Genshin Impact: Yae Miko Ascension and Talents guide

How to get  Vajrada Amethyst

Vajrada Amethyst can be dropped by a few Bosses, like the Electro Hypostasis or the Thunder Manifestation. The Bathysmal Vishap Herd boss you need to defeat for Yae Miko also drops Vajrada Amethyst, but it can also drop Shivada Jade instead.

In that case, you can convert Shivada Jade and other Ascension gems with Dust of Azoth in Vajrada Amethyst.

How to get Dragonheir’s False Fin

This item is dropped by the Bathysmal Vishap Herd, also known as the Coral Defenders, below the Dainichi Mikoshi in Enkanomiya.

The fight pits you against two beefed up Vishaps, one Electro and one Cryo. Individually, they’re not difficult to fight but facing two of them is a different story.

Their coordinated attacks can be hard to follow, especially before you learn their attack patterns.

They deal True Damage with some of their attacks, and they can also drain your energy. True Damage goes through Shields, so bring a healer that can restore your health without using an Elemental Burst like Barbara or Noelle.

How to get Old Handguard, Kageuchi Handguard, Famed Handguard

These are dropped by the wandering Samurai enemies that are extremely common throughout Inazuma. Because they’re so common, they’re a little stingy on drops. Even the elite Kairagi enemies typically don’t drop more than a single Handguard, so be sure to hunt the Samurai for sport when you see them.

How to get Teachings of Light, Guide to Light, Philosophies of Light

These Talent materials are obtained at Violet Court, south of Amakane Island. The domain gives a bonus to Electro Damage. You’ll be fighting hoards of easy mobs like Hilichurls on the first challenge level, and then all sorts of Samurai and Treasure Hoarders later on.

How to get Sea Ganoderma

Sea Ganoderma can be found all over the coasts of Inazuma, but the place they spawn most is on the northern island of Tatarasuna and then in the gulf east of Kujou Encampment.

How to get The Meaning of Aeons

Brand new for 2.5, The Meaning of Aeons is one of three drops you can get by fighting the new Weekly Boss, Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto (the puppet Shogun). To get this fight, you first must complete the second chapter of Raiden Shogun’s story.

The Shogun hits fast and hard, and requires some specific characters on your team to deal with. You need an Electro character to block her instant-kill Final Calamity attack, and characters who can quickly deal Elemental damage are invaluable. Pyro and Cryo are particularly strong here.

She’ll charge up her Fury when she lands hits on you. When it’s full, she unleashes her Baleful Shadowlord form that has massive damage resistance. Hit her with Elemental reactions to break through. She’ll be stunned after you break down her Shadowlord form, which is your opportunity to go all out.

How to get Crown of Insight

The very rare Crown of Insight is only available as a reward for completing events. You’ll need one to max out just one of a character’s Talents, but there are a limited amount of them. For more information about Crown of Insight, check out our in-depth look here.
