Unraveling Yashiori Island: Your Ultimate Genshin Impact Guide
You roam Teyvat, collecting dandelion seeds. Whispers of Yashiori Island catch your attention. Intrigued? Yes? Yashiori Island, located in Inazuma, presents challenges. It’s more than a stroll; consider it wading through a storm. Do not worry, traveler. This guide serves as a compass and map for this island.
Yashiori Island: Location and First Impressions
Let’s clarify geographical bearings. Where is Yashiori Island located? In Genshin Impact, Yashiori Island is in Inazuma. Specifically, consult your map. You cannot miss it; it’s within Inazuma. More precisely, it forms part of its islands.
On Yashiori Island, Musoujin Gorge awaits. It’s not a standard scenic ravine; it tells a story. Musoujin Gorge cuts through Yashiori’s eastern side. It signifies nature’s reminder that, yes, something epic happened here.
So, why is Yashiori Island so dramatic? Let’s rewind history. Two millennia ago, the island suffered divine wrath. The cause? Orobashi no Mikoto, an ancient serpent god. He initiated chaos on Yashiori Island as a sibling rivalry. Orobashi also created Watatsumi Island. Quite the multitasker for a divine figure.
But there’s more! Ei, the Raiden Shogun, opposed Orobashi’s invasion. She responded forcefully. She used her legendary Musou no Hitotachi, a strike so powerful it reshapes the landscape. This strike is Musou no Hitotachi.
This monumental blow had effects. First, it split Yashiori Island in two, forming Musoujin Gorge. Second, it conclusively ended the Orobashi problem. Orobashi ceased troubling anyone. Now, his remains scatter across the island. You walk on remnants of a fallen god. Morbid? Perhaps. Historically significant? Surely.
Venturing into the Storm: Quests and Unlocking Yashiori Island
Enough history! How do you begin with Yashiori Island? You might ask, “How do I trigger the Yashiori Island quest?” The game does not announce “QUEST HERE!” However, it’s not too obscure either.
To start, head to Inazuma. If you struggle to reach Electro’s land, consult Eurogamer’s guide on how to get to Inazuma. Once you are in Inazuma, make for Yashiori Island. Look for Fort Fujitou. Near a cliffside southeast of the fort, find NPC Kaji. He presents the Orobashi’s Legacy World Quest series. Yes, series. Prepare yourself; it isn’t quick.
Kaji stays in Fort Fujitou at first. After completing the Orobashi’s Legacy questline, find him at Kujou Encampment. He moves around often, this Kaji.
Why should you pursue Orobashi’s Legacy? Beyond the adventure and loot, it holds practical importance: it stops the constant rain on Yashiori Island. That torrential downpour makes exploring like wading through a puddle. Finish Orobashi’s Legacy to control the rain.
This matters more than just looks. Rain affects gameplay. Remember those torches you light for puzzles? Lighting them during rain becomes impossible. So, to be productive on Yashiori Island, completing Orobashi’s Legacy is essential.
Let’s discuss domains. Yashiori Island hosts Formation Estate domain. Want to unlock it? Complete Orobashi’s Legacy part 3. After tackling part 3, rain stops near Formation Estate. Now, proceed to unlock the domain.
After the rain disappears, your work isn’t finished. Investigate the locked machine cube by Formation Estate. Look for unlit torches. Light the torches around the cube. This is a fiery ritual to appease domain gods. Once the torches burn, the Formation Estate domain will rise, awaiting challenges. Prefer video guides? Hempybara on YouTube offers helpful content: How to unlock Formation Estate domain (just substitute with a valid link).
For completionists, Yashiori contains Electroculus. To find the Electroculus location on Yashiori Island, begin at the waypoint north of The Seven. Go southwest until encountering a Thunder Sakura Bough. Take Electrogranum from it. Then dash east through Electro Barrier. Climb rocks inside and voilà! Acquired Electroculus. April 10, 2023, was significant for Electroculus hunting on Yashiori, as noted online (though date may not matter as much as the method).
Stormy Weather: The Rain and Lightning of Yashiori Island
Now, let’s discuss Yashiori Island’s notorious weather. A vital question arises: Is Yashiori Island always raining? Before you complete Orobashi’s Legacy, YES. The island resembles a monsoon haven. Gloomy skies and continuous rain create a damp atmosphere.
However, there’s hope. How to stop the storm? Remember: complete Orobashi’s Legacy World Quest. This questline offers your key to sunshine, or at least less rain, on Yashiori Island. It feels like magic; solving puzzles and talking to NPCs creates this effect.
Yet rain isn’t the only concern. Yashiori Island faces lightning strikes too. Quite annoying! You climb a cliff or glide gracefully, only to get zapped. How to stop lightning in Inazuma? The answer again lies in Orobashi’s Legacy. Complete this quest to stop the rain and calm the tempestuous skies; no more lightning threats await you. Goodbye, random electrocution; hello, peaceful exploration. As noted online on August 5, 2021, after Orobashi’s Legacy, exploring Yashiori Island becomes “very peaceful.” A stark change from its electrifying welcome.
Orobashi: Serpent God and Yashiori Island’s Dark Past
Who is Orobashi? Why does his “legacy” concern weather? Let’s explore lore. Who killed Orobashi? The culprit remains Ei, the Raiden Shogun. She achieved victory using her move, Musou no Hitotachi, to permanently resolve Orobashi. According to lore, Orobashi passed while staring at the heavens. Quite dramatic even in death.
Now why did they kill Orobashi? Here’s where Genshin Impact’s storytelling becomes interesting. Official reasons remain mysterious. Hints suggest Orobashi attacked Yashiori for resources. Possibly he was a greedy serpent god? Resource acquisition through divine invasion doesn’t sound shocking in Teyvat. However, there are also…
There are rumors in Genshin winds. They say that Celestia ordered Orobashi’s death. Celestia is a mysterious higher power in Genshin Impact. They operate behind the scenes. Did they see Orobashi as a threat? Was he rebelling? The truth lies deeper. It likely involves ancient celestial politics.
Where did Raiden attack Orobashi? We discussed this. Musoujin Gorge on Yashiori Island marks that battle. Ei’s strike not only killed Orobashi. It also reshaped the island. Musoujin Gorge remains as a scar. It stands as a testament to divine power and the end of a serpent god’s ambitions.
Orobashi’s background is fascinating. He wasn’t just a local monster. He was a Serpent God from Khaenri’ah, possibly older than Khaenri’ah itself. That’s deep lore. Despite aggressive actions towards Yashiori Island, Orobashi ruled with kindness. He was seen as a benevolent ruler of Watatsumi Island. He cared for his people’s prosperity. He is not a one-dimensional villain. Genshin Impact often avoids simple villains. Orobashi’s end was tragic, leaving a stormy island and many unanswered questions.
Domains and Resources: Exploring Yashiori’s Depths
Yashiori Island has more than lore and quests. It has domains and resources, too. First, let’s discuss domains. A notable one is the Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates. It has an intriguing name. What is the Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates? More importantly, how do you unlock it?
The Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates is a One-Time Domain in Inazuma. It is only available once, so make it count. The challenge is called “Tutelage: A Thousand Scrolls.” It combines puzzle-solving with combat. It provides rewards for those who can face its challenges.
Unlocking the domain takes some effort. First, you must get the Memento Lens. This item is part of the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual questline. If you haven’t completed it, do so soon. After acquiring the Memento Lens, go to Araumi’s underground labyrinth. Araumi is on Narukami Island, not Yashiori, so some travel is needed. Inside the labyrinth, use the Memento Lens to discover hidden paths. Follow the clues to solve puzzles. Eventually, you will unlock the Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates on Yashiori Island.
For resource gatherers, Yashiori Island is key for Crystal Marrow. Where to find Crystal Marrow? Look near Orobashi’s bones. Yes, you will be collecting resources from a fallen god. Genshin Impact has that edge. Crystal Marrow appears throughout Yashiori Island, especially by Orobashi’s remains. You can also find some Crystal Marrow at Tatarasuna, west of Mikage Furnace, but focus on Yashiori for this resource. Crystal Marrow helps in character ascension, so knowing where to find it matters.
So, here’s your guide to Yashiori Island. Its stormy past and tempestuous weather make it intriguing. With hidden domains and valuable resources, this place presents challenges. Complete Orobashi’s Legacy to clear the skies. Explore the remains of a fallen god and uncover hidden secrets in this corner of Inazuma. Now go conquer Yashiori Island, Traveler! Remember to bring an umbrella in case it rains.
