Raiden Shogun materials farming guide
Amakumo Fruit
To find this glowing lilac fruit, you need to head to Seirai Island in Inazuma. These fruits can be found along the shoreline of the central island and on the outskirts of the fittingly named Amakumo Peak. Here’s a guide with a map on exactly where to find amakumo fruit in Genshin Impact.
Handguards
Handguards can be obtained by defeating Nobushi and Kairagi enemies in Inazuma. Old Handguards are a common ascension material, dropped by Nobushi, but to acquire the Kageuchi Handguards that you need to fully ascend Raiden Shogun, you need to defeat enemies at level 40 or above. To obtain Famed Handguards, you need to defeat enemies at least level 60.
Storm Beads
Storm Beads drop from Thunder Manifestation, the Electro boss found on Amakumo Peak in Inazuma. You can only fight this boss if you have completed the Seirai Stormchasers questline. Here’s our Genshin Impact Thunder Manifestation boss guide to help you take down this Electro Oceanid.
Molten Moment
To acquire this rare item, you need to defeat the Inazuma enemy, Signora, found on Narukami Island. This is a trounce domain that can only be unlocked by completing the Archon Quest Chapter 2, Act 3: Omnipresence Over Mortals.
Electro ascension materials
The Electro ascension materials: Vajrada Amethyst fragments, slivers, chunks, and gemstones can be obtained by defeating the following weekly and normal bosses.
- Azhdaha
- Dvalin
- Childe
- Coral Defenders
- Electro Hypostasis
- Primo Geovishap
- Thunder Manifestation
You can also use Electro ascension material to craft different variations of Vajrada Amethyst, such as using three slivers to make a fragment.
