Where to Get Iris

Note: You can toggle the Area drop down menu to see more areas.

Iris is abundant in Whining Aix's Mire within Huanglong. However, a portion of the area is inaccessible prior to completing the exploration quest Stygian Lacrimosa. We recommend finishing this quest to maximize collection of this material.

Where to Get Gold-Dissolving Feather

Get from Impermanence Heron in Camp Overwatch

Impermanence Heron Location
Gold-Dissolving Feather is obtained from the overworld boss, Impermanence Heron. Impermanence Heron is located in Camp Overwatch within the Desorock Highland area in Huanglong.

Impermanence Heron can be fought without much progression in the story. Descend the peaks of the mountain in Camp Overwatch to access the boss and the resonance beacon near it.

Taoqi is a Broadblade character, so their Waveworn Residue materials will come from Forgery Challenges. We suggest doing the Huanglong Forgery Challenges so you can get Howler Core passively.
