The Chasm details

The Chasm is the next area that Genshin Impact players will be able to explore.

The Chasm is a dark and mysterious place, which makes it all the more thrilling to explore.

Hidden in the mountains of Liyue, its depths reach out across the nation. The Chasm was formed after a celestial body crashed into the earth, with a large mine eventually being formed around it. 

The location is said to be filled with strange stones and mysterious ores, while the soil and vegetation around the area have distinctive colors. The underground mines are the most treacherous areas, and what’s more, down in The Chasm’s depths, unique fluorescent plants can be found.

The Chasm is located in Liyue.

Esther, an NPC located in Dragonspine notes that the Chasm’s climate is different from Liyue: “I’ve seen similar occurrences elsewhere in the past, such as The Chasm in Liyue, so there may be some similarities in their respective terrain features.”

The ancient Geo elemental dragon, Azhdaha, also famously dwelled within the Chasm before finding his way to the Trounce Domain Beneath the Dragon-Queller. And given it has 14 different subareas, it’s no small map update.
