Genshin Impact (PC/PS5/PS4/NSW/iOS) - Open-World Action RPG - 2020

So for those that don't know, there's a new theory in regards to treasure chests in this game. Supposedly chests do not respawn but what happens is that whenever you rank up, not clear if it's world level or just per Adventure Rank, new chests spawn. There is some weight to this because I've seen a chest yesterday right next to a puzzle I previously cleared that also required me to kill enemies before I could open it. There's no way I'd miss that chest since it's so blatantly obvious it's there. So this basically means, don't bother doing chests routes or looking for respawned chests. If you see a new chest, you either missed it completely or it's an actual new chest that spawned.

Seems most plausible to me. I finished Mondstad on 10/13 and Liyue on 10/11, and I've used video guides to find things I missed on my sector sweeps of the maps; since then, I've found practically no chests and have been at 973/470 Liyue/Mond for at least a week now.

Mondstadt supposedly only has 470 chests as of right now so you're capped there but Liyue has up to 1035 chests so you still got a couple hidden out there.

Maybe I'll do another sector search when I hit AR45 or something, but wherever they are, they don't show up very well, spamming ES when I run/fly around.

Ice Ice baby.

Just tried World 5 fight and it's definitely much harder than any of the other world boss fights (always was), but I also had zero ice on it, and I was only L70, with just Diluc ascended, and L70 weapons, normal artifacts, mostly non-leveled talents. I actually feel it's closer to what a boss fight should be, instead of the flowers/Hypostasis.

Ice definitely helps, but most F2P players are only going to have Kaeya- so one slot's going to be wasted on him. Another slot is going to be wasted on some kind of ranged DD for the hawks (which Kaeya can't even freeze but at least they have low HP)- i.e. Amber or Lisa for unlucky F2P players, neither of which are attractive options to be using resources on. If you have Fischl or Qiqi, then obviously you're going to be having a drastically easier experience.

That's not really my main complaint about the fight, though- since it is, technically, workable with F2P options (and is how I end up having to do it). My real complaints are:

1) Certain enemy combinations near the end can be particularly awful
2) The fuckers like to run out into the water, making them mostly unreachable to melee hits (and my Lisa is really only geared enough to take out the low-HP hawks, not so much the pigs)
3) The AoE circles are hopelessly inaccurate.
4) Occasionally the fight just straight up breaks, though that can occasionally be in your favor (I've failed before, then come back to find the leyline branch already there with the option of opening it available. Water pets were still present and aggressive).

My issue with the Oceanid is that the fight itself has too much downtime, the fight itself is fairly easy with cryo and electro characters.

[Prothescar]

Yeah I have never had an issue with the difficulty of the water boss at all. Just takes the longest out of them all (besides maybe Geo).

Just curious, are you using atk food and potions?

I'll pop an ATK and Defense food, for the last half of weekly world bosses. I'll also use it in L80 dungeons co-op, for an easier time, as catalyst users seem to be in low demand. I've never had a need to use a potion of any sorts, but they are there and I don't think most remember they exist.

UNQ47W7J Adventure Invitation. I'm on PS4.

Do we have any idea who could be the 4*s on the next character banner? *crossing fingers for Chong*

[Lokus]

Ningguang was on the leaked banner with Zhongli but it was just her and not part of a group of 3 as has been the norm. She's probably guaranteed to be on there either way.

^ maining Ning right now so yes pls
