Need a Quick Sword and Some Grub? Find Chen the Sharp in Genshin Impact!
Adventurers in Teyvat, listen! Are you in Liyue Harbor? Is your stomach rumbling and your sword dull? Fear not! Chen the Sharp is here. He can help with food. Maybe he has something for your weapon too. Let’s learn where to find this merchant and what he offers.
Chen the Sharp: Location and What He Offers
Who is Chen the Sharp? He’s not a grand blacksmith forging legendary weapons. No, he’s a shop NPC in Liyue Harbor. He is your go-to for a bite when you explore the streets and need energy.
You can find Chen near the southern Teleport Waypoint in Liyue Harbor. His stall is next to the “Second Life” shop. He is easy to locate. Teleport to the waypoint and follow the smell of food. Or look at your map, whichever helps you more.
What does Chen sell? Cooked food, my friend. Delicious, cooked food! Great for times when you need to heal or get a quick stat buff. Perfect before facing hilichurls or an angry Ruin Guard. And the best part? His food stock refreshes daily! What a reliable source!
The Secret Stash: Getting the Dark Iron Sword from Chen
Now, here’s the cool part. Chen does more than sell skewers and soups. He secretly has a Dark Iron Sword. Yes, a free sword! No need to spend Mora or Primogems. Just be chatty.
Here’s how to grab this Dark Iron Sword:
- Initiate Conversation: Go up to Chen and talk. Choose this option: “How’re the fish selling?”. Why fish? Who knows! Maybe it shows you’re interested in food before he reveals his treasures.
- Unlocking the Secret: After asking about fish, another choice appears. Select: “Tell me about the Guhua Clan”. This is crucial. It seems to trigger Chen to share ancient knowledge or perhaps a sword.
- Sword Acquired! Once you mention the Guhua Clan, Chen may gift you the Dark Iron Sword! No fighting, no puzzles, just some chit-chat and *bam*, you have a sword!
The Dark Iron Sword is not the strongest weapon. If you’re after items for powerful characters like

Happy adventuring! May your swords always be sharp (or at least, Dark Iron sharp)!
