New mechanisms in Genshin Impact's Enkanomiya

1) Of Sun and Moon

Enkanomiya is hidden from direct sunlight. As a result, there is no difference between day and night in this environment. Instead, there is an alternating time cycle between Whitenight and Evernight.

Switching between the two reveals different appearances of mechanisms and environments in Enkanomiya.

Throughout Enkanomiya, there is a special type of mechanism that users can unlock after completing specified quests. These mechanisms are linked to the Dainichi Mikoshi and can be utilized to change the day/night cycle.

However, players need to have the Golden Brindle of Enkanomiya to activate the mechanism and switch between Evernight and Whitenight.

2) Daises of Day and Night

The appearance of the Daises of Day and Night mechanism differs in the Whitenight and Evernight states. During their respective 'day' and 'night' times, Daises of Day and Daises of Night will be filled up.

Gamers need to get near the mechanism to operate and activate them. However, when they transition between Evernight and Whitenight, their states will be reset.

3) Triangular Mechanisms

These triangular mechanisms can be seen at Enkanomiya. Attacks within a certain distance can be used to activate them. Unfortunately, the mechanism will reset after a while.

If players discover a mechanism that is currently damaged and switch to Evernight, it will automatically repair itself.

Travelers may come upon objects known as Key Sigils when exploring Enkanomiya. There are a total of five Key Sigils, just like in the image above. Each of them can release the seal with a matching image, just as one key fits one lock.

The mini-map will show the location of Key Sigils near players, who can follow the location of these markers to find them.

6) Ghostfish

Ghostfish in Enkanomiya have a unique ability. When users glide in the middle of a school of Ghostfish, they will surround the character, allowing them to glide upwards continuously. However, gamers must remember that the extra lift will be gone if they find themselves outside the group.
