Genshin Impact local legend locations and achievements

Genshin Impact has introduced eight hidden achievements with the Fontaine patch. To obtain those hidden achievements, players must locate and defeat eight Local Legends. It may sound easy to fight, but there are no specific in-game instructions to find these local legends.

But worry not. This article will explain where to find the local legends such as Iron Viscount, Ninianne, and Vivianne of the Lake.

All eight local legend locations and their hidden achievements in Genshin Impact
