How to Get Sanctifying Elixir in Genshin Impact
Here is how to get sanctifying elixir in genshin impact:
- Use the Artifact Transmuter gadget to obtain 100 extraction points from 5-star artifacts upgraded to at least “+4”.
- Unlock each Natlan tribe’s secret area.
- Purchase the Premium Battle Pass (Gnostic Hymn).
You get a Sanctifying Elixir starting at Tier 26 of the Premium Battle Pass. Since there is only one Battle Pass available per version of Genshin Impact, you can only get one Sanctifying Elixir this way every six weeks.
Here are more details on where to get more Sanctifying Elixir:
Use the Artifact Transmuter
The Artifact Transmuter can be found in the “Gadgets” tab of your Inventory menu. Click the “Use” button once selected, then navigate to the “Artifact Extraction” menu. Here, you will see all of your 5-star artifacts upgraded to at least +4 (that are not equipped on a character) on the left side. The right side shows you how close you are to creating x1 Sanctifying Elixir.
It takes 100 extraction progress points to craft a sanctifying elixir.and you are limited to creating only one Sanctifying Elixir in this manner per version. For example, if you create a Sanctifying Elixir in this manner in version 5.0, you must wait until version 5.1 to be able to use an additional 100 Extraction Progress Points to create another Sanctifying Elixir.
Different upgrade levels of your 5-star artifacts give you different number of extraction points:
- Artifacts Level 4-11 – Extraction points equal to artifact level
- Artifacts Level 12-15 – Extraction points equal to artifact level + 2
- Artifacts Level 16-19 – Extraction points equal to artifact level + 6
- Level 20 Artifacts – 30 extraction points
Even though higher level artifacts give you more extraction points, lower level artifacts are overall better to use – unless you’re sure you’ll never use that spare level 20 5-star artifact for anything else!
Unlock each Natlan tribe’s secret area
You randomly obtain Obsidian Fragments when opening chests in Natlan which can be assembled to form an Obsidian Ring, which is used to lower the barrier and enter each tribe’s secret area. a sanctifying elixir in each secret area of the tribe.
We have only found Obsidian Fragments in Precious Chests, but they can also be found in Luxurious Chests, so we recommend looking for these types of chests first, instead of trying to open all of Natlan’s regular chests during your search for Fragments.
The area you search in also seems to influence the type of Obsidian Fragment you’ll obtain. For example, opening Precious and Luxurious Chests near the Children of Echoes settlement is more likely to give you the Obsidian Fragments you need to form the Children of Echoes’ Yellow Obsidian Ring.
What is the sanctifying elixir?
Sanctifying Elixir is the material you need to craft Artifacts with your preferred primary stat and up to two preferred secondary stats in Genshin Impact. Since good Artifact stats are essential for the best character builds, Sanctifying Elixir is a very useful (and rare) item.
How to use the Sanctifying Elixir
To use the Sanctifying Elixir, go to the “Gadgets” tab in your inventory and find the Artifact Transmuter element that looks like a typewriter on a purple background, then click “Use”.
This takes you to the Artifact Definition menu, where you can use your Sanctifying Elixir to create custom artifacts with your desired primary stat and up to two custom secondary stats. The amount of Sanctifying Elixir you need to create a custom artifact depends on the piece you want to create.
Here’s how much Sanctifying Elixir you need per artifact piece:
- Flower of life – x1 Sanctifying Elixir
- Feather of Death – x1 Sanctifying Elixir
- The Sands of Eon – x2 Sanctifying Elixir
- Circle of Logos – x3 Sanctifying Elixir
- Eonothem Cup – x4 Sanctifying Elixir
Your Flower and Feather pieces only cost one Sanctifying Elixir because you cannot select a primary stat for them, as their primary stats are always set to HP and ATK, respectively.
Finally, keep in mind that the same set of artifacts can only be exchanged once in each version.
Good luck upgrading your artifacts!
