Abyss
Retry and Exit Menu Issues
By: Asaki#9139
Added: 2022-01-27 (v. 2.4)
Last tested: 2022-01-27 (v. 2.4)
Finding:
-
Time in the Spiral Abyss does not stop when you use the Exit button on the top left.
-
Attempting to retry the chamber just as the last enemy dies results in the following:
- An error message will be displayed.
- The chamber will end in 0 stars, even if the time remaining is above any of the star requirements.
- The chamber will be considered as completed.

Significance:
Better understanding of Abyss bugs/issues for cleaner runs.
Using the Same Team for Both Abyss Halves
By: Nitley#3485
Added: 2021-03-25 (v. 1.4)
Last tested: 2021-03-25 (v. 1.4)
Bug/Exploit: You're able to use your overworld team (regardless of character overlap with first half team) for the second half of Spiral Abyss by selecting retry at the same time as killing the last mob.
Evidence: YouTube
Significance: After you clear the second half it doesn't complete, it's unsure whether it would be possible to trick it to complete somehow. It could be useful for speedrun showcases or character highlights in abyss.
Elemental Skills and Bursts Don't Reset When Using Retry in Abyss
By: Emear#2956

Bug: Elemental Skills' and Bursts' CDs do not get reset upon retrying an Abyss floor
Version 4.3 Update Details:
When re-challenging Domains, Trounce Domains, and the Spiral Abyss, if party members' skills are in CD, the CD will be reset.
Evidence: In the first 5 seconds of the clip, I start the Abyss floor and immediately switch to Xingqiu, a character with long CDs, in order to activate Vaporize with Diluc. Xingqiu is equipped with an R1 Sacrificial Sword. In order to achieve the "perfect run", I restart the floor to try to activate Sacrificial Sword's passive. Upon restarting the floor, both Xingqiu's E and Q are off cooldown, causing me to restart the floor again.
Significance: This is significant as some people rely on pure RNG when trying to get that "perfect run". For example, using Xingqiu's Q and following up with two E's (when using Sacrificial Sword) to generate as much Energy Recharge as possible for the next Q is often used in vape comps. When attempting the "perfect run", people may restart several times at the first few seconds of starting a floor to get the Sacrificial Sword's passive to activate. However, they will notice that Xingqiu's E has a 21 second CD which does not get reset upon retrying a stage, forcing them to retry the floor AGAIN. This is especially noticeable on characters with long CDs on Elemental Skills or bursts.

Noblesse Oblige 4-Piece bonus not applying to some bursts
By: Bobrokrot#0111
Added: 2021-04-26 (v. 1.4)
Last tested: 2021-04-26 (v. 1.4)
Discussion
Bug:
4NO bonus sometimes does not apply to the Beidou's Burst that activated the bonus and never applies to Ganyu's Burst.
For now these are the only two ults that have this issue. The following ults are confirmed to behave as expected: Chongyun, Amber, Kaeya, Jean, XL.
Evidence:
In this video Beidou with 4NO activates Burst two times in Abyss-7 without exiting the floor. The first Burst didn't snapshot the +20% ATK Bonus from 4NO, while 2nd Burst did.
[Spreadsheet] The calcs to confirm the numbers in the video:
Some other tests:
Jean (4NO works)
Kaeya (4NO works)
Amber (4NO works)
Significance:
Until patched, Ganyu and Beidou should not hold 4NO buffs as they cannot utilize the buff themselves. It is better suited on other characters until patched.
Domains
Resetting or Exiting a Domain does not Reset Elemental Skill Cooldowns

Bug: Resetting or exiting a domain does not reset Elemental Skill cooldowns.
Version 4.3 Update Details:
When re-challenging Domains, Trounce Domains, and the Spiral Abyss, if party members' skills are in CD, the CD will be reset.
Evidence:
Significance: This behavior is not unique to Spiral Abyss and applies to all domains.
Keeping Domain Doors Open
By: Magnus Artifex#8719
Added: 2022-05-14 (v. 2.6)
Last tested: 2022-05-14 (v. 2.6)
Discussion
Bug:
A domain’s door can be kept opened after exiting the domain.
Evidence:
The following steps need to be followed to cause this:
- Be in the domain choosing screen.
- Achieve the high ping by deactivating your signal/wifi.
- Open the domain again.
- Turn on the signal/wifi when the loading icon appears. This has to appear while the door is opening.
- Now exit the domain screen. It should be still opened.
The door resets if you teleport to another map or far enough away, but does not if you teleport nearby. It also resets if you interact with the domain again.
Teleporting nearby - Teleporting far away
Significance:
Looks cool

Added: 2022-07-21 (v. 2.8)
Last tested: 2022-07-21 (v. 2.8)

Finding:
In a high ping scenario, you can run out of the domain arena before the walls appear, leaving your Co-op teammates to complete it by themselves
Evidence:
YouTube
Significance:
Less effort required to farm domains, also chaos
Fishing Spots
Fishing Spot Prompt Bug
By: Beast Boy#2560
Added: 2022-04-16 (v. 2.6)
Last tested: 2022-04-16 (v. 2.6)
Discussion
Bug:
The fishing prompt can stay with the character far beyond the normal area under certain conditions. How long and how far it sticks are very inconsistent. The bug persists through: walking, running, sprinting, jumping, gliding, Normal Attacking, Charged Attacking, Plunge Attacking, using an Elemental Skill, using an Elemental Burst, and opening menus. The bug does not persist through a character dying. The fishing prompt can also be extended beyond its normal area by repeatedly entering and exiting the menu.
Evidence:
- Normal Fishing Prompt Interaction (for reference): video
- Persists through many actions: video
- Persists through menu opening: video
- Entering and exiting menu extension (from sexyeboy69#2687): video
Significance:
Mostly fluff (could have been used in Rally Inazuma round 6 if bugs were allowed).

Cooking Pot Super Jump
By: Nass008#8577
Added: 2021-12-23 (v. 2.3)
Last tested: 2021-12-23 (v. 2.3)
Discussion
Finding:
You can yeet yourself high by cooking mid air.
- Perform actions that accelerate your player character near the cooking pot (both overworld one and mobile cooking pot works).
- Press “Cook” button right when you gain momentum to enter cooking menu.
- Choose any recipe, and the game will briefly unpause and move your character.
- By repeatedly choosing and canceling cooking, you can propel yourself to the extent that normally impossible.
Evidence:
- Pot can enable higher jumps than usual. This also works with Xiao’s enhanced jump during Q and Kazuha E:

- Yoimiya Q cast animation - courtesy of Yukie#7916
- By using this trick with Anemo Ring, Electrograna, or Bennett hold E level 2 charge, you can jump/fly exceedingly long distances:
- This trick does not work with wind current alone (including one from Venti Hold E). You stop rising at a certain height like you normally do, and it does not appear to be higher than usual:
Significance:
Can be used to reach places normally inaccessible, especially by utilizing Bennett and the portable cooking stove.
Leg Break Bridge
By: Lilith of the night#5024
Added: 2022-01-21 (v. 2.4)
Last tested: 2022-01-21 (v. 2.4)
Discussion
Finding:
You take damage when you plunge on this spot at Dainichi island bridge, this happens with any type of weapon.
The damage is likely counted as from plunge, as it is close to the max plunge DMG, and Xiao is unaffected.
Evidence:
Significance: Funny physics bug.
Horizon Tech Sequel
By: Beast Boy#2560
Added: 2022-07-14 (v. 2.8)
Last tested: 2022-07-14 (v. 2.8)
Discussion
Finding:
By crawling into a horizontal position, interacting with a character in teapot, and executing a plunge attack, it is possible to get your character to stand in a horizontal position (as long as they are in an animation or partially clipped into a surface)
Also, by climbing into a firework precisely placed on Geo Traveler's rock, it is possible to force the character into a 45 degree angle and plunge off, to the same effects as horizon tech, but at 45 degrees. (Currently only tested to be possible with the teen female character model)

Dying Animation Pause
By: ElliMiku#5071
Added: 2022-07-21 (v. 2.8)
Last tested: 2022-07-21 (v. 2.8)
Discussion
Finding:
Going into the time adjustment menu pauses the dying animation. However, gravity still continues working if your character is collapsed on a slope. This can result in some... interesting footage, including bodies flopping over, half-disappeared bodies flopping over, bodies flopping over in comedic ways while I lose my last braincell. Standing on a slope while dying of sheer cold doesn't work, drowning neither. Interestingly enough, gravity does stop when you are in the time adjustment menu while falling.
Evidence:
YouTube
Significance:
Better understanding of how the bodies are modelled, fluff,... and suffering.
