Genshin Impact: Master Shuyu's Enigmatic Beetle Brawl

Author : Thomas Feb 25,2025

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

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 features in it.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event utilizes a simplified battle system within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang. You control an Onikabuto beetle using basic forward, backward, and jump controls. Stamina management is key; movement and attacks consume stamina. Master the timing of Piercing Strikes (held attack) for maximum damage.

Stage-Specific Strategies:

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

  1. Staff Master (Basic Hilichurl): Repeated headshots are effective. Dodge ground markings indicating attacks.
  2. Torch-Wielding Berserker (Hilichurl Berserker): Target the head; the Pyro Slime it carries is also a vulnerable point, especially during its throw animation.
  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: Prioritize speed and dodge its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for significant damage.
