Genshin Impact has finally launched a new patch 3.4 update. Players can now explore a newly released area called the Desert of Hadramaveth. A new local specialty called the Sand Grease Pupa has also been introduced in the game.

The new 5-star, Alhaitham will need Sand Grease Pupa as his ascension material. Based on the leaks, Dehya will also need the same material when she debuts.

Irrespective of which character players want to farm, they will have to collect 168 of these Sand Grease Pupa for max ascension. The following article will include all the locations where new local specialties can be harvested in Genshin Impact.


Spawn locations for the Sand Grease Pupa in the Genshin Impact 3.4 update

Genshin Impact 3.4 update has introduced new and rerun character banners, including the new 5-star character, Alhaitham. Players who obtained him from his debut rate-up banner will want to level him up as soon as possible.

The new region, Desert of Hadramaveth, contains two of the most important items players need to prioritize for Alhaitham's ascension.

One is the Psuedo-Stamen, a boss material dropped by a new Anemo boss found in the new area. The other item is the new local specialty, Sand Grease Pupa.

In Genshin Impact, these items are referred to husks found deep in the desert, where Quicksand Eels breed. The hardened shell is designed to protect the larval bodies of these creatures until they acclimatize to the dry desert conditions. Because of their shape and color, they can easily be mistaken for iron chunks. Here are all the locations to explore to harvest these new local specialties.
