Genshin Impact 7.2 Local Legends Locations, Quests & Rewards

The Genshin Impact 7.2 Local Legends are Ancient Ironquill, Elder Blighttree, and Rowdy Beast Host, and all three sit in Snezhnaya. Ancient Ironquill waits in a hidden cave at Hallowed Plain in Wingspan Peak, and the other two share Novokitezhgrad, with Elder Blighttree inside Crystal-Tree Grotto and Rowdy Beast Host in a cave north of Downtown Novokitezhgrad.

None of the three shows up on the map by default. Each fight stays locked behind a specific world quest or puzzle, and every boss carries bonus Valiant Chronicles objectives that pay extra Primogems on top of the basic win. Each arena route, the quest that opens every fight, and the fastest way to clear all nine objectives follow in order below.

Where to Find All Genshin Impact 7.2 Local Legends

All three Genshin Impact 7.2 Local Legends live in Snezhnaya, and each fight stays hidden until players finish a specific world quest or puzzle chain. Valiant Chronicles lists every objective after the first encounter, so tracking progress gets simple once an arena opens up.

The three bosses split across two Snezhnaya areas with separate quest requirements.

Local Legends play differently from overworld fights like the Wavebinder boss. Every legend carries bonus objectives that pay out only when players meet a specific combat condition, so a plain win covers just one third of the rewards.

Two of the bosses share Novokitezhgrad, which lets players clear Elder Blighttree and Rowdy Beast Host on the same trip. Wingspan Peak hosts only Ancient Ironquill, so a separate run there keeps the route efficient.

Ancient Ironquill Location in Wingspan Peak

Ancient Ironquill hides in a sealed cave at Hallowed Plain in Wingspan Peak, and the entrance stays frozen until players complete Into the Valley's Shadow and track down three Fluffahogs. The search starts at the Teleport Waypoint on the east side of Hallowed Plain.

Following these steps opens the cave and frees the boss from its ice.

1. Head south from the eastern waypoint: Walk down the slope to the ice blocks ringed with gifts, talk to the nearby Fluffahog, and follow it along the broken train.

2. Feed the Fluffahog group three Rimecurrants: Inspect the Rimecurrant plant and hand over the berries, breaking the nearby ice if the supply runs short.

3. Find the first Fluffahog by the Seelie statue: Build a Pickaxe ice construct with the regional gadget, smash the rock piles near the statue, and inspect the snow mound.

4. Find the second Fluffahog beside the Common Chest: Keep the Pickaxe in hand, break the rocks along the wall, and inspect the spot next to the chest.

5. Find the third Fluffahog across the bridge: Cross over, destroy the rocks on the far side, and inspect the snow mound there.

6. Enter the melted cave and strike the ice: The Fluffahogs melt a path to a cave holding a Remarkable Chest and the frozen boss, and one hit on the ice starts the fight.

The fight itself rewards patience over damage. Ancient Ironquill summons spikes across the arena, and luring its leaping strike onto the spikes or launching them with a Charged Attack knocks it down.

Landing the final blow with its own spikes clears all three Valiant Chronicles objectives in one run. Return trips go faster through the broken train, since players can face west from the eastern waypoint, step inside, and walk straight to the arena.

Elder Blighttree Location in Crystal-Tree Grotto

Elder Blighttree guards Crystal-Tree Grotto, an underground area connected to Teplo Oasis in Novokitezhgrad. The grotto stays closed until players finish Let Not All Rivers Run Dry, and anyone stuck on its light crystal puzzles can follow the quest walkthrough first.

Reaching the arena after the quest takes only a few moves.

• Teleport to the northwest grotto waypoint: The top-left Teleport Waypoint of Crystal-Tree Grotto overlooks the arena from above.

• Drop down into the lower area: Elder Blighttree stands next to the mechanism players used during the world quest.

• Heal up and ready every skill first: The fight begins on the first attack, so a full HP bar and charged bursts give the best start.

Everything in this fight revolves around the Geo Ward. Elder Blighttree periodically leaps backward, roots itself, and starts restoring the Ward inside a red zone, leaving roughly 18 seconds to break the incomplete shield.

Moving diagonally toward the boss dodges its ground attacks and falling projectiles, and stepping into the red zone stops that attack sequence. Breaking the Ward stuns Elder Blighttree for about ten seconds, which opens the best window to unload every major skill.

Any hit absorbed by a character shield still counts against the no-hit objective. Dodging beats tanking in this phase, and one clean rooted phase can clear all three objectives in a single battle.

Rowdy Beast Host Location North of Downtown Novokitezhgrad

Rowdy Beast Host waits in a cave beside the big waterfall north of Downtown Novokitezhgrad. The arena opens only after the Curious Light quest, which starts with an old miner named Gudi.

Completing the quest chain leads players straight into the boss arena.

• Talk to the old miner Gudi: Gudi starts Curious Light and sets players on the trail.

• Inspect the tracks on the ground: The tracks reveal the next leg of the route toward the cave.

• Follow the trail of fallen crystals: The crystals lead directly to the arena entrance.

• Enter the arena to face the boss: Rowdy Beast Host appears inside and the fight begins.

Rowdy Beast Host is actually a trio of Volkodlaks named Stavrogin, Varvara, and Verkhovensky, and the leader changes after each daily reset. Around the middle of the fight, the active Volkodlak calls on Fraternal Aid and gains a Ward, leaving about 30 seconds to break it.

Stellar reactions tear through the Ward fastest, and pairing the Cryo Traveler with Electro or Anemo characters triggers them reliably. Saving key skills for the moment Fraternal Aid activates makes each interruption far more consistent.

The first two objectives clear in one successful fight. The third requires interrupting Fraternal Aid against every Volkodlak leader, so players return across several daily resets until all three fall under the right conditions.

Genshin Impact 7.2 Local Legend Rewards

Every Local Legend objective feeds into Valiant Chronicles, and Katheryne at the Adventurers' Guild tracks progress after the first encounter with each boss. Completing objectives pays out Primogems alongside upgrade materials and Mora.

Every objective across the three bosses carries its own reward bundle.

The harder objectives pay the same Primogem amount as the basic win, so skipping the bonus conditions leaves two thirds of the Primogems on each boss unclaimed. Players below the required World Level can still bank the first two objectives and return later for the final one.

Valiant Chronicles progress across the three legends also leads to the Crystalline Frost avatar frame. Players chasing more combat rewards can stack these Primogems with endgame modes like Stygian Onslaught.

Best Teams for Genshin Impact 7.2 Local Legends

Each legend punishes a different weakness, so one team rarely fits all three fights. Matching the lineup to the boss saves time and makes the bonus objectives far easier to clear.

Team priorities shift with each boss and its core mechanic.

• Ancient Ironquill accepts almost any lineup: The spikes deal the decisive damage, so mobility and survival matter more than raw DPS.

• Elder Blighttree rewards Geo, Overload, and Stellar damage: All three chew through the Geo Ward inside the rooted window, and Pyro plus Electro characters cover Overload.

• Rowdy Beast Host needs the Stellar reaction more than premium units: Any well-built team that can trigger the reaction breaks Fraternal Aid in time.

Level, weapon, and artifact investment matter more here than in regular overworld fights, since all three legends carry far higher HP than standard enemies. Healers and buffers keep the base fights comfortable, and a solid Furina build adds damage and healing across longer encounters.

Swapping teams between fights costs nothing, so building a dedicated Stellar or Geo squad for the Ward phases pays off across every attempt. Players can keep their main DPS ready for the stun windows that follow each successful break.

FAQs About Genshin Impact 7.2 Local Legends

Final Words

The 7.2 Local Legends favor players who study a fight before throwing damage at it. Spike placement, rooted phases, and summoned Wards all turn into openings once the pattern clicks, which makes these bosses useful practice for harder endgame content.

Accounts with a deep roster swap into Geo or Stellar lineups with ease, and smaller accounts can still rely on mechanics that ignore premium units. A few days of patient attempts collect every Valiant Chronicles objective without forcing a single extra wish.
