Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl is one of the limited events in Genshin Impact Version 5.3, where you take on a beetle battle challenge, as the name suggests. There are five battles in total, and in this guide, I’ll show you how to complete them easily.
To participate in this event, you need to meet the following requirements:
It’s not a requirement, but you will get the context behind the story of the event if you complete Xianyun’s Story Quest “Grus Serena Chapter.” Shuyu is a character that appears in that Story Quest.
The concept of the event is straightforward: you use an Onikabuto beetle in a simulated battle (inside a Teapot at Mt. Aocang) against overworld enemies. As part of the lore of Genshin Impact, battling beetles is a pastime for many children, and that’s what you’re basically doing in this event.
The controls are easy — Forward, Back, and Jump. That’s all you’ll need to fight with your Onikabuto. However, timing is crucial, and you’ll need to manage stamina carefully. Your Onikabuto uses stamina whenever it moves, and even more when you hold a direction to cover more distance or perform a stronger attack like Piercing Strike.
Below are the opponents you will encounter in each of the five stages and how to play them.

Use Focused Fight difficulty (the one with two stars). This makes the most sense because you also get an additional 30 and 20 Primogems (depending on the stage) for clearing stages on this difficulty.
Utmost Might is the three-star difficulty, and you can unlock it after clearing Focused Fight. But this doesn’t give you any Primogems. Instead, you’ll earn Mora and Enhancement Ores. Also, be ready to use Piercing Strikes (by holding down the attack button) in certain stages to make it through.
Each stage’s enemy behaves differently. If you’re not sure how to deal with an enemy, simply click on the “Dossier on Opponent” to get the basics of how they work.
There’s also a co-op mode in this event. Just hit “Match” before you begin a stage, and you’ll be paired with other players to team up and defeat the enemies together.
You can earn a total of 420 Primogems from this event if you play on the Utmost Might difficulty. Other rewards include the usual stuff like Hero’s Wit, Sanctifying Unction, Mora, and Mystic Enhancement Ore.
The Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl event will end on January 13, 2025, at 03:59 Genshin Impact server time. So, get those enemies knocked out with your beetle because those Primogems aren’t going to collect themselves!
