Entry 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 to the event's narrative.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event pits your Onikabuto beetle against various enemies within a Teapot simulation on Mt. Aocang. Controls are simple: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Utilize Piercing Strikes (hold attack button) for enhanced damage.

Stage Strategies:

The five stages present unique challenges:

  1. Staff Master (Basic Sweeps): A straightforward Hilichurl; focus attacks on its head, dodging ground indicators.
  2. Staff Master (Torch Wielder): A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Target its head and the Pyro Slime, especially during its throw animation.
  3. Pyro Abyss Mage: A tougher opponent; interrupt its fire spellcasting and attack relentlessly.
  4. Cryo Abyss Mage: Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. Stonehide Lawachurl: A fast-paced battle; attack consistently. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.
