Genshin Impact: How to Beat the Excitement-Loving Jack Frost Snowball Challenge

Block the landing zone with Prime Ice Construct cubes so the launched snowball breaks before it slides off the cliff.

The Excitement-Loving Jack Frost sets a simple-sounding task in Genshin Impact. Climb into its Snowball Launcher, fire yourself off the ledge, and travel as far as possible without tumbling past the cliff. The catch is that a raw launch keeps rolling until it drops off the edge, which fails the run. The reliable fix is to build a wall the snowball smashes into before it reaches the drop.

Quick answer: Glide to the lower cliff, place a few Prime Ice Construct Cube pieces at the edge, return to Jack Frost with the Link Mechanism, enter the Snowball Launcher, aim at your cubes, and launch. The snowball breaks on impact instead of rolling off, completing the challenge.


Where to find the Excitement-Loving Jack Frost

The Excitement-Loving Jack Frost stands between the Inverted Glaciers Domain and the Relics of the Fallen Grace Domain. Look for the small figure holding a hat and a shovel, positioned right beside a Snowball Launcher. Interacting with it starts the challenge and confirms the goal, which is to launch yourself as a snowball and travel as far as you can without dropping over the cliff.

You need the Prime Ice Construct ability available before attempting the cube trick, since it supplies the wall that stops the snowball.


Why a plain launch fails

When you fire without any obstacle, the snowball rolls forward under its own momentum. On this ledge that momentum carries it straight past the cliff edge, which counts as falling and resets the attempt. You can keep retrying by hand until the roll happens to stop in time, but the outcome is inconsistent. Forcing the snowball to collide with something makes it break on the spot, so distance and stopping point are both controlled.


Complete the challenge with Prime Ice Construct cubes

From the Jack Frost’s platform, glide down toward the lower cliff below the launch path. This is where the snowball would otherwise roll off, so it is where your barrier needs to sit.
Open your Prime Ice Construct menu and select the Cube. Place a few Cube pieces along the edge to form a solid wall directly in the snowball’s path.

Use the Link Mechanism to travel back up to the Excitement-Loving Jack Frost’s spot. This saves you the climb after building the wall below.

Interact with the Jack Frost to begin the challenge, then enter the Snowball Launcher.
Aim the launcher at the Cube pieces you placed on the lower cliff and fire. The snowball travels the intended distance, hits the wall, and breaks instead of sliding off the edge.

How to know it worked

A successful run ends with the challenge marked complete and an Exquisite chest spawning nearby. Open it to claim the reward. If the snowball still falls, the wall was either too far from the edge or too thin to stop the roll, so rebuild it closer to the drop with a couple of extra Cube pieces and launch again.

If you would rather not build anything, the challenge can still be cleared by retrying the launch until the snowball stops on its own before the cliff. That approach is slower and less predictable, which is why the Cube wall remains the cleanest way to lock in the completion.
