Since HoYoverse releasedGenshin Impactin 2020, players have explored the vast open landscapes to discover every nook and cranny between completing important objectives and events. OneGenshin Impactfan decided to climb one of the tallest rocks in Inazuma in order to reach an Electroculus at the top and something unexpected happened as a result.
Reddit user Siegeholm recently posted a clip of theirGenshin Impactadventure in which they are climbing a notably tall rock near the middle of Inazuma. Inazuma is one of the primary regions inGenshin Impact, and it is a zone that many players will navigate intently at first as they progress through a number of quests. Atop the massive rock in Siegeholm’s video is one of severalElectroculus in Inazumaand upon collecting the floating purple orb, Siegeholm is struck by lightning in their video.

Siegeholm’s clip begins with the player taking their final jumps up the aforementioned rock to reach its pinnacle and the Electroculus at the top. Rain falls rapidly from the sky in Siegeholm’s video as theGenshin Impactplayer pauses to observe the landscape around them while it is occasionally lit up by lightning. Two lightning bolts narrowly miss Siegeholm as they look around the zone at the vast color pallet used to createGenshin Impact’sInazumabefore one bolt finally connects with the player and the rock beneath their feet crumbles.
A small blue field of energy gathers around Siegeholm in theGenshin Impactclip as they are warned of the upcoming lightning bolt, but the player remains in place and soon plummets to the ground below. Siegeholm’sGenshin Impactcharacter Xiao, an Anemo hero, is immediately turned around to face the tall rock they were once on top of after being struck by the lightning. Because of the ragdoll mechanics ofGenshin Impact, Siegeholm is unable to recover from the blast and Xiao is met with an unavoidable death upon hitting the surface of Inazuma.
While manyGenshin Impactfans have expressed their enthusiasm at Siegeholm’s expense, others have given the newGenshin Impactplayer some tips for overcoming obstacles in the game. These players particularly note the versatility ofGenshin Impact’s Barbaraat Constellation 6 level that would have resulted in the hero shaking off such lightning bolts compared to how Xiao reacts in Siegeholm’s clip. SomeGenshin Impactfans also stated that the storm of Inazuma is eternal, so other players may be able to recreate the fall experienced by Siegeholm after lingering on the tall stone if they choose to.
