by Alexander Jan 24,2025

Conquer the Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact Version 5.3! This limited-time event challenges you to beetle-battling glory. This guide provides a straightforward approach to victory in all five battles.

Entry Requirements:

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

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event takes place within your Serenitea Pot on Mt. Aocang. You control an Onikabuto beetle against various enemies using simple controls: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Stamina management is key; movements consume stamina, with stronger attacks like Piercing Strike using even more.

Battle Strategies:

Each of the five stages presents unique opponents:

  1. "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A basic Hilichurl; focus attacks on its head, dodging ground markers indicating attacks.
  2. "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Target its head and the Pyro Slime, especially when it's preparing to throw it.
  3. "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage. Interrupt its spellcasting, then unleash a flurry of attacks.
  4. "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage. Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl. Attack swiftly, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.
