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

In Genshin Impact Version 5.3, the limited-time event "Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl" challenges players with a series of beetle battles. This guide details how to easily conquer all five battles.

Event Participation Requirements:

To join the fun, 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's premise is simple: use an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles (within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang) against various enemies. Controls are intuitive: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Powerful attacks like Piercing Strike consume even more.

Battling the Beetles' Foes:

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

1. "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A basic Hilichurl; repeatedly target its head, dodging its attacks indicated by ground markings.
2. "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Focus on 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 fire spellcasting, then attack relentlessly.
4. "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage. Employ the same strategy as with the Pyro Abyss Mage.
5. "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl. Attack swiftly, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.

Difficulty and Gameplay Tips:

Choose "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 Primogems per stage). "Utmost Might" (three-star difficulty), unlocked after clearing "Focused Fight," offers Mora and Enhancement Ores but no Primogems. Utilize Piercing Strikes strategically. Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy attack patterns. Co-op mode is available; select "Match" to team 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.

The event concludes on January 13, 2025, at 03:59 Genshin Impact server time. Don't miss out on these valuable rewards! Genshin Impact is available now.
