Conquering Yashiori Island in Genshin Impact: Your No-Nonsense Guide
Yashiori Island exists in Genshin Impact. It remains always rainy and mysterious. Some seek its gloom. Others want to complete their maps in Inazuma. Whatever your goal, this guide has what you need. Navigate the island effectively with these insights. Let’s jump in.
Chart a Course: Reaching Yashiori Island
Yashiori Island isn’t hidden. It sits in southeast Inazuma. You cannot swim there. Prefer not to drown? Use Inazuma’s Waverider. It involves nautical tech to get to the island quickly.
- Summon Your Ride: Find a Waverider waypoint. They act like boat docks. Interact with one, and your watercraft appears.
- Set Sail Southeast: Hop into your Waverider. Point it southeast. Yashiori is that distant landmass, always damp. Keep sailing; it’s hard to miss unless you try.
The Waverider is the best method. It provides a quick, scenic route. Avoid unwanted sea monsters. Nobody needs that before even reaching the island.
Quests and Raincoats: Taming Yashiori Island
You’ll notice Yashiori’s main feature quickly: constant rain. It impacts gameplay heavily. But there’s a solution. You’ll need to follow the questline Orobashi’s Legacy.
Orobashi’s Legacy: Your Ticket to Sunshine (Sort Of)
To start the quest, find Kaji. He remains near Fort Fujitou, your quest’s starting point on Yashiori. Go to Fort Fujitou.
- Talk to Kaji: Speak with Kaji. He complains about the rain. He’ll mention Orobashi’s Legacy. Accept the quest unless you enjoy the drizzle.
- Shrine Scavenger Hunt: The quest has parts that involve finding pieces at shrines. These parts are not easy to find; use Elemental Sight. Activate it and track those glowing trails. They lead to missing components.
- Rain, Rain, Go Away: Progress in Orobashi’s Legacy means inserting recovered pieces back to their spots. Complete Part IV, and the rain will stop! The island changes, feeling less gloomy.
- Domain Access and Spear Blueprints: Orobashi’s Legacy isn’t just about the weather; it offers rewards too. Completing Part III unlocks the Formation Estate domain. Finishing Part V gets you the Kitain Cross Spear diagram. Questing is worthwhile.
Unlockables: Domains and Chests Await
Formation Estate Domain: Light It Up!
You need to unlock the Formation Estate domain fully after completing Part III of Orobashi’s Legacy. It involves unlit torches around a locked cube. Lighting them in rain isn’t easy; therefore, clear the rain first!
Yashiori Island Chest: Samurai Showdown
Chests appear all over Teyvat, including Yashiori Island. One chest needs a mini-boss fight. Seek an Electrogana. Grab it and interact with a sword nearby. This summons a samurai. Defeat it for your chest reward. Samurai down, chest secured.
Weathering the Storm (Literally): Environmental Effects
The rain impacts Yashiori Island more than visually; it affects gameplay directly.
Making it Stop Raining Cats and Dogs
To end the rain, complete the world quest Orobashi’s Legacy. That questline controls the island’s rain machine. No quest, no sunshine.
Fires in the Rain? Challenge Accepted!
Despite the rain, Pyro activities remain possible. You can find interactable fires: campfires, stoves, tortures, and bonfires. Use Pyro attacks to light them, even in the rain. These fires can help if you need a flame before stopping the rain.
Island Hotspots: Fort Fujitou and Yasumoto’s Secrets
Yashiori hosts locations beyond chests and domains.
Fort Fujitou: Quest Hub and More
Fort Fujitou is where you start Orobashi’s Legacy. Kaji resides there. It acts as a hub for Yashiori quests.
Yasumoto’s Last Notes: A Hidden Story
Pursue Yasumoto’s Last Notes for some hidden lore. This Hidden Exploration Objective lies in Fort Fujitou. Complete another world quest “Treatment on the Island,” then wait four in-game days for it to unlock. Patience is key for Yasumoto’s Last Notes.
Before You Set Sail: Inazuma Prerequisites
First, ensure you unlock Inazuma before going to Yashiori Island. Genshin Impact locks regions behind Adventure Rank and Archon Quests.
- Adventure Rank 30: Reach Adventure Rank 30. If not, complete quests and explore to gain ranks.
- Inazuma Archon Quest: Start Inazuma’s Archon Questline, specifically Chapter 1 of ‘The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia’. Follow it, and soon you’ll reach Inazuma and Yashiori.
Yashiori Island, with its eternal rain and unique features, offers an intriguing slice of Inazuma’s world. Follow these steps; tackle Orobashi’s Legacy bravely and uncover secrets. Now go forth and explore – but remember an umbrella, just in case rainclouds ignore your efforts.
