What Happens When You Use the Mask of Memories in Genshin Impact

Unlocking Electro Supremacy: Your Guide to the Genshin Impact Mask of Memories

Are you exploring Inazuma? Maybe those rogue foxes are zapping you. Want to enhance your Electro abilities? Let’s chat about the Mask of Memories. It isn’t a spooky trinket from a haunted spot (though Inazuma can feel eerie). This mask lets you craft a cool weapon: the Hakushin Ring.

Stop hoarding those old Hilichurl masks. Let’s be real, you have loads. (When will Teyvat get a mask recycling program?) This one-time-use item unlocks Electro abilities. If you want to know how to get this elusive mask and what it does, you’ve found the right guide. Here, we skip the cryptic riddles and add some dry humor.

The Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual: Your Path to Mask of Memories

First, you can’t just find the Mask of Memories while battling Treasure Hoarders. You must complete the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual World Quest. This quest has plenty of mystery and cleansing rituals. Think less relaxation, more banishing dark forces. It starts with an NPC, Hanachirusato. (Trust me, her name is memorable.)

Hanachirusato hangs around the Grand Narukami Shrine, near a kitsune statue. Interacting with her leads to tasks. You’ll cleanse barriers, solve puzzles, and face spiritually charged foes. The quest spans various Inazuma locations and reveals a captivating story. It’s like a scenic ghost-hunting tour.

Without giving too much away, expect corrupted areas. You’ll need to use your elemental sight often. Hanachirusato, despite her mystic vibe, proves helpful. (Paimon could learn from her on guidance.) As you complete each challenge, you will reach the quest’s end. There, you will receive the Mask of Memories as a reward. So, get ready for the quest!

One-Time Wonder: Using (and Losing) Your Mask of Memories

You conquered the Cleansing Ritual, fought shadows, and got the Mask of Memories. What now? Don’t get attached! It’s a one-time-use deal. Once you use the mask from your inventory, it disappears. Poof! (You can’t retrieve it, even if you reload your save.) But don’t be alarmed; it serves an important function: unlocking the crafting recipe for the Hakushin Ring.

The Mask of Memories is like a one-use key opening a crafting treasure chest. After activation, the knowledge to forge the Hakushin Ring sticks with your character. Or it’s added to your crafting menu, depending on game magic. What matters is, you can craft the Hakushin Ring at any blacksmith if you have materials. The mask may vanish, but its benefits remain valuable.

Hakushin Ring: Unleashing Electro Elemental Mastery

So, what’s special about the Hakushin Ring? Why undergo a long quest just for it? The Hakushin Ring is a four-star catalyst in Genshin Impact. It’s no ordinary weapon. Its power lies in a passive ability enhancing Elemental Reactions, especially Electro ones.

(Yes, off-field buffs are crucial in Genshin Impact.)

This makes it great for support characters applying Electro off-field, like Fischl, Lisa, or even Raiden Shogun. Picture Fischl’s Oz triggering Electro-Charged reactions, boosting your Hydro DPS character’s damage. Or Lisa using her AoE Electro to create devastating reactions that enhance Pyro DPS. The options are thrilling.

More Than Just Hilichurl Fodder

Back to those Hilichurl masks we mentioned – those Fragile Masks, Ominous Masks, and Stained Masks that drop rarely? (Is there a conspiracy to make mask farming frustrating?) While the Mask of Memories has a clear purpose, others mostly end up as character ascension materials.

If you’re curious or enjoy misery, explore community discussions about Hilichurl mask drop rates. You’ll find shared struggles and maybe some coping methods at Hoyolab. (Misery loves company, especially in gacha games.) But let’s highlight the positive: the Mask of Memories is a guaranteed reward. It’s a step towards Electro mastery and way better than random Hilichurl mask drops. Go cleanse those Sakura roots, grab your Mask of Memories, and craft a Hakushin Ring. Your Electro characters will appreciate it!
