Can You Still Unlock Enkanomiya After the Event?

Yes, absolutely! Enkanomiya is a permanent addition to Genshin Impact and is not tied to a limited-time event. This means that even if you missed its initial release or are a new player starting today, you can still unlock and explore this fascinating underwater region. While the initial release of Enkanomiya was part of a larger update with associated events, the region itself remains accessible as long as you meet the necessary requirements. Let’s delve into what those requirements are and answer some common questions players have about Enkanomiya.

Unlocking Enkanomiya: The Requirements

To access Enkanomiya, you’ll need to fulfill a few specific prerequisites:

  • Adventure Rank 30 or Above: Your account must be at least Adventure Rank 30. This is a fundamental requirement for unlocking many regions in Genshin Impact, ensuring that you have a basic grasp of the game’s mechanics.
  • Completion of Archon Quest “Chapter II: Act III – Omnipresence Over Mortals”: This pivotal Archon Quest is part of the main storyline, set in Inazuma. Completing it is crucial, as it unlocks the pathway to subsequent world quests necessary for Enkanomiya. It involves the climactic confrontation with the Raiden Shogun and the abolishment of the Vision Hunt Decree.
  • Completion of the World Quest Line “The Moon-Bathed Deep”: This Inazuma world quest chain is your gateway to the depths. It involves exploring Watatsumi Island and unraveling the mystery of its unique environment. It will ultimately lead you towards the entrance to Enkanomiya.
  • Completion of the World Quest “The Still Water’s Flow”: This is a relatively short world quest that directly connects the Moon-Bathed Deep storyline with Enkanomiya, effectively “opening the door” to the region.

Once you have met these requirements, the quest to unlock Enkanomiya will appear in your quest log. Follow it and you’ll soon find yourself descending into the ancient, underwater realm.

Exploring Enkanomiya

Once you’re in Enkanomiya, you’ll notice a stark contrast from the main Teyvat map. The region is a vast, interconnected cave system, with unique mechanics involving the manipulation of day and night (Whitenight and Evernight). Enkanomiya offers a compelling narrative, challenging puzzles, and new enemy types, ensuring a fresh gameplay experience. Remember to explore thoroughly to uncover the secrets and rewards hidden throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Enkanomiya

Here are some of the most common questions players have about Enkanomiya, providing you with a comprehensive guide:

1. Is Enkanomiya part of Inazuma?

Yes, Enkanomiya is geographically located under Watatsumi Island in Inazuma. Though it feels quite separate due to its unique environment and history, it is considered part of the Inazuma region.

2. Is Enkanomiya part of the Abyss?

While Enkanomiya is not directly part of the Abyss, it shares a deep connection with it.

The area is also often considered to be part of the Dark Sea which surrounds Teyvat.

3. How do I get the full Enkanomiya map?

The Enkanomiya map is revealed progressively as you progress through the main questline within the region.

4. How do I change between Whitenight and Evernight in Enkanomiya?

You’ll need to unlock special light mechanisms scattered throughout the region. These mechanisms are linked to the Dainichi Mikoshi Tower. Completing the “Entrance to Tokoyo” quest is essential for gaining the ability to change between Whitenight and Evernight, and this mechanism is essential for solving many Enkanomiya puzzles.

5. How do I leave Enkanomiya?

Unlike regular areas, you cannot simply walk out of Enkanomiya. You must use the teleport function via the map to leave the area. Select the star icon on the bottom right of the map, choose “Inazuma”, and then zoom out and in to any other part of the world.
