Take a trip around Sumeru’s rainforest and gather up all your Nahida materials in Genshin Impact. The process is a bit easier thanks to her unique talents.

Nahida needs a cliff-growing flower, but her skill lets you take a snapshot of distant items and collect them without having to be near. She also needs plenty of spores, so make sure to steer clear of Electro and Pyro when you’re out hunting mushrooms.

Nahida materials for ascension

Nahida uses a handful of items you’ve probably run across frequently in the Sumeru rainforest.

Nagadus Emerald Dendro gemstones come from the Dendro Hypostasis and Jadeplume Terrorshroom normal bosses. No weekly boss drops Dendro stones (not yet, at least).

Spores and Pollen come from the mushroom enemies you find in the rainforest and desert, but there’s a catch. If you defeat a fungi after using Electro or Pyro on them, they drop Fungal Nucleus. Use Hydro, Dendro, Cryo, Geo, or Anemo to defeat them and collect your spores. You can also exchange Stardust for spores in the Paimon’s Bargains tab of the in-game shop.

Kalpalata Lotus grows on cliff faces in certain parts of the rainforest. Our Kalapalata Lotus locations guide lists where to find them all.

Quelled Creeper is Nahida’s boss drop item, and it comes from the Dendro Hypostasis on the edge of the rainforest.

Nahida talent materials

Nahida needs even more spores for her talents, so expect plenty of fungal fights on the road to level 10.

Ingenuity books come from the Steeple of Ignorance Domain in Sumeru on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. The Scaramouche weekly boss may drop Puppet Strings , though if you get something else from him, you can transmute it into the strings at an alchemy table.

Nahida talent materials total

If you want to fully level one of Nahida’s talents, it’ll cost:

  • 1 Crown of Insight
  • 3 Teachings of Ingenuity
  • 6 Fungal Spores
  • 6 Puppet Strings
  • 21 Guide to Ingenuity
  • 22 Luminescent Pollen
  • 31 Crystalline Cyst
  • 38 Philosophies of Ingenuity
  • 1,652,500 Mora

That’s a lot of items, and what with Crowns of Insight being particularly rare, we recommend focusing on getting one or two of Nahida’s talents to level 10 instead of maxing them all out. Her skill is the most important talent, followed by her burst.
