Genshin Impact Crystal Core locations: All areas with an interactive map (December 2021)

Crystal Cores are among the most desirable items to get in Genshin Impact, making an interactive map a lifesaver when it comes to saving time.

No characters or weapons use Crystal Cores as materials; instead, it is valuable for the items that players can craft and forge. There are four items in total:

• Adepti Seeker's Forge
• Condensed Resin
• Frostshield Potion
• Windbarrier Potion

Out of the four, Condensed Resin is typically what most Genshin Impact players want. They can only hold up to five of them at a time, but it essentially doubles the loot players get at Ley Line Outcrops and Domains.

Hence, it's useful for grinding. Crystal Cores come from any Crystalfly, of which there are currently:

• Anemo
• Cryo
• Electro
• Geo

How to acquire a Crystal Core

To acquire a Crystal Core in Genshin Impact, go up to any elemental Crystalfly and catch them with the relevant interaction button. Keep in mind that Crystalflies don't spawn in the rain. If it's raining, proceed to skip time and teleport out of a location before returning to it.

Genshin Impact players should know that Crystalflies will attempt to fly away when they approach them. Still, it's possible to collect all of them and receive their Crystal Nodes.

Travelers don't have an arbitrary limit to how many Crystal Cores they can carry, other than the game's usual maximum limit.
