Author: Sadie Jan 21,2025

In Genshin Impact Version 5.3, participate in the limited-time event, Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl! This guide will help you conquer the five beetle battles with ease.

Event Requirements:

To join the fun, 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 story, as Shuyu is featured in it.

Gameplay:

This event is simple: control an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang, facing off against various enemies. Use the straightforward controls – Forward, Backward, and Jump – but remember precise timing and stamina management are key. Stamina is consumed with movement, especially when sprinting or using the powerful Piercing Strike attack.

Here's a breakdown of each battle:

  1. Staff Master (Basic Horizontal Sweeps): A regular Hilichurl. Focus attacks on its head, watching for ground indicators of its attacks to dodge effectively.
  2. Staff Master (Torch Wielder): A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Target its head; the Pyro Slime is also a vulnerable point, especially when it's about to be thrown.
  3. Red-Hot Mage: A Pyro Abyss Mage. More challenging due to fireballs and flame pillars. Interrupt its attacks to create openings for damage.
  4. Freezing Cold Mage: A Cryo Abyss Mage. Use the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. Mini Mountain: A Stonehide Lawachurl. A fast-paced battle; be wary of its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; prioritize a Piercing Strike on the Slime for heavy damage.
