Many people in Liyue know Qiqi as Baizhu’s little zombie assistant at the Bubu Pharmacy, but there’s more to her than first meets the eye. As well as being an excellent healer, a character with deep mysterious lore, and one of the largest sources of memes in the Genshin Impact community, Qiqi is also a zombie resurrected by the Adepti!
Qiqi is also one of the 5-star characters available on Genshin Impact’s standard banner, resulting in a lot of players with a character that needs ascensions and talent upgrades in order to really shine. Here is everything players will need in order to ascend Qiqi.

Gemstones - Shivada Jade
Depending on the character’s element, they'll need different gemstones to ascend. Qiqi will need Shivada Jade for each ascension. Shivada Jade can be obtained by defeating the following:
- Cryo Regisvine
- Cryo Hypostasis
- Coral Defenders
- Maguu Kenki
- Perpetual Mechanical Array
- Primo Geovishap*
- Aeonblight Drake
- Iniquitous Baptist
- Icewind Suite (Coppelius)
- Andrius (The Wolf of the North Challenge)
- Childe (Enter the Golden House)
- Azhdaha (Beneath the Dragon Queller)*
- La Signora (Narukami Island: Tenshukaku)
*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Shivada Jade when they're aligned with Cryo.
They can also be received in a variety of other ways. Click here for a full guide!
Enemy Drop - Samachurl Scrolls
Unlike many of Qiqi’s other ascension materials, her enemy drop is one of the easiest to obtain in large numbers. Qiqi uses Scrolls, which can be obtained from any type of Samachurl.
Players can expect to collect a lot of these naturally just by playing the game. For those looking to speed up the process though, Stormterror’s Lair is a good place to fight a lot of Samachurls.

Here's where to find Samachurls and the items they drop.Boss Drop - Hoarfrost Core
Every character requires a boss drop to ascend, which often proves to be one of the more difficult items to collect. Luckily for Qiqi users, she needs Hoarfrost Cores to ascend, which is an easy one to obtain. Players can collect Hoarfrost Cores by defeating the Cryo Regisvine.

One of the most difficult parts of ascending Qiqi is the need for Violetgrass. The most difficult local specialty to find for some players, Violetgrass can be found sparsely on the side of cliff sides in Liyue, especially in the mountainous west. They can also be bought from Herbalist Gui and Verr Goldet.

Qiqi represents the prosperity of Liyue and the Gift of the Adepti, which is largely the reason for her using Books of Prosperity for her talent upgrades. Players can obtain Books of Prosperity from the Taishan Mansion domain on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Trounce Materials
After level 6, players will also need to collect Trounce Materials to upgrade Qiqi’s talents. She uses Tails of Boreas, which can be obtained from the Wolf of the North domain in Wolvendom.
