Chasing Remnant Incense – Everfrozen Earth in Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact's Everfrozen Earth offers Remnant Incense and hidden chests, requiring world quests, puzzles, and precise tools to unlock.
In the brittle blue light of Snezhnaya’s Everfrozen Earth, a lone Traveler examined a rumour that three Remnant Incense – Everfrozen Earth could be pulled from the region’s most stubborn chests. It was not a simple stroll. The search stretched from Morepesok to Flamefeather Valley, and each reward was hidden behind a knot of world quests, puzzles, and terrain that seemed designed to swallow careless boots. Finding all three items felt like trying to hear a whisper in a blizzard: possible, but only if one knew exactly where to stand.

Preparation: Tools for a Frozen Trail
The Traveler did not set off empty-handed. The frozen regions demanded a specific kit, and without it the chests remained as unreachable as fish under lake ice.
| Requirement | Why it mattered |
|---|---|
| 🔥 Pyro character | Lighting bonfires during the Trembling Voice puzzle |
| 🧊 Prime Ice Construct | Building igloos, blocking wall cracks, crafting chairs and gift boxes |
| 🪝 Grappling Gun | Reaching a high chandelier and crossing cloud steps |
| 🗝️ Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths key | Unlocking one Luxurious chest in Flamefeather Valley |
Morepesok: South Waypoint to Glacial Caves
Teleporting to the waypoint south of Morepesok, the Traveler moved northeast first. The Legendary Thief Treasure waited there, but only after the World Quest “Disputes without Honor and Humanity” had been completed. The chests were strung along the map like beads on a snapped necklace, each one requiring a separate knot to be tied before it could be collected.
Southward, near the igloo, helping the Jack Frosts construct their home with Prime Ice Construct blueprints produced a Precious chest. A nearby Seelie then drifted through the snow like a lost ember, leading to a Luxurious chest. Moving south again, the Traveler removed a block of Prime Ice to reveal another Seelie, then used the zip line to trace it back to its court.
The Trembling Voice and the Cloud Steps
East of the Inverted Glacier Domain, the haunted house puzzle called “Trembling Voice” behaved like a music box that only played after the correct sequence of clicks. The steps were exact:
-
Light the bonfire with a Pyro character.
-
Use the Prime Ice Construct to block wall cracks.
-
Obtain a chair blueprint and build it on the opposite side.
-
Light the fire again.
-
Go to the rooftop, get the gift box blueprint, build it on the table, then remove the constructed box.
-
Claim the Exquisite chest that appears.
-
Light the fire once more, follow the Seelie, and claim the Precious chest.
Continuing south, the Traveler jumped onto the clouds to automatically unlock another Precious chest. A Grappling Gun worked there, though dropping from the train tracks above was also possible. Gliding north into the mountain cave produced yet another Precious chest. That cave actually held two Precious chests, available during or after the “Disputes without Honor and Humanity” quest once enemies were cleared.
Island Tombs, Hometown Quests, and Shrine Keys
The northwestern island guarded a Luxurious chest behind the World Quest “Like a Labyrinth Imprisons Her Servants.” That quest only triggered after finishing “A Great Heart Fettered by Slender Chains” and reading the Eye of Graeae’s message. At the tomb, Signora’s signature crimson butterfly appeared like a small wound in the cold air, leading the Traveler to the unlockable Luxurious chest.
In Childe’s hometown, the quest “The Sunken Ship, Sailed Past, Ringing no Bells” had to be completed after “Ever Beneath the Waves” to earn a Precious chest. Then, at the southeastern station, interacting with Kruzhkova spawned a Luxurious chest.
During “In the Dwelling of Life,” the Traveler found a Luxurious chest inside a Shrine of Depths. One Snezhnaya Shrine of Depths key was enough to open it. A nearby channel also yielded one Precious chest and one Luxurious chest as the World Quest progressed.
Drainage Channel, Tree-Turned Undercroft, and Melancholy Doors
After exiting the Drainage Channel, the area revealed two Precious chests and one Luxurious chest. The first Precious chest required shooting wooden puppets within a time limit. The second demanded a mini-boss defeat. The Luxurious chest asked for three Seelies:
-
Inside a dug hole
-
Near the southern waterfall
-
Hiding in the flow of the southeastern waterfall
Next, the Undercroft of the Tree-Turned offered another Precious chest. During “Forbidding Doors of Melancholy,” the Traveler claimed one Precious chest, while a Luxurious chest sat on the upper floor. Using the Grappling Gun on the second chandelier reached it. Taking the elevator up led to a second Precious chest in the same area.
Flamefeather Valley and the Eastern Vault
Teleporting to the Flamefeather Valley Statue of the Seven, the Traveler defeated two waves of enemies to earn another Precious chest. Finally, the vault in eastern Morepesok sat northeast of the top waypoint, waiting as the last piece of the frozen trail.
Troubleshooting from the Field
-
Missing quest triggers: Complete prerequisite quests in order. If an NPC does not appear, check the quest log for unfinished steps.
-
Can’t find a Seelie: Look for glowing spots or loose stones. Elemental sight, if available, helps.
-
Puzzle won’t activate: Verify the Prime Ice Construct is equipped and a Pyro character is in the party.

Once all three Remnant Incense – Everfrozen Earth had been gathered, the Traveler tucked them away like a florist pressing rare petals between pages. What began as a cold and scattered hunt became, in the end, a clean ledger of chests, puzzles, and frozen secrets finally put to rest.
This assessment draws from The Verge - Gaming, emphasizing how modern open-world design often turns simple scavenger goals into layered progression via quest gates, traversal tools, and environmental puzzles. Seen through that lens, the three Remnant Incense – Everfrozen Earth reads less like “three chest drops” and more like a curated route: prerequisite world quests unlock key sub-areas, bespoke gadgets (Prime Ice Construct and grappling) convert verticality into rewards, and multi-step set pieces like Trembling Voice create deliberate pacing where each chest becomes a checkpoint rather than a random find.
