Revisiting Dragonspine 

I loved Dragonspine when it was fresh. I rarely found Sheer Cold to be an obstacle, I think in a few places it was annoying and sure enough I did die to it a few times but most of the time just having a pyro character in the party and looking out for torches and warming pillars was plenty sufficient. And the atmosphere was so different from all the rest of the world back in version 1, it was feeling like a completely new game.

Ah, missing the old times so much.

I had to explore much of Dragonspine while having a Pyro character to mitigate the Sheer Cold, giving me time to survive. I also had to clear hard challenges despite being below AR 20. It was a beautiful memory of exploring Dragonspine before completing the final Archon Quest of Mondstadt.

Here we go again. Dragonspine. Glad we can remember that old cold region that froze all of us Travelers to death because of the Sheer Cold mechanic.

I had 100% completion and absolutely missed those three puzzle chests near the Statue...

Years later, Dragonspine is still my favorite place.

If you get lucky as a new player and pull Dehya, Dragonspine exploration becomes trivial since frostbite can never get you.

I'm being dead serious when I say that Dragonspine is my favourite area. It was the first place I got 100% exploration in. Am I... a masochist?

1:40 Somehow it makes me feels nostalgic to that perdiod, when I wasn't full of fully built OP characters and having to fight a ruin graders was an actual challenge

Idk how I explored 80% of Dragonspine with just Amber as my pyro character plus Noelle, Barbara and Kaeya. I laugh now but in the past I was having meltdowns for how many times I died or got frozen by Barbara's healing during fights

Dragonspine is one of the best places I explored, I live in a tropical country and snow fascinates me. The sheer cold didn't give me any problems while exploring. One of my funny moments is exploring dragonspine at AR 13 and very underleveled, took Kaeya thinking that he would be immune to the cold since he's a cryo holder.

We'll probably get more Ice Mountains like this once we reach Snezhnaya

this editing is so good i cant breathe

Aah the nostalgia of one of favourite regions of all time that killed me the most and my first 100% region in 1.2

Ah glad to see that after 4 years of playing the game we all decide to randomly go back to Dragonspine just to suffer

Ma brain first visit dragonespine Dragonespine = Cold Cryo Character = Cold = immune

It feels really nostalgic because back then my character isn't powerful enough to face the challenges and sheer cold. Now even with new region mechanic,it doesn't feel the same because my characters are fully build and I'm not clueless like i was before. I guess it's one of the advantages of being a new player

Dehya is an unbothered chad in dragonspine. Yaoyao is such a gigachad all her friends are unbothered too

I really love my co-op friends back theree .. they help me reach 77% explore even when I only fckng have traveler and the other free characters (kaeya, amber, and barbara) 😭 what a great memoryy I miss them all

even after doing 100% of the map, there still extra red oculi and some chests around

I suppose a perk of starting the game pretty late was that I didn't necessarily have to suffer this. I went to light up some of the area around AR 20ish, decided fuck that, played all the way through to Inazuma/Sumeru and came back at AR 45 I think. Maybe that's why I ended up loving it so much, I had other content to do instead. The hardest part was actually exploration 100%, but I finally found the one chest a couple weeks ago. Also just huge shout out to my boy Lyney haha, he was my second 5* and absolutely carried me through Dragonspine

During those times, dragonspine without co-op was basically a souls game

Ah, my favourite region at that time I 100% it before in like 1.5 while being lvl 50. I remember how I was exploring and came to dragonspine by chance, my charas were like lvl 10 and the mobs were lvl 30 Still kicked their ass

its crazy to think that dragonspine really release 3 years ago

i love dragonspine so much, its always been my favorite area

I had Dragonsine on 98% for the longest time. Just recently I finally finished it.

Pro Tip -Use Dehya in Dragonspine

Meanwhile natlan and snezhnaya with their sheer hot and sheer cold mechanism waiting in the darkness 💀💀 Somehow i feel like our easygoing explore mechanism in fontaine is like the calm before the storm, me and my friends scared upon imagining the sheer hot from signora boss fight will absolutely be back in natlan volcanoes area, and sheer cold in some or worsen in all of snezhnaya area 💀 better yet i'll also back to dragonspine to train lmao

Fun fact: the best character to explore Dragonspine is Dheya lvl 60. Her passive is making her regain ~40% when she's unde 30% I think. On short she is slefhealig. 😂

i have a love hate relationship with Dragonspine because i had it at 99% exploration for years and i could not find another chest or something to 100% it ... just recently after 3 years i was able to 100% never again lol and now i have the same problem at Enkanomiya sitting at 90 something % exploration T T

Albedo hanging up his laundry between the mountains? I love it.

Not me at low AR, no sense of team/character building, and just winging it thinking I had to go through Dragonspine and complete before reaching Liyue 😭. Started playing v1.3 (more towards the 2nd half of it), and so I had no knowledge about GI at that time, ehe

This was me a month ago when I decided to get the last 5% exploration. I felt so much nostalgia being back there 😂😂😂

ah yes my ass rawdogging dragonspine just to get to liyue. not knowing you can just go through that other side. climbing and flying through mountains, not even using the paths with only vibes and no torches. just desperation.

Ah yes I remember setting myself on fire as Sayu so I can keep myself warm while rolling through the snow. Good times.

2:08 is literally my case when exploring anything 😭

You will never see me visiting this place ever again. I 100% all map except this. even when I put my daily commissions on Monstad, since there’s other way to complete the commission, I don’t have to do the one that appears there.

All my memories of dragonspine are horrific

TRUE af unless u have Dehaya

My climbing and gliding skills improved so much because I kept looking for ways to go up the peak. I thought that the side was the way to go. Millons of deaths later, I decided to consult the tutorials lol

Dragonspine was hell for me early-game; my only Pyro characters were Xiangling and Amber, which meant goofy ahh cooldowns and low damage output, respectively. It took forever and I still haven't come close to 100-percenting it yet, though I should probably go back with my monopyro team now that I have Dehya, Benny and Thoma.

I just got Ayaka and needed that domain at the top. I'm never going back to Dragonspine after that.

i enjoyed Dragonspine so bad, it was my first 100% and loved the story behind it, the cold(by the pilar), dead dragon, the old kingdom in ruins, the caves inside the mountine, it was a real challenge for me back then

Ah, if three years ago I had Furina or Kuki I wouldn't have to worry about dying from the cold.

Dragonspine was the biggest pain in the ass for me. I have so much resentment about this stupid mountain

It's all about survival in dragonspine

1:33 "you finally activated me lazy f*ck"😭

i was low AR that time, and i didn't totally understood how genshin worked, dragonspine was the map that took me most time (1 month more or less) but was amazing, i miss those times, now i feel genshin is getting easier and easier...

Maybe you forgot to feed the fox inside the cave? You need to do this 5 days irl before you got precious chest

4:35 sniper gaming

I swear litteraly everyone forgat that theres a soup that makes you get cold slower

Day 1 player, i was ar35 i think when Dragonspine dropped (i didn't want to ascend the ar i guess, i should've been higher). I 100% Dragonspine on the first day. The only region part i ever 100%ed on day 1. Smth cool was about it. And i remember my Boar King bugged for me and was lvl90 or smth, and my lvl70 ass was able to beat it somehow (most of my characters died). What a good days. Later i spent 4 days clearing it on my second account. I still find Dragonspine one of my favorite region parts, really. Despite the sheer cold thing. Dragonspine was chill place, if you get what i mean ;)

dragonspine was my 2nd 100% exploring area before going straight to Liyue

I literally keep watching the old exe videos specially Dragonspine lol This makes me so happy! I really miss the feeling as a newbie with low AR, poorly built, only 4 star characters going to this place. Snow regions in games makes me so excited so when I noticed one in Genshin I went in so happily and ran from there with an unforgettable memory of how that lawachurl near the Frost tree annihilated everyone in my team. That shit gave me ptsd and swore to never go there again alone. In coop I cleared most of the stuffs and revisiting there, knowing the lore from the beginning about happened here, absolute masterpiece of OSTs made me so emotionally attached to it. One of my top areas to keep visiting at times even if there's nothing to do :)

5:25 my anxiety level 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

I remember running around with Kaeya thinking I won't die to cold 💀💀 Nup, didn't help

I opened RU-vid to search for something but your video was at the top of my feed so I clicked and it was so good I forgot why I opened RU-vid in the first place lol 😂

RANDOM. FALLING. ICICLES. AAH.

Fight the sheer cold with one simple trick. Open up your events page. Start a trial character fight. Don't ACTUALLY start the trial. Just wait upon entering the trial room. Sheer cold goes down. Leave trial. Laugh. Rinse and repeat as needed

Dragonspine my 1.2 behated, thought Childe would be immune to the sheer cold but boy I was wrong

Thank God i already 100% exploration in this cold hell

I never died to the sheer cold mechanic Amber, noelle and barbruh carried me in that area

Ah remembering the good old days in Albedo's little playground. I'm gonna make me some hot Goulash after this😁

Dragonspine is just a mear replica, the true fun will start in sneznaya.

This is why I always bring Kuki with me for healing ❤

Lets not forget about that ONE dumbarse, stupid, dumb mistake of a quest where we have to go through so much pain defrosting 3 ice shards 💀

Still I didn't explored dragonspine After a foreign tried to help me, thank you!

the ending lmaoo this is why i dont pay the internet

When I first explore dragonspine I was shocked about the freezing mechanic and the damage that it deals,but then I suddenly came up with a idea "what if I switch to kaeya,he's a cryo after all,maybe cold won't affect him"and there goes still got wrecked

the old days are usually better, now I can oneshot almost everything on the map (everything but bosses and hidden bosses )

still remember got carried by rando who visit my world and clear those big pillar mission together. bro just do it for fun.

Heheh fun times. We had very limited characters back then and I couldn't get Zhongli so let's say it wasn't a pleasant experience. Heck, even Qiqi was a valuable member in my dragonspine exploration team cuz Barbara froze and Bennett buffed the cryo enemies.

Now that I have dehya I love dragonspine SO much. The area was just so cool. Monstadt was definitely my favourite area and I wish we’d get more quests there other than some daily

When I first scaled dragonspine I somehow missed the path up to the statue of the seven and climbed up the opposite side 😂 I was peeved when I got all the way up and saw a path

Back then Hu tao didn't exist and the simp was very little.

me watching this video at 70-something% exploration: is this a sign

I deliberately left a legendary weapon in Dragonspain and left it there as a sign of 100% exploration 😶‍🌫️

I like how people still don't know about stamina food

I dont mind the sheer cold mechanic, i just hate the alarming sound it makes when we got frostbite lol.

Thanks, you showed me puzzles that i missed. Maybe i'll finally reach 100% exploration in Dragonspine, because i'm at 95% currently and i'm losing my mind lmao

I came to Dragonspine at level when Co Op unlocks, because i had going too fast on the Archon quests, so i couldnt achieve an adventure rank requirements to go to Liyue. I didnt know that daily commissions are giving EXP. I thought, the dragonspine was the only choice, because i had no other quests left (didnt know about story keys as well) and i thought this is what genshin really is. AN abandoned by gods world, cruel and hardcore gameplay aka Dark Souls, where to beat a hilichurl with totem you need good artifacts, good characters, good weapon and good luck as well. Most of the enemies i just ignored like I would go out to farm local specialties nowadays, but back then, a 3 hilichurls where for me a serious trouble. I didnt even think about fight Fatui's, i just run away every time they got triggered to battle action. I didnt even know how to heal as long i came to Dragonspine and found out that statue is healing and warms your characters. Barbara was my healer in Dragonspine btw, which is pain. I got excited by level of the difficulty and all that ended when I got Kazuha and Hu Tao. The more i learnt the less game is started to exciting me. Honestly, i would like to see game more harsh, and not just combination of E Q 1234 to win the battle, which now is literally my pattern way to deal with enemies. Not long ago, i got Kirara and game just started being boring because of no trouble i could be with. I can even clean Whale boss (dark voids drops) without using traveler, and Kirara's shields are debatable strong and very close to Zhongli's. Game just started look like afk farms of artifacts, bosses and etc. Is it really what is Genshin Impact?

I only had Diluc and Xiao as five stars when I completed Dragonspine, and my Xiao was using a crescent pike 💀

3 years and my dragonspine is still stuck on 99% cuz idk what im MISSING

When you thought you could climb the mountain to avoid “Thaw all the shards out” chain quest.

Now i have kuki, she outheals the sheer cold damage 😂

I cleared dragonspine's exploration 100% so I would never have to go back again

I swear Sumeru dessert expiration is a fart against that sh**

This is me right now for underground chasm. That bitch ass area had me in 99% for more than a year now and i am not touching that place again.

the editing really got me LMAOOOO 😭

Not yoimiya getting bombed right after killing another hilichurl 😭😭

That reminds me that a few days ago I was attacked, and almost die, by a giant boar monster/king in dragon spine while looking for frozen meat lol I almost have that region 100% and have been playing for a year and I never heard such monster existed there 😭

I am proud of making my dragonspine exploration to 100 without use of any maps or shit

4:10 i have 100% this place and I didn’t know there is a puzzle here lmao

to this day i still haven't complete here, i've 100% liyue-fontaine but can't be bothered to go bck to dragonspine

2:23 bro has zhongli in the team but doesn’t use the shield 😭

yoooo i really really really miss my Dragonspine days

I was lucky to play Dragonspine where I got Kuki very early. I had her on my team instead of Barbara. Proud of myself for maxing out my characters/weapons/trash artifacts before doing the next ascension quest. Fighting enemies would've been a tough time.

Ah dragonspine the entire reason I pulled dehya on her release

4:12 THAT'S A PUZZLE?!?! TF HAVE I BEEN DOING??!!!!!

Yay Xenoblade, you have good taste.
