Tighnari in Genshin Impact is many things: a forest ranger, a great archer, and a five-star character. But, most importantly, he's one of the first Dendro characters to ever be playable in the game.

Hailing from the Sumeru region, Tighnari was the first pullable five-star Dendro character, making him quite the appealing team member. Additionally, he's now available on the Standard Banner, meaning many players might pull him, even without meaning to. Anyone looking to use him in battle will definitely want to seek out his ascension materials to upgrade his potential, as well as the items needed to level up his talents. All of this, and more, can be found in this guide.

Leveling Materials

Every Genshin Impact character uses a small fortune in Mora alongside 8 million EXP to reach the max level of 90.

Tighnari Ascension Items

Tighnari is one of the first Dendro characters in the game, meaning he was one of the first to need Nagadus

Emerald. This Dendro gemstone can be converted from other elemental gemstones, but earning it outright was not possible before Sumeru was introduced.

Gemstones - Where to Find Nagadus Emerald

Nagadus Emerald, the elemental stone used by Dendro characters to ascend, can be found a few ways, like from the Parametric Transformer. However, most of it will come from defeating bosses. Genshin Impact bosses that can drop Nagadus Emerald include the following:

Jadeplume Terrorshroom
Dendro Hypostasis
The Guardian of Apep's Oasis (The Realm of New Beginnings)

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Fungi Drops

The only item used in Tighnari's ascension that was released before Sumeru are the common enemy drops. The Fungal Spores, Luminescent Pollen, and Crystalline Cyst Dust he needs can all be harvested from Floating Fungi in the Chasm in Liyue.

Of course, these enemies can also be found almost everywhere in Sumeru, where farming these drops may be a bit more convenient and efficient.

The higher the level of the Fungus, the better the materials it can drop:

Any level: Fungal Spores
Level 40+: Luminescent Pollen
Level 60+: Crystalline Cyst Dust

If these Fungi are exposed to Electro or Pyro, they'll drop different materials. Be sure not to expose them to these elements if you're seeking out the drops Tighnari needs — they're elementally-exposed drops cannot be used in his ascension, unfortunately.

Boss Drop - How to Get Majestic Hooked Beak

This boss drop is used by both Tighnari and Collei, the first two Dendro characters introduced to the game. To earn it, players must defeat the Jadeplume Terrorshroom boss, found in Sumeru. It can be found inside a cave to the west of Varanara.

This boss has a very strong resistance to Dendro damage, so it might be wise to leave Tighnari on the bench for this fight!

Local Specialty - Where to Find Nilotpala Lotus

Sumeru is home to many interesting plants, including the Nilotpala Lotus. This is the local specialty Tighnari uses in his ascension.

These bright yellow flowers can be found near bodies of water around Sumeru. Specifically, they're dotted around the edges of riverbanks north and south of Sumeru City, near the Palace of Alcazarzaray, in the river valley south of Vimara Village, and north of the giant Ruin Guard on the Devantaka Mountain.

Tighnari Talent Materials

Tighnari will become more powerful when ascending, but he'll also need to upgrade his talents for maximum combat potential. That'll require the following items and Mora.

Talent Books - Admonition

Sumeru has three talent book series, one of which is the Admonition series. This is the series used by Tighnari when upgrading his talents.

The Admonition books can be found in the Steeple of Ignorance domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Trounce Materials - The Meaning of Aeons

For the trounce material Tighnari's talents use, it's time to head back to Inazuma. This is because Tighnari's trounce drop is the Meaning of Aeons, which can only be obtained by defeating the Shogun.

This battle takes place in the domain called End of the Oneiric Euthymia. To unlock this domain, players must complete the second chapter of the Raiden Shogun's story quest, titled Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter: Act II - Transient Dreams.
