Secret Island and "Time and the Wind" Quest
One notable discovery is the Genshin Impact Secret Island, which does not appear on the in-game map. This island features a challenging fight, treasure chests, and a significant questline. The quest recommends a party level of 40 before attempting, as lower-level parties may struggle.
Reaching the Secret Island
The Secret Island is located directly East from the initial spawn beach near Starfell Lake. To reach it, players must use a character with Cryo abilities to create an ice bridge across the water. This process can take 5-10 minutes with one Cryo character, but can be expedited with multiple Cryo characters or by using Anemo abilities to spread the ice shelf.
"Time and the Wind" Quest
Upon interacting with a sundial on the Secret Island, players will initiate the "Time and the Wind" quest. This quest has a recommended level of 40 and tasks players with uncovering the island's secret. Rewards for completing the quest include:
- 500x AEP
- 60x Primogems
- 4x Hero's Wit
- 6x Mystic Enhancement Ore
- 60,000x Mora
