The long-term observations have also pointed out how many in the community are having problems completing certain quest-related challenges. This puts a halt to the player's adventure progression, which can impact the overall gameplay experience.

Players seem to face the most difficulty in the following quests:

To resolve this, Genshin Impact's World Level Adjustment feature will be available once they reach World Level 3.

In addition, when a traveler's entire party is defeated, a "Lower Difficulty" button will appear on the screen to assist them in determining a suitable combat difficulty.
