Mastering the Horn of Heroes: My Genshin Impact Natlan Adventure

I've been exploring Natlan for weeks now, and let me tell you, this region has completely blown my expectations out of the water. The cultural diversity across the six tribes is something I haven't seen in any other game before. Each tribe in Natlan has its own unique identity and relationship with the Saurian companions that inhabit the region, creating a rich tapestry of traditions that feels incredibly authentic.

Just yesterday, I spent hours with the Collective of Plenty tribe, and their way of life fascinated me. These guys live right next to volcanic activity! At first, I thought they were crazy, but it turns out they're actually brilliant. The volcanic minerals make their land incredibly fertile, resulting in some of the most bountiful agriculture in all of Teyvat. Food is central to their culture, and so is wrestling—a combination that makes perfect sense when you think about it. Strong bodies need good nutrition, after all!

What caught my attention most were the battle horns scattered around their tribal area. These aren't just decorative; they're functional and deeply tied to the tribe's traditions. As someone who loves hunting for achievements, I immediately recognized an opportunity.

Sounding the Horn of Heroes: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're like me and want to unlock the "Proof of a Hero" achievement, you'll need to sound these horns in a specific sequence. Here's exactly how I did it:

1. First, you need to unlock the Collective of Plenty's reputation. This is non-negotiable.

2. Teleport to the obsidian totem of the tribe.

3. Head north past the wrestling ring until you reach the edge of the area.

4. You'll find four battle horns waiting to be blown.

The tricky part is getting the sequence right. Facing the cliff (when walking north from the obsidian totem), you need to sound them in this order:

• Bottom left

• Upper right

• Bottom right

• Upper left

I messed up my first few attempts because I wasn't positioned correctly. Make sure you're facing the cliff properly! When I finally got it right, the achievement popped immediately, and I felt that rush of satisfaction that only Genshin Impact can deliver.

The Six Tribes of Natlan: A Cultural Mosaic

While the Collective of Plenty has become my favorite tribe, I've spent time with all six during my exploration. Each one has left an impression on me:

1. The Children of the Echoes - These folks have adapted to life underneath mountain cliffs, creating intricate burrow systems. Their connection to the echoing caverns shapes their music and communication.

2. The Scions of the Canopy - Living high above the ground, they've built stunning treehouses that blend with the natural canopy. Their Yumkasaurus companions help them navigate the heights with ease.

3. The People of the Springs - With settlements built around water sources, they've developed a deep connection to the Koholasaurus. Their water purification techniques are something I wish we had in real life!

4. The Flower-Feather Clan - Their artistic expression through feather crafting and floral arrangements is breathtaking. I spent hours just photographing their decorations.

5. The Masters of the Night-Wind - These mysterious folks understand the night winds of Natlan better than anyone. Their navigation skills are unmatched.

6. The Collective of Plenty - As I've mentioned, they're the agricultural powerhouse with a love for good food and wrestling.

People Also Ask

How do I unlock all six tribes in Natlan?

You'll naturally discover each tribe as you progress through the Natlan Archon Quest in Version 5.6. However, to fully unlock their areas and reputation systems, you'll need to complete specific World Quests for each tribe.

Which tribe has the best rewards in Genshin Impact 5.6?

In my experience, the Collective of Plenty offers the most practical rewards, including unique recipes that provide massive attack buffs. The Masters of the Night-Wind, however, provide exceptional gliding tools that make exploration much easier.

Are there other horn-related achievements in Natlan?

Yes! Each tribe has its own musical instrument-related achievement. The Children of the Echoes have echo chambers, the Scions of the Canopy have wind chimes, and so on. They all follow similar patterns of activation but with different instruments.

Beyond the Horns: What Makes Natlan Special

What I find most impressive about Natlan is how HoYoverse has created distinct cultural identities that feel grounded in the environment. The Collective of Plenty wouldn't be who they are without the volcanic fertility. The Children of the Echoes would have different customs if they didn't live in caverns.

The relationship between environment, Saurian companions, and human adaptation creates a believable world that keeps me coming back. It's not just about collecting achievements—though that's certainly part of my motivation. It's about experiencing a world that feels alive and responsive to its own internal logic.

As I continue my journey through Natlan in 2025, I can't help but wonder: how will these tribal identities evolve as the story progresses? Will we see inter-tribal conflicts emerge? Could the volcanic activity that benefits the Collective of Plenty become a threat? The narrative possibilities are as vast as Natlan itself, and that's what keeps me logging in day after day.
