There are hidden details that enrichGenshin Impact,which players continue to share with each other to discover ’s world of Teyvat. OneGenshin Impactfan recently noticed that there are several noticeable differences in each Catalyst weapon featured in the game.
Genshin ImpactCatalysts are one of the game’s weapon types, and each of them has a corresponding element and Vision. Reddit user Dabian111 has observed several details in Catalysts while playing as the Geo character Ningguang. Each Catalyst in the post focuses on different illustrations and text inside, with Ascension playing a role in how the Catalyst appears. The pages of the tome that is the Catalyst aren’t the only thing that varies, as Dabian111 shows that reaching Ascension changes theGenshin Impactweapon in other ways.

The firstGenshin ImpactCatalystthat Dabian111 shows off is The Widsith, which has a left page that features a colorless bunch of grapes with some text, while the page next to it is full of writing. InGenshin Impact’s story, The Widsith once belonged to a member of the Wanderer’s Troupe who fought against the Lawrence clan and failed which made it possible for players to acquire it. The Ascended version of The Widsith fills in the grapes and their leaves with appropriately purple and green colors and the majority of the Catalyst’s cover turns from blue to brown.
The Mappa Mare Catalyst inGenshin Impactincludes a brighter cover with a compass on the front cover and two small scrolls on the outsides of the open book. Showing the Catalyst from two different angles, Dabian111 is able to show what appears to be a map of Teyvat on the left page and writing on the other page similar to The Widsith. In theGenshin Impactlore, The Mappa Mare contains the courage, knowledge, and faith of pioneering explorers and the included map reflects that.
Genshin Impact’s Favonius Codex Catalyst contains the collective knowledge of Mondstadt, and it once aptly belonged to the Knights of Favonius. Unlike the other Catalysts Dabian111 focuses on, this one features an illustration of a mark typically associated withGenshin Impact’s Knights of Favoniuson the right side and text on the opposite page. This weapon also includes a quill that changes color that’s inserted next to the mark that also converts to a different symbol if theGenshin Impactplayer is Ascended.
Developers at miHoYo have made efforts to ensure the Catalysts reflect theGenshin Impactlore associated with them, which is more noticeable when observing the weapons closely. Other weirddetails spotted inGenshin Impactrecently include players being able to pinball off cliff walls or swim through the sky, hidden buffs, and sudden changes in weather patterns upon entering a city. These important Catalyst lore details may giveGenshin Impactfans more to appreciate as they explore and learn more about the world of Teyvat.
