Can You Explore Fontaine Without Completing Sumeru Region in Genshin Impact?
The short answer is yes, you can explore the Fontaine region in Genshin Impact without completing Sumeru or even the Inazuma region Archon Quests.
You can explore the Fontaine region by simply completing Mondstadt's Archon Quest Prologue Act III: Song of the Dragon and Freedom.
- If you're looking to upgrade your gaming experience in Genshin Impact and other games, we recommend using a Razer Kishi mobile game controller .
It is one of the early game quests you can reach and complete in around one or two hours, even if you start a new game.
This makes the Fontaine region and version 4.0 update an excellent entry point for new players who have always wanted to play Genshin Impact.
Or returning players who have yet to return to the game, fearing they might have to complete a backlog of quests to experience Fontaine.
That being said, while you can explore the Fontaine region by just completing Genshin Impact's prologue, to experience Fontaine's story, which is Chapter IV Archon Quests, you must complete Chapter 3 last quest, "Caribert," in Sumeru.
Meanwhile, suppose you want to tackle the challenges, activities, world quests, and other things in the Fontaine region in Genshin Impact. In that case, you don't need to complete the Sumeru region Archon Quests.
So if you want to experience the Fontaine region and everything it offers fully, we recommend you clear all backlog Archon Quests before the arrival of the version 4.0 update.
On the other hand, if you just want to explore the scenic landscapes and the underwater biome that the Fontaine region will bring to the table with Genshin Impact 4.0 update, there's no need for clearing the Archon Quests, may it be Sumeru's or Inazuma's.
