In Genshin Impact, what is Elemental Sight?
Elemental Sight is a Genshin Impact Exploration ability. It enables players to see Elemental Trails, locate items with which they can interact, hidden enemies, and more. When you use Elemental Sight, a white light line will appear from your character and briefly cover the entire screen, highlighting objects and enemies affected by an element with their respective colour for a short period of time.
While Elemental Sight is only active for a short period of time, it can be used repeatedly. Elemental Sight’s range will vary depending on your location and graphics settings (better graphics will result in a higher range).
In Genshin Impact, here are some pointers on how to use Elemental Sight.
Using Elemental Sights, players will be able to complete many quests in Genshin Impact quickly.
Elemental Sight, for example, is extremely useful in Bounties for tracking down the target. It is also required for players to locate Seelie in Seelie Garden. Using Elemental Sight frequently while exploring the world will allow you to discover more hidden chests. Elemental Sights can be used to reach the first Cluster of Wind in the Time And Wind quest. It also highlights characters with whom you can interact.
