So, you’re exploring Inazuma in Genshin Impact. You’ve noticed the vibrant pink trees. They are Sakura Trees. They serve a purpose beyond looks for your Traveler’s selfies.
These beauties connect to quests, resources, and lightning strikes if you aren’t careful. This guide covers everything you need about Sakura Trees in Genshin Impact.
Thunder Sakura Tree Hotspots in Inazuma
No generic “Inazuma” here. Let’s get specific. Searching for Thunder Sakura Trees? Head to Kannazuka Island. It’s the Sakura Central Station.
There are FIVE Thunder Sakura Trees on Kannazuka. Here are their exact spots for you to enjoy:
- North of the Kujou Encampment: Enjoy a scenic Sakura view merged with military tents.
- South of the Kujou Encampment: The Kujou Encampment offers prime Sakura real estate.
- Northwest of the Statue of the Seven on Tatarasuna: Statues are good landmarks, plus a Sakura bonus.
- South of the northwestern Teleport Waypoint at Tatarasuna: Teleport and Sakura profits.
- West of the southernmost Teleport Waypoint in Tatarasuna: Another Sakura spot in Tatarasuna.
Sakura Arborism Quest: Healing Hurt Trees (and Getting Primogems!)
Do you ever feel bad for digital trees? The Sakura Arborism quest lets you become a tree doctor! Finding those Thunder Sakura is key to starting this quest.
Why? Primogems, of course! You earn 60 Primogems for becoming an arborist. Plus, you help trees in Teyvat. That’s nice.
This quest involves healing the trees in Kannazuka. They have some juvenile antics, meaning annoying energy pools.
Here’s how to heal trees:
- Elemental Sight: Use Elemental Sight to spot blue swirling energy pools near troubled trees. They’re hard to miss.
- Pool Party: Stand in pools until sparks gather around you. It’s like charging for a lightning counter-attack.
- Dash Out, Lightning In: Before you get zapped, dash out. The lightning will strike the pool instead of you.
- Repeat for all pools: Clean all pools around each tree. Once gone, the tree returns to its healthy pink self.
You dodge lightning to heal trees. Classic Genshin Impact logic.
Thunder Sakura Trees: Nature’s Electric Fence
Thunder Sakura look beautiful, but they pack voltage. They act as nature’s electric fence; instead of keeping cows in, they zap anyone who gets close.
These trees are enormous trunks infused with Electro energy. Get too cozy, and they’ll unleash deadly lightning bolts. This causes AoE Electro DMG—it’s not just a tickle.
Admire them from a safe distance unless you enjoy electrocution.
Sakura Blooms: Petals of Power (and Patience)
Sakura Blooms—those pink petals scattered around? They are not for decoration. You need them for character ascension and crafting. They are pink gold.
Respawn Time: Sakura Blooms take a full 48 hours to respawn after you collect them. Plan your farming routes.
Gathering 101: Spot Sakura petals? Great! Don’t walk up and pick them. Give them a little jolt.
Whack them with an Electro attack or walk over them while using an Electrograna. This zaps them into collectibles.
No Buying Allowed: You can’t buy Sakura Blooms anywhere. Only wild foraging works. Channel your inner gatherer.
Electro Sigils: Inazuma’s Shiny Currency
Electro Sigils are purple tokens scattered throughout Inazuma. These tokens act as Inazuma’s regional shiny currency. Sakura Trees and Electro Sigils connect indirectly.
Chest Bonanza: Chests in Inazuma are your main source of Electro Sigils. The fancier the chest, the more sigils you earn:
- Normal Chests: Get 1 Electro Sigil. Every bit helps.
- Exquisite Chests: Those give 2 Electro Sigils. Slightly better.
- Precious Chests: Now we’re talking, 3 Electro Sigils!
- Luxurious Chests: Jackpot! 4 Electro Sigils await.
- Remarkable Chests: Oddly, these give zero Electro Sigils. It feels unfair.
Other Sigil Stashes: Chests aren’t your only source.
- Statues of the Seven: Level those Electro Statues to receive some Sigils. It’s a thank you for devotion.
- Hidden Quests & Exploration: Complete unmarked quests for Electro Sigils.
Sigil Farming Tips: Want to become an Electro Sigil tycoon?
- Treasure Compass: Use the Treasure Compass to hunt for missed chests. It’s like a digital metal detector for loot.
- Interactive Maps: Use online interactive maps for unmarked chests and puzzles.
- World Quest Completionist: Complete World Quests! Some reward you with Electro Sigils.
Sacred Sakura’s Favor: Sigil Sink (for good reason): Remember the Grand Narukami Shrine? The Sacred Sakura there consumes Sigils.
- Level Up with Sigils: Feed Electro Sigils to the Sacred Sakura to level up. Each level needs 25 Sigils.
- Max Level Grind: There are 50 levels in total, needing 1,250 Electro Sigils. Start saving!
Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual: Sakura Power Unleashed
The Sacred Sakura connects to a ritual: the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual. Here’s the gist if you’re exploring Araumi:
Visit the Araumi region in northern Narukami Island. It’s not hidden but not overly obvious either.
Ritual Steps (Simplified):
- Pillar Puzzle: Light all the Electro pillars around the big Sakura tree and nearby stone ruin.
- Kitsune Statue Secrets: Go to the stone tower ruin. Use your Memento Lens on Kitsune statues there.
This ritual is part of a larger questline interconnecting with the lore and power of the Sacred Sakura itself.
