Catch those Breezy Baubles: Your Guide to Anemoculus in Genshin Impact
You are exploring the stunning landscapes of Mondstadt in Genshin Impact. You hear about “Anemoculus.” You are not the only one, Traveler. These wisps of wind energy are essential. They boost your stamina and make life in Teyvat easier. Think of them as collectibles with in-game benefits. Way better than bottle caps!
Anemoculus Hunting in Brightcrown Mountains
Let’s focus on Brightcrown Mountains. This rugged area hides Anemoculi. If you want to collect all Anemo energy here, there are 16 Anemoculus waiting for you in Brightcrown Mountains.
The Grand Anemoculus Tally: Mondstadt Edition
Now, let’s take a broader view. Mondstadt, land of freedom and wind, has many Anemoculi. Get ready. You will go on a treasure hunt. There are a massive 66 Anemoculi throughout Mondstadt.
- Among these, 65 float in the overworld, tempting you from peaks and hidden corners.
- The sneaky 66th? It is rewarded during the Archon Quest “Sparks Amongst the Pages” in Prologue: Act I. It is your prize for starting this adventure.
- Did you know the first temple, Temple of the Lion, has an Anemoculus? Yes, it’s hard to miss and part of the tutorial zone, which is why it is not always on maps. Consider it a bonus for surviving the opening cutscene.
Why so many? To fully upgrade your Statue of The Seven in Mondstadt, you need to offer 65 Anemoculi. The other one? Maybe bragging rights or a spare in case you drop one.
Spotting and Snagging Anemoculi: A Hunter’s Guide
Let’s get practical. Here are tips to help you detect Anemoculi.
- The White Star Whisperer: Watch for a four-pointed white star on your map when near an Anemoculus. It signals you’re getting closer!
- Prologue Progress is Key: You can’t reach every Anemoculus at first. You need to move to act three of the prologue for the full map.
- Wind Current Wizardry: Spot an Anemoculus hovering near a cliff? Anemograna can help! Give them a nudge with Anemo skill to create a wind current that lifts you up. Double-jump to that Anemoculus.
Crafting the Anemoculus Resonance Stone: Your Personal Anemoculus Radar
Tired of searching aimlessly? There’s a gadget for that! Try the Anemoculus Resonance Stone. This handy item acts like a personal Anemoculus detector.
- Recipe Unlock: To craft it, boost your Reputation Level in Mondstadt to Level 2. This is easy and happens as you play.
- How it Works: Using the crafted stone will help you find undiscovered Anemoculi nearby. It’s not precise but much better than wandering around.
The Case of the Last Anemoculus: Musk Reef Mystery
The last Anemoculus sits in Galesong Hill region. It likes to play hide-and-seek on Musk Reef, off eastern Cape Oath. Follow a trio of Seelies near Cape Oath cliffs. They will guide you to your reward.
Anemoculus: Use ’em or Lose ’em (Just Kidding, You Can’t Lose ’em, But You Can’t Get More Either)
Heads up! Anemoculi are limited. After collecting them all, that’s it. They do not respawn. Collect wisely and offer them to Statues of the Seven.
Remember that extra Anemoculus? It’s floating in Mondstadt. Consider it a buffer or reward for your orb collection efforts.
Tracking Tech: Beyond the Resonance Stone
If you haven’t unlocked the Resonance Stone recipe, don’t worry. You still have tracking options.
- Manual Exploration: You can always explore. Stay alert and listen for their sounds when nearby! The white star indicator helps too.
- Interactive Maps: Use online maps to see all Anemoculus locations. These maps are great for 100% completion.
- The Treasure Compass… Not That One: The Anemoculus Resonance Stone is not the same as the Anemo Treasure Compass. The Treasure Compass finds chests, not Anemoculi.
A World of Oculi: Beyond Anemo
Anemoculi are just the start! As you move past Mondstadt, more elemental oculi appear.
- Geoculus (Liyue): In Liyue, you hunt down 131 Geoculi. You need only 130 to upgrade the Geo Statue of The Seven, leaving one bonus.
- Electroculus (Inazuma): In Inazuma, prepare for 181 Electroculi. It’s an exploration challenge!
- Dendroculus (Sumeru): In Sumeru, discover 271 Dendroculi. You need 270 to fully level the Dendro Statue.
- Hydroculus (Fontaine): In Fontaine, search for 271 Hydroculi to max out Hydro Statue.
- Pyroculus (Natlan): In Natlan, find 162 Pyroculus.
Statues of The Seven and City Reputation: Tying it All Together
What’s the obsession with collecting oculi and offering them to Statues of The Seven?
- Stamina Boost: Upgrading Statues raises your stamina in Genshin Impact. More stamina allows for better gliding, climbing, sprinting, and exploring. Worth it!
- City Reputation Perks: Remember that Mondstadt Reputation Level for the Resonance Stone? City Reputation systems unlock at Adventure Rank 25 after “The Outlander Who Caught the Wind.” They offer crafting recipes, gadgets, and rewards that aid your Genshin life.
Geographical Tidbits: Stormterror’s Lair and Old Mondstadt
Here’s a quick lore nugget for geography fans. Stormterror’s Lair, where some Brightcrown Mountain Anemoculi are found, was once Mondstadt’s site. Yes, before it was destroyed by a stormy dragon, Mondstadt sat proudly where Stormterror’s Lair exists now. A little historical context for your hunting expeditions.
Happy hunting! May the wind be at your back (unless you glide against it, then maybe not)!
