It’s easy to misunderstand things since these arrangements are not the most obvious to interpret, so if players wish to fully understand thesenew Natlan mechanics inGenshin Impact, this article will explain what you need to know.
Phlogiston & Nightsoul Point Mechanics In Genshin Impact
The red bar above your HP bar while traveling in Natlan is calledPhlogiston. It’snota “heat bar” like the coldness you accumulateinGenshin ImpactDragonspine. Instead,having this red bar is a good thing.
Phlogiston is like anextra energy/stamina bar for Natlan-related explorations. When you use a Saurian power or a Natlan character’s Skills, you’ll consume an energy calledNightsoul points.
Once you run out of Nightsoul points, you may continue using the Saurian or character’s Skills, until the Phlogiston runs out as well. This means you cansurf with Maulani far longer in Natlanthanks to Phlogiston’s extra energy bar.

When the party has at least one character from Natlan, ateam member dealing Elemental DMGwill trigger Nightsoul Burst. You can see it triggering when a Natlan pattern appears on your screen.
