The Ancient Fossils inGenshin Impactare the remains of some animals that can be found in the Underground Chasm. According to Khedive, these fossils are perfectly preserved. He theorizes that all these fossils were buried together in an instant. For that to happen, there must have been an intense change around The Chasm’s geological environment, like a large shockwave.
