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 challenge.

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. While not mandatory, completing Xianyun's Story Quest "Grus Serena Chapter" adds context and introduces Shuyu.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event is simple: control your Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang against various enemies. Movement is controlled using forward, back, and jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Stronger attacks, like the Piercing Strike (held attack button), require more stamina.

Battling the Beetles:

Here's a breakdown of each stage's opponent and strategy:

1. "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A basic Hilichurl; repeatedly strike its head, dodging its ground-marked attacks.
2. "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Target its head and the Pyro Slime, particularly when it's preparing to throw it.
3. "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage. Interrupt its attacks by striking it repeatedly after dodging its fireballs and flame pillars.
4. "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage. Use the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
5. "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl. Focus on quick attacks, dodging its moves. A Geo Slime will appear; utilize a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.

Difficulty and Gameplay Tips:

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. Utilize Piercing Strikes strategically. Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy attack patterns if needed. A co-op mode allows teaming up with other players.

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.
