Genshin Impact: The Chalk Prince and the Dragon

Starting off with a unique new region to the open-world map of Genshin Impact, Dragonspine is a snow-clad mountain located on the south of Moonstadt.

Dragonspine boasts three main points of interest, namely:

• The Starglow Cavern - A cavern hidden in the depths of Dragonspine with unique glowing plantations growing all around the place.
• Entombed City - An old city lying beneath "the eternal ice."
• Wymrest Valley - The final resting spot for the black dragon, the snow around this region appears scarlet from the exuding life force of the dragon's core.

The new five-star rated playable character, Albedo, is a genius Alchemist as well as the Captain of the Knights of Favonius' Investigation Team.

Very little is known about the new character before his introduction in Genshin Impact. However, miHoYo has confirmed three talents for the new character, namely:

• Favonius Bladework - Weiss: Normal Attack
• Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma (Geo-elemental skill)
• Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide (Geo-elemental burst)

Apart from these two new inclusions, patch 1.2 for Genshin Impact will also witness a new event, The Chalk Prince and the Dragon.

Scheduled to begin on January 5th, 2021, and run until January 12th, 2021, The Chalk Prince and the Dragon event requires players to meet three criteria to participate in the event. The criteria are as follows:

• The player must have an Adventure Rank higher than 20.
• The player must have completed the Archon Quest, "For a Tomorrow Without Tears."
• The player must have completed Albedo's Story Quest, "Princeps Cretaceus Chapter."
