Gemstones - Vajrada Amethyst

Like every otherElectro user inGenshin Impact, Keqing will need Vajrada Amethyst with each ascension. This purple gemstone can be obtained through the Souvenir Shops, or by defeating bosses found around the world, including the following:

*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Vajrada Amethyst when infused with Electro!

Enemy Drop - Nectar

Unlike Vajrada Amethyst, findingWhopperflower Nectarfor Keqing’s ascensions will be a little more difficult to collect. Nectar is obtained by defeating Whopperflowers, which are both an annoying enemy to fight and difficult to find in large numbers. Whopperflowers can be found in every region of Teyvat so far, especially in areas like Cuijue Slope in Liyue.

Boss Drop - Lightning Prism

Eachcharacter inGenshin Impactrequires a special boss drop. Keqing’s boss drop is theLightning Prism, which can be obtained by defeating the Electro Hypostasis in Mondstadt. This makes the Electro Hypostasis a priority target when building Keqing, as players can collect both Lightning Prisms and Vajrada Amethyst at the same time.

Local Specialty - Cor Lapis

Much like the other ascension items for Keqing,Cor Lapisis a material that is both hard to collect and scarce. Like collecting other ores around Liyue, players will need to scale tough mountains, all for one of the rarest ores inGenshin Impact. Players can collect Cor Lapis for Keqing by traveling to locations like Mt. Hulao, or by purchasing it from Changshun in Liyue Harbor.

Talent Books - Prosperity

As a member of the Liyue Qixing, Keqing is a character with a grand plan for Liyue’s prosperity (one that she saysincludes the Travelers). For this reason, it’s no surprise that Keqing needs Books of Prosperity to upgrade her talents.

For those unaware, Books of Prosperity can be obtained by completing the Taishan Mansion domain on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday.

Trounce Materials

After upgrading talents to level 6, players will need Trounce Materials obtained from weekly boss fights to further upgrade a character. Keqing needs Rings of Boreas to ascend her talents past level 6. Despite Keqing being a Liyue character, these can be obtained by finishing the Wolf of the North boss fight in Mondstadt’s Wolvendom.
