstadt, dame for floods in Fountain or storms/floods in Inazuma

[@NorthWolf97]

Fun fact: Vind is the Swedish word for Wind. Swedish and German share the same Germanic roots, and thus have a few similar words. They're also quite close in geographic terms. Mondstadt is more Germanic inspired leading into medieval Germany, but there are many similarities with Sweden in it.

[@falsevacuum4667]

4:08 Maybe people go to the Anemo Hypostasis to worship it since Mondstadt is the land of the Anemo Archon after all, whereas the inhabitants wouldn't really have an interest in the Electro Hypostasis.

[@suumi_z]

The abandoned village with a lot of small docks, west of Wangshu Inn, iirc was where Beidou used to live. Beidou is still fairly young, so I’m imagining the reason the settlements are less worn down is because it was abandoned not too long ago. Also, I think it was near the vicinity of Wangshu Inn that there was a small village where Shuyu’s grandmother, Yuandai gave birth to Shuyu’s parent (I can’t remember which one), so idk if the village was the very same or a different one, but it’s food for thought.

We do get an NPC using a glider once. One we help a treasure hoarder out of a deep pit in Liyue for a (world?) quest, the text says something along the lines of "we both fly up on our gliders."

[@itspaafekuto]

23:18 strictly speaking, it doesn't say the RIDER has to be blessed, just the ITEM itself, and I'm not aware of any other lore to suggest that the users of gliders are limited (indeed, playable characters from all regions can use gliders just fine), so unless I've overlooked something you might have jumped the gun; the issue would be rather that the gliders are somehow scarce, based on the whole subtext of the sumeru scholars trying to reproduce them in the first place; you're right at least that there doesn't seem to be anything that really makes it clear what exactly this blessing IS though

[@gatex33d74]

I think the "Disneyland geography" of Fontaine is way more justified because it's, y'know, and archipelago Archipelagos having unique and one-off details is a very common thing, so it definitely makes sense for world building and game design I think the reasons why it feels worse than in Inazuma are: -lack of civilizations, which make the different areas feel more like it's *for the player* than for the world -the fact that you can go into the water, making the rives and lakes not feel like an actual separation between the different islands and Instead just seem like normal land too, making it feel less like an archipelago and more like a big land with some *very* big puddles Basically that it feels like a land with water on top rather than water with land on top I would see this complaint being way more justified with Natlan, since it doesn't have as much of a justification with how it's just a normal landmass Buuuut you could justify it with world building/lore and how the Wayobs affect the surrounding land, but it's still a stretch Natlan really suffers with the Disney geography on areas like the People of the springs because it feels very out of place, but ultimately I understand it's for a game design reason It's meant to feel like a bunch of disconnected areas with different element themes. If they wanted to make it feel less like Disneyland geography they would have had to either tone down the differences between the zones (bad for game design and feel) or the nation would have needed to be like twice or thrice bigger (hell for the devs)

For me part of the game was using the custom map marker feature to jot down things that I find important that don't appear on the map: it feels like part of the exploration! Puzzles without a clear solution, spots with scenic views, places with a high level of a certain enemy that isn't part of the adventurer's handbook (this mightve been fixed now idk but when I was farming whopperflowers there were quite a few spots with unmarked ones, like those you have to interact with weeds to trigger). Since we as a traveller tend to go many places where few people have actually gone to or seen for themselves, it felt pretty natural that many things will be unmarked as to not spoil the landscape before you go see it. That being said I love love love the work you've done here, I'm a sucker for map-making and making like, unofficial travel guides, and noting lore that isn't necessarily story-important, but makes the world feel complete.

[@forbiddenera]

Map is auto-geneated and stitched. Objects can appear or not depending on whether the layer they're on is checked off or not. Fun fact, at least one Shrine of the Depths was marked incorrectly and appears on tbe map, whereas generally they're made invisible.

[@forbiddenera]

7:29 again, generated. When the map was generated, there probably was only one hut. We literally generally toss a camera way up high, use layers or groups to define what should be visible and add a shader (visible to only that camera or something) for certain materials or surfaces art direction if needed. It's possible there's some hand drawn modifications and it's totally possible to have the engine export the map as a multi-layer graphic file, allowing the editor to easily adjust/add/remove different objects. Many games even will generate the map this way in realtime, however Genshin does not.

[@forbiddenera]

Also, I should clarify that a lot of the world geometry in games is procedurally generated, if not in realtime then at least during design - so this explains why roads can look the way they do and not as you might expect from my aforementioned sky-cam - as I said, sometimes shaders are used for art direction and a perfect example is roads - you use the path data that proceedurally generates the world geometry/texturing to draw it's path on the map, solving the problem where the actual texture for a road might not show up good from the sky cam (eg. Roads that are barely roads and mostly grass)

[@azuarc]

27:50 I think the thing that bothers me most about the world layout is that there's so much more that's implied to exist than what we actually get in-game. Obviously, there are good reasons for this, but I'd like to know where all the people in Liyue went if it seems like literally every village everywhere is abandoned. I remember being stunned at Sumeru when I found more than two places where people were actually living. We got four! Just within the rain forest! Plus Aaru Village! And then we dropped back down to two for Fontaine again. When you factor in all the other things that lore suggests should be there, and it makes me wonder what a "real, full-scale" version of Teyvat would be like.

The Liyue abandoned river village based on hangout quest is where either Ningguang or Beidou (not sure which one but leaning towards Beidou) grew up

Omg 45 minute Beerevity video, I'm gonna save this one

i like making maps. i never knew i needed this video

[@thesithis3745]

The abadoned village near the inn in Liyue is a village where Beidou lived as a kid

I love these kind of contents of exploring realism in games whether they are sci-fi, fantasy or not, as they help me in learning on how write a story, a good map that makes sense is essential when making your own world after all

[@katzodragon2500]

I need this map asap in genshin. NOW EVERY TIME I OPEN THE MAP I'M GOING TO BE SO UPSET DANGIT BEEREVITY!!!

[@steviebrown64]

This took so much effort, good grief. Very nicely done!

9:56 The reason you remember more Treasure Hunters it's because the Book/Money farming locations spawn them in certain places (Stormterror's Lair and near the weapon ascencion materials come to mind).

Mondstadt has treasure hoarder enemies in the leyline crop battles, mostly on the west of mond. I farm them a lot

I love your videos. We need more silly but serious investigations of teyvat's wacky world

[@smartiepatty]

I think it makes sense for mondstadt's map to be a bit more bare compared to newer areas and for good reasons 1) the genshin team had just started out so keeping things simple might have been the best choice for them at the time 2) i think it makes it easier for players to navigate the main roads and not get overwhelmed, one needs to consider not many are familiar with openworld games, perhaps it's more straightforward and allows players to reach, for example, liyue a bit more easily, tho even with few roads on the map *a lot* of Players go to liyue through dragonspine and suffer the consequences of their own actions (not noticing the path to stone gate which is definitely more friendly than dragonspine, esp for beginners😭 im guilty of that too)

[@AppleNorris]

I'd say that entire economics system is broken. Liyue is a trading port? Who they are trading with then? Inazuma? They were closed off. Well, there is also a Sumeru port in that part of the world. But what else? Mondstadt? Its port probably leads to Snezhnaya more than to Liyue, also they have established ground trading route, which is probably a lot cheaper and easier (because probable water route goes through the Osial domain... I don't think that ships can sail in those treacherous waters)...

Thank you for your service! I love your housing videos and other videos! It's quirky and shows the silly things hoyo forgot or didn't think of. I look forward to seeing more of your videos!

[@xSessrumnir]

At some point, there will be an event quest line, where the Liyue Ministry of Infastrucure or w/e joins forces with the Knights of Favonius, to build better roads for future cooperation between the two neighbouring nations. And we all know, whom we will have to thank for that.

ur content and commentary is so good i havent enjoyed genshin youtube like this in ages thank u

[@Wex_6]

4 years of playing and i have only unlocked the tutorial map (4-5 statues only), had to come back to unlock the whole remaining map and I have to admire, genshin’s map is really beautiful, special, huge and full of great stuff despite the routes design

The fact you were using music from the game Dog's Life is already amazing. lol And damn, you really had your work cut out for you with this one, inspector! :O

[@soup-vessel]

THANK YOU!!!! I am literally always griping about the map in this game. The bayda harbor road makes me want to cry so badly. This must have taken ages, and it looks beautiful.

[@Gwendolinh]

I cannot express how much I appreciate you doing all this. This had bothered me so much for so long. Especially the missing ruins spots as someone who enjoys lore so much. Thank you for sharing the maps 💕

[@RosieStillEditzx]

Fun fact: You can see Sumeru city from Fontaine! That’s how big it is!

[@foozlesprite]

TY so much for publishing the edited maps, those will be great for reference when I'm writing fic! A few notes for you below that might give some context for a few of the locations you mentioned here: 12:14 Hu Tao's story quest features some middle-aged NPCs that used to live in Wuwang Hill when they were young, so it's probably not been abandoned for much more than 20-30 years. 24:05 Per her hangout, Beidou partially grew up in this fishing village, so it's probably also not been abandoned for more then 20-30 years! At some point I'd love to to look through various in-game sources and see if there's *any* sort of consistency in travel times mentioned, but they're mentioned so infrequently that I'm pressing X to doubt. Plus there are lots of variables like the exact terrain being crossed, what kind of transport is being taken if any, whether you need to switch between water and land travel, whether the person is traveling solo or as a group, and their level of experience with the terrain. I'm not sure if much useful info could be gleaned from mentions like that.

[@spyrothetimelord]

the only reason i know there are no treasure hoarders in Mond except the few in dragonspine is specifically from needing to farm them. when i realized and it hit me.... loved this video. i'm glad there are other people who think of this sort of stuff in video games. it's so satisfying to watch but also know we are not alone lol

[@Elairdionne]

This is your magnum opus !

[@thun_d33r]

This is literally what i have been thinking for YEARS. You spilled facts. The old map needs to be polished.

[@BenW0lf]

the people from natlan are not all able to use saurian abilities ... just those who trained for them... and even then some visit other tribes too

[@undyingsaltedfish753]

The player base filling in the map's lacking details (especially the underground areas before Genshin included them in-game) really just gives so much Adventurer's Guild energy. Like you people are literally doing things adventurers do!

[@RockyRoad287]

I think the reason (if you want a lore accurate one) for the maps being less detailed in the earlier regions could be said that it's because the people in that nation were in charge of mapping it out, and just didn't put in as much effort to make sure it's accurate as the people in other nations were.
