01 / RELATIONSHIP MAP
Three branches feed the Pale Crown Palace finale
GI HoYoWiki's guide for “Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard” states that the quest begins after the Eye of Graeae is obtained and that three parts must be collected through “In the Dwelling of Life,” “Hesperides of Love and Hate,” and “On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb.”
That establishes a convergence relationship: obtain the Archon Quest tool, finish the three fragment branches, then continue the finale. It does not by itself prove that every branch must be played in one fixed order, so this page does not invent one.
- Shared gate
- Obtain the Eye of Graeae and a weapon during Everwinter Without Mercy
- Branch A
- Hesperides of Love and Hate — collect one Eye fragment
- Branch B
- In the Dwelling of Life — collect one Eye fragment
- Branch C
- On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb — collect one Eye fragment
- Finale
- Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard — continue after all three parts
02 / SPOILER-LIGHT CHECKLIST
A neutral completion route without claiming a forced branch order
The three branch names are presented as a checklist, not as a mandatory A-to-B-to-C sequence. If the game offers a branch in a different order, follow the available quest; the important confirmed dependency is collecting all three parts before the finale.
- Progress Chapter VII: Act I until you obtain the Eye of Graeae and its weapon.
- Complete Hesperides of Love and Hate and record its fragment as finished.
- Complete In the Dwelling of Life and record its fragment as finished.
- Complete On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb and record its fragment as finished.
- Return to Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard after all three fragment branches are complete.
03 / SEPARATE BRANCHES
Eye-gated quests are not automatically part of the three-fragment chain
The official Version 7.0 update lists many additional Snezhnaya World Quests, but a shared patch-note list is not proof that every quest belongs to the same dependency chain. GI HoYoWiki separately documents “For an Ice Mirror Fragment” and “Ever Beneath the Waves” as requiring the Eye of Graeae.
Quest Routes therefore tracks those as parallel Eye-gated quests unless a source explicitly connects them to the three-fragment finale. This avoids the common guide error of turning thematic proximity into a mandatory prerequisite.
- For an Ice Mirror Fragment
- Eye of Graeae prerequisite; tracked as a parallel quest
- Ever Beneath the Waves
- Eye of Graeae prerequisite; tracked as a parallel quest
- Other Version 7.0 quests
- Not added to this dependency map without a source-backed relationship
04 / UPDATE RULE
What will change this map
Until one of those events occurs, the map keeps confirmed hard dependencies separate from a player's preferred exploration order.
- A later official update changes an Eye of Graeae prerequisite.
- An official quest guide names a forced order among the three fragment branches.
- A new World Quest explicitly continues or replaces the current finale.
- A reproducible in-game contradiction is supplied and confirmed against the current version.
FAQ
Common questions
Which Snezhnaya World Quest should I do first?
First obtain the Eye of Graeae and its weapon in Chapter VII: Act I. The three fragment-producing branches can then be treated as a checklist; the cited official-wiki evidence does not establish one universal forced order among them.
Do I need all three Eye fragments for Her Palace Collapses Into the Blizzard?
Yes. The GI HoYoWiki guide identifies the three fragment-producing quest series and directs players to continue the finale after obtaining all three parts.
Are all Version 7.0 World Quests part of this chain?
No. The update lists many quests, but only explicitly sourced relationships are included in the dependency map. Some other quests share the Eye of Graeae prerequisite without being one of the three finale branches.
