Genshin Impact developers have finally launched version 4.0 of this title, and players can now explore submerged regions in Fontaine. The highly anticipated underwater diving mechanics has been a great inclusion in this patch, adding more depth to exploration. The Land of Justice is currently a huge unknown map where players can discover tons of new resources and lore.

Moreover, Fontaine houses underwater caverns that lead to hidden locations. The submerged areas can be pretty hard to find if you don't know where to look. For that reason, this article will cover everything you need to know and do to discover all the underwater caverns in Genshin Impact.


All three Fontaine underwater caverns in Genshin Impact 4.0 update

Genshin Impact officials have already mentioned Fontaine's increasing water levels through a recent Special Program and game lore. Parts of the Land of Justice have been swallowed by rising water, becoming explorable underwater regions.

This game currently has seven cavern locations. Do note each of these places is filled with unparalleled scenery and useful in-game resources. You might also encounter local legends or trigger even hidden world quests. Given below are brief details about all six locations in Genshin Impact.
