Why Collect Geoculus in Minlin?
- Increase Stamina: Upgrading Liyue’s Statue of the Seven boosts your stamina cap, crucial for climbing, gliding, and sprinting.
- Earn Primogems & Rewards: Turning in Geoculi grants Adventure EXP, Primogems, and Sigils, which can be traded for valuable items.
- Unlock Exploration Progress: 100% completion in Minlin adds to your Liyue exploration percentage, useful for achievement hunters.
How to Prepare for Minlin’s Geoculus Hunt
Minlin’s vertical terrain makes it one of the hardest areas to fully explore. Here’s what you should bring:
✔ Stamina Food: Lotus Seed Soup or Northern Smoked Chicken to help with long climbs.
✔ Geo Traveler or Zhongli: Create platforms to reach hard-to-climb spots.
✔ Venti, Wanderer, or Kazuha: Updrafts or floating abilities make collecting aerial Geoculi easier.
✔ Treasure Compass: The Geoculus Resonance Stone (crafted in Liyue) helps track down any missing ones.
