Genshin Impact's Greatness of Fat Quest: Natlan's Body Positivity Revolution
Explore Genshin Impact's vibrant Natlan volcanic quest celebrating body diversity with unconventional challenges that challenge fitness norms and promote inclusivity.
In the volcanic landscapes of Natlan, Genshin Impact's Version 5.6 hides one of its most delightfully unconventional quests – a celebration of chubbiness that challenges Teyvat's fitness norms. When travelers stumble upon Suriqui balancing precariously near Remnants of Tetenanco, they're thrust into a philosophical showdown about body diversity. This warrior-in-training passionately argues that lean muscle isn't the ultimate survival solution, claiming that "a little extra padding" provides better insulation against Natlan's extreme weather and superior protection during combat. Her unorthodox perspective kicks off the "Sing, Ho, for the Greatness of Fat!" questline, blending social commentary with dino-smashing chaos.
The Tatankasaurus Jar-Smashing Challenge
Skeptical travelers get firsthand experience when Suriqui dares them to embrace bulkiness through practical demonstration. The task? Transform into the mighty Tatankasaurus and obliterate 40 ceramic jars within a tight time limit near the volcanic slopes. This rampage isn't just mindless destruction – it's a visceral argument for mass-based combat superiority.
-
Location Tip: Teleport to northern waypoint, climb southern slope
-
Strategy: Use charge attacks in wide arcs to maximize jar-breaking efficiency
-
Hidden Mechanic: Higher collision damage when sprinting downhill
Success rewards an exquisite chest and Suriqui's triumphant "I-told-you-so" speech, but the quest throws a curveball – players must wait for daily reset to continue. This clever design forces reflection on the absurdity while building anticipation.
Agility Epiphany with Illimani
Returning next day reveals Suriqui replaced by fellow advocate Illimani, who expands the thesis brilliantly: "Chubbiness isn't just armor – it's aerodynamic!" He introduces agility as fat's secret advantage, claiming properly distributed mass enables superior dodging and speed. His challenge flips the script: collect elemental orbs while avoiding pottery destruction.
This precision test requires:
-
Careful Tatankasaurus movement control
-
Strategic orb collection routes
-
Environmental awareness (slopes affect momentum)
Mistake | Consequence |
---|---|
Brushing pots | Restarts section |
Missing orbs | Time penalty |
Rushing | Guaranteed failure |
Upon completion, Suriqui reappears for a triumphant trio discussion where cultural perceptions about fitness get deliciously dismantled. The quest concludes with the Heavyweight Contender achievement – a badge of honor celebrating body diversity.
The Bigger Picture: Fat Philosophy in Teyvat
This quest exemplifies Hoyoverse's genius in weaving social themes into gameplay. Beyond the slapstick dino action lies sharp commentary about:
-
Society's obsession with "ideal" bodies 🏋️♂️
-
How environment shapes physical ideals
-
Unconventional advantages in diversity
Personally? I'm craving more quests that flip combat tropes – imagine pyro characters proving cold environments demand insulation, or cryo users advocating siesta culture. Natlan's tribal diversity offers perfect soil for such storytelling. Maybe Version 5.7 will feature "Ode to Nappers" or "Ballad of Big Boned". Until then, let's raise a sticky honey roast to Suriqui – Teyvat's unexpected body positivity pioneer who turned jar-smashing into revolution. 🍖🔥
