Author : Logan Update : Feb 22,2025

Conquer the Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact 5.3! This guide provides a straightforward approach to mastering this limited-time event's five beetle battles.

Event 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 to the event's narrative.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event simulates beetle battles within a Teapot at Mt. Aocang. Control your Onikabuto using simple forward, backward, and jump commands. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Utilize Piercing Strikes (hold attack button) for enhanced damage.

Battle Strategies:

Each of the five stages presents unique opponents:

  1. Staff Master (Basic Hilichurl): Repeated head strikes are effective. Observe ground markings to predict attacks.
  2. Torch-Wielding Berserker (Hilichurl Berserker): Target the head; the Pyro Slime is a vulnerability, especially during its throw preparation.
  3. Pyro Abyss Mage: Interrupt its incantations, then attack. Dodge fireballs and flame pillars.
  4. Cryo Abyss Mage: Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. Stonehide Lawachurl: Swift attacks are crucial. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.
