Author : Ava Feb 02,2025

Conquer the Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact 5.3! This guide provides a straightforward walkthrough for this limited-time event, ensuring you effortlessly complete all five beetle battles.

Entry Requirements:

  • 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:

This event features simulated beetle battles within your Serenitea Pot on Mt. Aocang. You control an Onikabuto beetle using simple controls: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Powerful attacks, like Piercing Strike (hold attack button), require significant stamina.

Battling the Beetles:

The five stages present unique challenges:

  1. Staff Master (Basic Hilichurl): Repeated head attacks are effective. Dodge ground markings indicating attacks.
  2. Torch-Wielding Berserker (Hilichurl Berserker): Target the head; the Pyro Slime it carries is also a vulnerable point.
  3. Pyro Abyss Mage: Interrupt its fire spellcasting, then attack relentlessly. Dodge fireballs and flame pillars.
  4. Cryo Abyss Mage: Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. Stonehide Lawachurl: A fast-paced battle; watch for attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use Piercing Strike for optimal damage.

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