Fontaine is the fifth nation the Traveler and Paimon travel to during the main story of Genshin Impact, but anybody who has completed Mondstadt's Archon Quests can head to the Nation of Justice whenever they like.

Added during version 4.0, Fontaine has all of the usual bells and whistles like new Archon Quests, Reputation system, Commissions, World Quests, domains, and bosses - but Fontaine's unique addition is its new underwater exploration mechanic.

Our Fontaine guide breaks down everything you need to know about the Hydro nation's surface and waters in Genshin Impact, from a list of all Fontaine characters and Fontaine Archon Quests, to links to all of our guides related to Fontaine. So check back regularly for new additions!

To aid with navigating the water and land, a multi-layer map feature debuted in version 4.0 with Fontaine.

There are also additions that we've come to expect from each new region in Genshin Impact, such as new Reputation rewards, fishing spots, Shrine of Depths, Sigil exchange at the Fountain of Lucine, and lots of new Teleport Waypoints and Statues of Seven. Any reguar feature or system available in the other regions is available in Fontaine as well.
