Can We Go To Inazuma With Kaeya?
The short answer is no, you cannot bring Kaeya to Inazuma before completing the necessary Archon Quests. The game mechanics restrict access to Inazuma until the storyline progresses to a point where the Traveler officially gains permission and passage to the Electro nation. While Kaeya is a playable character and can be included in your party, he does not circumvent the game’s narrative locks on accessing new regions. You must progress through the Archon Questline to unlock Inazuma, regardless of which characters are in your party.
Unlocking Inazuma: A Narrative Gate
The world of Teyvat is vast and interconnected, but its regions aren’t freely accessible from the start. Genshin Impact utilizes its storyline, particularly the Archon Quests, to guide players through its world and gradually unlock new areas. Inazuma, being a nation shrouded in mystery and facing internal conflict, is deliberately locked behind a significant portion of the main storyline.
Specifically, you’ll need to complete the Liyue Archon Quests and begin the Inazuma Archon Quest to gain access. This involves several steps, including interacting with key characters like Beidou, and fulfilling specific quest objectives that contribute to the narrative. Simply having Kaeya in your party will not bypass these requirements. The game’s design is structured to ensure players experience the story in a specific order, preserving the narrative impact and preventing early access to regions designed for higher Adventure Rank players.
Why Kaeya Doesn’t Change the Rules
Kaeya’s character and abilities, although valuable in combat and exploration, are irrelevant to the overarching narrative lock on Inazuma. The game treats region access as a milestone tied to your Adventure Rank and progress in the Archon Quests, not as a function of which characters you own. Therefore, regardless of Kaeya’s presence in your team, the game will prevent you from accessing Inazuma until you have met the necessary story requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Inazuma and Kaeya
Here are some common questions related to bringing Kaeya to Inazuma, addressed to clarify any misconceptions and provide helpful information:
Q1: Can I use Kaeya’s Cryo abilities to create an ice bridge to Inazuma?
Unfortunately, no. Even if you tried to use Kaeya’s Cryo abilities to freeze the water and create an ice bridge towards Inazuma, the game includes mechanics that prevent you from going too far from the accessible areas. You’ll encounter invisible barriers or rapidly thawing ice that makes crossing the ocean impossible before the questline allows it.
Q2: Does having Kaeya at a high constellation level help me get to Inazuma earlier?
No, constellation levels do not affect your ability to access new regions. Constellations enhance Kaeya’s abilities, but they do not circumvent the narrative gatekeeping implemented by the game.
Q3: If I use a glitch or exploit, can I bring Kaeya to Inazuma before unlocking it?
Attempting to use glitches or exploits to bypass the intended game progression is strongly discouraged. It can lead to unintended consequences, such as bugs, glitches, or even account penalties. Furthermore, even if you manage to get Kaeya to Inazuma this way, many of the region’s features and quests will likely be unavailable or broken without completing the proper prerequisites.
Q4: Will Kaeya have unique dialogue or interactions in Inazuma if I bring him there?
If you were somehow able to bypass the game’s restrictions, it’s unlikely that Kaeya would have specific, unique dialogue tied to Inazuma that would otherwise be unavailable. Character-specific dialogue generally triggers during specific quests or interactions.
Q5: What Adventure Rank do I need to be to start the Inazuma Archon Quest?
You typically need to be at least Adventure Rank 30 to begin the quest that leads to Inazuma. However, always refer to the latest in-game information, as requirements may be subject to change in future updates.
Q6: Where do I start the Inazuma Archon Questline?
After completing the Liyue Archon Quests, you will receive a new quest that directs you towards Beidou and her ship, the Alcor. This is the starting point for the journey to Inazuma.
Q7: Do I need to complete all the side quests in Liyue before going to Inazuma?
No, completing all side quests in Liyue is not a mandatory requirement to progress to Inazuma. Focus on the Archon Quests and any prerequisite quests they may indicate.
Q8: Can I use a Teleport Waypoint to instantly travel to Inazuma if I haven’t unlocked it yet?
No, Teleport Waypoints in Inazuma will remain inactive and unavailable until you have officially unlocked the region through the Archon Quests.
Q9: Is there a specific time of day or weather condition that allows access to Inazuma earlier?
No, time of day or weather conditions have no impact on your ability to access Inazuma. Region access is solely determined by your progress in the Archon Quests.
Q10: Does Kaeya’s backstory relate to Inazuma in any way?
While Kaeya’s backstory is shrouded in mystery and hints at connections to the fallen nation of Khaenri’ah, there are no direct indications that he has any specific ties or relevance to Inazuma.
Q11: Will future updates change the requirements for accessing Inazuma?
It is always possible that future updates could introduce changes to the game’s world or questlines. However, it is unlikely that the core requirement of completing specific Archon Quests to unlock new regions will be significantly altered.
Q12: Does having a higher World Level affect my ability to unlock Inazuma?
Your World Level does not directly impact your ability to unlock Inazuma. World Level primarily affects the difficulty of enemies and the rewards you receive, but it does not bypass the Archon Quest requirements for region access.
Q13: Can I visit a friend’s Inazuma if they have unlocked it, even if I haven’t?
Yes, you can visit a friend’s Inazuma world if they have unlocked it, even if you haven’t completed the necessary quests in your own game. However, you won’t be able to progress through Inazuma’s Archon Quests or unlock its features in your own world until you meet the prerequisites. You also won’t be able to access quests or storylines gated behind specific Adventure Ranks if you do not meet the requirement on your own account.
Q14: What are the rewards for completing the Inazuma Archon Quests?
Completing the Inazuma Archon Quests grants significant rewards, including Adventure Rank experience, Primogems, Mora, character ascension materials, talent level-up materials, and access to new areas, characters, and quests within Inazuma.
Q15: If I already unlocked Inazuma on one account, do I need to do it again on a new account?
Yes, if you create a new account, you will need to complete the necessary Archon Quests again to unlock Inazuma. Region access is tied to individual account progress and cannot be transferred between accounts.
In conclusion, while Kaeya is a valuable asset to your team, he cannot circumvent the game’s narrative requirements for accessing Inazuma. Focus on completing the Archon Quests and raising your Adventure Rank to unlock the Electro nation and experience its unique story and challenges. Enjoy the journey!
