Genshin Impact has revealed the use of Drained Conch Cups in its latest 4.2 update. The new world quest, In the Wake of Narcissus, has rewarded players with the Sword of Narzissenkreuz. This brand-new 4-star sword has unique properties and requires the Drained Conch Cups as a refinement material. There are four of these spread across Fontaine.
You will automatically come across some of them while progressing through the Narzissenkreuz quest line. Others, meanwhile, can be obtained from hidden exploration objectives. This guide will cover all the locations of these conches and how they can be used to refine the new 4-star sword in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact: Drained Conch Cup Locations and Guide
Genshin Impact 4.2 has released all information about Drained Conch Cups and how they can be used to refine the Sword of Narzissenkreuz. Many players might already have one to three conches in their inventory. After the release of Eriynnes Forest, you can collect up to four Drained Conch Cups in your inventory. Let's look at how to find and use them.
Institute of Natural Philosophy: Secret room
The first Drained Conch Cup can be found inside a secret room in the Institute of Natural Philosophy. You may have already stumbled upon this place during the Aqueous Tidemarks world quest. If you have yet to visit this location in Genshin Impact, follow these instructions:
- Teleport to northeast waypoint.
- Head north and follow the route.
- Move across the water body to find the secret room.
Interact with the device to open the door, revealing a precious chest, a Hydroculus, and a Rifthound Whelp. Defeat it to unlock the precious chest and collect the Drained Conch Cup.
Narzisskenkreuz Ordo: Precious chest
After completing the Aqueous Tidemarks world quest, revisit this location. Read a book that will unlock a waypoint to help you quickly travel to Narzissenkreuz Ordo. Once inside the Narzissenkreuz base, you will find two treasure chests.
Open the precious chest to retrieve the second Drained Conch Cup.
North cave of Loch Urania
You can find the third Drained Conch Cup from a precious chest located in a cave north of Loch Urania. Do note that you will have to complete the new world quest, The Wild Fairy of Erinnyes, which can be initiated in Marcotte station.
Once completed, visit the north cave to find this precious chest alongside Pashiv.
Bravais' Hidden Study
The last Drained Conch Cup can be found inside Bravai's Hidden Study. You will need to collect eight mysterious ores and forge the Arkhium Lumenite to access this room. Look for the precious chest that contains the last conch.
Go to Annapausis fountain to create Surging Sacred Chalices
Once all four Drained conch cups are obtained, teleport to Annapausis's west waypoint. From here, head west to the edge of this area to find a small fountain and interact with it. Players can submit the Drained Conch Cups here to transform them into Surging Sacred Chalices. These newly formed items can then be used as refinement materials for the Sword of Narzissenkreuz in Genshin Impact.
