Xiangling Genshin Impact Build: How to Get Xiangling for Free

Genshin Impact has been taking the world by storm since its release on the 28th of September 2020. The game introduces the RPG genre with co-op in a unique manner by allowing you to choose the players that enter your world in Genshin Impact. While it may seem like an MMO RPG, the game is vastly different and features umpteen side quests to help you kill your time and level up your character.

You can also create a roster of different characters and train them for different fighting styles to face off against different kinds of bosses. One character that has been making quite the buzz is Xiangling. If you too wish to play as Xiangling in Genshin Impact then let’s take a look at the procedure to acquire her.

Can you get Xiangling For Free?

Xiangling is a 4-star character in Genshin Impact. This means that you can easily acquire her through in-game wishes using the real-life currency. But if you do not wish to spend money in the game, then you can also get Xiangling completely for free by completing the Spiral Abyss challenge up to Floor 3 Chamber 3.

Completing this challenge will help you earn Xiangling as your final reward. Let’s take a look at how you can do this.

Reach Rank 20 in adventure

Guide

Once you are Rank 20, navigate your character to Cape Oath. Now you can either jump off of the cliff and make your way to ‘Musk Reef’. Alternatively, you can complete a simple puzzle near Cape Oath which will give you access to a portal that will take you directly to Musk Reef.

Once you are at Musk Reef, go into the Spiral Abyss.

Now Spiral Abyss is a combat challenge which is a throwback to your traditional RPG games. You have different floors with 3 chambers each. Each chamber gets increasingly difficult in combat and clearing each floor rewards you with rare items. Thankfully, Xiangling is the reward for completing Floor 3 chamber 3. All you have to do is beat all the 3 floors and their respective chambers and you will be awarded Xiangling automatically.

Tip: We recommend that you fill up on supplies and health before attempting this challenge.

And that’s it. After you have completed chamber 3 on Floor 3 you will be awarded Xiangling as a character. You can then upgrade her with artifacts and items to increase your team’s potential.

Xiangling Quest in Genshin Impact

Xiangling’s in-game quest is all about looking for secret ingredients. Once your character reaches Level 15 in the game, the quest should be available to you in the story mode. The quest is titled Mondstadt Gastronomy Trip and involves the following 6 chapters.
