A Strange Ambience in Genshin's New Empty Sumeru Area.. II Genshin Impact 

The sound you heard if you dobe the world quest at the new place you will know which voice it came from 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

It seems it changed? I don’t hear the sound

@@inos9i heard it 2 days ago

Also the small new city is weird. Especially the people. Or was that really there already? The city is a bit more to the East

probably a place for a new event, that got me curious too.

Seriously, that feeling never goes away here...

maybe its because, like, she did? for like a year or somn. still, disappointed that they just created this par tof the map, as just a connection between sumeru and that sea part

There is nothing. This is the first time i got an area to 100% before the Banner changed. And im not a speedrunner. Its just that empty.

This may very well _be_ the Backrooms of Genshin Impact.

@@alunsinus_primewhat is a back room?

​@catsNplanets The Backrooms is sorta like a creepypasta, it is an area that you drop in after clipping out of reality, it's an endless, empty room with strange entities lurking around

@@crepe_loaf those broken areas in games always creep me out!

It’s just an area with very limited stuff, simple as that.

Yup, I noticed it too, forgot to update this but when doing the quest I was like: "Ah, so that's where the noise comes from."

I also thought about Scylla, hmmm

Who or what is Scylla?

A whale​@@jeremyg2236

​@@jeremyg2236 big fish, very friendly

they did something about not having a road and not worth going to the harbor itself because of monsters

it is most likely focus to natlan rather than the sumeru city. If you speculate natlan's location based on NPCs dialogues, you can conclude that it is easier for them to go to natlan rather than go through harsh terrain to sumeru city.

Roads in the overworld in general is all over the place, with some leading to nowhere. The more they expanded the map, the less the regions feel like actual countries people live in. Just compare Monstadt and Liyue from 1.0 and then the rest. Special mention to Sumeru.

@@Jardrinyea mondstadt and liyue feel real like it could be a real place (obviously in a fictional way cause of the hilichurls and stuff but like) and then sumeru makes no sense, like does everyone just use those grappling hook thingys to get around? And theres no roads so nobody can even go anywhere, and also the main city is built on a giant tree, like how does that work

​@@Froggycolouring Same way a God can create Wikipedia sponsored Google Glasses through the use of magic. It just works.

This area is empty probably because of rising water levels from Fontaine

​@@meangengar8053it's likely empty because the devs ran out of time for the patch, they did the same with the liyue-dragonspine-mondstadt juncture before revisiting it in later patches

😂😂

Delulu person. It’s the whale, dambass

ril they aint just gonna leave this shi empty Unless theyll add the contents here next update because they eanna limit the amount of primos this patch

Damn we travellers are seriously high on copium

I def think we’re on copium but i like to think maybe a future event will impact this area and then it’ll drastically change to something that’ll need to be explored. Who knows,,,, if I sniff some extra drugs, I could say that a part of the future war against celestia could talk place here after it’s in been affected. And if I overdose, I could say that imagine celestia landing here.

Hoyo have done this before and never updated it later. A small area of Sumeru was added when Chenyu Vale released and it is exactly the same kind of empty. People didn't notice because it was small enough to be overlooked. The first time I noticed was when they released the chasm and "Lumberpick Valley" a very strange area that feels similar (although sparse, but not completely empty). It comes off as lazy compared to the richness of their regular areas. In reality I think it's a choice that they find regrettable, but probably has to do with adding more content to an already established area. That comes with changes to achievement counters, adding sigils, exploration% and a bunch of other things that might not work too well in their opinion. If you noticed the two chests that they did add in this empty area, they don't belong to any region and don't give any sigils.

it does, when you go back to that area you can use the movement boost from scylla and it makes that noise

​@@musicaltarrasqueunderneath that water of course it the new exploration area where the whale is so its commonh sense

Bigfoot in genshin 😱😱

Louchness monster

​@@mrandreson9452 CJ mom ghost in genshin confirmed?!??!

A UFO HAS SPAWNED IN GENSHIN? tbh, considering that celestia is basically a big ahh flying city, i wpuldnt be surprised

Mew is definitely under the truck we need Strength to move.

You'll appreciate it even more when every story quest and every archon quest is done traumatizing you and you start farming for characters like wanderer and kuki shinobu (the spectres are so traumatizing, my hands are shaking just thinking about how I still need their drops for not just talents but for kirara too)

@@TheShadowMaven Inazuma creeps me out in general 😭 yes, the overall design of the nation is amazing but most areas just have this melancholic atmosphere and I DON'T LIKE IT! I'm more of a peaceful mondstadt, forest side of sumeru, overworld of fontaine kind of girl lol.

Delulu person spotted

@@yaaaan6763I love creepy intense areas. I hope they add more of those in Natlan

Skill issue

same😭😭😭😭 this was such a relieving and validating moment.. like it’s okay girl we are not having a psychotic breakdown

Can't they just make it so that you can't play the apocalyptic quest until you have 100% cleared the content in the area? They can already stop you from doing a quest until you have cleared another quest with the same NPC

I really hope this is why. If so, that’d be so cool. I’d love to see an archon quest alter the world like that.

An entire ship goes missing in Liyue after the Archon quest. It has two common chests on it. I don't think they care. Although it could very well be that the artistic direction changed since then and they won't change the landscape like that again -

@@farixguardian Wait what, where?!

​@@frenchrevenge6406sure thing buddy, I'll happily wait to get all chests and shiny shit Just to go on with the story, no problem at all, 100% isn't a problem. Be serious dude, I play since 1.0 and I don't think I have any area at 100%, some people Just don't care about that

Even the fish in the remuria quests looks a lot like the peimordial whale. Could be anything tho...

​@@oddpotato4038it is the whale the giant exploration quest under the seas beneath there

Sounds like a good place for them to stick the kids buried by The Doctor.

I hope not, it makes the area more mysterious to compensate for it's nothingness and it kind of makes sense considering it's fairly close to Petrichor

Gurl no i think its not

My take as well, probably a glitch and will be patched later.

​@@napsterblock they'll mostly patch it. That French named tunnel in the desert (can't remember the name) area when 4.0 was released had Mondstadt combat music but was patched weeks later.

Literally how can something like that even happen

I think it was in mondstadt or underground chasm😭

Could it be the abyss?

I feel like I've heard it a bunch but idk where

I've heard it randomly too! I think in Mondstadt

It might be the random noise on monstadt's cavern road to the gorge

That noise is the same one used for Scylla's sfx whenever you see him while roaming Remuria. He also makes that noise whenever you see him swimming outside the windows in Petrichor's underground ruins. This isn't a deliberately subtle game design, it's an unintentional bug. There are times when people should appreciate the game's subtleties, but this is not one of those times.

Who is Scylla??!?!?!?!

​@@frenchrevenge6406 A large friendly fish in the Sea of Bygone Eras

IF they don't add in phase II of this patch with Cyno's Second Story Quest or 4.7 , I wish they abandon the idea of making temporary maps for x.8 patches and actually patch this region and focus their events there.

@@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person that makes sense btw

@@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person they never added map content within a patch, always on release and at that time only. They also never updated previously-released maps unless the bordering region got added. I'm afraid we'll be left with an empty map.

​@@yuzzo92There was a case when they added one new chest in Dragonspine in 1.5, but yeah, they don't usually do that.

btw scylla spawning and making that loud sound when you're in this area is likely a bug but knowing hoyoverse they're probably just going to mute the sound if you're overground or something lol

why not put paimon barrier

@@ncuxonam1. To me it wouldn't make sense if the "blank" area is surrounded 360 degrees by land and water, and it is also a small area rather than a large map border or the sea in inazuma, like for example the sea's paimon border is similar to that of a diagonal line but here they would need to make the paimon border that of a perimeter of an oval + there is nothing within that oval that is important to the player quest or farming wise to be revisiting it later as if it is an expansion 2. It would look bad from afar if they left literally nothing there but the default low res and threw a paimon border over it, that would take away from the immersion

Honestly i suppose it could be related to a dainsleif quest
