Genshin Impact's Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl: A Comprehensive Guide to Victory

Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl is a limited-time event in Genshin Impact Version 5.3, challenging players to beetle combat. This guide simplifies the five battles.

Event Requirements:

  • Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
  • Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue. Completing Xianyun's Story Quest "Grus Serena Chapter" adds context.

Gameplay:

The event uses Onikabuto beetles in simulated battles within a Teapot at Mt. Aocang against various enemies. Controls are simple: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume it. Piercing Strikes (holding the attack button) inflict greater damage.

Enemy Strategies:

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 with Pyro Slime): Target the head; the Pyro Slime is also a weak point, particularly when preparing to throw it.
  3. Pyro Abyss Mage: Interrupt its spellcasting, then attack repeatedly. Dodge fireballs and flame pillars.
  4. Cryo Abyss Mage: Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. Stonehide Lawachurl: Rapid attacks are necessary. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.

Difficulty and Rewards:

Choose "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 per stage). "Utmost Might" (three-star) offers Mora and Enhancement Ores but no Primogems. Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy information. Co-op mode allows teamwork.
