Genshin Impact's 4.0 Fontaine Update Unleashes Epic Relic Records Adventure

The year 2025 has arrived, and the world of Teyvat continues to expand in ways that would make even the Archons gasp in disbelief! Genshin Impact's monumental 4.0 patch has transformed the gaming landscape, introducing the magnificent Hydro nation of Fontaine with such grandeur that players are still discovering new wonders two years later. The Relic Records: Creations of The Hydro Nation event stands as a testament to HoYoverse's commitment to delivering content that's more thrilling than a rollercoaster ride through Celestia!

🌸 The Forest's Greenery: Flower Power Frenzy!

Picture this: our intrepid traveler embarks on a botanical adventure that would make even the most seasoned florist weep with joy! The first chapter of this epic journey demands the collection of Fontaine's most exquisite blooms, each more beautiful than the last. The requirements are nothing short of spectacular:

• Six Marcotte flowers - These crimson beauties grow in such abundance they practically carpet the landscape

• Five Rainbow Rose flowers - Nature's rainbow captured in petal form

• Nine Lumidouce Bell flowers - Heavenly blue blossoms that chime with hydro energy

Each successful collection rewards adventurers with 25 Primogems, 20,000 Mora, and two Hero's Wit - rewards so generous they'd make even the wealthiest Snezhnayan merchant blush!

Marcotte Flower Madness

These fiery red flowers are scattered throughout Fontaine like confetti at a Liyue festival! While they appear everywhere, the mountainous path behind Marcotte Station contains enough blooms to supply every florist in Teyvat. The sheer density of flowers in this area is so overwhelming that players often find themselves swimming in petals!

Rainbow Rose Hunt

Unlike their wild-growing cousins, Rainbow Roses prefer civilization's touch. These elusive beauties cluster around cottages and the magnificent Fountain of Lucine, their vibrant colors creating a spectacle that rivals even Inazuma's cherry blossoms. Finding them feels like discovering hidden treasure in plain sight!

Lumidouce Bell Bonanza

These aquatic wonders thrive in Fontaine's humid environments, clustering around waterfalls and shorelines like groupies at a bard's concert. The area north of the Court of Fontaine contains such an astonishing concentration of Lumidouce Bells that players can complete their collection in mere minutes!

️ Brave The Waves: Underwater Warfare!

Prepare for combat so exhilarating it'll make your Vision pulse with excitement! The second phase plunges players into aquatic battles that redefine underwater combat in gaming history. The targets are as diverse as the seven nations themselves:

The rewards are equally magnificent: 25 Primogems, Fontaine's latest weapon ascension materials, and five Mystic Enhancement Ores per goal!

The ultimate pro-tip? Head northeast of the Elton Trench Waypoint where enemies gather in such numbers that using any Xenocromatic Creature Ability feels like conducting an underwater symphony of destruction! What's truly miraculous is that defeating Clockwork Meka and Fontemer Aberrants here simultaneously completes the normal underwater opponent requirement.

🌊 Ripples On An Azure Sea: Deep-Sea Delights!

Dive deeper into Fontaine's mysteries with an underwater foraging adventure that makes pearl diving look like child's play! This aquatic treasure hunt requires:

• Five Tidalgas - Floating wonders that glow with hydro energy

• Five Beryl Conches - Ancient shells whispering secrets of the deep

• Nine Romaritime flowers - Flowers that bloom in both sea and sky

Each collection rewards explorers with 25 Primogems, 20,000 Mora, and 2 Hero's Wit - treasures worthy of any ocean-dwelling sovereign!

Tidalgas cluster around the Teleport Waypoint northwest of the Pale Forgotten Glory domain in such abundance they create an underwater galaxy of light. Beryl Conches prefer more structured environments, clinging to ruined towers and ancient walls like historical artifacts waiting to be discovered.

Romaritime flowers carpet the ocean floor southwest of Thalatta Submarine Canyon in such numbers that harvesting them feels like gathering stars from the night sky. The underwater landscapes are so breathtaking that players often forget they're playing a game and not exploring actual oceanic wonders!

💥 Thornbreaker, Weedwhacker: Elite Enemy Elimination!

This isn't your average monster hunt - this is elite combat that would challenge even the Fatui Harbingers! The targets are formidable foes that require strategy and skill:

🔥 Tainted Hydro Phantasms - These watery wraiths travel in pairs around Fontaine's shores, particularly near Romaritime Harbor. Their coordinated attacks require precision and timing to overcome!

💀 Breacher Primus - Abyssal creatures that swarm their prey with terrifying efficiency. Found in Elynas, these monsters attack in groups that would overwhelm unprepared adventurers!

The rewards? 25 Primogems per goal, plus Fontaine's premium weapon ascension materials and five Mystic Enhancement Ores - loot so valuable it would make the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing reconsider her business strategies!

Constancy Of Change: Dance of the Mechanical Masters!

Prepare for the most spectacular boss battle since Osial attacked Liyue Harbor! The Icewind Suite performances feature two mechanical marvels that redefine what it means to be a world boss. Coppelia and Coppelius move with such grace and precision that their combat feels like watching ballet with deadly consequences!

The key to victory lies in understanding their elemental alignments: Coppelia's Ousia energy requires Pneuma counters, while Coppelius's Pneuma shield can be shattered with Lynette's elemental ability or standard elemental reactions. The battle is so beautifully choreographed that defeating them feels less like combat and more like participating in an artistic masterpiece!

👑 Shattered Armor: The Emperor's Last Stand!

The grand finale pits travelers against the Emperor of Fire and Iron in a battle so epic it deserves its own opera! This fiery behemoth presents two unique challenges that test every aspect of a player's combat prowess:

1. Disable the Twin Molten Horns - These crystalline weak points can be targeted with ranged attacks or melee strikes when the emperor buries itself

2. Achieve total victory - Overcoming this magnificent beast requires timing, strategy, and raw power

The Relic Records event stands as one of Genshin Impact's most comprehensive and rewarding adventures in 2025, offering challenges that cater to every playstyle while showering participants with rewards that would make any adventurer's journey through Teyvat significantly smoother. Fontaine has truly raised the bar for what players can expect from live-service gaming events!
