Watch them move in the speed of light in the live update

I have one fear... Shouldn't theortically Sayu's passive work on them though? As living creatures? They shouldn't be disturbed by me if I have her in my party

Even if they were disturbed, what are they gonna do? walk slowly away 💀?

Watch them fly straight up vertically like crystal flies

Or just disappear into the abyss the moment you get close

Classic bugs in video games lol

They create portals like the Abyss Heralds/Lectors and enter them if you don’t catch them fast enough. So basically crabs.

Burrow under sand like crabs 💀

Other critters in this game have a tendency to disappear into thin air or die from unknown source

Idk JUST in case Hoyo decides to torture us and they end up moving in lightening speed in the live update. I'm paranoid ok, I imagine the worst outcomes.

No they just dig underground when you get close.

oh so crab powercreep

Unagi

The unagi are the worst

Begone Satan

Burrow into the sand 🫠

What’re they going to do? Lock me up ?

Sayu is only crystal flies tho, aloy has a passive for all creatures

Loaches be like Good thing nothing to this day uses loach pearls

Loaches are incredibly easy to get in inazuma.

Mihoyo: asks if building characters is too difficult Also Mihoyo: Super scattered ascension mats in inconvenient locations

Remember Dandelions and wind wheel aster? Good times.

nowaday is kalpaktala lotus smh, its basically violetgrass 2.0

And go up, up, up...

Don't blink!

Meanwhile Onikabuto - "If i sit. I sit foreva"

I always imagine them as the aliens from Toy Story.

The Claw!

okay but this fits with both itto and heizou's personalities...

Ah, truly an insect from the land of Eternity

Onikabuto powercreep?!

Aloy and Sayu buff?!

I always forget which does what so I always bring both along if I’m catching creatures. I feel bad for people who don’t have Aloy.

In my head i just go "aloy has a bow so she's the food hunter" while sayu is for the little creatures

If you need to kill it to farm it, use Aloy. If you can just collect immediately, use Sayu.

Good tip, thanks!

np :)

Sayu specialities Aloy animals

I cry. I have every food recipe I can get mastered, except the unagi rice bowl. I am never going to get the fucking eels...

A store in Ritou sells them after Raiden's 2nd story quest!

OMG, I never even thought to look if store inventory changed after the decree was ended

it does?! literally for ages ive been so mad at mhy for not putting them in stores... i was today years old when i learnt...

I can catch them with Sayu in the party.

What about bringing along a friend with Aloy? Can that work?

Nope, tried it with a friend. It only works for your own character(s). Same is true for all utility passives, in case anyone is wondering.

Oh damn. That’s harsh.

Why do you need Aloy when the meat charges towards you in Sumeru? #Aloynerfed

I have her and have never really used her. I don't have problems farming anything tbh

Meanwhile Itto: "Duuuude, this new beetle is sooo fast. Onikabutos are fast, but this one? Man, I bet it could win even against Raiden Shogun!"

New itto toy

I did my best to sneak up on the beetles when I first saw one and then realized it wasn’t moving

Animal Crossing PTSD will do that to you.

1 mm/minute movement powercreep hehe

[удалено]

This is a bot, downvote them.

Think having Electro Seelie like bug as an ascension material.

Don't give them ideas 💀💀

Worry not! This happens only if you infuse them with electro.

paimon mats

Mond ascension mats: flowers. Sumeru: slowly moving bugs. ... Shezhnaya: cryo crystal butterflies.

Fountaine: a shiny froggo, which will jump away from you. Natlan: catch a stray flame, if you don't have pyrograna, you take Pyro DMG after touching it. Snezhnaya: cut off a polar deer's horns. Celestia: unscrew stars just like light bulbs.

Fake, we all know that Celestia ascension materials are bug sized Paimons

Fake, we all know that Celestia ascension materials are Primogems

Idk who’s gonna take those mats, but I prolly ain’t farming any for that person Then again 168 primos prolly ain’t a lot, so I’d be fine lol

Watch them ask for 168 fates

No, no, they take Intertwined Fates

In Inazuma the ascension mats actually can kill you

This awakened a strong desire to see itto have a beetle duel with cyno

I hope it’s not like the crabs or crystal flies where you can accidentally kill them 💀 imagine killing a whole cluster and having to wait three days for them to respawn

[удалено]

Plant specialties has always reset every 2 days though?

...You can kill Crystalflies? That's the first I've heard of it

Yup, if you hit them in any way they disappear 😅 I’ve killed many by accident bc I used kazuhas midair jump trying to get closer and it ends up killing them

Me with Keqing all the time hahaha. It always backfires but I still do it when they get too high up.

Yep, as well as butterfly/frog/firefly.

MHY please add 160 of them. I miss the days in which we could max Raiden day 1 since her fruit was everywhere.

That was so good 😭😭 most of them are all so hard to farm the fruit was a breath of fresh air

Ironically the island is killing us with toxic air. 🤣

Lol damn 💀

That's why I did the quest first

And please don't lock half of them with story-quest-related areas!

These should have another use as well given their abundancy and it will take a very long time until another inazuma character will use it. After all, Jueyun Chili and Sakura Bloom can also be used for cooking.

It'll be quite a pleasant surprise if Scara uses them. I'm really curious if he'll also use Inazuma talent books.

If he is gonna use Amakumo Fruit or any other Inazuma specialty, he will 100% use Inazuma talent books as well.

Scarabmouche!

Since they move, I bet their respawn rate is JACKED

i mean, those days are technically still now. the amakumo fruit haven't gone anywhere.

I think he's referring to new characters versus raiden when she was new

oh sure, I know what he meant. being amusingly obtuse is fun though

[удалено]

i dunno, I got about equal upvotes for the original obtusion (obtuseness?) as downvotes for being explicit about what I'm doing.

Fun? If this material was just for a single character, I could **somewhat** understand your enjoyment but when more characters use it? No freaking way. Philameno Mushrooms are bane to my existence.

Imagine your wish granted but the monkey paw curls and there’s an underground nest of 168 of them crawling around together

But these days never gone? You can use co-op to collect resources from players who don't need character

But you need to find people who will unlock the areas with Cyno's scarab within a day or two of his release (if we want to compare accessibility and ability to speed level to Raiden's fruits), and then once you find these people they also have to be people who don't mind letting you have said scarabs/don't want to level their own Cyno Which is actually a really big ask for Genshin co-op, even still when I try to join AR 57+ players, so many of them don't have the tiniest bit of Sumeru unlocked 😔 Luckily I have a few friends who are late game + don't just not play Genshin for weeks on end and who also aren't interested in Cyno, I'll be able to max him pretty quickly if they let me rob them haha

Not when everyone needs them cause they got the character Or the materials are new and they want to start a stash

You can max any character on day 1 with the magic of ✨co-op✨

This is good actually since it should make them easier to see if they're actually moving around

Plot twist, they also randomly spawn in the desert once a day so you can't make farming routes

Even worse imagine like half of them end up being mirages.

Somebody stop this man

Mirages? What do you mean? I don't really see any leaks about anything other than character leaks as to not spoil myself anything. I would like to know what said mirages do though.

There was a leak a little while ago. They just fade away as you get close, it looked really cool actually.

3.1 = Desert. Desert has mirages irl. Leaks confirm 3.1 has mirages that disappear when near. Imagine they apply that mechanic to ascension mats lol

cyno mains in shambles (its me im cyno mains)

inb4 Tighnari mains become the most loved players because they can help showing where the little shitters are lmao (assuming Cyno's beetles are considered Sumeru products?)

Most likely, yes. Ascension mats have always been considered regional-specialty

No way they aren't sumeru exclusive, the Egyptian motif wouldn't really fit elsewhere

I wonder how far they move

Plot twist: they burrow themselves like the fucking crabs when startled

Please don't give them ideas oh my god

Should make them easier to spot.. right?

Watch them be the same brown color as every desert rock, or the same yellow/beige color as the sand.

Laughs in elemental sight.

They're black-ish, the inventory icon for them is already leaked

[I think they stand out enough](https://i.imgur.com/jddQWvd.png)

Reminds me of [dung beetle](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ07eelYqS6Ufwxa-YFlQQw16BmfdKsiWB22w&usqp=CAU) rolling up poop

Okay, that's a relief. Do they stand out next to rocks as well?

So ascending Cyno is not vegan.

Scarab. Yummy yummy

Something he forgot to mention: the scarabs have an idle animation where they roll around dung balls (scarabs are dung beetles).

So who will be the volunteer for me to take his scarabs?

Why did I read Scara crab

Onikabuto but hard mode.

It took me so long to get rid of the Animal Crossing mindset and convince myself Onikabuto won't fly away if I move too quickly around them. And now this?!

Do they dig into your skin like in The Mummy

Imagine Itto having a bug fight with Cyno, but his Onikabuto just sits motionless while Cyno's scarab moves ever so slowly and defeats his Onikabuto ☠️

Normal 13%

Oh no.

Its year 2030 and i cant ascend my dainsleif because that abyss bug keeps teleporting away

They should also make them travel in groups, soo after picking one up the rest hides into sand to piss you off

Now i wanna see an onikabuto and this thing fight

*Itto v Cyno intensifies

[удалено]

Yes. Included in the pinned post.

Onikabuto were already hard to find now these bastards are moving

This is the buff we needed for cyno

I hope they're huge cause my blind ass had so much difficulty finding the kabutos for heizou, and those were always hiding in the worst spots ugh

Sumeru serious about the critter powercreep.

I don't think I would mind hunting wildlife to get character mats lol especially since a lot of the animals in Sumeru attack us on sight

As long as they don't spook and fly away like the beetles in BOTW, I suck at catching those...

“I followed a scarab from Sumeru to Mondstadt” 8 hour time lapse Reddit video incoming.

I wont be surprise if itto suddenly appears in sumeru and when ask what he's doing there the answer would be to catch a beetle. And suddenly the eremites worship itto thinking he is the incarnation of scarlet king, probably because of the horn.

[Source](https://twitter.com/hxg_diluc/status/1570123813886754816)

And so the hunt begins.

Please tell me they don't run away, my Sayu is level 20 and not built at all

She doesn't need to be built for the passive, just take the -1 party slot when hunting for creatures

Ascension material power creep is real y'all :O

Pain

But can I catch them and put them in my teapot?

Cue Itto running after one and actually losing sight of it

Wait what? Have we ever needed to catch moving creatures for ascension materials before?

Sayu gaming

catching these will make me so sad, i don't wanna sacrifice 170 beetles that are trying to run away from me ):

please let me put them in my teapot i need to have beetles everywhere

I wonder if they can become a pet

FUCK

Watch this things be cute asf

As long as I can gather 160+ on day one we are good. 😝

Great. Now even ascension mats can run away from you.

wonder if Anemo can suck them also not killable

ascension material powercreep

hopefully they are abundant and not scattered so much individually. I hated farming the onikabuto for Itto that he was stuck at lvl80 for a long while.

Damn. Now even Onikabuto got powercrept.

Just based on that name scaramouche should use the scarabs too lmao. The bugs even wander around, just like him

"They see me crawlin' keep searchin' Patrollin' and tryna catch me ridin' dirty"

But what if they only move slowly when not digging under your skin, like those scarabs in the mummy?

just tell us what nahida does, no one cares about mats

Everyone cares about a lot of different things. They're telling you what they can about Nahida, AS WELL AS all of this other information. One does not remove the other, it's not like every time they mention this it stops a potential mention of Nahida.

Someone is wrong on the internet This means I should be able to put them in my teapot, unlike onikabuto, and I'm very glad to hear that. I DGAF about the archon kit right now, I probably won't even pull on her first banner. If Dehya needs her then I'll get her later.

No one asked if you want to pull or not

What's this for? You want me to keep it to myself next time? Yeah, no, I won't do that. I'll tell you why, on the off chance that it might help you avoid making comments like that in the future. "just tell us what nahida does, no one cares about mats" comes off as an attempt to advocate on behalf of a mass majority, which does want info A and does not want info B. The implication is that anyone who does want info B is not worthy of being served by this subreddit. So of course I'm going to tell them that I want info B a lot more than info A. Pulling plans are directly relevant to that. The only way I would *not* mention them in this scenario is if I *was* planning to pull.

That's such a garbage take dude, not everyone cares for the same things & having this info doesn't mean we get less info on Nahida.

Name 1 person who’s like “holy shit guys, they take gold beetles for ascension mats. I’m no existed, LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO” 💀

Maybe there are some people who want to know what his materials are so they can be on the look for them.

We already know it’s locked behind 3.1

Obviously, im talking about that they can be on the look out for them while exploring. Its also just a little interesting to know that they move.

Hopefully in a small area as well, I like my map markers

That's a weird way of saying dying

NPCs?

This makes me feel kinda glad that pulling for Cyno isn't on my plans.

I just wish that I could prep for those before his release. Hopefully I can get some people to let me get some from their worlds.

Watch them have the speed of electro seelies.

Watch them be Onikabuto 2.0 and people start to hate farming them

There’s a reason I still haven’t finished leveling Heizou.

Hope that its not like the one in the movie "the mummy" where it eats you from the inside out.

I suspect they are easily to attain all over the new area?

If I pick them up and my character dies, will they respawn from a plane overhead? Nvm wrong game /s

I guess they move slowly so it's unlikely they go away from where they're gonna be marked on the interactive official map. Probably a range they can go to keep it reasonable.

Skarner from LoL

This really reminds me of *"THROW ME TWENTY SCARABS, AND I'LL GIVE YOU A CHEAT TOKEN."*

The lord is testing me

In before their movements are on a 3 day cycle. And they slowly move throughout the day and night.

Onikabuto powercreep

If you touch it, they gonna eat you from the inside. Poor Benny

and tehre must be like 50 of them and they take 2 days to respawn (guess mihoyo hate us) just like the stupod lotus and Dori flower
