A fascinating character inGenshin Impactis Chongyun, a young exorcist who wields a claymore and a Cryo Vision. Chongyun was born with significant yang (positive energy), which makes his job as an exorcist very easy. However, his energy is so powerful that spirits flee immediately, meaning he’s never seen one for himself.
In battle, Chongyun uses a claymore and his Cryo powers to inflict massive damage on enemies. To improve his combat potential, it’s best to ascend him and upgrade his talents using the items and Mora listed here.

Where to Find All of Chongyun’s Materials
Gemstones - Where to Find Shivada Jade
This elemental stone, used by Cryo characters, can be found in the same ways as the other elemental stones: souvenir shops, the Parametric Transformer, daily commission rewards, and by defeating bosses. The following bosses can drop Shivada Jade:
*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Shivada Jade when they’re aligned with Cryo.
Enemy Drop - Where to Find Damaged Mask, Stained Mask, Ominous Mask
There is no shortage of Hilichurls around Teyvat, so it shouldn’t be too hard to collect their materials for Chongyun’s ascension. However, they’ll need to be certain levels for certain drops.
40+
60+
Ominous Mask
When it comes to these materials, it’s not just standard Hilichurls that can drop them. Lawachurls, Mitachurls, and Samachurls can all drop these Masks, too.
Boss Drop - How to Get Hoarfrost Core
Chongyun’s boss material is the Hoarfrost Core. These icy materials can be found by defeating the Cryo Regisvine, which is found in the northern portion of Mondstadt, on the Falcon Coast.
It’s important to note that the Cryo Regisvine has a strong resistance to Cryo damage, meaning Chongyun might not be the best character to fight it with.
Local Specialty - Where to Find Cor Lapis
Chongyun joins Keqing and Zhongli in using Cor Lapis for his ascension. This mineral can be found dotted around Liyue, especially on Mt. Hulao, around Luhua Pool, in the surface area of the Chasm, and on Cuijue Slope.
Anyone having trouble farming Cor Lapis in the wild can also head to Liyue Harbor and speak with Changshung, who runs a store just to the left of the Liyue souvenir shop. She sells five Cor Lapis for 7,500 Mora each. She’ll restock them every three days.
Talent Books - Diligence
The Diligence series is used by several characters, including Chongyun. These books can be obtained from the Taishan Mansion domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Trounce Materials - Dvalin’s Sigh
Defeating Stormterror is a must for anyone who wants to level up Chongyun’s talents. One of Dvalin’s drops, Dvalin’s Sigh, is obtained in this way. Chongyun is one of a few characters that uses this material in his talent upgrades.
