Genshin Impact celebrated the holiday seasons this year by releasing its newest major update, Version 1.2. The new patch introduced a Cryo-rooted region named Dragonspine that boasts a diverse collection of new monsters, characters, quests, and weapons, all ready for players to encounter.
Travelers are finding that the new Dragonspine region, though relatively small in size on the map, actually features quite the expansive network of caverns and valleys to explore. The new Genshin Impact landmark also has its very own sort of hybrid Reputation/Statue of Seven-like system, involving an odd Frostbearing Tree and magical Crimson Agate, which can be unearthed throughout the region.
Basically, Crimson Agate is offered to Dragonspine’s Frostbearing Tree in exchange for the occasional reward. Once The Tree has earned enough Agate, it will level up (much like a player’s Reputation, or a Statue of Seven upon receiving Anemoculi), and at certain level milestones, it will reward the Traveler with rare gifts like blueprints to the four-star catalyst, Frostbearer. Much like with Anemoculi and Geoculi in Mondstadt and Liyue, Dragonspine’s Crimson Agate can be found floating around the more hidden corners of the area.
Travelers can find Crimson Agate not only by simply looking up and around while traveling, but also by completing certain challenges or puzzles, like the notorious “pressure plate puzzle.” Players who venture over to the western cape of Dragonspine, just east of the map’s “Sal Terrae” text, will discover a series of old plates in the ground just beside a strange stone wall. Upon closer inspection, players will find that each of the plates bears one of two symbols, each of which is depicted four different times on the wall – this holds the key to the pressure plate puzzle solution.
The image above, courtesy of Redditor u/sleepychotz, bears one of many examples of possible solutions to the pressure plate puzzle. In short though, players must simply activate four consecutive pressure plates of the same symbol, and then step on the remaining four. The challenge isn’t given to players as part of any of the quests or tasks relating to the Frostbearing Tree, so it may be hard to originally discover, but thankfully, it’s a simple solve.
When the player steps on a pressure plate, its corresponding “mark” on the wall will illuminate – this can be used as a reference guide while performing the task. They should simply pick a pressure plate, and then be sure to only step on the three other pressure plates sharing the same symbol, before stepping on any of the remaining plates.
Once the puzzle has been completed Travelers will be rewarded with not only a Crimson Agate, but also a Luxurious Chest containing some valuable materials, like Hero’s Wit. Players should note that one of the pressure plates is encased in ice at first, so the puzzle isn’t totally accessible until this is remedied. There’s some conveniently placed Scarlet Quartz that will help thaw the special ice, and after that Travelers should be all set to earn this Crimson Agate.
Genshin Impact is available now on the App Store, Google Play, PC, and PS4, and is currently in development for PS5 and Switch.
