Nope and nobody knows.

Honkai players, is there any equivalent to event-limited gear and whether they ever get rerun?

Yes there are some event only gear and you get another chance on them latter. But then again, you can also farm the very old 5* chars and their consts in that game and I don't see this ever happening here.

Yeah Yoi’s tracking is insane when it wants to be. She will just aim straight into the air when the mech array launches itself. And firing beedo bolts at small dudes is amazing.

Hi!
So I've been losing my mind over an underground chamber near Narukami Shrine.
And I think I'm about ready to give up on it, since it doesn't really seem like there's anything nearby that would lead in there.

The chamber is here, near the broken bridge northwest of Kamisato Estate:


When looking in from above, there seems to be a lever down there, making this the exit.

So I've been searching up and down the area for an entryway and I haven't really been able to find much until a few days ago.
When you jump into the area below Narukami Shrine, the chamber for the final part of the sacred sakura cleansing quest and just below the ceiling, look in the direction of the underground chamber, you can spot this root:


When jumping over to the wall behind there and heading to the left for a bit, you can spot this grate:

It looks pretty shoddy because the lighting changes and turns dark when you get near it.

When you climb up to it, you find a spot that is boarded up, but you can look through there to spot a cage and a bunch of other stuff.


So at the very least, it seems like the underground chamber does connect there, since it would line up nicely. They even furnished it a bit.
I've tried climbing in using Geo Traveler/Zhongli/Venti and squeezing Sayu through some cracks, but I haven't really had much luck and that can't be intended anyways.

So I was wondering whether anyone has any clues as to what exactly this might be or whether any of you found anything. I've been searching to the west of this spot, figuring that it might be a longer underground tunnel, but so far haven't really found anything.
It doesn't really show up on the official map that has all the chests, so it's probably just in development or some leftovers from an unfinished area.

Been doing the Venti story quest finally and couldn't help but chuckle at some things like Little Timmies imaginary Ruin Guardian friend or the training dummy ladies imaginary friend being non-stoic faced Jean nodding in approval of her efforts. Also Paimon just saying the OoB line in response to talking to Timmie and its literally that exact sound clip. Definitely one of the funniest story quests I've done yet.

It does seem like an unused or future area.

Apparently it is possible to squeeze through that hole you found, but an easier way is to log out right above the grate switch. When you log back in, it should let you activate the switch and you can get in and wander around. That's how I got in.

Ah, thank you. That's good to know.
I've been spending a lot of time trying to figure out whether I just missed something, since, y'know, there might've been a chest with 10 whole primogens hidden in there. (!!!)

Yep, that works. Looks like the spot is meant for a future questline or something.

Oh nice, I'm glad the initial info about account linking was a little off... Prior to 2.0 I was reading up on it and it sounded like if you'd ever played on PSN you just couldn't link at all, but it turns out you just have to create a fresh mihoyo account to be able to do cross-save.

Tried it out today and it all worked great.

:words:

I bet it's linked to that grave(?) in the gorge to the northwest of the exit. There's a very significant-looking path of glowing flowers (plus some visibly hewn-out stairs) which leads to a mundane-looking sword stuck in the ground. I still haven't found a way to interact with it, and it's pretty close by. Seems likely there'll be a story quest there in the future.

Are you saying you managed to get your PC account linked to be playable on PSN? Because I've had this same issue where I tried the PS5 version once so I thought I was screwed from ever using my PC account on console.

No, other way around; I've never really played it on PC, only on PS. I just ignored the account I'd created for PC before that has barely any progress and created a new account for the linking.

According to their docs, if you're looking to go the other way and have logged into GI on PSN then you're SOL on that PSN account.

I don't think there's a fix for your case :/

Ayakachat, I swapped over from my R1 L80 Black Sword to an R2 L90 Anemona, and against non-frozen enemies it feels like a slight step down. Against frozen enemies I press a button and suddenly I'm in a barren white space collecting loot. No survivors.

I had randomly come across both of those places earlier today while electroculi hunting. From the presentation of the grave (especially the two electro crystal flies around) I'd be inclined to think it'll have a future story quest as well.

I've never touched it on PSN, though I'd like to if for no other reason than early Aloy and enabling remote play. After reading those docs I'm not sure if I'd break my entire account by doing whatever linking is involved.

This is like the whole changing your email address thing, which isn't possible if you signed up with a specific email address because you need a Mihoyo account... which you can't have without an email address. Everything to do with their account management reads like a five-man operation from the 90s.

you press it when you remember to but it basically doesn't exist. Instead think of her and Bennett as sharing an E.

I've only been playing for less than a week, but what's worked wonders for me is Xiangling E, wait a second for the bear to shoot flame once, then immediately switch to Sucrose and hitting her E, massive pyro swirl for everyone :supaburn:

Not very relevant for most Inazuma content sadly, but if you're running an anemo support it's a lot easier to position enemies such that Guoba can consistently connect with attacks. I think he can maybe even succesfully fire into Venti's tornado? But in general he is very much an unnecessary cherry on top of the sundae that is Pyronado.

You should be fine. The first time you open Genshin on PS there's a one-time option to enter your account info to link, after which point it auto-creates a new account and can never be linked to your existing account again. (Q4 on the linked page)

So the worst case should be "welp I can't link my PSN account anymore" as opposed to "well poo poo my progress is gone" - I get the feeling they went this route instead of allowing overriding explicitly to prevent losing progress by someone hitting the wrong button.

I alternated it with warping to a point that some sakura blooms should be near, then running around and getting those and after a few minutes popping back in for a respawn. It breaks up the two worst grinds at least.

Extremely same. I wish the numbers and mechanics remotely supported overload teams to be on par with vape/melt, they’re way more fun.

Overload works pretty well with Yanfei+Fischl. I have an EM sands on Yanfei and it gets her enough EM for overloads around 6-7k with pretty good frequency. The stagger also helps keep squishy Yanfei safe.

Thundering Fury Bennett is another option if you want to use overload. I ran it as one of my teams in the current abyss and it's more than capable of getting all the stars.

I was playing with a guy that had a higher level/talent/constellation Bennett than mine but he didn't build for HP his heals were crap. Like he'd never heal me past 70% because he didn't heal in big enough chunks. My Bennett will take me straight to full like a real bro.

Ehhh, I have an EM sands on Yanfei too but I'm really not seeing it. I got rid of the full crimson witch because Yanfei just wasn't working with Fischl as well as I'd hoped. I use Yanfei with XQ now.

I just realized Yanfei is a great fisher with her charged attack.

You never need more than 70% if you just kill the badguys dead fast enough.

I run Bennett with a shield char pretty often anyway because it kinda sucks when you spend half the length of his ult dodging or getting bonked around by attacks, in which case you really only need the healing for a top-up.
