Pneuma And Ousia Mechanic In Genshin ImpactCharacters With Pneuma And Ousia Arkhe In Genshin Impact
Each region in Genshin Impact introduces unique mechanics, some more challenging than others. Mondstadt and Liyue's puzzles are relatively easy compared to the intricate ones found in Inazuma and Sumeru. In Sumeru, players will even be restricted from accessing a significant part of the map if they do not prioritize the adventure with Aranara, as her music is necessary to solve many of the puzzles there.
In Genshin Impact 4.0, Fontaine introduces the Pneumousia mechanic, which involves utilizing Pneuma and Ousia energy, as well as the Arkhe mechanic. While the system itself is simple, it adds a fresh dynamic to combat that requires players to have Fontaine characters in their party.
Pneuma And Ousia Mechanic In Genshin Impact
Pneuma and Ousia are energy that exists in Genshin Impact Fontaine. Players can use it to either solve puzzles or overload enemies.
Pneumousia Puzzle
Pneumousia puzzles comprise objects that possess either Pneuma or Ousia energy. The presence of Yellow/White indicates Pneuma energy, while Purple/Black indicates Ousia energy. To restore balance in these objects, players must strike them with the energy type opposite to their own. Consequently, a Purple/Black object ought to be hit with Pneuma energy, and vice versa. This action will either shatter the object in question or transform its color into Mint/Green.
This will solve the puzzle and eventually unlock chests for the Travelers. Some notable Pneumousia Puzzles would be the Mysterious Core devices in Genshin Impact.
Enemies With Pneumousia
Enemies from Fontaine sometimes possess Pneumousia energy, which is a common trait among the Clockwork Meka robots. To identify their energy, players can refer to the color hint. A yellow/white hue indicates the presence of Pneuma, while a purple/black hue indicates the presence of Ousia. By attacking these Genshin Impact enemies with energy opposite to theirs, players can overload them and temporarily incapacitate them.
