Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
Genshin Impactplayers who have completed the first few chapters of Natlan’s Archon Quest will be familiar with Citlali, also known as Granny Itztli. She’s now a playable character in Genshin Impact, using a catalyst and a Cryo Vision. She’s quite the character, with a larger-than-life personality, but also plays a very important role in the fight against the Abyss.
Players who are interested in adding Citlali to their team would do well to find her ascension materials so they can power her up as much as possible. This will take some time in Natlan, as most of Citlali’s ascension mats are found there.

Gemstones - Where to Find Shivada Jade
Shivada Jade is a blue gemstone used to ascend Cryo characters. Most of it is found in boss reward pools. The following bosses are those who can drop Shivada Jade when defeated:
*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Shivada Jade when they’re aligned with Cryo.
For all the other ways of obtaining Shivada Jade, check this post:
Local Specialty - Where to Find Quenepa Berry
Like Kachina before her, Citlali will need to find some Quenepa Berries to ascend. These are a local specialty of Natlan and are found only around the Scions of the Canopy.
Luckily, they can be grown in the Serenitea Pot or purchased from Cintli in the Stadium of Sacred Flames. He sells five of them for 5,000 Mora each, restocking every three days.
Boss Drop - How to Get Talisman of the Enigmatic Land
The Talisman of the Enigmatic Land boss drop comes from the Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker — a boss that released alongside Citlali. We don’t yet have this boss guide posted, but check back soon!
Enemy Drop - Where to Find Saurian Fangs
Natlan Saurians, when defeated, can drop their fangs. These are used in some character ascensions, including Citlali. At higher levels, they can drop better items:
40+
60+
Tyrant’s Fang
Natlan Saurians are found basically everywhere in Natlan, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding their fangs!
For help with finding them and a few suggested farming routes, this guide is here to help:
Talent Books - Kindling
Citlali joins Xilonen and others in using the Kindling series. These are obtained from the Blazing Ruins domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Trounce Materials - Denial and Judgment
The only material used in powering up Citlali that isn’t found in Natlan is her trounce material. Instead, players will need to venture back to Fontaine, as the Denial and Judgment item drops only from The Knave trounce domain. This domain is unlocked by completing Arlecchino’s Story Quest.
