Specters are common enemies that look like little floating lamps. They can be extremely annoying to battle due to their Elemental resistance and floaty nature, which can make it difficult to land hits—especially when using slower skills. However, they drop important materials used to Ascend characters and weapons.
Here’s everything you need to know about Genshin Impact’s Specters—from where to find them, what they drop, and how to defeat them.
All Specter locations in Genshin Impact
Head to the areas marked with a Specter icon to find the enemies. Some Specters will only spawnonce you approach their location, so looking for them from afar isn’t a reliable way of finding them.

Types of Specters in Genshin Impact
There are six types of Specters that can be found across Teyvat and Enkanomiya:
All Specters drop the same materials, so you don’t have to find a specific Element to farm. When battling Specters, it’s highly recommended not to bring a mono Element team (such as a full Geo team), as these pesky creaturesdon’t take damage from skills of the same Elementas them. For example, a Hydro Specter will take damage from all elements except for Hydro.
