The new Saurian types inGenshin Impact5.2 have allegedly leaked and they should improve exploration and even resonate with some new mechanics exclusive to the region of Natlan. Version 5.2 is the next big patch for HoYoverse’s action RPG and there are rumors that two new Saurian types will be released with the update. Version 5.1 did not introduce any new creatures from the species, so players are still contained to using the threeSaurian types fromGenshin Impact5.0that are currently available: Tepetlisaurus, Yumkasaurus, and Koholasaurus.

These three different types of creatures grant players enhanced mobility across Natlan when they are indwelled. The Tepetlisaurus, for instance, can burrow underground and, in doing so, climb vertical cliffs, while the Koholasaurus allows players to move across water surfaces at enhanced speed. More Saurians in Natlan have already been teased, such as the Qucusaurus – which can be seen in the massiveGoldflame Qucusaur Tyrant boss inGenshin Impact. Now, there are rumors that the Saurian group will grow with the addition of two new types in Version 5.2.

Two New Saurian Types Have Leaked For Genshin Impact 5.2

Qucusaur & Iktomisaur Are Rumored To Be The New Saurians In The Update

Information obtained by an unknown leaker was shared in a post flagged as “Reliable” onReddit,highlighting two new Saurian types in Version 5.2. The first is the aforementioned Qucusaur, while the second is allegedly called Iktomisaurus. The Qucusaur is a red-colored avian-like creature capable of gliding and flying while in Natlan. Iktomisaur Saurians, on the other hand, are bat-like creatures that can leap up high and temporarily glide. While flight seems like the major improvement to mobility inGenshin Impact5.2’s leaked Saurians, they may actually help with other types of mechanics.

New Mechanics May Be Added With The Rumored Natlan Areas

The Qucusaur seems like a Saurian type focused specifically on mobility. According to the leak, Qucusauri can glide and then consume Phlogiston to ascend mid-flight or perform a horizontal roll in the air. The leak also says thatQucusaur Saurians can also fly at higher speeds when players push the sprint button. It seems like Qucusaur will be about flying quickly from point A to point B, so there is a chance there will be challenges involving the creatures’ traversal mechanics inGenshin Impact.

Despite being able to fly in some ways, the Iktomisaur seems less focused on flight mechanics themselves. As seen in the leak, Iktomisauri can hold a button to aim (possibly like the Yumkasauri) and enter the Spiritspeaker state. The leak mentions that, in this state,Iktomisaur can absorb Phlogiston from objects within their field of vision. Additionally, Iktomisaur Saurians can allegedly make special graffiti and Phlogiston Engravings appear for a limited time.

This seems to hint that Iktomisauri’s main purpose will be locating secrets with its special vision abilities.

As is the case with any sort of leak, this information should be considered with caution. The details may be incorrect, incomplete, or subject to change before the arrival of Version 5.2. Nevertheless, the new Saurian leaks seem reliable and on par with other leaks, such as those indicating there will benew Natlan map areas inGenshin Impact5.2, which will most likely contain these special graffiti and Phlogiston Engravings, for example.
