Anemoculus Hunting in Genshin Impact: A Guide to Leveling Up Your Windy God Statues
So, you’re wandering around Mondstadt. You feel the breeze and enjoy the scenery. Then BAM! You see your Statue of the Seven is underdeveloped. Don’t worry, it happens. The solution? Anemoculi. Those cute teal wisps scattered across the land like dandelion seeds.
Finding Anemoculi may feel like a walk in the park or like trying to catch smoke with chopsticks. But fear not, traveler! This guide helps you snag every windy collectible. Let’s dive into the details.
The Great Anemoculus Count: 65 or 66?
Ah, the question every Genshin adventurer asks: are there 65 or 66 Anemoculi? The answer is both! Confused? Don’t be, it’s Genshin! There are indeed 66 Anemoculi in total.
But here’s the twist: one sneaky spirit is given to you at the start of your adventure. You receive it in the Archon Quest “Sparks Amongst the Pages” in the Temple of the Lion. Think of it as a beginner’s trophy. This Anemoculus doesn’t show up on fancy maps since it’s practically glued to you at the start.
When searching every nook of Mondstadt using interactive maps, you look for 65 Anemoculi in the open world. Guess what? You end up with a spare Anemoculus after maxing out the Statues of the Seven. Consider it a bonus or Paimon’s snack fund.
Pinpointing the Elusive Anemoculi: Location Intel
Let’s talk about where to find these breezy baubles. You probably have questions about a few specific ones, so here’s the breakdown.
The Last Anemoculus: Musk Reef Mystery
“Where is the last Anemoculus?!” If you’re missing one, it’s likely at the somewhat-secretive Musk Reef. This isn’t exactly on the beaten path.
To reach Musk Reef, go to Cape Oath on eastern Galesong Hill. Don’t sprint off a cliff! Look for three Seelies on the clifftops. These glowing guides lead you to your goal.
Follow them as they go to their statues. Once all three find their places, a wind current will appear. Jump into this updraft, and it’ll take you to a warp portal. Step through and *poof*! You’re at Musk Reef, ready to grab that last Anemoculus. For visual guides, check out this one by TheGamer: Genshin Impact: Mondstadt’s Anemoculus Locations.
The Secret Anemoculus: Tree-Hugger Edition
Is there a *secret* Anemoculus? Yes, but it’s sneakier than most. This Anemoculus plays hide-and-seek among the trees.
Leave Mondstadt and follow the road. Look for ruins and that giant tree off to your right. Don’t rush to the tree just yet. Instead, find a small line of trees closer to the ruins. Go around the leftmost tree, and bam! The Anemoculus hides among its leaves.
Stormterror Lair Anemoculus: Scaling the Dragon’s Den
Stormterror’s Lair sounds intimidating, but it’s another playground for Anemoculus hunting. To get the Stormterror Lair Anemoculus, become a climber.
Head to the Stormterror Domain (the big building in the center). Instead of going inside, look for cracks in the ruins surrounding it. Climb to the highest point using those cracks. Think of it as a mini-climbing puzzle.
Once you’re at the top, spot a chest. And hovering above that chest? An Anemoculus! Snatch it up and maybe open the chest for surprise goodies.

Do Anemoculi Respawn? (Spoiler: Nope)
Anemoculi do NOT respawn. Once grabbed, they’re gone for good. Think of them as limited edition collectibles that power up your statues. If you’re low on offerings, hunt down more wisps scattered across Mondstadt. Happy hunting!

What’s the Deal with the Anemoculus Resonance Stone? (Your Windy GPS)
Feeling lost in your Anemoculus search? You need an Anemoculus Resonance Stone. This handy gadget is a homing beacon for nearby Anemoculi.
It acts as your personal Anemoculus GPS. Use one, and it’ll point toward any uncollected Anemoculi nearby. It’s not magic, but it narrows down your search area and saves time. Learn more on Genshin Impact Wiki: Anemoculus Resonance Stone – Genshin Impact Wiki – Fandom.
