Valiant Chronicles - Nod-Krai Local Legends Guide

Valiant Chronicles

With the release of Luna I, a new permanent system called Valiant Chronicles has been added to Genshin Impact. Through it, players can take on Local Legends. Those are powerful bosses scattered across Nod-Krai, that will reward Primogems, valuable upgrade materials, and even an exclusive Avatar Frame.

This system is aimed at high level adventurers and unlocks new layers of challenge and lore for the region. It is the new version of the Local legends. Before, you needed to explore the map and find them. Now they unlock differently, and it is finally rewarding to defeat them.

How to Unlock Valiant Chronicles?

  • Adventure Rank Requirement: 55 or above
  • Speak to Katheryne in Nod-Krai
  • Select the dialogue option: "Check Valiant Chronicles information."
  • Inside the menu, you can view:
    • A list of available Local Legends.
    • Rewards for defeating them under certain conditions (e.g., avoiding specific attacks).
    • Prerequisite quests if some bosses require them before unlocking.
    • Exact locations of each Local Legend, removing the guesswork of hunting them down on the map.

Important: Local Legends defeated before unlocking Valiant Chronicles do not count toward challenge objectives. Because of this, we recommend you unlock the system before hunting down the bosses!

Valiant Chronicles Rewards

  • Primogem
  • Character and Weapon Level-Up Materials
  • Mora
  • Avatar Frames (granted after completing the required number of challenge objectives)

You can view and equip the Avatar Frame by going to the Paimon Menu and select Change Avatar.

Challenge Objectives

Each Local Legend comes with multiple challenge conditions. Completing them grants additional rewards. Examples include:

  • Defeating the boss without being hit by certain attacks
  • Destroying enemy shields
  • Eliminating adds before the boss can act

The more objectives you complete, the faster you will progress toward earning the exclusive Avatar Frame. On top of that, it is important to know that objectives only count on World Level 8 or higher. Challenges can also be completed in co-op, but the host's world needs to be level 8 or higher as well.
