Every Legend of the Shattered Halberd Book Location in Genshin Impact

“Legend of the Shattered Halberd” is a 6-volume book collection in Genshin Impact that rewards players with the “The Divine Halberd Mocks The Heavens” Achievement once they’ve collected the entire series. This unique achievement is within the “Mortal Travails: Series I” category, which grants players Primogems ×5 upon completion. Furthermore, if players accomplish all of the category’s achievements, they will unlock “Achievement: Explorer,” a 4-star rarity Namecard in Genshin Impact.

Legend of the Shattered Halberd I, IV, and V are the easiest to obtain as they can be purchased from a single NPC merchant in Liyue Harbor. From the fast travel Waypoint in the western part of the city, Travelers must head up the large central staircase to the main street. On the main road, walk north until reaching the last building on the left. Ascend the stairs to the second floor or climb up to reach Wanwen Bookhouse, a small shop located on the elevated terrace. Speak to the owner Jifang to buy the Legend of the Shattered Halberd Volumes I, IV, and V for Mora ×3,000 each.

To find Legend of the Shattered Halberd II, Travelers should travel to the Stone Gate in northern Liyue. The book’s location is near Stone Gate’s secret treasure cave in Genshin Impact. From the Waypoint, walk across the elevated wooden platforms to where Pops Zhou is standing. On his left, players will notice a couple seated near two Sunsettia. The Legend of the Shattered Halberd Volume II sits atop the table between the two NPCs, Huachu and Jianqiu.

“The Divine Halberd Mocks The Heavens” Achievement Guide

The Legend of the Shattered Halberd Volume III is likely the trickiest to obtain for the “The Divine Halberd Mocks The Heavens” Achievement in Genshin Impact. Acquiring the book requires Travelers to listen to Tea Master Liu Su’s storytelling several times. He can be found slightly to the southeast of Liyue Harbor atop the higher floors of the towering building. Getting him to give the players the book will take a few attempts and rigorous dialogue skipping, as he may repeat the same story once or twice.

Some players have reportedly obtained the Genshin Impact book by listening to Liu Su at a specific time of day or a certain number of times. However, this does not affect when he offers the volume. Instead, players need to watch closely for when his dialogue option begins with “Tragically, the Grand Master…” as players will receive Legend of the Shattered Halberd III after this specific story ends.

The final Volume, Legend of the Shattered Halberd VI, is received as a quest item from Xingqiu during the “Bookworm Swordsman.” To start this quest, players must reach Adventure Rank 26 and complete Lisa Act I: “Troublesome Work.”

Genshin Impact is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and PC.
