How To Thaw All The Shards Out in Genshin Impact

Where to find chilled meat in Genshin Impact

Dragonspine region was introduced as a part of the holiday season update and brings a wide range of new quests along with it.

In The Mountains Quest Iris tasks you to explore the Dragonspine region where you are required to thaw the three shards. Make sure to thaw the shards in order upon which the powerful wind will stop blowing to go deeper into this snowy region. The shards are spread across the snowy region in challenging spots that won’t be easy to get your hands on.

First Shard Location

The first is the hardest to get. Make your way to the Waypoint near Wyrmrest Valley. Upon reaching you will find a Warming Seelie flying between the pillars that hold the key to the puzzle. Use a Cryo to freeze the pillars in the order the Seelie moves around. Once you solve the puzzle, Ruin Graders will come to life and try to kill you. Killing them in return will shatter the ice in the middle of this area letting you make your way downwards. Find the four pieces of Scarlet Quartz and solve the puzzle before smashing the shard in the center.

Second Shard Location

The second location is under Starglow Cavern. You will find a series of tunnels and keep following it from the left-most tunnel and you will reach the second shard. Similar to the first shard, you need to assemble four Scarlet Quartz pieces before smashing the shard. Three pieces can be found up to this point however a nearby time trial to earn you the fourth piece. The trial will have you kill enemies in the given time. Smash the 3rd shard once you complete the puzzle.

Third Shard Location

Find the Scarlet Quartz near the Frostbearing Tree before smashing the shard. This will by far be the simplest yet the most boring one, given the fact it takes up a lot of your time.
