Back to All Characters

At long last, the Natlan region has arrived in Genshin Impact, and to introduce it, players will meet local guide Mualani. In addition to her skills as a sightseeing pro, Mualani is also the first playable five-star from the Nation of Pyro. As a Hydro catalyst user, and a member of the Meztli tribe, Mualani rides on her trusty friend Sharky to skim across the water and battle enemies in combat.

Players who add Mualani and Sharky to their team will want to collect the needed materials for the Hydro user's ascension and talent upgrades. All of those items, as well as how to obtain them, will be outlined in this guide.

Mualani Leveling Materials

From the beginning of the Traveler's journey up until the sixth nation on their trek, Natlan, every playable character they've met will use the same amount of EXP to reach level 90. Mualani is no different! Here's how much is needed between each ascension level:

Mualani will need quite a few items from around Natlan, so it's a good thing that she's such a good guide to the area.

Gemstones - Where to Find Varunada Lazurite

This blue gemstone is used by every Hydro character in the game for their ascension. To find it, Traveler's can complete their daily commissions, convert it from other gems, or use a variety of other methods outlined in this guide:

RELATED: Genshin Impact: Where To Get Varunada Lazurite

However, the vast majority of Varunada Lazurite is sourced from boss fights. These bosses are capable of dropping it:

*Both the Primo Geovishap and Azhdaha can only drop Varunada Lazurite when they are infused with Hydro.

Local Specialty - Where to Find Sprayfeather Gill

The local specialty of Natlan that Mualani uses will require her to visit home, as it's found near the Meztli tribe, in shallow waters all around the area. It's also dotted around Toyac Springs. She'll need a whopping 168 pieces of this plant to ascend all the way up to her max level.

Boss Drop - How to Get Mark of the Binding Blessing

During their first few days in Natlan, player swill want to remember to challenge certain bosses so they can earn the items needed to ascend new characters. For Mualani, this is the Goldflame Qucusaur Tyrant, which drops the Mark of the Binding Blessing when defeated. She'll need this item to ascend. Find it only in Natlan, and be sure to bring characters that can cause elemental reactions with Pyro, like Mualani herself.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Sauroform Tribal Warrior Whistles

Natlan's resident human faction of enemies are the Sauroform Tribal Warriors. There are many different classes of these warriors, but they all have the same drops — whistles. These are the enemy item needed in Mualani's ascension.

At higher levels, Sauroform Warriors can drop better and better items:

Talent Books - Contention

The talent series Mualani's talent upgrades require is Contention. These books are obtained from Natlan's talent domain, Blazing Ruins, on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

Trounce Materials - Lightless Mass

Venturing back to Fontaine is a must for upgrading Mualani's talents to their highest levels. This is because she uses the Lightless Mass, which drops from the All-Devouring Narwhal fight inside the Shadow of Another World trounce domain. This domain is unlocked after clearing the Archon Quest titled "Finale," in Chapter IV: Act V - Masquerade of the Guilty.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
