Genshin Impact 4.2 Archon Quest

Archon Quest Chapter IV

Prepare for an exciting new chapter in the Genshin Impact storyline with the release of version 4.2. The Archon quest titled “Masquerate of the Guilty” holds a promise of an engaging narrative, but it’s not without hints of peril. The trailer for this quest subtly suggests that Furina may be facing a dire fate. The quest is expected to involve Arllecchino, Neuvillette, Traveler, and Navia, offering players a rich and immersive experience.

New Bosses

Genshin Impact 4.2 is going to add a new monthly boss called Childe who is connected to the game’s history and story. This mysterious Whale boss will have more than one form, just like other weekly bosses. It looks a lot like Childe in his Foul Legacy shape. There will also be a figure that looks like the seven Knights from The chasm, which will make the fights even more exciting.
