The second of them, named Peculiar Shadow, seems like a familiar figure: Waxaklahun Ubah Kan in .

The list of Iansan’s Ascension and Talent materials in Genshin Impact 5.5 has leaked and players can farm most of the items, but there’s bad news.

The first leaked NPC seems like a robotic dragon figure. The leak even shows that its internal name is VolcanoRobot, which may confirm that it’s a character that players will meet during their
