Back to All Characters

Genshin Impact players who have completed the first few chapters of Natlan's Archon Quest will be familiar with Citlali, also known as Granny Itztli. She's now a playable character in Genshin Impact, using a catalyst and a Cryo Vision. She's quite the character, with a larger-than-life personality, but also plays a very important role in the fight against the Abyss.

Players who are interested in adding Citlali to their team would do well to find her ascension materials so they can power her up as much as possible. This will take some time in Natlan, as most of Citlali's ascension mats are found there.

Gemstones - Where to Find Shivada Jade

Shivada Jade is a blue gemstone used to ascend Cryo characters. Most of it is found in boss reward pools. The following bosses are those who can drop Shivada Jade when defeated:

*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Shivada Jade when they're aligned with Cryo.

For all the other ways of obtaining Shivada Jade, check this post:

Genshin Impact Shivada Jade Cryo
Genshin Impact: Where To Get Shivada Jade

Every Cryo character in Genshin Impact needs Shivada Jade to ascend. Here's where to get some!

Local Specialty - Where to Find Quenepa Berry

Like Kachina before her, Citlali will need to find some Quenepa Berries to ascend. These are a local specialty of Natlan and are found only around the Scions of the Canopy.

Luckily, they can be grown in the Serenitea Pot or purchased from Cintli in the Stadium of Sacred Flames. He sells five of them for 5,000 Mora each, restocking every three days.

Quenepa Berry in Genshin Impact grows in groups, so it's easier to collect them from the Teyvat map.

Boss Drop - How to Get Talisman of the Enigmatic Land

The Talisman of the Enigmatic Land boss drop comes from the Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker — a boss that released alongside Citlali. We don't yet have this boss guide posted, but check back soon!

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Saurian Fangs

Natlan Saurians, when defeated, can drop their fangs. These are used in some character ascensions, including Citlali. At higher levels, they can drop better items:

Natlan Saurians are found basically everywhere in Natlan, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding their fangs!

For help with finding them and a few suggested farming routes, this guide is here to help:

Genshin Impact players looking to find Saurians can follow this easy route in Natlan.

Talent Books - Kindling

Citlali joins Xilonen and others in using the Kindling series. These are obtained from the Blazing Ruins domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Knowing the schedule for some of Genshin Impact's Domains can help players collect certain items relatively painlessly.

Trounce Materials - Denial and Judgment

The only material used in powering up Citlali that isn't found in Natlan is her trounce material. Instead, players will need to venture back to Fontaine, as the Denial and Judgment item drops only from The Knave trounce domain. This domain is unlocked by completing Arlecchino's Story Quest.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
