Genshin Impact 4.2 update contents: New location, Furina, reruns, events, and more
1) New location and monsters
Trending
Genshin Impact 4.2 will be introducing new locations. Players will most likely see two new Statues alongside approximately 20 Teleport Waypoints. Typically, there will be countless chests and hidden puzzles for additional Primogems, allowing players to save up for newer characters.
The names of the new locations are known to be Erinnyes Forest and Morte Region. Additionally, one of the oldest towers in the Deadlands, visible from afar in the previous updates, will become accessible in 4.2. Lastly, it seems that HoYoverse will also deploy the final piece in "The Adventure of Narzissenkreuz" in World Quest.
Most of the monsters within these new locations will include a bunch of trash mobs alongside a field boss for Furina's ascension materials. Here's a list of all significant monsters scheduled for 4.2:
- All-devouring Narwhal (weekly trounce domain)
- Hydro Tulpa (field boss)
- Ptakhur (mini field boss)
2) Banners
As mentioned earlier, players will find the Hydro Archon and Charlotte as new characters in 4.2, with three reruns. Here is a list of all banners in both phases, along with the respective 4-stars:
- First phase: Furina (new) and Baizhu (rerun) as 5 stars. Charlotte (new), Beidou, and Collei as 4 stars.
- Second phase: Ayato and Cyno (both reruns) as 5 stars. Xiangling, Kirara, and Kuki Shinobu as 4 stars.
Regarding the new characters, it is important to note that Furina will be a 5-star Sword unit with a Hydro element, alongside Charlotte, being a rare case of a 4-star Cryo Catalyst user.
3) Events
The new regions of Erinnyes will bring in a unique event tied to it as well. Genshin Impact players will need to team up with Freminet and deal with "Devilautins." The main objective of this event is to collect materials, upgrade Freminet's penguin, and defeat enemies.
Other events are as follows:
- Fabulous Fungus Frenzy
- Fontaine photography event
Additional details on events will be revealed with Genshin Impact's official livestream at a later date.
