Conquer Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact 5.3!
This guide provides a straightforward walkthrough for completing the five beetle battles in Genshin Impact's limited-time Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl event.
Event Requirements:
- 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 to the event's narrative.
Gameplay Mechanics:
The event involves piloting an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles against various enemies within a Teapot at Mt. Aocang. Controls are simple: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Master the timing of Piercing Strikes (by holding the attack button) for maximum damage.

Battle Strategies:
Here's a breakdown of each stage's opponent and recommended tactics:
- Staff Master (Basic Horizontal Sweeps): A straightforward Hilichurl; focus attacks on its head, dodging its ground-marked attacks.
- Staff Master (Torch Wielder): A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Target its head and exploit the Pyro Slime as a weak point, especially during its throw animation.
- Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage: A Pyro Abyss Mage. Interrupt its fire spell casting, then unleash a flurry of attacks.
- Bouncy, Energetic Cryo Mage: A Cryo Abyss Mage. Employ the same strategy as with the Pyro Abyss Mage.
- Mini Mountain (Stonehide Lawachurl): A fast-paced fight. Attack aggressively, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for significant damage.
