How To Play Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact

The event's premise is simple yet engaging: you'll battle using an Onikabuto beetle within a simulated environment at Mt. Aocang's Teapot. In Genshin Impact's universe, beetle battling is a popular children's pastime, and you'll get to experience it firsthand.

The controls are user-friendly, consisting of Forward, Back, and Jump commands. Timing and stamina management are key, as your Onikabuto uses stamina to move and perform actions like the powerful Piercing Strike.

Here are the adversaries you'll face in each of the five stages and strategies to overcome them:

  • "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A Hilichurl that you can defeat by repeatedly hitting its head. Be mindful of the ground markings indicating its attack range and dodge accordingly.
  • "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker carrying a Pyro Slime. Aim for its head and exploit the Pyro Slime's vulnerability when it's about to be thrown.
  • "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage that launches fireballs and flame pillars. Interrupt its chant to knock it down, then strike repeatedly.
  • "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who's Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage that you can defeat using the same tactics as against the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  • "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl that requires quick reflexes. Continuously attack it until a Geo Slime appears, then use a Piercing Strike on the Slime for significant damage.
