Conquer the Quirky Challenges of Genshin Impact's Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl!

Genshin Impact's Version 5.3 introduces the limited-time Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl, a unique beetle-battling event. This guide provides a straightforward approach to completing all five 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:

The event pits your Onikabuto beetle against various enemies within a Teapot simulation on Mt. Aocang. Controls are simple: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Strategic timing and stamina management are key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Master the Piercing Strike (hold attack button) for enhanced damage.

Battle Strategies:

Here's a breakdown of each stage's opponent and recommended tactics:

  1. Staff Master (Basic Hilichurl): Repeated head strikes are effective. Observe ground markings to anticipate attacks.
  2. Torch-Wielding Berserker (Hilichurl Berserker): Target the head; the Pyro Slime is also a vulnerable point, especially during its throw preparation.
  3. Pyro Abyss Mage: Interrupt its incantations to prevent attacks, then unleash a flurry of hits.
  4. Cryo Abyss Mage: Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. Stonehide Lawachurl: Swift attacks are crucial. A Geo Slime will emerge; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.

Difficulty and Rewards:

Select "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 per stage). "Utmost Might" (three-star) offers Mora and Enhancement Ores but lacks Primogem rewards. Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy behavior insights. Co-op mode allows teaming up with other players.
