Genshin Impact: Hide-and-Seek Jack Frosts Quest Walkthrough

Track down all three hidden Jack Frosts in the House of Hesperides to claim an Exquisite Chest.

Track down all three hidden Jack Frosts in the House of Hesperides to claim an Exquisite Chest.

Three Jack Frosts have scattered across the House of Hesperides’ Main Floor, disguising themselves as furniture and clutter. Catching all three is what unlocks the Hide-and-Seek Jack Frosts reward in Genshin Impact, and each one needs a different Prime Ice Construct action to flush it out.

Quick answer: Approach the four Jack Frosts in the Mountain Mansion Front Hall, then use a Grappling Gun Structure on the southeast display shelf, dismantle the northwest icy vase, and hit the barrel by the southern stairs. Return to the starting spot to open an Exquisite Chest.


How to start the Hide-and-Seek Jack Frosts quest

Head to the Mountain Mansion Front Hall, which is the House of Hesperides Main Floor, and walk up to the group of four Jack Frosts standing there. When you approach them, three of the four break away and hide somewhere in the mansion. From that moment, the hunt is on, and finding all three is what triggers the chest.

The House of Hesperides itself only opens once you have the Invitation to the “Ritual,” which comes before the Hesperides of Love and Hate world quest. Without that invitation, you cannot enter the mansion or reach the Jack Frosts.

Where to find all three hidden Jack Frosts

Each Jack Frost hides in a specific spot on the Main Floor, and you reveal each one with a Prime Ice Construct. Work through them in order below and every one will scurry back to the original meeting point once caught.

How To Complete The Hide-and-Seek Jack Frosts Quest In Genshin Impact

First Jack Frost: the display shelf

Move southeast from the starting area toward the display shelf.
Open the Prime Ice Construct menu and pick the Grappling Gun Structure, which costs 7 Ice Prime to build.

Place the structure in front of the shelf so the grapple hooks onto it and breaks it apart, revealing the first Jack Frost.

Second Jack Frost: the icy vase

From the shelf, go north-west until you reach the icy vase.
Open the Prime Ice Construct menu again and aim at the icy vase.
Choose to dismantle the vase. The second Jack Frost pops out and heads back to join its friends.

Third Jack Frost: the barrel by the southern stairs

Head to the southern stairs and look for the barrel sitting beside them. This one gives itself away with a carrot nose.

Attack the barrel to reveal the third Jack Frost. In the nearby room you can also take on the Jack Frost in the Wine Cellar challenge, which rewards a Precious Chest.

Claim the reward and confirm completion

Once all three Jack Frosts are caught, return to the spot where they first gathered. An Exquisite Chest is waiting there, and opening it confirms the quest is finished.

The chest can contain a Cryo Sigil, Intricately Patterned Buttons, and Primogems. If the chest is not there, you have likely missed one of the three, so double-check the shelf, vase, and barrel before heading back.


What to do with Intricately Patterned Buttons

Intricately Patterned Buttons are spent at the Jack Frost Goodie Shop in Jack Frost Village. You can trade them for items such as the A Touch of Frost in Scorching Summer! weapon skin, the Construct Appearance: Jack Frost, and level-up materials.

The shop only becomes available after you finish the Small Jack Frost, Big Trouble world quest. Until then, hold onto the buttons and cash them in once the village is open.
