Author : Layla Update : Jan 27,2025

Conquer the Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact 5.3! This guide provides a straightforward walkthrough for this limited-time event, ensuring you effortlessly complete all five beetle battles.

Entry Requirements:

To participate, you'll need:

  • 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 is a simulated beetle battle within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang. You control an Onikabuto beetle using simple controls: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Stronger attacks, like Piercing Strikes (hold attack button), require more stamina.

Battle Strategies:

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

  1. Staff Master (Basic Hilichurl): Repeatedly target its head, dodging its attacks indicated by ground markings.
  2. Torch-Wielding Berserker (Hilichurl Berserker): Focus on its head and the Pyro Slime it carries, particularly when it's preparing to throw the slime.
  3. Pyro Abyss Mage: Interrupt its spellcasting to prevent fire attacks, then attack relentlessly.
  4. Cryo Abyss Mage: Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. Stonehide Lawachurl: Quickly attack, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.
