Dive into Genshin Impact's Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl! This limited-time event in Version 5.3 challenges you to beetle battles. This guide simplifies conquering all five battles.
Entry Requirements for Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl:
To participate, you must:
- Achieve Adventure Rank 20.
- Complete the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue. While not mandatory, completing Xianyun's Story Quest "Grus Serena Chapter" enhances understanding of the event's narrative, as Shuyu is featured there.
Gameplay Mechanics:
The event is simple: you control an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang, facing various overworld enemies. Controls are intuitive: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Stronger attacks, like Piercing Strike (held attack button), require more stamina.
Battling the Beetles:
Here's a breakdown of each of the five stages and their respective opponents:
- "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A basic Hilichurl; repeatedly target its head. Observe ground markings indicating attack zones to dodge effectively.
- "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Focus on its head and the Pyro Slime (especially when it's about to throw it).
- "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage. More challenging; dodge its fireballs and flame pillars. Interrupt its attacks for maximum effect.
- "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage. Use the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
- "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl. Attack swiftly, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; utilize a Piercing Strike for optimal damage.
Difficulty and Strategy:
Choose "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 Primogems per stage). "Utmost Might" (three-star) unlocks after completing "Focused Fight," offering Mora and Enhancement Ores but no Primogems. Utilize Piercing Strikes strategically. Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy attack patterns if needed. Co-op mode is available; select "Match" to team up with others.
Rewards:
Complete the event on "Utmost Might" for a total of 420 Primogems. Additional rewards include Hero's Wit, Sanctifying Unction, Mora, and Mystic Enhancement Ore.
The event concludes on January 13, 2025, at 03:59 server time. Don't miss out on these valuable rewards! Genshin Impact is available now.
