The Spiral Abyss recently reset, meaning Genshin Impact players can once again challenge floors 9-12 for up to 600 free Primogems. More specifically, each of these four floors rewards players with 50 Primogems for every three stars earned.

The next Spiral Abyss will take place in the middle of the month. After the reset, gamers will have about a week to get the Primogem rewards before the current banners end.
