Genshin Impact has finally released its long-anticipated Version 2.0 update, bringing a whole new region ‘Inazuma’ and tons of fresh new content. Adventurers are diving back into the world of Teyvat looking to explore the vast new mystical region of Inazuma.

While players might have been excited to swiftly dive into the new content, they may find that the region is still locked. If you happen to be one of those players who want to venture into the new region, fret not, we are here to help.

We here at The Nerd Stash will tell you how to unlock the stunning new region of Inazuma and jump headfirst into the expansive new content.

How to Unlock the New Inazuma Region in Genshin Impact

To unlock Inazuma, you must first reach Adventurer Rank level 30 before being allowed to proceed. Achieving AR level 30 can take some time if you are a newer player or simply have been enjoying the scenery more than the grind. You can quickly raise your Adventurer Rank by completing daily commissions, exploration, and completing various quests throughout the world.

Once AR level 30 is achieved, you must have completed the ‘Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves’ main scenario quest, which serves as the prologue to Chapter 2 of the ‘Archon Quests’. Once you complete the prologue, they will receive the next Archon Quest entitled  ‘The Immortal God and the Eternal Euthymia’. Playing through this main scenario quest will allow you to unlock the new region in Genshin Impact – Inazuma.

Inazuma offers many new vistas, secrets, quests, enemies, and material farming to sink your time into. We have an essential guide on how to farm Sakura Blossoms, a brand new material used for ascending new and future characters.
