Navigating the Seas of Teyvat: Your Guide to Boats in Genshin Impact
Ahoy, traveler! Have you looked at the sparkling waters of Teyvat? Have you wished to trade walking for waves? You are not alone. Genshin Impact allows you to captain a vessel or ride with others. So, can you get a boat in Genshin Impact? Let’s dive into Teyvat’s watery transport.
Types of Boats and Ships: From Tiny Rafts to Luxurious Galleys
Genshin Impact has a delightful variety of boats, each unique. Let’s explore the main types.
Waverider: Your Personal Water Taxi
The Waverider is the most iconic boat in Genshin Impact. Have you explored the Electro nation of Inazuma? Think of it as your own speedboat. Want to zip between islands? The Waverider is the choice.
- Summoning the Waverider: Forget boat dealers. In Genshin, know where magic happens. Waverider Waypoints populate Inazuma like teleport hubs. Activate these Waypoints like a Teleporter, and *poof*, a Waverider appears, ready for your ocean adventures.
- Waverider Waypoints beyond Inazuma? Keep lookout! During events like Fleeting Colors in Flight, temporary Waverider Waypoints can pop up in Liyue’s Guyun Stone Forest. Who knows where these aquatic beacons will show next?
Pearl Galley: Luxury Liner, Liyue Style
If the Waverider is your sporty boat, the Pearl Galley is the luxury yacht of Genshin Impact. Moored near Liyue Harbor, it’s a floating palace for Teyvat’s VIPs. Not on the guest list? You might admire it from afar or find a way to become an invited guest.
Beidou’s Ship: The Alcor – A Ship with Character
Beidou’s ship, the Alcor, isn’t mere transportation; it has character. More than a vessel, it acts as Beidou’s mobile headquarters. Finding this ship isn’t casual. It’s in a secluded spot.
- Finding the Alcor: Captain Beidou anchors her ship east of Guyun Stone Forest, away from the busy harbor. If you want a ride with the Crux Fleet, head east from Guyun Stone Forest.
Bamboo Raft: Chenyu Vale’s Rustic Ride
For a simple boating experience, Chenyu Vale offers the Bamboo Raft. Operated by Bosu, this raft connects Chenyu Vale: Upper Vale with Yilong Wharf. It’s scenic but slow. Great views, but not ideal for quick escapes from Ruin Graders.
Setting Sail: How to Get Your Hands on a Boat
Now that you know the boats, let’s discuss how to acquire them. In Teyvat, boats come with quests and conditions.
Waverider Acquisition: Waypoints are Your Friend
Getting a Waverider is easy. It’s all about Waverider Waypoints. Find and activate one, and voila! Your watercraft appears. No quests or grinding—just boating joy, if you’re in Inazuma or an event area.
Pearl Galley Access: Quest Required
Want to roam the decks of the Pearl Galley? It requires some effort. Unlocking this ship requires completing the “Ocean Pearl” questline in Liyue Harbor. It’s your gateway to high-class Teyvatian seafaring.
Beidou’s Ship (The Crux) and the Journey to Inazuma
Want to board the Alcor? You’re in luck! Progressing through Archon Quests naturally brings you aboard Beidou’s ship. Kick off Archon Quest Chapter 2: Act 1, then talk to Katheryne at the Adventurer’s Guild in Liyue Harbor. That chat is your ticket to the Alcor and Inazuma.
The Alcor World Quest: A Lone Ship in Guyun
Curious about the Alcor? Getting close triggers a quest. Visit Guyun Stone Forest, climb aboard for the first time, and you’ll start the World Quest “A Lone Ship In Guyun.” The ship welcomes you aboard to a new adventure.
Voyages and Destinations: Where Can Boats Take You?
Boats are useful for exploration! Let’s see where they can take you.
Inazuma: Island Hopping with the Waverider
The Waverider is key for exploring Inazuma. Its purpose? Island hopping across the Electro Archon’s realm. Without it, navigating Inazuma’s islands is tough and draining. The Waverider makes efficient travel possible.
Pearl Galley: A Ship to Return To
The Pearl Galley isn’t just a one-time stop. Completing “The Ocean Pearl” World Quest allows you to return when you wish for luxury. Just speak to Pinghai, and you’re back on board quickly.
Important Boat-y Bits and Bobs
Before setting sail, here are some essential tips for smooth sailing:
Exiting a Waverider: Ejector Seat Style
Leaving a Waverider isn’t like politely stepping off a cruise ship. It’s more dramatic. Want to exit quickly? Hold down the jump button. You’ll be ejected from the boat like a projectile. Effective? Yes. Dignified? Maybe not.
Limitations: No Icy Shortcuts to Inazuma (Sorry Kaeya Mains)
Thinking of outsmarting the game with Kaeya’s skill? Think again. Ice bridges fail here. The Electro Archon discourages it. Attempting unconventional travel leads to lightning strikes at the edge of Inazuma. Consider it a polite rejection.
Moshiri Kara Waverider Waypoint: Foggy Shores No More
Tsurumi Island’s fog causing issues? Fear not! Brave adventurers can reach the northern tip of Tsurumi Island past Shirikoro Peak, where a Waverider Waypoint awaits in Moshiri Kara. Activate it, and navigate foggy shores with ease.
So, that’s it! Boats in Genshin Impact are not just for show; they enhance exploration and quests and offer luxurious lounging. From speedy Waveriders to elegant Pearl Galleys, Teyvat’s waters await you. Now, I hear a Waverider Waypoint calling! Adventure (and soggy foes) await!
