Unearthing the Snow-Tombed Starsilver in Genshin Impact: A Not-So-Icy Guide
You’ve faced the icy peaks of Dragonspine in Genshin Impact. Now, you want the weapon called Snow-Tombed Starsilver. This name beats ‘random rusty sword,’ right? Getting this claymore isn’t too hard. It’s like a quick stroll in the slightly warmer part of Dragonspine. Let’s get into how to get this weapon. No one wants to swing a dull blade where the air bites.
Deciphering the Mural Room Mystery: Your Gateway to Starsilver
Stop wandering around aimlessly; there’s a puzzle to solve. This is more fun than just finding another chest in a field, right? To start your Snow-Tombed Starsilver journey, find the Mural Room. Think of it as a cozy art gallery in Dragonspine. In this secret chamber, your first task is to get the Memory of the Entombed City Diagram from a chest. This diagram is your recipe for crafting. You cannot forge the Snow-Tombed Starsilver without it. It’s like baking a cake without a recipe; it can end messy.
Next, you’ll need to light four torches in the Mural Room. This isn’t just for effect. You need to use a Pyro character to ignite them all. Finally, Amber has her time to shine at last. After lighting the torches, enjoy a brief cutscene. It’s a reward for not freezing in Dragonspine yet. Then, like magic, the Snow-Tombed Starsilver will appear. Voila! One claymore ready for action.
Two Paths to a Snowy Blade: Crafting or Questing
In short, there are two ways to get the Snow-Tombed Starsilver. First, you have the hidden objective we just discussed in the Mural Room. Consider it the scenic route. It involves mystery and exploration, but gives bragging rights later. The second method is forging it. If you prefer ‘give me the weapon now,’ then forging is your method. It’s about resource gathering and blacksmithing. Both paths lead you to wielding the Snow-Tombed Starsilver.
Unlocking the Secret: The Ancient Carvings Quest
The Snow-Tombed Starsilver won’t be given to you easily. You’ll embark on a treasure hunt across Dragonspine. You’ll find 8 Ancient Carvings. Think of them as geocaching with frostbite and fewer bugs. Finding these carvings is key. It helps unlock the weapon’s potential or perhaps just unlocks it entirely – specifics here can be vague.
Your quest begins near the Statue of the Seven in Dragonspine. Statues are good landmarks, aren’t they? They’re like gas stations in Teyvat, just less likely to sell bad coffee. Finding the first carving near the statue is your starting point for this snowy scavenger hunt. From here, explore and find the rest. It’s like a tour of Dragonspine’s spots, with new claymore promises at the end.
Starsilver Specifics: Weaponry and Practical Applications
While specific stats aren’t discussed, we know it’s a claymore. This brings Diluc, Eula, and Razor to mind—characters who like swinging heavy metal around. Claymores are known for powerful attacks and breaking shields effectively. If you need something to destroy enemy defenses or just want to wield a cool frozen sword, the Snow-Tombed Starsilver works well.
The name gives you a clue about materials used for crafting. It comes from Dragonspine Starsilver Ore, a material for weapon crafting. You’ll use Starsilver to forge weapons. Shocking, I know. Specifically, think about forgeable weapons at the blacksmith. This means gathering Starsilver, locating a blacksmith, and having the weapon blueprint you find in the Mural Room!
Dragonspine Starsilver Ore: Location, Location, Location
Now let’s talk about Dragonspine Starsilver Ore. You will find this ore in Dragonspine. It’s Dragonspine’s signature resource, like apples in Mondstadt or Liyue’s diverse resources. While Dragonspine is part of Mondstadt, it’s the colder bit everyone avoids unless they need Starsilver.
If you plan to farm Starsilver, expect some time in the snow. But efficient farming is indeed possible. Like many ores, Starsilver is not always abundant. It’s a rare ore. It respawns every 48 hours, similar to Crystal Chunks. After clearing a deposit, wait two days for it to return. Dragonspine has over 50 deposits scattered around. That’s plenty of shiny craftable material.
For gathering Starsilver, stick to Dragonspine’s edges. The top half edges of Dragonspine hold a lot of Starsilver deposits. Some deposits can give you 3-4 Starsilver each. It’s like winning the crafting material lottery! Still great value when crafting!

Surviving Dragonspine: A Mechanic Mention (Because It’s Important)
While not mentioned initially, you can’t ignore Dragonspine’s unique climate. It introduces the Sheer Cold mechanic. This mechanic reminds you about the cold climate in Genshin Impact; your character can freeze if not careful. Managing Sheer Cold is key for survival and farming for Starsilver or completing quests.
Keep an eye on your Sheer Cold meter, warm up by fires or Seelie, and pack some Goulash! Surviving Dragonspine is half the challenge, and getting Snow-Tombed Starsilver is one reward for braving this cold.
If you want more insight into Dragonspine’s challenges, consider visiting Genshin Impact Wiki’s Dragonspine page. This page can guide you on how not to become frozen!
Now you’re ready to find the Snow-Tombed Starsilver! Brave the cold, gather your carvings, light those torches, and forge your weapon worthy of Dragonspine’s peaks. Consider bringing a Pyro character for help!
