“Whisper Beneath the Waves” is more than a quest—it’s an atmospheric journey through the heart of Genshin Impact’s evolving world. With its haunting setting, intricate puzzles, and rich lore, it perfectly encapsulates the magic of exploration that keeps players hooked.

A New Chapter in Teyvat: Welcome to Nod-Krai

The vast world of Teyvat expands once again with the Version Luna I update, introducing players to Nod-Krai—a shadowy, mysterious region shrouded in watery ruins and history. Among the many additions, one quest in particular has captured the community’s imagination: “Whisper Beneath the Waves.”
More than a side adventure, this quest forms a core part of the “East of the Moon, West of the Sun” chain, offering an emotional story, clever puzzles, and valuable rewards for those who take the plunge.

The Siren Call of the Eye of Kratti

Your journey begins in the melancholic Eye of Kratti, where the ghostly remnants of two figures beckon you toward the unknown. They speak cryptically about the “Proof of the Cognoscenti”—an ancient relic hidden deep below.
Using the new Kuuvahki power, you’ll interact with a strange plant to launch a stone that shatters part of a shipwreck. This opens a gateway into the Beneath the Forsaken Sea—a submerged labyrinth filled with puzzles, relics, and eerie beauty.
This descent perfectly captures Luna I’s theme: a world layered with secrets waiting to be unearthed.

Puzzles, Powers, and Hidden Lore

Inside the depths, Whisper Beneath the Waves shines through its innovative mechanics. You’ll encounter environmental challenges involving Bipolar and Unipolar energy systems, forcing creative use of the Kuuvahki Dewdrops to clear blocked paths.
But it’s not just about mechanics—this quest also dives deep into lore. Echoes of forgotten civilizations, mysterious voices, and encounters with characters like Ilmari help unravel the history of Nod-Krai and its connection to Teyvat’s ancient mysteries.
