Genshin Impact Guide: How to Solve Every Crimson Agate Puzzle in Dragonspine

The new region of Dragonspine is proving to be more menacing than it actually seemed. The annoying sheer cold effect in the subzero climate becomes even more difficult to deal with in tricky situations that need your time, especially if you have to solve puzzles and fight blood-thirsty Hilicurls and the greedy Fatui henchmen. These omnipresent adversaries will immediately attack the travelers who dare to venture into the snowcapped region of Genshin Impact.

This frozen land contains a ‘Frostbearing Tree’ that you have to feed a collectible in ‘Crimson Agate’ to earn rich rewards. These collectibles are present everywhere on the map, while some are locked behind secret chests and puzzles that you would need to solve to gain them.

Guide to solve all the secret puzzles of Crimson Agates in Genshin Impact

Puzzles are one of the prominent features of Genshin Impact that the community really enjoys. Some of them prove to be too demanding; so much so that players struggle to solve them without assistance.

If you wish to upgrade your ‘Forstbearing tree’ all the way to max, then you will need to solve these puzzles to acquire the secret ‘Crimson Agate’.

Lonesome island near the beach

The beach area surely contains a lot of chests and ‘Crimson Agates’, but this one is specially kept outside your reach. It is located inside a secret chest covered in blue ice on the lonely island, with no ‘Scarlet Quartz’ in a workable location.

The only way to solve this puzzle is by either teleporting on the electro hypostasis domain or at the teleport way-point in ‘Dadupa Gorge’ and head to the location marked in the following image.

Upon reaching that location, you will need to look down and locate a platform that contains a secret Scarlet Quartz. This platform is located directly above the lonely island and it will give you an idea of where you should look. Refer to the image below to find the shard.

Now just glide your way down the island with the buff and break the blue ice to uncover the Crimson Agate of the lonely island.

The true king of Dragonspine

The lore suggests ‘Durin’ ruled the peaks of the region, but his demise in the battle against the Anemo god and ‘Dvalin’ reshaped the mountains. The body of this dragon lays in these lands, but this region supposedly has a new ruler and who holds a secret Crimson Agate in his possession.

Head to the statue of the seven and glide all the way down to the open section, highlighted in the image above. You will find three frozen boars in the area and you will need to kill them all. This will unveil a new boss for you to take on, be prepared because he will attack you immediately.

The boar king will come out and pounce on your party, kick-starting a boss fight. Battle the boar king and try to finish the fight quickly because this area does not contain a heat source for you to deal with the sheer cold effect. After you beat this boss, collect the chilled meat for a side quest that you will have to do and move on to find a chest at the cliffside that contains the secret ‘Crimson Agate’.

Missing father
