Genshin Impact update 1.2: new info about Dragonspine

We had already told you about version 1.2 of Genshin Impact through our summary of the Chinese livestream that you can find here, but this time, it's via the official website that we have some details on certain elements constituting this update.

The new region: Dragonspine

As we told you before, it will plunge you into a freezing climate.

Genshin Impact

The icy climate of the Dragonspine area

In the Dragonspine area, the cold reigns and will not give you a break. With this climate in place, your characters will experience the "Sheer Cold" effect continuously. Once your cold gauge reaches its maximum, you will lose health at regular intervals.

Your cold gauge may increase faster if you swim in icy water or during snowstorms. It will therefore be necessary to pay attention to that.

Scarlet Quartz

We continue the details on some elements of this update with the Scarlet Quartz. These are the famous red crystals that were shown in the livestream.

A Scarlet Quartz is a mysterious stone that can only be found in the Dragonspine region, which allows you to resist the Sheer Cold and therefore stop the latter's progress while the effect is active.

You will also find peculiar ice that can be destroyed under two conditions:

  • Either by the Pyro element
  • Either by a basic attack, under the effect of Scarlet Quartz

It's a tree that has watched over the Dragonspine area since time immemorial and to which it will be necessary to offer Crimson Agate to increase the level of the latter's offering. You will be able to obtain Acquaint Fate, Intertwined Fate, a wind glider, as well as Gadget blueprints.
