Where to find Kristallfold
Kristallfold is a Snezhnaya local specialty in Genshin Impact used to ascend Mitya. GameWith identifies Downtown Novokitezhgrad and the river route toward the waterfall as collection areas. HoYoverse’s version 7.2 update introduced Novokitezhgrad in Snezhnaya.
GameWith’s route describes 61 in the downtown area and 14 on the river route. Its guide says the routes require progress in the World Quest The Crystal City in the Gorge’s Depths; the river section additionally requires progress in Let Not All Rivers Run Dry. Nisu has not run or counted the route.
Plan a collection trip
Start by checking whether the relevant Novokitezhgrad quest areas are accessible on your account. Search the downtown region first, then the river route when its quest area is accessible. Use the in-game map and mark collected locations so you can track your own progress.
GameWith reports that Odette and Alyosha can show Snezhnaya local specialties on the minimap when in the party. Map markers and individual pickup positions were not verified in a gameplay session.
Shop, chest and event options
GameWith reports a Downtown Novokitezhgrad shop selling up to five Kristallfold at 1,000 Mora each and a one-time chest from a Snegovik challenge containing nine. Store availability, restock timing and the challenge have not been independently tested.
HoYoverse lists three Kristallfold among rewards for its Keep Up With Mitya social event, running November 4–15, 2026 (UTC+8). Follow the official event instructions and conditions; Nisu did not participate or redeem the reward.
How many does Mitya need?
GameWith lists Mitya’s six character ascensions as requiring 3, 10, 20, 30, 45 and 60 Kristallfold. Together that is 168 for all six ascensions, alongside other materials and Mora. The final 60 is the last step, not the total.
Check Mitya’s current ascension screen to calculate how many are still needed. We did not personally ascend the character or verify material counts in-game.
Refresh and evidence limits
The exact respawn timing, merchant restock and current shop inventory have not been independently verified for this material. Do not rely on a generic refresh timer without checking the game.
