Mondstadt’s Hidden Gems: A Poster and Billboard Safari
You roam the cobblestone streets of Mondstadt. The medieval German vibes surround you. These vibes are intentional. Genshin is full of real-world inspiration. Have you noticed city planning details? I don’t mean the windmills; I mean the posters and billboards around town. Yes, even in this fantasy world with dragons and magic, advertising exists.
You think, “Posters? Billboards? Why care?” Well, you should! These visual details add flavor. They hint at daily life and commerce in Mondstadt. If you’re a completionist, you want to spot every single one. This is your slightly sarcastic, yet helpful, guide to Mondstadt’s poster and billboard spots.
The Knightly Advertisement Hub
Our first stop is a place of authority. It’s in front of the Knights of Favonius headquarters. We won’t bother Jean for quest updates. Instead, look upwards to the roof of the building across from the HQ.
You will often spot a poster or two up there. Why here? It’s prime real estate. All visitors to the Knights or those wandering by will glance in this direction. It’s like Mondstadt’s version of Times Square, but much less crowded and dragon-attack prone.
Blacksmith Billboard Bonanza
Next, we visit Wagner, Mondstadt’s blacksmith. He hammers away, likely annoyed by Travelers asking for weapon ascension materials. But ignore the sound of metal for now. Look around the shop. Pay attention to the roof of the building next to Wagner’s forge.
This rooftop spot is another prime area for posters. Does Wagner put these up to advertise his sword designs? Or is it just a good place for city announcements? Regardless, if you’re seeking sharp objects or admiring city décor, stop by this location.
Wall-Top Wonders: High-Altitude Hoardings
Now for a more adventurous poster hunt. Climb up to the city walls of Mondstadt. Those walls are not only for protection; they are for views. And they serve as perfect advertising spaces.
Climb those stairs or glide up to the wall. Keep your eyes open. Posters stick to various sections of the wall, providing a broad and public display. Perhaps these announcements target travelers entering or leaving the city? Or warnings about local wildlife? Or just another chance to decorate Mondstadt?
Grocery Store Grandeur: Marketed Merchandise on High
Our last poster destination might be the most logical: the Mondstadt General Goods store, run by Marjorie. Need cooking ingredients, local specialties, or want to sell suspiciously acquired loot? This is the go-to place. The building itself is also a prime advertising spot.
Check out the roof of the Mondstadt General Goods store. Spot more posters! It seems someone has a poster placement plan. This makes perfect sense. Where better to advertise than above the main marketplace? It’s retail synergy at its best, even in Teyvat.
Your whirlwind tour of Mondstadt’s posters and billboards is done. Who knew urban exploration in a fantasy RPG could be so ad-filled? In truth, these details enhance the game’s immersive feel. These touches make Mondstadt feel like a living city, despite most residents being worried about hilichurl attacks and finding dandelion wine. While enjoying the scenery, consider visiting Liyue next for a different cultural vibe. Expect different advertising strategies—perhaps scrolls or giant jade billboards? One can only wonder. And what type of marketing awaits in Natlan?
