The Hypostyle Desert, part of Sumeru’s vast and lore-rich expanse in Genshin Impact, hides far more than meets the eye. While its surface may seem barren, those who venture beneath will uncover an elaborate network of ruins tied to the ancient King Deshret. Among its many hidden treasures, the desert holds 37 Dendroculus—vital collectibles used to upgrade the Statue of the Seven (Dendro), increasing stamina and unlocking regional rewards.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through every known Dendroculus location in the Hypostyle Desert, including above-ground and underground nodes. Whether you’re an exploration completionist or simply farming for stamina upgrades, this guide will ensure you miss none.

🟢 How to Prepare for Hypostyle Desert Exploration

Before starting your Dendroculus hunt:

• Complete the Golden Slumber and Dual Evidence world quests.

• Max out your Scarlet Sand Slate permissions for full underground access.

• Equip characters with exploration tools (Tighnari for Dendroculus detection, Wanderer for mobility, etc.)

• Use the Four-Leaf Sigil mechanic to reach floating oculi and traverse terrain more efficiently.
