Unearthing Dragonspine’s Hidden Treasures: A Chest Hunter’s Guide
Dragonspine. Sounds eerie, right? It’s more than just the Sheer Cold. This mountain, called Vindagnyr, sits in Mondstadt. It’s tough to traverse. Endurance is key against the elements. But for intrepid souls, Dragonspine hides secrets and treasures. Chests await.
Treasure Compass? Misleading in Dragonspine
Let’s discuss the Anemo Treasure Compass. Considering it for finding Dragonspine chests? Stop right there! These gadgets fail here. They’re as useful as a snow shovel in a desert. Why? Because Treasure Compasses are region-locked. Each compass is for its respective area.
The Mondstadt compass only works in Mondstadt. Liyue’s compass serves Liyue. They are not interchangeable. Yet, there’s a minor exception. The compass can sometimes detect closeby chests near borders. If you’re close to the edge, your compass might register a chest just outside Dragonspine.
Dragonspine Chests: Not Many, But Valuable
Dragonspine lacks abundance compared to other places. If you chase achievements, the stats show it. Mondstadt has 523 chests, Liyue boasts 1149, Inazuma holds 731, Sumeru has 1475, Fontaine features 945, Chenyu Vale offers 333, and Natlan comes with 610. Dragonspine? Only 234.
Enkanomiya and The Chasm are sparser too: 185 and 248 chests, respectively. While Dragonspine isn’t jam-packed with chests, each find feels rewarding against the Sheer Cold. Good news: updates have made finding these chests easier. Now they appear on the main map!
No more squinting at mini-maps. This change helps you plan hunting expeditions effectively. For help with detailed locations, check out guides like [Guide] All 233 DragonSpine Chest Locations Genshin Impact | HoYoLAB. Sometimes we need a little guidance.
Chest rewards vary in Teyvat:
- Common Chests: Basic treasure with 2 Primogems.
- Exquisite Chests: Better reward of 5 Primogems.
- Precious Chests: Worth 10 Primogems. More satisfying.
- Luxurious Chests: The best of the best, giving 10 to 40 Primogems. Finding one feels like hitting the jackpot.
Curious about chest respawns? Low-level chests respawn occasionally. If you revisit past areas, keep watch for chest icons reappearing on your map. Free Primogems are still solid.
Dragonspine’s Sneaky Chest Locations
Dragonspine has secrets. Chests have unique spots worth mentioning. First, check for the Hidden Chest near Dragonspine. Teleport to the Statue of the Seven for quick travel. Head to the cave at the bottom left corner and turn right. There’s a camp. Feed the foxes there for five days.
On day five, they reward you with a Precious Chest. Sweet rewards await! Next, discover the Dragonspine Secret Rooms. One is near a teleport waypoint in the south of 「Entombed City – Ancient Palace」. Find the upper part of the waypoint. Use one of three paths to navigate there for valuable resources and chests.
Additionally, there’s the Princess’ Box. It comes from a Luxurious Chest. First, find a sword stuck in the ground beneath a tree. Activate it to trigger a challenge. Completing this leads to a Luxurious Chest with the beloved Princess’ Box.
Dragonspine: Rich History Beyond Chests
Dragonspine is rich in lore beyond treasure hunting. Once known as Vindagnyr, it feels apart from Mondstadt. Referencing How To Get 100% Exploration In An Area In Genshin Impact – Screen Rant, it shows a unique “exploration progress” system like Narukami Island.
The region has the notorious Sheer Cold mechanic. It drains health constantly, turning exploration into a strategic game. Smart movement is crucial; wandering is dangerous. Pyro characters and heat sources save lives. Use bonfires, torches, and warming seelie for survival.
The area’s lore adds depth. It was not always frozen; it was lush once. The tale goes that the Skyfrost Nail fell, causing perpetual winter. Such a drastic change!
For completionists, Dragonspine hosts the Frostbearing Tree and Crimson Agates. Collect all 80 Agates around Dragonspine and offer them to unlock rewards at the Frostbearing Tree. Achieving level 8 enables access to the Crimson Wish system.
Dragonspine Trivia: Khaenri’ah and Snowboar King
A few trivia facts to consider: They say Khaenri’ah, the secretive nation, lies by Sumeru and Liyue’s Chasm. Its lore draws influence from Germanic and Nordic mythology, especially the Nibelungenlied.
Lastly, don’t overlook the Great Snowboar King. He’s known as “the true ruler of Dragonspine.” This miniboss is not a common pig; he’s fierce! Defeating him is essential for any adventurer in Dragonspine.
So there you go. Dragonspine: tough, beautiful, and filled with treasure. Remember your Pyro characters and come prepared. Happy hunting!
