Genshin Impact sees the arrival of the Dosdragon Mountains area thanks to its 1.2 update. No cryoculus since it is not a new region in its own right, but we find a very similar system. Indeed, there is a Permafrost Tree which asks for offerings on the same principle of the Statues of the Seven. And this time, here is the guide to the locations of the Purple Agates, with the exact location of each of them on the map that we list for you right here.
Since the Dosdragon Mountains are very condensed, and the exploration is mostly vertical, it is difficult to clearly separate the areas, especially to the southeast of this location. So don't be surprised to see Agates listed in "Luminousstar Cave" while the agates are on the surface, since we have chosen to classify all the agates of the south of the Monts in the area of the Grotto Luminétoile. The same goes for the agates east of the mountains, which are included in the closest areas on the map.
This guide is currently being written, purple agates are being added to it as we explore. This article will therefore be regularly updated, and completed within a few days.. Each time we add agates, we will indicate which agates were added and on what date so that you can find it more easily as you go along.
Update 24/12/2020: Addition of the following agates:
- Celestial Chuck: Purple Agates 01 to 03
- Snorlax Valley: Crimson Agates 09 to 11
- Ancient Palace of the Buried City: Purple Agates 07 and 08
- Outskirts of the Lost City: Purple Agates 08 to 13
- Starlight Cave: Crimson Agates 10 and 11
New update 24/12: After completing all of the agates, we can say that there are only about 80. Beyond that, there are challenges to achieve, which are detailed at the bottom of the article. Note that currently, the location of some agates is still missing in our article, which will be updated just after the Christmas festivities.
Update 27/12/2020: Addition of the following agates:
- Ancient Palace of the Buried City: Purple Agates 09 to 13
- Starlight Cave: Crimson Agates 12-20
- Celestial Chuck: Purple Agates 04 to 13
It is possible that some agates in nature are missing (do not hesitate to let us know which ones), but for the moment, here is all the agates that we could find. With all the agates listed, you will be able to reach Tier 8 of the tree, allowing you to access challenges that give agates as rewards, in order to climb to the maximum tier in a few days/weeks.
UPDATE 08/01/2021: Addition of an ultimate agate to the Ancient Palace of the Buried City.

Complete the Permafrost Tree 100%
Once you have reached Tier 8 and therefore brought in at least 70 Crimson Agates, you will unlock the famous Northern Spear Prototype. Moreover, once this level is reached, it is no longer necessary to search for the location of the agates. Admittedly, there are still a few lost agates (4 more as far as we know) but you have a new mechanic.
Indeed, the Tree launches the Desire scarlet. Challenges appear on your map with an icon. There are 5 each refresh and they allow you to harvest an agate each time. However, you will have to wait a bit since the update seems to be done twice a week. In addition, it allows you to advance in the weekly challenge of the Battle Pass: " Complete Scarlet Challenge 5 times ».
These are basic challenges as we are used to: challenges of flying and shooting in a limited time or even enemies to defeat in a given place. You will understand that we will not list all the variants for you since these are objectives that you have undoubtedly encountered many times. Like the reputation levels, it is therefore not possible to complete the Permafrost Tree at once, you will have to redo these challenges for several days/weeks.
