Activating the full map of Enkanomiya in Genshin Impact is a crucial step in fully exploring this mysterious underwater realm. Unlike other areas, Enkanomiya’s map isn’t immediately revealed upon entering. To unlock the complete map, you need to interact with an engraved map on a wall after completing the initial dialogue upon arriving. Specifically, you must “Investigate” the inscription on this wall. This will then reveal the entire Enkanomiya region on your world map. This step is often overlooked, leaving players with a partial view and missing out on the wealth of exploration and secrets the area has to offer.
