This domain is located on the northern edge of the Sumeru rainforest, and you have to spend Original or Condensed Resin to claim rewards after defeating the enemies.
Moreover, these talent books can also be acquired from theBattle Pass if you buy the premium tier, or from different limited-time events if they’re in Sumeru.
Mirror of Mushin is anexclusive Weekly Boss drop found after defeating Scaramouche and claiming the rewards from the flower. This boss is unlocked only after you finish the fifth act of the Sumeru Archon Quest chapter, and you need a strong team to defeat him.
Where To Find Nagadus Emerald Crystal
Seven elements rule the world of Teyvat: Pyro, Cryo, Anemo, Geo, Electro, Hydro, and Dendro.Each of these elements has a certain set of crystals that are crucial for ascending the charactersthat wield the respective element. Nagadus Emerald crystals belong to the Dendro element, and they’re the hardest to get.
This is because Dendro was released almost two years after the rest of the elements.The late release led to a situation where none of the beginner bosses had a chance of giving you these crystals. With that in mind, here are a few steps to get the required crystals quickly.
Where To Find Sand Grease Pupa
If you’ve had any experience with farming regional specialties in Sumeru,you know that this region has one of the most troublesome farming routes. While Sand Grease Pupa is a specialty exclusive to Sumeru as well, it can be much easier to farm if you do it at the correct spot.
The only problem while farming these items is that they’re mostly present in caves with little light, andtheir resemblance with Iron Ore can make you easily miss them. There are around 74 Sand Grease Pupas in one world, andyou can only find them in the Desert of Hadramaveth area of the Sumeru Desert.
If you don’t want to go around each corner of Desert and farm all of these items,you can head over to the marked region since most Sand Grease Pupa are clustered up in this area. Teleport to the Waypoint on the southern end of the marker and go down to the World Boss area where you’ll be able to find tons of this specialty.
Tighnari is a five-star character who can be acquired on the Standard Banner or if you lose your 50/50 on the Character Banner. He has a passive that allows him tocreate a hand marker on the mini-map whenever you’re near a regional specialty in Sumeru.
While going around the marked area, you can easily find the locations using this marker. If you’re standing on the marker but can’t see any regional specialty, it is likely either above or below you.
Where To Find Red Satin, Silk, And Brocade
It looks like everything required by Alhaitham can only be found in Sumeru. Red Satin, Silk, and Brocade aremob drops that are acquired after defeating different Eremites scattered all across Sumeru. These enemies can be found in groups guarding a chest all across this region.
You will always get the lowest rarity drop when you kill an Eremite, but there’s a chance of getting better rarity drops as well.Moreover, killing mini-bosses that can wield different elements has a higher chance of dropping green or blue items.
Where To Find Pseudo-Stamens
The Desert of Hadramaveth was released in the Version 3.4 update alongside Alhaitham in Genshin Impact. While this area had its own secrets,it also had a boss called Setekh Wenut located on the southern end, roughly in the middle of the entire Desert area. You will be able to see this boss on your map after unlocking the Statue in this area.
To get to this boss, you have to teleport to the nearest Waypoint and jump down a giant hole that you’ll find at the location of the boss.The battle will already start as you’re falling, so make sure you have a strong team activated.
This boss constantly goes in and out of the sand, and you won’t get a lot of instances where you can deal damage to it.So, it’s important to have heavy hitters who aren’t dependent on short-term Burst damage. You can kill this boss with raw damage before it triggers any special moves.
Although, it might go into a special mode after losing over half of its health where the boss will spawn multiple Anemo bubbles around it.You have to hit these bubbles with any of the following elements: Pyro, Cryo, Hydro, or Electro. This will bring the boss down, allowing you to attack him constantly.
