Act 1 - Festering Desire

Steps

  2. Find Albedo and learn his secret
  3. Take up the mysterious sword and do battle
  4. Defeat the Treasure Hoarders
  5. Speak to Albedo
  6. Festering Desire Event - Act 1

Head to the adventurer camp

Head over to the Adventure Camp and speak to Sucrose, she will tell you that Albedo seems to be hiding something and asks you to see what he’s up to.

Find Albedo and learn his secret

Head to the his campsite and speak to Albedo and he will tell you about a sword that has a curse upon it and that you are immune to it, which leads him to ask if you can help him.

Take up the mysterious sword and do battle

Glide to the marker on your map and defeat all the Cryo Slimes, Pyro and Electro are extremely strong against most enemies here, so make sure to take advantage of that.

Defeat the Treasure Hoarders

After the battle and a short scene, you’ll have to fight two waves of Treasure Hoarders, same as before, hit them with Pyro and Electro for the Overload status to increase your damage against them. If you’re having trouble with them, use a Geo shield user like Noelle and Zhongli to negate a lot of their damage.

Speak to Albedo

Talk to Albedo again and after a short scene you’ll complete the quest and receive the Festering Desire sword and will unlock the first part of the event.

Festering Desire Event - Act 1

You’ll now have the Festering Desire and you’ll have to collect Rime-Worn Fragments which have a chance to drop from all the enemies within Dragonspine, you’ll also need Rime-Worn Crystals which drop from the normal boss type enemies. This will reward you with Primogems and Mora.

Here you can see the challenges for Act 1 of the Event.

When you enhance the Festering Desire to level 2, you’ll be rewarded some Ascension Materials, the same when you enhance it to level 3. To enhance the sword, you’ll need to upgrade it like any other weapon, you’ll need Fetters of the Dandelion Gladiator, Heavy Horn and Recruit’s Insignia, as you enhance the level further, you’ll need their upgrades.
