Gesine: Whereas for me...

Gesine: Do I really have to train for another three to five years like my teacher said? But it'll be totally humiliating if I go back empty-handed like this...
Paimon: Aww, it's probably just because we have more experience!
Paimon: Yeah!
Paimon: Yeah! If you can tell the enemy is way above your pay grade, it's better to get out while you still can.
Gesine: I see... Now that's experience talking!

Gesine: Yes...
Gesine: Have you heard of the martial arts of Liyue?
Gesine: *sigh* And no sooner had I left the city than I found my way blocked by monsters.
Gesine: Really?
Paimon: Not really! We're just traveling across all the nations of Teyvat for...
Gesine: Wow! I never imagined I'd be able to work with an adventurer as accomplished as yourself...
Gesine: Let me lead the way then.
Gesine: Wow! To have such a legendary colleague looking after me...
Gesine: In that case, allow me to thank you in advance for putting up with me, for a while at least!
Gesine: Sorry!
Gesine: No, that I didn't.
Gesine: Yes...
Gesine: Oh, right!
Gesine: Ah!
Gesine's journey highlights the importance of experience and training in the world of Genshin Impact. She shares a story about her teacher:
Gesine: When he first became an Adventurer, he ran into some Mitachurls out in the wild.
Gesine: He was so ashamed, he decided to train his combat skills to the absolute max before he went out again.
Gesine: Yeah!
As the adventure progresses, the party approaches Dihua Marsh, showcasing the scenic beauty of Liyue.
Gesine takes out some Dandelion Seeds from her pack, placing them on her palm.
Gesine: Yeah!
Gesine: That's Dihua Marsh up ahead, right? It's so beautiful!

Gesine: There don't seem to be any suitable restaurants nearby...
Paimon: Woo-hoo!
Gesine: I've heard that Liyue cuisine has a holistic focus on appearance, smell, and taste!
Paimon: Wowowow, this is delicious too, and this, and that...
Gesine expresses her gratitude for the assistance she received during her travels.
Gesine: Thank you so much for everything you've done!
Gesine: Yeah!
Paimon: Gesine said Liyue Harbor was just up ahead.
Prior to Dragonspine's release in Version 1.2, players traveling to Liyue from Mondstadt were obliged to head west from Dawn Winery, as the Dragonspine area was Out of Bounds. This led them to either Stone Gate as intended or the slopes across the lake southwest of Dawn Winery, which did not pose significant challenges. However, after Dragonspine's release, the map lost this clear bottleneck to Liyue. As the safe route to Liyue through Stone Gate is not readily apparent while the map is still dark, many players ended up struggling through Dragonspine in order to reach Liyue after Version 1.2 released.
