To maximize Sayu’s potential, players need to collect the right Ascension and Talent materials. This guide breaks down everything you need to level up Sayu efficiently, including materials, locations, and farming strategies.

Where to Find Sayu’s Ascension Materials
🌀 Vayuda Turquoise (Anemo Ascension Gemstone)
Dropped by:
✅ Anemo Hypostasis (Mondstadt)
✅ Maguu Kenki (Inazuma)
✅ Setekh Wenut (Sumeru)
✅ Stormterror (Dvalin Weekly Boss)
💡 Pro Tip: The fastest way to farm Vayuda Turquoise is by defeating Maguu Kenki in Inazuma, as this boss also drops Marionette Cores, which Sayu needs.
⚙️ Marionette Core (Boss Drop)
Dropped by:
✅ Maguu Kenki – Found on Yashiori Island, Inazuma
🔹 How to farm efficiently:
- Maguu Kenki respawns every 5 minutes, so teleport to a different region and return.

🔹 Crystal Marrow (Inazuma Local Specialty)
Locations:
📍 Yashiori Island – Found near Orobashi’s bones
📍 Tatarasuna – Near Mikage Furnace

🧪 Whopperflower Drops (Enemy Material)
Dropped by:
✅ Pyro, Cryo, & Electro Whopperflowers (All regions)
💡 Best farming method:
