Where to get Sea Ganoderma in Genshin Impact

Yae Miko requires an Inazuman local specialty for Ascension, which is Sea Ganoderma. This unique plant can be found scattered around the ocean shores throughout the Electro region.

The best area to farm lots of Sea Ganoderma for Yae Miko is around the Tatarasuna region and the Kujou Encampment. However, it can also be found in quite a few other areas around Inazuma and a few are even present in Enkanomiya.

Those looking to obtain as much of this material as possible can also buy five more from Obata, who can be found in Ritou, Inazuma. Players can also grow their own Sea Ganoderma in their Serenitea Pot’s Orderly Meadow if they have purchased this asset from Tubby.

Where to get Handguard in Genshin Impact

The Handguard material that players will need a plethora of to ascend Yae Miko comes in three rarity types:

  • Old Handguard: This is the one-star version of the Ascension Material.
  • Kageuchi Handguard: This is the two-star version of the Ascension Material.
  • Famed Handguard: This is the three-star version of the Ascension Material.
