Here's a detailed guide on Oculus Resonance Stones in Genshin Impact:
What are Oculus Resonance Stones?
Oculus Resonance Stones are consumable gadgets designed to help players locate specific types of Oculi (Anemoculus, Geoculus, Electroculus, Dendroculus, Pyroculus, etc.) within their respective regions. Each stone is region-specific and helps in narrowing down the search area for these collectibles, which are crucial for upgrading the Statues of the Seven.
How to Obtain Oculus Resonance Stones
Reputation System:
•Blueprints: You must reach specific levels in the Reputation system of each region to unlock the blueprint for crafting these Resonance Stones:
•Mondstadt: Anemoculus Resonance Stone - Reputation Level 2.
•Liyue: Geoculus Resonance Stone - Reputation Level 2.
•Inazuma: Electroculus Resonance Stone - Reputation Level 8.
•Sumeru: Dendroculus Resonance Stone - Reputation Level 8.
•Natlan: Pyroculus Resonance Stone - Reputation Level 4 with 4 tribes.
Crafting:
Once you have the blueprint, you can craft the stone at any Alchemy Bench with the following materials, which vary by region:
•Anemoculus: 5 Windwheel Aster, 5 Cecilia, 1 Crystal Chunk, 500 Mora.
•Geoculus: 5 Cor Lapis, 5 Glaze Lily, 1 Crystal Chunk, 500 Mora.
•Electroculus: 5 Naku Weed, 5 Sakura Bloom, 1 Amethyst Lump, 500 Mora.
•Dendroculus: Specific materials for Sumeru, often local specialties like Padisarah or Nilotpala Lotus.
•Pyroculus: Materials specific to Natlan, potentially tribal items or unique resources.
How to Use Oculus Resonance Stones
•Equipping: Go to your inventory, under the Gadget tab, and equip the appropriate Resonance Stone.
•Activation: Use the corresponding key or button (usually "Z" on PC or L1/R1 on consoles) to activate the stone. After activation:
•A blue circle will appear on the map showing the approximate area where an Oculus is located.
•A white arrow will guide you vertically (up or down) once you're within range of the Oculus to help pinpoint its exact location.
•Cooldown: There's a 300-second cooldown after each use if an Oculus is found. If no Oculus is detected within range, there's a short 5-second cooldown.
•Consumption: The stone is consumed only if it successfully locates an Oculus. If no Oculus is found nearby, the stone is not used up.
Tips for Using Oculus Resonance Stones: 
•Timing: Use them when you're down to the last few Oculi you need. They're particularly helpful when you've already found most of them via exploration or map guides but are stuck on a few.
•Region-Specific: Remember, each Resonance Stone only works in its designated region. For example, the Anemoculus Resonance Stone won't detect anything in Liyue.
•Exploration Complement: While these stones are helpful, they don't replace the need for exploration. Use them in conjunction with interactive maps or community guides for the best results.
•Save for Last: Since crafting these can be resource-intensive, save their use for when you've exhausted other methods of finding Oculi.
•Bug Awareness: There have been reports of bugs where the Resonance Stones might not update or show new Oculi after you've collected one in the highlighted area. If this happens, moving to another part of the region or using a different Resonance Stone temporarily might help.
Strategic Use
•Efficiency: Use them to save time on the more elusive Oculi, particularly in complex terrain or areas with many vertical layers.
•Co-op: Note that these stones do not work in other players' worlds, so they're strictly for your personal exploration.
Note: In Genshin Impact, Oculus Resonance Stones are invaluable for finishing your collection of Oculus items. Statues of the Seven can be upgraded efficiently, allowing players to gain more rewards and enhance their exploration experiences by reducing time and frustration. Gathering these materials may take a lot of time, so manage your resources wisely. |
