[@sunblissowl]

It genuinely startled me when I realized Venti was standing on the building. Likely Bc it was night in the game and initially I only noticed his shadow. His shadow moved across the ground as if there were an invisible player in my game. Just as I figured it was likely Venti’s shadow, I turned around to leave and spotted him up on the rooftop. 😅

I actually spent time just hanging around in Mona's mirage domain. Easily the best dungeon miHoYo made for Genshin, at least in my opinion. I even redid some puzzle to use certain mechanisms again! This was the first time they actually impressed me with dungeon design in the game.

[@lemonskyia_4130]

I enjoyed the puzzles very much too! There is a lot of hate for this domain, cause it actually makes you use some braincells, but it's interesting, chill cause no enemies, timer and punishment for mistake, and so pretty!

Fun fact: u can take in domain picture by clicking the tutorial and then get a screenshot before it takes u to the tutorial page ( u only have 1-2 seconds before it takes u to the tutorial page, also the reason u press the tutorial is that theres no UI for 1-2 seconds ) make sure that u havent got ur burst yet note: for scenic area, go to a corner place/solid object (like walls) and then aim your screen to the solid object/corner place that ure standing infront so that ur character is invisible

There are quite a few! Finding treasure clues on some small reefs, a couple about the talking ship, help the fatui affected by the machine, tanuki on Kazuha's island, the cave on Xinyan's island, the notebook on Mona's. Some of them give like 90 primo or several big chests for finishing, so highly recommend doing them! Check the guides even, cause some are quite confusing...

Now I understand the pain of Speedrunning all the content at last time.

I don't think I would be able to either because now next semester classes are about to start. My F2P soul is crying 😭

[@a-non6238]

If you’re just gonna do one island for chests, I’d say do Mona’s. It lets you get to a super pretty photo point at the end! I’d say Fischl’s birds are the most tedious of all puzzles, especially in the Phantasmagoria quest. Yah the rewards from that quest are nice but it’s a total drag to do.

[@a-non6238]

I agree about the not being able to use the Kamera in domains complaint, especially for these really beautifully detailed ones. Yah I can screenshot but it would be nice to take pics without all the interface stuff. And it’s not like gadgets are completely hard locked from domains, because you can actually use the Inazuma wind glider speed boost gadget inside. Which is pretty sweet for losing less altitude when cheesing with characters like Kazuha, Venti, etc. But still, Hoyo, give us the Kamera in domains already. Also agree with some of the domain puzzles and chests being a bit of a pain to find. I had to eventually give in and use some guide videos, especially with some of the later Mona puzzles in the side rooms. I will say Mona’s overall island is definitely worth finishing and putting the collected stars into the constellation on top of the tower. Unlocks the best photo spot I’ve seen in the game. Only tragedy is you can’t get back up there after you claim the chest and it’s being wiped after this patch ends.
