Where to Find Sayu’s Ascension and Talent Materials

Gemstones – Where to Find Vayuda Turquoise

The Vayuda Turquoise is an elemental gem essential for all Anemo characters. It can be primarily obtained through defeating bosses and in trounce challenges. Notable sources include:

  • Anemo Hypostasis
  • Maguu Kenki
  • Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network
  • Setekh Wenut
  • Icewind Suite – Coppelia
  • Solitary Suanni
  • Dark Papilla
  • Dvalin (Confront Stormterror)
  • Scaramouche (Joururi Workshop)

For additional methods to acquire Vayuda Turquoise, please refer to the complete guide.

Enemy Drop – Where to Find Whopperflower Nectar

Whopperflowers are abundant across Teyvat. If you encounter challenges, check the “Enemies”section of your Adventurer Handbook for locations.

The higher the level of the Whopperflower, the more valuable its drops are, as follows:

Enemy Level Possible Drops Any Whopperflower Nectar 40+ Shimmering Nectar 60+ Energy Nectar

Consider various farming routes for collecting Whopperflowers efficiently.

Boss Drop – How to Get Marionette Core

Marionette Cores are necessary for both Sayu and Kazuha’s ascensions. This unique item drops from the Maguu Kenki, located on Yashiori Island in Inazuma. Be prepared to spend 40 Resin after defeating this formidable opponent. Completing the Orobashi’s Legacy questline is advisable before attempting the fight, given the severe weather conditions that may complicate it.

Local Specialty – Where to Find Crystal Marrow

Crystal Marrow, an ore formed from Tatarigami energy, can be found around Orobashi’s bones on Yashiori Island and occasionally near the Mikage Furnace in Tatarasuna. Unfortunately, this item is not sold in any shops, requiring players to collect it directly from the wild.

Talent Books – Light

Sayu’s talent books, part of the Light series, can be obtained primarily by clearing the Violet Court domain on specific days: Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Trounce Materials – Gilded Scale

Despite her Inazuma origins, Sayu requires a Liyue trounce material for ascension: the Gilded Scale from Azhdaha. Other drops from Azhdaha, including the Bloodjade Branch and the Dragon Lord’s Crown, can be converted into Gilded Scales at a crafting bench using Dream Solvent.
