Genshin Impact Update 3.0 - All You Need to Know
The all-new Genshin Impact update is here, and players are flocking in to enjoy the game with everything new that has been added to the game. If you have not played Genshin Impact for a while now, then this is the time to hop back in because lots of new stuff has been added.
The Genshin Impact 3.0 update also includes several quality-of-life changes that will make the gaming experience a whole lot better. Here is our take on everything you need to know about the new Genshin Impact 3.0 update.
Sumeru - The Brand New Region
First, we will get to experience a brand new region, which is called Sumeru. This region is a great addition for players that are somewhat bored exploring all the existing zones and regions. Sumeru will help bring a breath of fresh air into the game, allowing players to spend tons more hours on exploration.
Several new places have been added to the Sumeru region. The new places coming to the game with the 3.0 update include Lokapala Jungle, Ashavan Realm, Ardravi Valley, Vissudha Field, Avidya Forest, and Vanarana.
Dendro - New Element
The next big change coming to Genshin Impact with the 3.0 update is the brand new element called Dendro. This new element brings tons of new types of attacks to the game with different types of effects on the enemies.
Dendro also brings new animations with a nice green color. The best part about this new element is that it can be combined with other element types to trigger some unique effects on enemies.
New Animals
Yup, that's right, with the Genshin Impact 3.0 update, new animals have been added to the game. There are a total of eight new animals, including Spinocrocodile, Dusk Bird, Rishboland Tiger, Shaggy Sumpter Beast, Forest Tree Frog, Red Tailed Lizard, Dendro Crystalfly, and Shroomboar.
All of these animals will have a different reaction to the player. They might be passive unless you attack them, or they might be aggressive. They also give you a different amount of meat when you kill them, which is mostly around two or three.
A Whopping List Of New Enemies
Along with the new animals that are added to the game, Genshin Impact also got tons of new enemies, 21 to be exact. These enemies include the Jadeplume Terrorshroom, Electro Regisvine, Floating Dendro Fungus, Whirling Electro Fungus, Whirling Cryo Fungus, Eremite Ravenbeak Halberdier, Eremite Sunfrost, Ruin Drake, Winged Dendrshroom, Stretchy Ameno Fungus, and more. We are super excited to see these enemies with their new character models and attack animations.
