Genshin Impact's Saurian Sojourn event offers players a unique cooperative gameplay experience where Travelers work alongside different saurian companions to overcome various environmental challenges. Released as part of Version 6.1, this puzzle-based event has quickly become a fan favorite due to its innovative mechanics and rewarding gameplay.

What is Saurian Sojourn?

Saurian Sojourn is a special event where you can freely switch between your character and different saurian companions to navigate through five distinct stages. Each stage features unique environmental hazards and puzzles that require coordination between the Traveler and their saurian partner to complete successfully.

The event is hosted by Kweku, who serves as the Chief Instructor, alongside Komina (the on-site doctor) and Assistant Instructor Yehyeh. Despite Kweku's initially suspicious-sounding plans about "infiltrating" various groups in Sumeru, it turns out he's simply organizing this fun, educational event about saurian interactions.

Saurian Tier List

Based on player feedback and utility across different stages, here's how the saurian companions rank:

1. Iktomisaurus - S Tier: Exceptional vertical mobility and unique ability to manipulate Phlogiston Engravings

2. Tepetlisaurus - A Tier: Excellent wall-climbing ability and can toggle hazards

3. Yumkasaurus - A Tier: Versatile grappling and projectile manipulation abilities

4. Tatankasaurus - B Tier: Powerful charging attacks but limited mobility options

5. Koholasaurus - B Tier: Good water navigation but situational utility
