Where was this exactly?Wanted to post these two side by side bc I can't tell if the tree is growing or not. Either way, every day you get a prompt to play it a song, so I've been visiting when I remember and playing it the hottest in Aranara jamz. Hope there's a cool conclusion to this quest.
Does it gives an achievement?
I can't remember honestly. I think so, one of the "of the world" achievements in that first category. There's also one from climbing the highest branch in Sumeru and standing there for a second.
Were you hoping for Aranara shards to pop out and follow you around going "GOLDEN NARA AND WHITE FLOATY"?Dammit.
TBH I don't dislike the tree cutting gadget. I dislike the lack of quick gadget equip system.
Tree gadget would have been a lot better with a 6 second cooldown or a huge range. Just like the flying gadget would be decent if you could, you know, use it in the air.

I'm ok with the loading bar.
I played with controller recently due to hand injuries, and I believe a menu popped up when I held LB + B. I assumed you could put other gadgets in there, but didn't know how.
I also play on PC with a controller, and yea other than LB + X (i think it's X, haven't played with an Xbox controller in a while) being mapped to traversal things like the dendro seed vine things and the electrogatana things, we still have LB+Y and LB+A we could use.
I don't think you can. Early on, I assumed that we would eventually be able to map more gadgets when they became available, but no luck so far.
A few pages ago I posted a leak that says the traversal mechanics were all supposed to be regional gadgets, at the start of the game. So like Mondstadt was the glider, Liyue would have been steps or boulders or something, Sumeru was the vines, etc. The placement and reservations of buttons makes more sense when you view it through that lens. I wish that's how it still was, tbh. Let me decide if I want to focus on traversal or farming gadgets, treasure finders, etc.
You fought Pyro one? I got an Electro one. Is it random from the 3?We're going to fight him on top of the tree in Sumeru, or a building that looks very much like a Sumeru building on the roof. There will be the Akasha Engine 2.0 that will spew out blocks that we use in a combination puzzle/battle to make him weakened so we can lay into him. Nothing to do with the tree sadly.
Highlighted telepoint is the closest then just run toward the green lights., or the center of the area if yours isn't growing back yet. I also did an un-tracked quest on the surface of this area that might be connected to the regrowing stuff, you have to kill 7 or 8 abyss mages scattered around Old Vanarana and then fight a Pyro Lector at the Statue of the Seven in this zone.
Interesting, must be. I definitely fought a Pyro one since Kokomi took down his shielded phase almost all by herself.
Leaks a couple days ago said 3.2, but who knows. 3.1 was fairly leaked dry since we had beta players in there for about a month now, so 3.2 or 3.3 seems likely.
Hope they give us more 50% off resin fights since we'll be up to 7 with this one. Hell, just make all the weeklies 30 resin or resin-free permanently. It's not like they can be farmed repeatedly.
Agreed, time and resin-gating the weekly bosses is lame and ideally they wouldn't require resin. As for a compromise, I could go for: First 3 weekly bosses have no resin cost, then 30 per weekly boss after that.
It's really annoying because this is one of the contents that I actually do multiplayer with my real-life friends every week, but we've had to break it up over two days because of the resin regen/limits. And that's with us each using the teapot fragile resin for the 6th boss since you can't get a full 180 to do all 3 bosses in a row normally since the cap is fucking 160 and the bosses are 60 a piece. Otherwise we'd have to try to find 3 separate times per week that we're all available at the same time to run through these bosses. It's pointless when like I mentioned, you can't abuse farming these bosses.
That's the two sided coin known as RNG. I know it's not much, but if you're leveling up the Sumeru tree, there are a few pink wishes obtainable through there. Maybe for a last minute hail mary?
Still better than Azdaha, but yeah, I agree. That shield is a stupid idea, takes too much time to kill a boss needed for farming.
Technically you CAN kill her before she shields up. You just have to have a few things fall into place for that to happen.
Yes, she seems to constantly accumulate energy for her shield form, even if you avoid her attacks. I messed with this awhile ago, to see if I could beat her without triggering her other form. I think she'll have enough energy to switch forms after around 1:20 to 1:40 assuming you are able to dodge her attacks.
crumbs
mentioned, she can basically build up shield bar regardless of her hitting you. Also, being stunned means nothing when she can instantlly counter-attacks or after that phase where she summons thunder strikes to hit you wherever you go. She is without a doubt one of those overload kit type of characters(reminds me of League of Legends with characters having a lot of skills with multiples effects and passives at same time).
I get what you're saying, but you don't need mega big dick damage with perfect artifacts to beat her in the way I described. You just need to know what to do/when to do it and have a bit of luck on your side. When I said high burst damage, I just mean a character with front-loaded/short window big damage opposed to Damage over Time or back loaded. That's a realistic player's strategy to beating her before she shields. That's why I like her boss, it's balanced in a way that you can beat her before she shields if you are knowledgeable about the fight and skilled enough to pull it off, and hit a minimum damage amount to be able to do it. It's a boss that's different for all skill/investment levels, and you can actually notice when you're doing well and when your teams/characters have grown.And by that you already know whats wrong with abusive designs like the Shogun.
If a boss needs "high damage" flag rather than a player being skilled or learn its behaviour, then you know the guy behind it never even bother to test or are just in for some gatcha bullshit.
Like
I hope whoever designed her never touched Genshin Impact. Nothing good will come with bosses like that which are mindless high damage checks or shield checks. Shields, like high damage, are supposed to be an advantage, not a necessity.
Stop.
Yes.
I wasn't saying that skipping all of the mechanics is the way to beat her before she shields, I was saying that it's possible for normal players to do if you DON'T ignore the mechanics and put the effort in.
