Genshin Impact: Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl Event Guide

Dive into Genshin Impact's Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl! This limited-time event in Version 5.3 challenges you to five beetle battles. This guide provides a straightforward approach to conquering each one.

Entry Requirements for Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl:

To participate, you'll need:

• Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
• Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue.
• (Optional, but recommended for context) Completion of Xianyun's Story Quest, "Grus Serena Chapter," which introduces Shuyu.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event is simple: You control an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang, facing off against familiar enemies. Controls are basic – Forward, Backward, and Jump – but precise timing and stamina management are key. Stamina is consumed with movement, especially when dashing or using the powerful Piercing Strike.

Stage-by-Stage Strategies:

Here's a breakdown of each battle and recommended tactics:

1. Staff Master (Basic Hilichurl): Repeated headshots are effective. Watch for ground indicators to anticipate attacks.
2. Torch-Wielding Berserker (Hilichurl Berserker with Pyro Slime): Target the head; the Pyro Slime is a vulnerable point, especially when preparing to throw it.
3. Red-Hot Mage (Pyro Abyss Mage): Interrupt its spellcasting, then attack relentlessly. Dodge its fireballs and flame pillars.
4. Freezing Cold Mage (Cryo Abyss Mage): Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
5. Mini Mountain (Stonehide Lawachurl): Attack swiftly, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use Piercing Strike on the slime for significant damage.

Difficulty and Rewards:

Choose "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 per stage). "Utmost Might" (three-star) offers Mora and Enhancement Ores but no Primogems. Use Piercing Strikes strategically for tougher stages.

Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy attack patterns if needed. Co-op mode is available; select "Match" to team up with other players.

Event Rewards:

Complete all challenges on Focused Fight for a total of 420 Primogems! Additional rewards include Hero's Wit, Sanctifying Unction, Mora, and Mystic Enhancement Ore.

Don't miss out! The event concludes January 13, 2025, at 03:59 server time. Get battling!
