It’s Time To Add Iansan To Your Lineup With The Launch Of Genshin Impact’s “Day Of The Flame’s Return” Update

The war in Natlan may finally be over after hundreds of years, but that doesn’t mean the Traveler is done there yet. With the release of the Version 4.4 update in Genshin Impact today, Natlan’s story continues with the Pyro Archon preparing for a new type of Pilgramage – and the possible return of Natlan’s first-ever archon.

To access the new story, players need to be adventure rank 28 or higher and have completed “Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame” as well as “Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn”.

The action RPG’s update opens up a new area in Natlan, as well as the ability to finally do reputation quests for the Collective of Plenty clan. A new boss enemy is available as well, the Lava Dragon Statue. This is a creature with two forms, and it’s probably not a huge surprise that being a Natlan creature, it generates a lot of heat. Players will need to use their abilities wisely to take advantage of the creature’s shape-shifting. Other new enemies include the Furnace Shell Mountain Weasel and the Thundering Wayov Manifestation, among others.

The update also introduces a new Domain, the Derelict Masonry Dock, where players will find the remains of a bygone era. With a new domain comes plenty of rewards, and the update introduces new equipment and artifact sets.

Of course, a new update means new playable characters. Fans of Iansan will be happy to know that he’s finally available. He’s an Electro support character who provides buffs for on-field characters – very much in line with his fitness expert persona. The other character, Varesa, is a DPS character specializing in Plunging Attacks with high-speed movement. She, too, is an Electro character. Personality-wise, she’s an aspiring hero who spends her time as the orchard manager for the Collective of Plenty.

The update also includes changes to Genius Invocation, the Imaginarium Theater, and the Spiral Abyss. Of course, new recipes are available as well. Full details are available in the patch notes on the Genshin Impact site.
