Genshin Impact has finally introduced a non-Cryo character from Mondstadt for the first time since Albedo’s release in Version 1.1: Dahlia! He’s a four-star Hydro sword character, and also serves as a deacon at the Church of Favonius.

Secretly a good friend of Barbatos, Dahlia features prominently in the Paralogism Archon Quest, relaying information between Venti and the people of Mondstadt. For those who are adding this interesting character to their team, this guide will be a vital resource.

Where to Find All of Dahlia’s Materials

Gemstones – Where to Find Varunada Lazurite

Varunada Lazurite is the elemental gem used by all Hydro characters. Much of it will be obtained by defeating bosses, but some can be found in other ways as well. Here’s a list of the bosses who can drop it:

*Both the Primo Geovishap and Azhdaha can only drop Varunada Lazurite when they are infused with Hydro.

Every Hydro character in Genshin Impact will use Varunada Lazurite in their ascension, so here’s where to find it.

Local Specialty – Where to Find Calla Lilies

Calla Lilies are a nice orange flower that mostly only grows in Mondstadt, though players can also grow some in the Serenitea Pot. Much of it is dotted around the ponds of Springvale, though it can be found all across the Nation of Freedom.

Players can also purchase it from Flora. She sells 5 of them for 1,000 Mora each, and restocks every three days.

Boss Drop – How to Get Secret Source Airflow Accumulator

Located on a small isolated island in Natlan, just southwest of the Great Volcano, is this strange boss from the era of the ancient dragons. It drops the Secret Source Airflow Accumulator, a unique boss-drop that’s used in Dahlia’s ascension.

Enemy Drop – Where to Find Hilichurl Shooter Arrowheads

Players shouldn’t have much problem farming Hilichurl Arrowheads, as Hilichurl Shooters can be found almost everywhere in abundance. These are the common enemy drops used in Dahlia’s ascension and talent upgrades. At higher levels, they can drop better and better items:

Enemy Level	Possible Drops
Any	Firm Arrowhead
40+	Sharp Arrowhead
60+	Weathered Arrowhead

If you do find yourself a bit short on these items, check out these farming route suggestions:

Hilichurl Shooters in Genshin Impact grant some Arrowhead drops on top of the typical Hilichurl Masks.

Talent Books – Ballad

Due to his close relationship with Venti the bard, it’s a bit fitting that Dahlia uses the Ballad series of talent books. These are obtained from the Forsaken Rift domain on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Knowing the schedule for some of Genshin Impact’s Domains can help players collect certain items relatively painlessly.

Trounce Materials – Eroded Scale-Feather

Despite his close association with the Mondstadt quest Paralogism, which introduced the Game Before the Gate trounce around the same time as Dahlia’s release, he strangely uses trounce drops from Natlan’s trounce domain Stone Stele Records. Players can unlock this domain by finishing the Natlan Archon Quest, or they can challenge it in solo mode only by using the Quick Challenge function after reaching AR40.

The specific drop used by Dahlia is the Eroded Scale-Feather.
