How to complete Genshin Impact: In the Mountains Quest: All Frozen Fragments

Genshin impact In the mountains is a world mission that takes place in the incredibly beautiful and at the same time very complex region of Teyvat dragon backbone. Below we tell you how to get the quest In the mountains, get to Vindagnir peak, explore strange ice, melt frozen fragments and much more.

Let's start with the fact that an unprepared player should not meddle in the Dragon Ridge. This incredibly intricate winter landscape is teeming with challenging enemies and puzzles. Dangers await the player at every turn, and there is also a debuff Severe frost, which slowly kills your character until you take countermeasures.

Think carefully before starting the quest In the mountains, well, if you still decide, we will try to make it as easy as possible for you to complete the task in our guide below:

How to start the quest "In the mountains"

A girl named Yu Xia is located near the entrance to the Dragonspine. You will understand that you are near the desired character by the exclamation mark above your head, which marks everyone in the game world tasks. Below you can find a map showing the exact location of the NPC.

After talking with Yu Xia, who is an Adventurer, you will learn important details about the Dragonspine. The girl will talk about hypothermia and ask the Traveler not to go too far.

Having finished the dialogue, our hero will have to travel to a new, snowy region in order to complete the first task of the quest In the mountains to search for all frozen fragments.

Where to find and how to melt all the frozen fragments

Melt the first Frozen Fragment

Once the quest is accepted, a marker will appear on the radar pointing to the Snow-Covered Path in Dragonspine. Follow the marker that will take you to the location indicated on the map below. You can also see the location of 4 Crimson Quartz crystals, without which it will not be possible to melt the frozen fragments.

Yes, that's exactly how it works! Search first Ice crystalto clearly understand its location, and then look for the entire scarlet quartz in close proximity. Knowing the location of the objects of interest to us, we can begin to drown the crystals. We approach the Scarlet Quartz, break it with a normal attack and very quickly move to the Ice Block. When you get close, we hit it, but now your normal attack is saturated with quartz energy, and the frozen structure begins to take damage.

The important thing is that one Crimson Quartz allows you to deal only one hit to the block. To melt strange ice, you need to inflict four effective hits on it, respectively, you need 4 Crimson Quartz, which we reflected on the map above.

Note: You will be tasked with melting three ice blocks to go deeper into the snowy region, as this will not let strong winds hinder your progress.

After melting the frozen fragment of the Snow-Covered Path, the Permafrost Tree will open, which must be offered in the future Crimson agates, after which the level of the tree will increase and you will receive rewards.

Note: Upon reaching level 8 of the permafrost tree, players will unlock Crimson Wish. Every Monday and Friday, players will receive 5 Crimson Wishes, for which they will receive 1 Crimson Agate.

Melt the second Frozen Fragment

The next step is to go to the location. Starlight Cave, it's southwest of the top of Dragon's Ridge. To find a frozen crystal, you need to remove the barrier that blocks access to it. We have a puzzle with fairies and statues.

The essence of the puzzle is this - you need to find three fairies and escort them to the statues. The most difficult moment is the search for fairies, because they are safely hidden. Well, naturally, we know where everyone sits, so we are happy to show:

Where to find 3 fairies in the quest In the Mountains

First fairy: The baby is hidden behind a pile of stones that need to be broken using any means known to you. You can see the exact location on the screenshot radar in the upper left corner.

Having freed the fairy, simply follow her to her statue and she will take her place on it.

Second fairy: As soon as you put the first fairy on your statue and get a rich chest as a bonus, the second fairy will loom right in the direction. It is impossible not to notice her. Take her to your place and get another rich chest.

third fairy: You need to go around the force field on the right side and climb a little higher to see the last fairy:

Spend the last fairy in place and collect another opened rich chest.

Now everything is in order, all the fairies have taken their place, but the barrier has not yet been removed. To finally remove the barrier, you need to pass the test by going to the marker and activating it:

You will have a difficult fight with several ice hilichurls and Cryo mages of the abyss for a while. Our advice is to strengthen your team to the maximum, because this fight will not be a cakewalk.

Upon successful completion of the time trial, the barrier will be removed. It remains to find Scarlet Quartz and melt the second frozen fragment. Below we leave a map on which scarlet quartz crystals and the block itself are marked.

Act consistently and quickly, following the same pattern as with the first frozen fragment.

Melt the third Frozen Fragment

The last Frozen Fragment is located in the Buried Capital Outskirts, west of the top of Dragonspine. Upon arrival, you will find a puzzle with five ice totems and a fairy flying nearby.

It is quite clear that without solving this puzzle, you can’t go any further. In fact, you can understand the sequence of activation of totems without our help. You need to carefully follow the fairy and remember the order in which she flies up to the totems. After studying the scheme of her movements, repeat her route, activating the totems with a cryo attack (pull a character with a cryo element from the team, only he can activate the totems).

In the process of activating totems, you will be hindered by enemies that appear after removing the block from the last totem, and the most difficult mobs are ruin thresher can really ruin the picture. Kill them to calmly complete this part of the puzzle.

After activating all the totems, a rift will open in the center of the arena:

Now our path lies straight down. Do not rush to mindlessly jump to the fairy, which is visible below. Carefully study the edges of the fault. If you descend correctly, you can easily capture Crimson agate, and then calmly fly up to the fairy.

Sit the fairy in place at the locked gate and proceed to kindle the last Frozen Fragment. We also have a map with the location of Scarlet Quartz in this area:

Before melting the last frozen fragment, you need to seat another fairy in place (one, because the second we spent during the descent into the rift earlier). She's hidden in a piece of ice that needs to be broken. pyro abilities. This place is next to the Ruin Guardian.

After freeing the fairy, take her to her place and the gate will open. Inside you will find two chests and the last Crimson Quartz, which is missing to complete the Frozen Fragment. Don't rush to leave the area just yet! You need to break the ice wall ahead to free the 3rd fairy. For now, we can get her to the ice barrier, but not further, but soon she will continue the route.

Melt the frozen fragment and nearby monsters will come to life in an attempt to kill you. Destroy these machines. After the death of the guardians, the ice in the center of this area will break, and you can go further after the fairy.

Path to the top of the mountain

Well, we have reached the final stage of this quest. Now you need to find and destroy floating crystalto unlock the path to the shrine. Scarlet quartz is also indispensable here. The quest marker will lead you to the right place.

How to find scarlet quartz to complete the quest In the Mountains

Pay attention to the map above, where we have marked the places containing Scarlet Quartz. Next, we tell in more detail where to find all three necessary crystals:

First Scarlet Quartz: Located near the Guardian of the Ruins. Look at the screenshot radar for the exact location. Collect it, switch to the archer and shoot at the floating crystal. It will be easier:

Second Scarlet Quartz: It is located in a place with lavachurl, as in the image below. Pick it up and switch to archer again to shoot the second floating crystal.

Third Scarlet Quartz: To get to it we need an anemo character. You need to activate the anemo totem and successfully soar to the Scarlet quartz through the ring mini-game:

Don't worry if you can't hit the floating crystals while Crimson Quartz is active. They will appear in the same places over and over again until you complete the task.

Carefully go downstairs to pick up all the fragments, from one to another.

Each activated shard causes the tower to assemble by moving the floating stone slabs you jump over. As soon as the column completes its formation, it will fly somewhere up.

The resulting hole under the column is the entrance to the dungeon Vindagnira Peak. To enter it, just go downstairs, where a pleasant surprise awaits you in the form of five treasure chests.

To complete the quest, return to Yu Xia and report on the completion of the peace quest In the mountains.
