In Genshin Impact, you can pick up eight Ancient Carvings in the snowy region of the map. Doing so unlocks a new weapon for you to use. However, locating them can be quite tedious.
Our guide covers the location of all the ancient carvings in Genshin Impact. Additionally, we’ll also be looking at what you can use these carvings for once you have obtained them all.
Genshin Impact Ancient Carvings Locations
In Genshin Impact, ancient carvings are in the form of stone tablets that can be found all across Dragonspine.
There are 8 of these ancient carvings, and once you have hunted them all down, you’ll get access to a locked door below the Statue of the Seven.
We have given a map that marks the locations of all these stone tablets required to unlock the Snow-Tombed Starsilver Claymore in Genshin Impact.
Ancient Carving # 1 – Statue of The Seven
To find the first ancient carving, make your way to the Statue of the Seven. in Dragonspine. Next, head into the room directly below it.

Ancient Carving # 2 – Wyrmrest Valley
The second Ancient Carving in Genshin Impact can be found on a cliff, which lies directly west of Wyrmrest Valley. There will be a huge robot present here, make sure to knock it out before interacting with the carving.
Ancient Carving # 3 – West of Ancient Carving #2
Simply continue west from the location of the previous carving and you’ll be able to pick up Ancient Carving #3. Before you can collect this Carving, it is important to complete the In the Mountains questline.
If you go to this area without doing so, the entrance will be blocked by a Cryo Hypostasis.

The Secret Room – What to do with Ancient Carvings

Behind the door, you’ll find the recipe of the Snow-tombed Starsilver Claymore. It requires 50 Crystal Chunks and 50 Starsilver to be crafted by a blacksmith.
If you’re looking for some extra rewards, just light up all four torches in the room before you leave to get yourself another four-star claymore.
