Genshin Impact: Hu Tao’s Ascension Materials and their locations
After more than a year since her last rerun, the 5-star Pyro character Hu Tao has finally returned to Genshin Impact! The 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has recently appeared in-game during the Lantern Rite Festival in Liyue, displaying the antics you must have missed if you’re a Hu Tao fan.
It can be recalled that the Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer OnePlus featured Hu Tao on their OnePlus Ace Pro smartphone last year. She also appeared in Genshin Impact‘s collaboration with Lawson, the popular chain of convenience stores.
It looks like Hu Tao was pretty occupied in 2022, which might explain why she didn’t have a rerun then! But she has now come back in the second phase of Version 3.4, and the heat is on for this popular Pyro character. So, if you’re one of those who have long waited for Hu Tao, we have listed everything you need for her. If you want to build her, you might want to check out our Hu Tao Build Guide here.

On the other hand, if you’re wondering where you can find Hu Tao’s ascension materials, check them out below:
AGNIDUS AGATE GEMS
This group of gems is used for ascending Pyro Characters. You can obtain them primarily by fighting the following Normal Bosses. There are also some Weekly Bosses that drop them.
Weekly Bosses that drop Agnidus Agate | – Beneath the Dragon-Queller – Narukami Island: Tenshukaku – Wolf of the North Challenge |
Normal Bosses that drop Agnidus Agate | – Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network – Primo Geovishap – Pyro Hypostasis – Pyro Regisvine |
If you’re new to the game, you can craft higher rarity gems or convert one gem into another via Alchemy. You can do this by interacting with the crafting benches in the different cities in Teyvat.
JUVENILE JADE
This Character Ascension Material is dropped by the Normal Boss Lv 30+ Primo Geovishap. Therefore, you can hit two birds with one stone (get gems and Juvenile Jade) by fighting this boss. Check out its location below.
SILK FLOWER
This material is a Local Specialty in Liyue and can, therefore, only be found in said region. For more specific locations (including shops that sell Silk Flowers), be sure to check out our Silk Flower Location Guide here.
WHOPPERFLOWER, SHIMMERING, and ENERGY NECTARS
These items are dropped by Whopperflowers all over Teyvat. Suppose you’re running low on these materials and are unsure where to find some Whopperflowers. In that case, you can check the enemy’s location by going to the Paimon Menu > Adventurer Handbook > Enemies > Whopperflower > Navigate.
You can also craft higher rarity Whopperflower drops via Alchemy or get some from the Stardust Exchange.

Hu Tao’s Talent Level-Up Materials
Hu Tao‘s talent “books” or Talent Ascension Materials are the Diligence Books. This set can be obtained by challenging the Taishan Mansion domain on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. This is located near Jueyun Karst in Liyue.
You can also craft higher rarity Diligence books via Alchemy.
Beyond Level 6 of Hu Tao’s Talents, she will need the Talent Level-up Material called Shard of a Foul Legacy, which can be obtained from “Enter the Golden House,” a domain where you can fight the Fatui Harbinger Childe.
That’s all you need to know about Hu Tao’s ascension materials. We wish that all Hu Tao wanters be Hu Tao havers!
