Can I Go to Fontaine as Soon as I Complete Sumeru’s Main Story?

Fontaine in 50% Water
One of the most striking features of Fontaine is its partially submerged terrain. About 50% of Fontaine’s map is underwater, allowing you to explore the world both above and below the surface.
• Breathless Exploration: You don’t need an oxygen bar to swim freely underwater, making exploration both safer and more enjoyable.
• Unseen Treasures: Discover hidden secrets, items, and abilities while exploring Fontaine’s underwater areas.
Does the Celestia Overlie Fontaine?
For players with a keen eye for geography, one might wonder: Is Fontaine underneath the Celestia? The answer is no, the Celestia and Fontaine are separate regions. So, go ahead and explore Fontaine without worrying about being crushed beneath the celestial heavens.
