How to Unlock Dragonspine

You can enter Dragonspine without needing to start Albedo's Story Quest, Princeps Cretaceus, which means you can explore it freely as soon as you're ready!

How to Unlock Statue of the Seven

Dragonspine only has one Statue of the Seven, which reveals all of the major locations in the map. Here's how you can unlock it:

Get the Scarlet Quartz Near the Statue

To break the ice surrounding the statue, you need to get a piece of Scarlet Quartz nearby to break the protective barrier.

Hit the Ice and Unlock!

Once you have the Scarlet Quartz piece, all you need to do is to strike the ice and you can activate the Statue!

Unlocking the statue also gives you the Continental Explorer: Dragonspine achievement!

Dragonspine Release Date

Dragonspine is a region added in the 1.2 Update. This was the first new region that was introduced in the game after Mondstadt and Liyue.

Sheer Cold Effect (Subzero Climate)

Once this gauge fills up, your health goes down!

Unlike other regions in the map, exploring Dragonspine will give your characters the Sheer Cold status. Here's what it will do:

Sheer Cold Effects
- The Sheer Cold status will accumulate rapidly in Subzero Climate. - Characters will quickly lose HP once the Sheer Cold Meter reaches its limit. - Some gadgets will be unusable in this climate. - Certain actions and environments will increase the rate at which Sheer Cold accumulates.

Heat Sources

Heat Sources
Pyro Seelies	Nodes
Torches	Bonfires

Be sure to keep warm while exploring the harsh cold by ocassionally staying close to sources of warmth! This will help slow down the Sheer Cold effect, and allow you to explore much longer.

Note that the Statue of the Seven and Teleport Waypoints can also be a source of warmth in Dragonspine!

Warming Items

Warming Item	How to Get
Warming Bottle	- Reach Frostbearing Tree level 4 - Crafted
Goulash	- Complete the World Quest Ah, Fresh Meat! - Cooked

The Warming Bottle and the Goulash can also reduce the rate of Sheer Cold!
