One of the most fascinating and important characters in the lore of Genshin Impact is Skirk, a Cryo sword character from somewhere beyond Teyvat. She serves as Childe’s master, and a massive lore-bomber during the Fontaine Archon Quest.

Skirk is sure to be a popular character that many people pull for. If you’re one of those people, here’s a guide to ascending her and upgrading her talents.

Gemstones – Where to Find Shivada Jade

There are several ways of obtaining each elemental gem, but the best and most reliable method is to defeat the bosses who can drop the right ones. For Shivada Jade, the Cryo gem, players will want to farm the rewards of the following bosses:

*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Shivada Jade when infused with Cryo during the battle

Local Specialty – Where to Find Skysplit Gembloom

Skysplit Gembloom

A local specialty of Natlan, Skysplit Gemblooms are a strange rock-like flower that Skirk uses in her ascension. These flowers can only be found in two places: inside the Ancient Sacred Mountain, and dotted around Atocpan near the Children of Echoes.

Luckily, a few more can be obtained every few days by growing them in the Serenitea Pot.

For a full list of farming routes and locations, check out this guide:

Boss Drop – How to Get Ensnaring Gaze

Tenebrous Papilla and its unique drop the ensnaring gaze

Players hoping to ascend Skirk will need to defeat the same boss who drops an ascension item for Chasca and Iansan: the Tenebrous Papilla. The item it drops is called the Ensnaring Gaze, and Skirk will need quite a few of them.

This boss is found near the Masters of the Night-Wind, in a cave underground. It can be a difficult boss, so be sure to come prepared.

Enemy Drop – Where to Find Meka Gears

Interestingly, Skirk only uses one item that can’t be obtained in Natlan: Meka Gears. These common enemy drops can only be found in Fontaine, as it’s the only place Clockwork Meka enemies can be found.

At higher levels, they can drop better items:

Players having trouble farming these gears can also consider buying them from Paimon’s Bargains, or converting Clockwork fish that they’ve caught.

Trounce Materials – Ascended Sample: Knight

The Game Before the Gate is a Mondstadt trounce domain unlocked after the Paralogism quest. One of the possible rewards for clearing this domain is the Ascended Sample: Knight, which can be used in Skirk’s upper-level talent upgrades.

Players who have not yet finished this quest and unlocked the trounce domain can instead use the Quick Challenge function, unlocked at AR40. Unfortunately, it can only be used in solo mode.
