Events | Description |
---|---|
Mega Meka Melee | A major event in the Court of Fontaine involving new and exciting mechanisms by helping the Leschots Clockwork Workshop! Get a free Bennett as well! |
Studies in Light and Shadow: A Fontaine of Enchantment | Harvest items around Fontaine to get to know the Flora of the region! |
Relic Records: Creations of the Hydro Nation | Defeat enemies and photograph the landscapes to explore the Fontaine region! |
Verdict of Blades | Defeat legions of formidable enemies and advance towards victory! |
Ley Line Overflow | In need of Mora or Hero's Wit? Version 4.0's got you! |
The biggest highlight of the 4.0 update is the release of the long-awaited region, the land of the Hydro Archon, Fontaine! With the release of the new map, expect big quests, puzzles, items, domains and exciting lore!
See everything we know about Fontaine in our full guide:
The fifth Element that the Traveler obtains is Hydro! Hydro in itself is a potent element for creating the current best Elemental Reactions, but we'll see how the Traveler fares with it!
As the world of Teyvat grows, traversing around increasingly becomes harder! That's why, from the Developer's Discussion last June 20th, developers announced that a Multi-Layered Map will be introduced in Version 4.0.
What this means for everyone is easier and more convenient navigation using the map, without the hassle of using a 2D map that shows a Waypoint above-ground, but is actually located underground (we've all been there, we know.)
The new region features its major exploration mechanic, Underwater Diving! Almost fifty percent of the new region is underwater, so it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the mechanic before going there!
Underwater Diving Mechanic Guide
Certain abilities from Fontaine characters trigger the Ousia or Pneuma mechanic. Only with the correct opposite alignment can an Ousia or Pneuma-aligned object be interacted.
Know more about this new mechanic in the guide below:
Quest Name | Type |
---|---|
Fontaine Archon Quest Act 1 | Archon |
Fontaine Archon Quest Act 2 | Archon |
Lyney Story Quest Act 1 | Story |
Know more about the Land of Justice in the Fontaine Archon Quest, which will have two acts in total, and will likely introduce a bunch of new characters! Lyney is one such character, who will also have his own Story Quest!
Clorinde | Charlotte | Freminet |
Furina | Lyney | Lynette |
Navia | Neuvillette |
Several new characters also take center stage in the upcoming Archon Quest, including the Hydro Archon Furina, and the Chief Justice Neuvilette!
Other characters like Arlecchino, Wriothesley and Sigewinne are not present sadly, but we may see them in the upcoming patches!
New Enemies in 4.0 | |
---|---|
Icewind Suite | Emperor of Fire and Iron |
New world bosses will be available in 4.0, which will likely be the sources of ascension materials for either Lyney, Lynette, or Freminet.
New 4.0 Artifacts | |
---|---|
Marechausse Hunter | Golden Troupe |
Artifact sets that increase Elemental Skill DMG (Golden Troupe) and increases CRIT Rate, and Normal and Charged Attacks (Marechausse Hunter) were revealed!

in the Crafting Bench!
Players will be able to craft Tenacity of the Millelith, Pale Flame, Shimenawa's Reminiscence, Emblem of Severed Fate, Husk of Opulent Dreams, Ocean-Hued Clam, Vermillion Hereafter, and Echoes of an Offering!
How to Use Artifact Strongbox Guide
The destruction function of Artifacts in the Inventory will also be optimized, where you can add all 4-Star Artifacts at once! Several optimizations to the Locking and Equipping Artifacts functions are also underway.

Players can choose from the new and current weapons after buying Gnostic Hymn and reaching BP Level 30.
Travelers can view the current Genius Invokation TCG match on the Friends or Co-Op Team screen with the upcoming Observe Duel function! Hosts can select whether you allow others to view the duel through the settings in the duel.

I heard that Lyney is a Pryo bow user, and Lynette is an Anemo sword user. Also even though here weapon is revealed, Furina's (Focolors) element should be Hydro. As for the possible banners in 4.0, It has been rumored that the Archons with not get a rerun, the only archon being Furina in 4.2 (Every archon was introduced in 0.2 of each version).
