Including how to unlock the Scions of the Canopy Reputation
Scions of the Canopy is the third tribe the Traveler and Paimon meet in Natlan
and it's also one of the first Reputations you unlock in the Nation of Pyro
That's right, Natlan has tinkered with the Reputation system in Genshin Impact slightly
as there's now six mini Reputations that dish out rewards
you'll find out how to unlock the Scions of the Canopy Reputation
and a list of all Scions of the Canopy Reputation rewards
Keep in mind that this page doesn't include the 'Gifts from the Speaker's Chamber' rewards you get for reaching the maximum Reputation Level for each tribe. If you'd like to know those rewards, check out our Natlan Repuation explainer instead
The Scions of the Canopy Reputation is located by the Obsidian Totem Pole in the Scions of the Canopy settlement
Speak to Aclla beside the Obsidian Totem Pole to access the Reputation menu and claim your rewards
There are four Scions of the Canopy Reputation Levels in Genshin Impact
and you'll receive a reward whenever you reach the required Reputation EXP amount for each level
To claim your Scions of the Canopy Reputation rewards
select 'Tribe Reputation Level' from the main Scions of the Canopy Reputation menu
located in the lower left-hand corner of the screen
Here's all of the Scions of the Canopy Reputation rewards in Genshin Impact:
once you reach Reputation Level 4 with the Scions of the Canopy
you can also claim a reward from the 'Gifts from the Speaker's Chamber' tab of any Reputation menu in Natlan
What reward you get depends on how many tribes you have reached maximum Reputation Level with already
