Xiangling is one of the best characters in the game of Genshin Impact. However, the players are able to get her without using gacha pulls or spending money. Here’s how.
Getting Xiangling in Genshin Impact
Xiangling is one of the best characters in Genshin Impact. She can be acquired for free in the Spiral Abyss without worrying about gacha pulls, spending real money, or having good luck. For those who want to unlock Spiral Abyss, first you need to reach Adventurer Rank 20 by exploring the world, opening the chests, completing the quests, and more. After the Spiral Abyss is unlocked, the next step is getting there. The Spiral Abyss is discovered on the Musk Reef. You will be able to reach it through a portal on Cape Oath, exactly near the southeastern tip of Mondstadt.
The next step that players must do is making it through Chamber 3, Floor 3 of the Spiral Abyss. Apparently, each Chamber has three floors. It means the players will need to go through and complete nine challenges to get Xiangling freely. The challenges are timed battles. Sometimes, it can be really grueling, especially if the characters of the players are below level 45 or 50. The players are able to select a bonus at the start of each round, but they will not have access to healing items and need to keep the same four characters the entire time. It will be a big challenge, however it may be more enticing than spending money and worrying about rerolling for characters.
Developer miHoYo have already teased that more characters may be unlocked through a similar method in future updates. For now, this is a free method to get Xiangling in Genshin Impact. The Spiral Abyss will be able to be a challenge, but it keeps players from spending money or worrying about gacha pulls.
