Ganyu, the half-qilin queen of ranged DPS, requires a variety of Ascension Materials that can be gathered in multiple provinces across Teyvat of Genshin Impact. The resources needed to ascend the fan-favorite Cocogoat are not bound to a single region. As a result, farming Ganyu Ascension Materials can be done with ease passively and actively. It is no secret that the half-human Adeptus is one of the best Bow units in the game. So the fact that her materials are easy to procure definitely sweetens the deal.
What does Ganyu need to Ascend in Genshin Impact?
To ascend Ganyu in Genshin Impact, you’ll need to gather the following materials: Qingxin, Shivada Jade, Hoarfrost Cores, and Whopperflower Drops. Starting with Qingxin, this Liyue flower can be found in abundance across the region. It can conveniently be grown with the Luxuriant Glebe farm plot in your Serenitea Pot. Furthermore, Herbalist Gui of Bubu Pharmacy and Babak in Port Ormos of Sumeru both sell Qingxin.

Next is Shivada Jade, an Ascension Gem that drops from multiple Normal Bosses across Teyvat, including Weekly Bosses like Azhdaha. If you want to farm bosses that are guaranteed to grant Shivada Jade, Cryo Hypostasis and Cryo Regisvine are your best bets. Cryo Hypostasis is located in a small gorge in Dragonspine that becomes accessible after completing “In the Mountains.” Conversely, you can find and challenge Cryo Regisvine immediately in its lair at Falcon Coast.
Hoarfrost Cores is the third of Ganyu Ascension Materials and is solely dropped by the Cryo Regisvine in Genshin Impact. Therefore, if you’re attempting to preserve your Resin, you can simultaneously farm the Regisvine for both Shivada Jade and Hoarfrost Cores. Additionally, this Normal Boss is incredibly easy to defeat. With a Ganyu Melt Team of Ganyu, Xiangling, Bennett, and Zhongli, you can take out the Cryo Regisvine in less than a minute.
The final material Ganyu needs to ascend in Genshin Impact is the drops from Whopperflower enemies. You can encounter these creatures in the wild or via a Ley Line Outcrop. If you’re short on time, consider giving Paimon’s Bargains a visit and spending any excess Masterless Stardust you have from banner-pulling. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube for common Whopperflower spots, or you can utilize the Adventurer Handbook’s tracking ability to mark the enemies’ spawn locations.
Genshin Impact is available on PC, Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
