Where to Get Gold-Dissolving Feather

Get from Impermanence Heron in Camp Overwatch

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.
