Dragov’s photo shoot in Genshin Impact is a small hidden world puzzle in Snezhnaya, not a tracked quest. You help a struggling photographer arrange three animal statues so each one lines up with the backdrop he wants. Once all three are matched to the right scenery, the shoot completes on its own and an Exquisite chest appears.
Quick answer: Place the Nochhornowl in the northeastern spot facing the Pale Crown Palace, the Fluffahog in the western spot facing the cloud/fog, and the Morozhound in the southeastern spot facing the House of Hesperides mountains.
Where to find Dragov
Dragov stands on top of a cliff in Fellfrost Peak, just west of Svetloledovka. He has already hauled the statues up to the spot and has no energy left to move them around, so the arranging falls to the Traveler and Paimon.
Walk up to him and start the conversation through the interaction prompt. He explains his rough vision for each creature, and you can ask him again if any of his hints feel unclear.
Correct placement for all three creatures
Each statue has one correct position and one correct facing direction. Match them exactly as listed below.
| Creature | Position | Faces |
|---|---|---|
| Nochhornowl | Northeastern spot | Pale Crown Palace |
| Fluffahog | Western spot | Cloud / fog |
| Morozhound | Southeastern spot | House of Hesperides mountains |
What Dragov’s hints mean
If his first explanation is too vague, ask him for more detail on each animal. His extra notes point directly to the three landmarks.
- The “towering tree” for the Nochhornowl is the Tsar’s White Birch of the Pale Crown Palace, the largest tree in Snezhnaya.
- The “warm mist” for the Fluffahog is impossible in the cold, so any fog or clouds that suggest heat will do.
- The “snowy mountains” for the Morozhound is self-explanatory, pointing to the House of Hesperides mountains.
How to place the statues
Reward and how to confirm it is done
You know the puzzle is solved when Dragov’s dialogue triggers on its own and he thanks you for the finished shot. There is no achievement and no special reward tied to it. Completing the arrangement simply spawns an Exquisite chest, so grab the Primogems inside before you leave the cliff.
