How to farm Cyno materials
Though Cyno is an Electro user, a fair few of his materials appear in the Sumeru region. He shares a few ascension materials with Dori and Tighnari, so chances are you may have a few of them already. However, he also has a couple of new ascension materials you need to find.
Divining, Sealed, and Forbidden Curse Scrolls
All of the scrolls drop from any of the Samachurl enemies, with rarer scrolls appearing as loot for killing stronger Samachurls. They start to drop Sealed Scrolls when they hit level 40, while Forbidden Curse Scrolls appear as they reach level 60. You can find Samachurls in many areas in Genshin Impact, but the best places to farm them are:
- Stormterror’s Lair (Monsdtadt)
- Between Tianqiu Valley and Cuijue Slope (Liyue)
- Kujou Encampment and Tatarasuna areas on Kannazuka Island (Inazuma)
You can also craft higher-tier scrolls. Combine three Divining Scrolls with 25 Mora to get a Sealed Scroll, or three Sealed Scrolls with 50 Mora to get a Forbidden Curse Scroll.
Scarabs
Scarabs are the unique item that Cyno needs to ascend that no other character requires so far. You can find these critters scurrying around the desert ruins of Sumeru.
Thunderclap Fruitcore
You can find the Thunderclap Fruitcore as a drop from a level 30+ Electro Regisvine. These are a new Regisvine variety first introduced in the 3.0 update, and you can find them in the Mawtiyima Forest in Sumeru.
Electro ascension materials
As an Electro character, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that Cyno requires Electro ascension materials, namely Vajrada Amethyst fragments, slivers, chunks, and gemstones. You can get these by defeating the following weekly and normal bosses.
- Azhdaha
- Dvalin
- Childe
- Coral Defenders
- Electro Hypostasis
- Primo Geovishap
- Thunder Manifestation
- Electro Regisvine
Additionally, you can also craft the higher rarities of Vajrada Amethyst by converting lower-tiered versions, such as using three slivers to make a fragment. You can also use a Dust of Azoth to convert other jewel types into the desired Electro-type.
Talent ascension materials
Cyno also requires the Admonition book chain to purchase upgrades, which is one of the newer talent chain items added since the 3.0 update. Currently, you can only get these books from the Steeple of Ignorance domain, which you can find near Chatrakam Cave in Sumeru on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Finally, you need a Crown of Insight for every talent you intend to maximise their level. There are seven available via offerings, and limited-time Genshin Impact events also tend to be a good source of these precious items.
