Forging Destiny: Natlan's Unique Weapons in Genshin Impact's 2025 Update

The scorching winds of Natlan have brought with them a new arsenal of forgeable weapons in Genshin Impact's latest 2025 update, offering players fresh tools to conquer Teyvat's challenges. Unlike the labyrinthine quests required for some regions' blueprints, Natlan's weapon schematics are refreshingly accessible, like finding an oasis in a desert of complexity.

Finding the Flame's Blacksmith

The journey to these weapons begins after completing the 'Natlan! A New Adventure' quest in Archon Quest Chapter V: Act I. This unlocks access to Alom, Natlan's master blacksmith, whose forge burns like the determined heart of a speedrunner facing their final boss. Located in the southeast corner of the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, Alom's establishment, The Salutary Furnace, stands as a beacon for adventurers seeking to enhance their arsenal.

Similar to Fontaine's Estelle, Alom sells Forging Blueprints that require various materials native to Natlan. These blueprints are the keys that unlock the potential of unique weapons forged in the fires of the pyro nation. Each blueprint requires 10 Condessence Crystals and 20 region-specific materials that can only be gathered from Natlan's wild landscapes.

Blueprint Materials and Costs

The acquisition of these blueprints is straightforward but requires diligent gathering. Each schematic demands 10 Condessence Crystals and 10 each of two Natlan-specific materials. These materials—Grainfruit, Spinel Fruit, Embercore Flower, Cacahuatl, and Candlecap Mushroom—are scattered throughout Natlan like stars in a midnight sky, waiting to be collected by keen-eyed adventurers.

For collectors aiming to acquire all five Forging Blueprints, the shopping list is substantial:

• Condessence Crystal × 50

• Grainfruit × 20

• Spinel Fruit × 20

• Embercore Flower × 20

• Cacahuatl × 20

• Candlecap Mushroom × 20

The Arsenal of Natlan

Natlan's forgeable weapons stand out in Teyvat's armory like exotic flowers in a common garden, offering rare combinations of stats and abilities that cater to diverse playstyles.

The collection includes:

1. Flute of Ezpitzal (Sword) - A melody of defense in steel form

2. Footprint of the Rainbow (Polearm) - Reaching skyward with defensive might

3. Ring of Yaxche (Catalyst) - Channeling life force into offensive power

4. Earth Shaker (Claymore) - Enhancing elemental skills with every swing

5. Chain Breaker (Bow) - Harmonizing with team diversity for greater strength

What makes these weapons particularly interesting is their uncommon stat combinations. Both the Flute of Ezpitzal and Footprint of the Rainbow feature DEF as their secondary stat—a rarity for their weapon types. The Ring of Yaxche converts the wielder's HP into Normal Attack damage, while the Earth Shaker focuses on boosting Elemental Skill damage. The Chain Breaker rewards diverse team compositions with ATK bonuses and Elemental Mastery.

Crafting Process

To forge these weapons, adventurers need to gather:

• 1 corresponding Borderland Billet

• 50 Condessence Crystals

• 50 White Iron Chunks

Borderland Billets can be obtained from weekly bosses or converted from Northlander and Midlander Billets at the Crafting Bench.

This catalyst is particularly valuable for HP-scaling catalyst users, converting vitality into offensive capability.

This bow rewards diverse team compositions, making it ideal for players who enjoy mixing elements and regions in their parties.

Strategic Considerations

These weapons offer exciting possibilities for character builds in 2025's meta. The defensive options provided by the Flute of Ezpitzal and Footprint of the Rainbow complement characters who scale with DEF, while the Ring of Yaxche opens new possibilities for HP-focused catalyst users.

The Earth Shaker's emphasis on Pyro reactions makes it particularly valuable in the current meta, where Pyro continues to be one of the most versatile elements. Meanwhile, the Chain Breaker encourages experimentation with diverse team compositions, rewarding players who break away from mono-element or mono-region teams.

For players looking to optimize their arsenal in 2025, Natlan's forgeable weapons offer accessible yet powerful options that can significantly enhance performance across various content types. Whether you're tackling the Spiral Abyss or exploring Teyvat's newest domains, these weapons provide valuable alternatives to their gacha counterparts.

The journey to obtain these weapons is as straightforward as their power is undeniable—a rare combination in Genshin Impact that makes them treasures worth pursuing for every Traveler.
