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

Dive into the whimsical world of Genshin Impact's Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl! This limited-time event in Version 5.3 challenges you to command an Onikabuto beetle in five thrilling battles. This guide provides a straightforward path to victory.

Entry Requirements:

To participate, you'll need:

• Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
• Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue. Completing Xianyun's Story Quest "Grus Serena Chapter" adds context to the event's narrative, featuring the character Shuyu.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event is simple: pit your Onikabuto against various enemies within a Teapot simulation on Mt. Aocang. Control your beetle using Forward, Backward, and Jump, mastering timing and stamina management for optimal performance. Stronger attacks, like the Piercing Strike (hold the attack button), consume more stamina.

Battle Strategies:

Here's a breakdown of each stage's opponent and effective tactics:

1. Staff Master (Basic Hilichurl): Repeated head strikes are effective. Observe ground markings to anticipate attacks and dodge accordingly.
2. Torch-Wielding Berserker (Hilichurl Berserker): Target its head. The Pyro Slime it carries is also a vulnerable point, especially when it's about to throw it.
3. Red-Hot Mage (Pyro Abyss Mage): Interrupt its spellcasting, then unleash a flurry of attacks. Watch out for fireballs and flame pillars.
4. Freezing Cold Mage (Cryo Abyss Mage): Employ the same strategy as with the Pyro Abyss Mage.
5. Mini Mountain (Stonehide Lawachurl): Act swiftly, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.

Difficulty & Rewards:

Choose "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 per stage). "Utmost Might" (three-star) unlocks after completing "Focused Fight," offering Mora and Enhancement Ores, but no Primogems. Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy strategies if needed. Co-op mode allows teaming up with other players.

A total of 420 Primogems are up for grabs on Utmost Might difficulty. 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 Genshin Impact server time.
