The "Prologue: Act 1 - The Outlander Who Caught the Wind" in Genshin Impact serves as both the introduction to the game's world and a tutorial for its mechanics. Here is a detailed walkthrough of this chapter:
Bird's Eye View
1.Start: After you choose your Traveler (Aether or Lumine), you begin your journey in Starfell Valley.
2.Follow Paimon: She leads you through a path where you learn basic controls like moving, climbing, and jumping.
3.Swim: You'll need to swim to an island in Starfell Lake, where you'll encounter your first enemy, a slime. This introduces combat basics.
4.Combat Tutorial: Defeat the slime to learn about attacking, dodging, and elemental reactions.
Unexpected Power
After defeating the slime, you unlock your Traveler's Elemental Skill. Use it on another slime to see the effect. Continue towards Mondstadt, gathering materials and learning about the world's resources along the way.
Forest Rendezvous
You encounter Amber, a member of the Knights of Favonius, who gives you a Wind Glider. This introduces gliding mechanics. Glide down from a cliff to learn how to control your flight, land, and navigate the wind currents.
Wind-Riding Knight
Amber joins your team, and you switch to her to use the bow, introducing ranged combat. Use Amber's Pyro abilities to shoot down slimes, learning about elemental reactions and charged attacks.
Going Upon the Breeze
Continue towards Mondstadt, using gliding to reach new areas. Enter the city, where you learn about interacting with NPCs, shops, and the significance of Mondstadt in the story.
City of Freedom
Talk to Jean, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, at the city fountain, who directs you to the Knights' Headquarters. This leads to dialogue with other key characters like Kaeya and Lisa, setting up future story arcs.
Dragon Storm
You encounter Stormterror (Dvalin) in the sky. This is not a real battle but a tutorial on flying and shooting with the Wind Glider. Glide back to Mondstadt after this encounter, concluding this part of the prologue.
