Sumeru Local Materials: Regional Farming Guide

Sumeru features some of the most diverse local specialties in Genshin Impact, divided between rainforest ecosystems and arid desert landscapes. These items are required for character ascension, crafting and certain quest-related upgrades. Because Sumeru’s terrain varies dramatically from dense jungles to steep cliffs and underground ruins, efficient farming requires understanding where each regional material grows and which routes offer the fastest collection.

Nilotpala Lotus

Nilotpala Lotus grows near calm forest waters throughout the rainforest region. These blue lotuses appear at night, making some farming routes easier during in-game evening hours. They are essential for Ascensions of characters such as Tighnari.

Padisarah

Padisarah is one of the rarer Sumeru flowers, found mainly around Sumeru City, Pardis Dhyai and certain palace-like gardens. It grows near ornamental architecture and requires careful pathing. Nilou uses Padisarah as her primary Ascension material.

Rukkhashava Mushrooms

These unique fungi grow on giant trees and in cave systems across the rainforest. Their vertical placement makes them trickier to gather efficiently. They are needed for characters such as Wanderer (Scaramouche) and Collei.

Kalpalata Lotus

Kalpalata Lotus is a climbing plant found on cliff walls throughout the rainforest, especially near cliffs by Mawtiyima Forest and Gandharva Ville. Because they grow high above ground level, gliding routes significantly improve efficiency.

Henna Berries

Henna Berries are exclusive to the desert region of Sumeru. They grow near red-leaf shrubs in arid valleys and rocky plains. They are required for the Ascension of Dehya and other desert characters in the future.

Scarab Beetles

Scarab Beetles are small mechanical-like insects found only in desert ruins, tunnels and abandoned structures linked to ancient King Deshret civilization. Because they do not respawn quickly, cooperative farming or multi-world collection is often used by Cyno players, as he requires large quantities.

Sand Grease Pupa

These chrysalis-like materials are located underground in desert caves and Wenut-infested tunnels. They are needed for ascension of Alhaitham. Efficient farming requires unlocking specific underground pathways and using teleport networks.

Ajilenakh Nuts

These are found on palm-like trees in desert oases. They are primarily used for cooking but also appear in certain Sumeru quests and commissions. Their high visibility makes them easy to collect while traveling between oases.

Trishiraite

A mineral-like specialty obtained in certain desert ruins and rocky interiors. It appears near walls and inside collapsed structures. Faruzan and some desert-themed characters utilize Trishiraite for ascension.

Best Farming Tips

Because Sumeru’s materials are spread across three vertical layers—ground level, treetops and underground—planning routes dramatically improves efficiency. Characters with passive exploration talents such as Tighnari can highlight nearby resources, speeding up collection. Using teleport chains along water zones, cliffs and desert tunnels ensures consistent and fast farming cycles.

Conclusion

Sumeru’s regional materials reflect the nation’s biological diversity and historical depth. From rainforest flowers to desert minerals and ancient beetles, each specialty plays a unique role in character progression. Mastering their locations and optimal routes ensures efficient farming and smooth ascension for the region’s strongest characters.
