Phlogiston in Natlan. The unusual substance, manifested in various forms, is a unique game mechanic that players will encounter while exploring the region. By absorbing, moving and releasing a concentrated form of fire, you will be able to complete puzzles and explore the territory of the kingdom.
In this guide, we'll tell you how Phlogiston works, as well as how to assemble it and use it to solve puzzles.
What is Phlogiston
Phlogiston is a special type of thermal high-temperature energy, widespread and found in various forms only in the territory of Natlan. The concentrated Pyro element, existing in almost all states of aggregation, acts like pneumonia in Fontaine and is used both to solve most puzzles in the kingdom and by local residents for everyday purposes.
The traveler, interacting with various sources of this energy, will be able to accumulate it and subsequently use and release it at certain points to activate mechanisms and other game mechanics.
How to find out the charge level of phlogiston
The current phlogiston charge level is displayed at the bottom of the screen, over HP active character. The number of energy points received or spent will be indicated by a bar on the scale. While controlling the saurian, the charge is shown to the right of the creature.
Phlogiston is a common resource for the entire squad and can be used, among other things, instead of Night Spirit points.
How to get Phlogiston
To collect phlogiston, you must touch or destroy any energy source: a floating wisp, special fruits and plants, a phlogiston ore deposit, and other containers that can hold the elemental substance.
Like a charge Luminous Stone Adjuvant, energy can also be replenished from static objects that the combustion of phlogiston, as well as when catching phlogiston aphids, which usually live next to large veins of fire ore.

- activating the flaming seed and collecting flaming phlogiston seeds;

- destruction of heaps of phlogiston stones and detonation of phlogiston powder barrels;

How to use Phlogiston in Genshin Impact
In order to use phlogiston, it is necessary to find special places to interact with this energy. Such interactive “points” can be either special mechanisms, saurian creatures, or even graffiti.
Possessing a soul into a saurian
Some wild saurians found in the territory of Natlan, or special monuments, can be possessed using mysterious powers that operate only in the Pyro Kingdom. After entering the creature’s body, it will be possible not only to move freely around a certain area subject to the corresponding tribe, but also to use the unique abilities of the dragons. Using them consumes the phlogiston charge of the saurian itself.
In update 5.0, you can control only three types of dragon-like creatures:
- Tepetlysaurus capable of hiding in the ground and moving in any direction using the energy of phlogiston - both along the ground and along sheer rocks. In addition, the Geo Saurian can climb rocks made of hard phlogiston, as well as effectively destroy any destructible obstacles.
- Yumkasaurus can fire a projectile of flame grenade pectin in any direction, after which it can attract itself to the created mark, consuming phlogiston. Pectin also helps to pick up small objects and target them to activate distant mechanisms.
Awakening manitou
After finding unusual graffiti with the image of a fairy, use a charge of phlogiston on it to summon the spirit of the manitou. Follow him and find hidden treasures.
In a separate guide we looked at, where to find all the manitou.
Phlogiston mechanics in Natlan
In addition to inhabiting the bodies of saurians and awakening spirits, phlogiston is needed to activate various mechanisms on the territory of Natlan.
Phlogiston engraving
In some caves of Natlan you can find ancient engravings left by local residents many years ago. With their help, they ed the Wayoba - the elemental patrons of the tribes. Now you need to find the right angle that combines all the details in order to recreate the whole picture and awaken energy in it. Once you've finished setting up, in your coholosaurus form, dash towards the engraving and absorb all the power contained in the design.
Spiritual paths
One of the incarnations of phlogiston is special energy barriers and platforms leading to hidden locations. In Natlan they are found in two forms, related to each other.
Spiritual doors
A rainbow glow in the air signals the beginning of a spiritual path. Approach the bright yellow funnel to activate it with the power of phlogiston and open an energy path.
Spiritual paths
A special path formed by the flow of phlogiston energy. Only coholosaurs and experts of the People of the Springs can move along it, for example, Mualani. Not all such paths are safe. Often, to get to the goal, you have to a test of agility and reaction speed, dodging obstacles and moving to other sections of the path in time.
Some funnels found in water or liquid phlogiston can also lead to the spiritual path.
Molten crack
In the mountains, special bright red portals can be found, caused by a high concentration of phlogiston in the rock. Such faults connect two points: enter the portal to find yourself at the other end of the segment. However, only tepetlysaurs and Children of Echoes can freely use such a structure, one of whose representatives is Kachina.
Liquid phlogiston
Concentrated phlogiston in liquid form is found in large quantities in the depths of caves. Being a pure embodiment of energy, it poses a mortal threat to any life caught within it. Only coholosaurs or masters of the People of the Springs can move briefly on phlogiston.
In a special article they indicated where to find lava in natlan.
Phlogiston Spikes Test
While exploring the caves, you can trigger the "Fall, Hard Phlogiston Spike" challenge, which involves firing energy projectiles and breaking special engraved pillars to release ancient power to repair the rainbow inscriptions.
As the test progresses, the evil sealed within the pillars may be released and interfere with the repair process. Destroy the pillars as quickly as possible and avoid the explosion of unstable phlogiston crystals that appear on the field to complete the challenge.
Flame grenade
A special Natlan fruit containing a certain amount of phlogiston energy. Can be used to solve some puzzles by exploding when thrown. Only Yumkasaurs and Children of the Crowns, which include, for example, Kinich.
Unstable Crystals
In the depths of caves, near large accumulations of phlogiston veins, unique formations of phlogiston energy can be found. Such crystals are unstable and often explode when approached, causing considerable damage. Tepetlisaurs and representatives of the Children of Echoes can notice the location of traps and mark them with a red flicker.
