1) Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods

• 2-Piece: ATK +18%.
• 4-Piece: Get a 20% Geo DMG bonus for 10s after using an elemental skill. The above effect will be 150% stronger while under a shield from the Crystallize reaction. This extra boost goes away 1 second after the shield is lost.

2) Song of Days Past

• 2-Piece: Healing Bonus +15%.
• 4-Piece: When the character who is equipping heals a party member, the Yearning effect will last for 6s and keep track of how much healing was done (including extra healing). The Yearning effect will change into the Waves of Days Past effect when the time is up: When a member of your current party hits an enemy with a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Plunging Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst, 8% of the total healing done by the Yearning effect will be added to the damage done. The Waves of Days Past effect wears off after 10 seconds or five uses. The Yearning effect can heal up to 15,000 damage, and only one copy can exist at a time. However, it can record the damage done by multiple characters who are wearing it. This effect can still happen when characters are equipped and on watch.

New Quests

In Genshin Impact 4.3, a new story quest called Rosa Multiflora Chapter will be added to Navia for good. You must have at least Adventure Rank 40 and finish the Fontaine part of the Archon Quest before you can start the story quest.

Travelers who reach the required Adventure Rank and complete the prerequisite quests will be able to use a Story Key to unlock Navia’s Story Quest “Rosa Multiflora Chapter.”:
