If you're trying to ascend your weapons in Genshin Impact, there's a good chance you're already wondering where to find Geovishap Hatchlings. For those who don't know, Geovishap Hatchlings drop a rare item called Fragile Bone Shards, which are a necessary material for ascending weapons past their initial level 20 cap.
So, if you've been trying to upgrade your characters but have found yourself stumped, don't fret: here's everything you need to know about the Geovishap Hatchlings location in Genshin Impact.
Updated: October 25, 2021 By Helen Ashcroft: As Genshin Impact continues to grow, so do the amount of weapons that require fragile bone shards. This means that finding Geovishap Hatchlings is as important as ever. To make this task even easier we've added new maps to show the exact location of Geovishaps across Liyue. We've also updated the list of weapons that require fragile bone shards to ascend.
Where To Find Geovishap Hatchlings In Genshin Impact
You'll need to have already reached Liyue to find Geovishap Hatchlings as they're nowhere to be found in Mondstadt, which makes sense given the "Geo" prefix and Mondstadt's status as an Anemo region.
Once you've arrived at Liyue, there are several places you can find Geovishaps. Odd ones will be larger, and some are in clusters, but most areas have a couple of small hatchlings.
Locations Of Geovishap Hatchlings In Dragonspine And Northern Liyue
One of the easiest places to find Geovishap Hatchlings is along the border between Dragonspine and Liyue. You can travel down here and encounter several hatchlings in the lower foothills.
As you can see from the map there are several others in this area but the other spot with a few in a cluster is around Mt. Aocang, over to the west. The outcrop north of the mountain, and west of the domain has several in the area. Just be careful of the cluster here as there is a large Geovishap and two hatchings all in the same place so it's easy to end up in a three versus one situation.
Locations Of Geovishap Hatchlings In Southern Liyue
In the south of Liyue you'll want to head to Tianqui Valley, which is due northwest of Liyue Harbor via Dunyu Ruins. Alternatively, it is directly west of Luhua Pool - if you approach the valley from this direction, you'll probably bump into some Geovishap Hatchlings without even trying.
The Geovishap Hatchlings can be found at the markers above. They're slightly east of the upper teleport waypoint. If you're coming from Liyue, remember that it's not the first teleport waypoint that will appear on your minimap. That one is handy to get - it gets you Adventurer experience and gives you yet another area to fast travel to - but for the Geovishap Hatchlings location, you want the more northern one.
How To Defeat Geovishap Hatchlings And Get Fragile Bone Shards
Once you've found yourself a couple of Geovishap Hatchlings, it's time to dispatch them. These are highly aggressive enemies, so you'll want to be careful in how you approach them. If you are going in early, Geovishap Hatchlings are much faster than a lot of the enemies you'll have fought up to this point
Here are some things to bear in mind while fighting Geovishap Hatchlings:
- They have a lot of mobility when they are attacking, so be sure to back off and focus on evasion while they are being offensive. Once they wind down, they will be temporarily vulnerable.
- Characters with shields can reflect attacks and stun Geovishap Hatchlings. If you have someone like Noelle, for example, you can use your elemental shield ability to easily incapacitate them before swapping to a DPS character like Diluc or Razor and quickly melting them.
- They are Geovishap Hatchlings, so Geo element characters are basically useless here - use another elemental character for the DPS.
With all that in mind, it should be a relatively easy fight. Just remember to keep moving and try to seperate hatchlings from the pack if you're unsure of your strength.
Weapons That Require Fragile Bone Shards To Ascend
Once you loot your Fragile Bone Shards, these are the weapons you'll be able to ascend:
- Black Tassel - Three-Star Polearm
- Compound Bow - Four-Star Bow
- Iron Sting - Four-Star Sword
- Lithic Spear - Four-Star Polearm
- Luxurious Sea Lord - Four-Star Claymore
- Mappa Mare - Four-Star Catalyst
- Memory Of Dust - Five-Star Catalyst

- Prototype Starglitter - Four-Star Polearm
- Serpent Spine - Four-Star Claymore

So if you have any of these weapons simple head to the locations above in order to farm the fragile bone shards you'll need for ascension. Lower level shards can be converted to higher level ones by finding an alchemist and using their table.
