Genshin Impact Alchemical Ascension Guide – How to Start & Tips
Genshin Impact version 4.5 features a new mode called Alchemical Ascension, where you run a potion shop. If you need some guidance about this mini-game, we’re here to help. Here’show to start Alchemical Ascension in Genshin Impact, alongside some handy tips.
How to Start Genshin Impact Alchemical Ascension Event
To start the Alchemical Ascension mode in Genshin Impact, reach Adventure Rank 20 and complete the Song of the Dragon and Freedom quest. Then, you’re able to visit the Knights of Favonius Library and speak with Lisa.
Your main goal in theAlchemical Ascension eventis to concoct various potions. To do this, you must fill up a square box with your ingredients. Each material has a unique shape, so you need to play around to ensure that they fit.

The ingredients that you used in the Alchemical Ascension event can only be obtained from growing new plants in the potion garden. You cannot use wild plants that you gather on your adventure. As you level up your Alchemy Level, you will unlock better materials that you can grow and use.
Once you have concocted a potion, you must put your product on the shelf to sell it to your customers. After a few Operation Cycles, the demand for your potions will change, and you must keep track of this via Market News.

You can also purchase new Cultivation Areas by speaking to a knight named Freda in the Alchemical Ascension event. Similar to your potion ingredients, you cannot use your ownMorato purchase supplies and can only use money you obtain from selling potions. The knight also sells other useful stuff, such as Potion Bottles and Improved Alchemy Cauldrons.
Genshin Impact Alchemical Ascension Event Tips
There are certain activities in the Alchemical Ascension event that you must complete before you can finish one Operation Cycle. Here is the Operation Cycle process that I recommend:
If you forget the current market demand, you can visit the potion stall and press the Square button to check the Market News. There are usually two types of potion that your consumers want during each Operation Week. You must figure out what kind of effects each potion requires to increase your income.

When purchasing new upgrades from Freda, I recommend prioritizing buying a new Cultivation Area until you have nine. After that, you’re able to purchase Potion Bottles and Improved Alchemy Cauldrons.
Some special customers, a.k.a. playable characters, may even visit your shop during the Alchemical Ascension event. If you complete their Custom Orders, you can get a ton of points and Mora.
