Genshin Impact 1.2 update The Chalk Prince and the Dragon released today

The highly anticipated Genshin Impact 1.2 update The Chalk Prince and the Dragon released today, December 23, as promised. Fans of the hit action RPG from miHoYo will discover a whole new region, the snowy Dragonspine, as well as two new 5-star characters, Albedo and Ganyu. As it always happens with every major Genshin Impact update, there is a lot more beneath the hood, so get ready for quite a few surprises.

One of the coolest additions is the introduction of a character ascension reward at level 20, 50, and 70. Each ascension level grants you one Acquaint Fate, which you can use for Wishes, as you surely know by now. Events on update 1.2 don't require original resin, which is another step in the right direction for the anime RPG.

I. New Area

New Area – Dragonspine

◇ New Area – Dragonspine: Travelers will be able to put their adventuring skills to the test in the Subzero Climate of the all-new Dragonspine area. Here, Travelers will discover a whole new exploration experience, filled with various puzzles as well as new quests and mechanisms awaiting at every turn.

◇ New Mechanics – Subzero Climate: Characters in Subzero Climate will continuously accumulate Sheer Cold. When Sheer Cold reaches its limit, they will start losing HP. Bonfires, torches, and other sources of heat will diminish Sheer Cold. Certain conditions like Snowstorms and actions like swimming will accelerate Sheer Cold's accumulation.

New Feature of Dragonspine: Frostbearing Tree

◇ The ancient tree that should have slumbered forever under the ice and snow has sprouted scarlet sprouts anew. Offer the Crimson Agates scattered all over Dragonspine to this tree, and you may obtain just rewards in return…

◆ While exploring Dragonspine, Travelers will sometimes stumble upon crystalline Crimson Agate, which can be offered to the Frostbearing Tree. Doing so will level up the Frostbearing Tree, granting Travelers various rewards that include Acquaint Fate, Intertwined Fate, a wind glider, Mora, Weapon EXP Materials, Character EXP Materials, Talent Level-Up Materials, and Gadget diagrams. As the Frostbearing Tree grows, so too will its desire for power. With its system of roots that spread out throughout Dragonspine, it will periodically discover new sources of Crimson Agate.

Heed its desire and collect Crimson Agate throughout the mountain!

New Domain of Dragonspine – Peak in Vindagnyr

◇ This city entombed in snow once had a proud, romantic name to call its own, just as the mountain itself was once lush and verdant in the ancient past. But after the nail that froze the skies over descended upon this mountain, the priests who ascended the altar to face the heavens can no longer hear its voice, nor will they ever return again.

When it comes into contact with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro, Crystallize occurs, producing DMG-absorbing elemental shards.”

16. (Continuation from a related fix in 1.1) Adjusted the strength of the Overload DMG done by burning grass to targets affected by Electro. The DMG from this Elemental Reaction will be adjusted to 2 World Levels below the Traveler's current World Level. The lowest possible strength is World Level 0, and the highest possible strength is World Level 4.

With this, the adjustment to environmental Elemental Reaction DMG as laid out in the “World Level of Environmental Elemental Reaction Damage” notice on November 12 will be complete.
