Event Requirements:

  • Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
  • Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue. While not mandatory, completing Xianyun's Story Quest "Grus Serena Chapter" adds context and introduces Shuyu.

Gameplay Mechanics:

This event simulates beetle battles within the Serenitea Pot on Mt. Aocang. Control your Onikabuto using simple forward, backward, and jump controls. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Powerful Piercing Strikes are available by holding the attack button.

Battle Strategies:

The five stages present unique challenges:

  1. Staff Master (Basic Hilichurl): Repeated head attacks are effective. Observe ground markings to anticipate attacks.
  2. Torch-Wielding Hilichurl Berserker: Target the head and exploit the Pyro Slime as a weakness, particularly when it's about to be thrown.
  3. Pyro Abyss Mage: Interrupt its incantations, then attack relentlessly. Dodge its fireballs and flame pillars.
  4. Cryo Abyss Mage: Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. Stonehide Lawachurl: Quick attacks are crucial. After sufficient damage, a Geo Slime will appear; utilize a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.
