RESIN UP


5
Resin is a
currency that
limits the rewards
you get from certain
activities, and it
fully recharges once
a day. However, it
does cap out, so you
should spend it
straight away, at
least in the early
stages.

LEVEL PLAYING FIELD


7
Even if you quickly develop favourites,
make sure you level your whole party
evenly. That’s because dungeons have
restrictions based on your party’s average
level, so some of your weaker companions
may be a liability in late-stage dungeons.

STAY FOCUSED


1
While you’ll be tempted to discover
every inch of miHoYo’s Breath of the
Wild-style world, mix your exploration with
questing. That’ll ensure you don’t miss out
on crucial tools like the wind glider to help
you find more secrets and resources.

TAKE IT SLOW


2
There is an option to activate Teleport
Waypoints to fast travel between, but I
recommend against it. Only do so if you’re
absolutely certain you’ve covered the area
you’re skipping: useful materials, hidden
chests and collectibles are everywhere.

CHATTERBOX


3
Talk to as many NPCs as possible.
Rather than spouting useless
dialogue, many peripheral characters are
worth speaking to. Some may secretly have
quests to offer you, or they may offer you
the chance to buy rare items.

SCAVENGER HUNT


4
See any floating blue orbs? These are
Anemoculus, and you should trade as
many as you can with the Statue of the
Seven in exchange for handy boons. Find
them all with our Anemoculus map guide in
the ‘Vital Links’ section.

If you get
stuck on a
puzzle, use one of
your 99 map
markers so you can
easily return later.
You may find
completing a few
more main missions
gives you an ability
you need to get that
elusive treasure.
