The Challenge That Actually Makes Me Quit?? [Genshin Impact Swords Only]

[@flurl6318]

Moosashi with his traveller only serie managed to charge attack the green things by timing the geo mc boulder expiration with a charge attack

moosashi actually did this with only aether on the traveler only series!! they found that by placing starfell sword a very specific way and waiting for it to expire, you can do a “falling charge attack”

[@carissa5977]

This is exactly what I was thinking.

[@sillygoose-8008]

lets try to get this to the top comment!

[@eyelafd]

moosashi is such an underrated channel omg

[@MrGshinobi]

15:45 ok so i can explain, Ayaka's charged attack has a special property where it will track a target near Ayaka at the start of the attack animation, so even if Ayaka's position changes throughout the attack it will hit that initial target once it's been locked onto it, so that's what happened there and why Ayaka was able to hit the dendro target from afar

[@shireenrazak7160]

The whole time i was just wondering if ayaka ca could hit it since it homes(?) in.

[@goforbabs]

As soon as you asked "are mushrooms a vegetable?" I laughed out loud bc I've also gone down that Google wormhole of fungi classification

[@lybasily]

lmaooo😭

[@meepmorp4879]

You could've gotten the sword as early as 6:08 in this vid -- all you need is to be able to access the aranara tree which unlocks after finishing part 1, and there's an NPC (named Aravinay) next to it that sells the blueprints. Finishing part 1 should've given you the currency needed to buy 1 blueprint. You should have a world quest (called "Trees and Dreams") in your quest log that leads you to the tree. It's in a cave next to the statue of the seven in vanarana. At 6:00, you can see some of the yellow grapple thingies to the top right above Ayato - those lead directly to the tree and the NPC who sells the blueprints.

[@DaniDelightfulDesigns]

I made the same mistake, I finished the whole godforsaken quest before realizing I could get the sword Also I didn’t know how to switch into the “dream”, so I looked up guides and NONE OF THEM TOLD ME I HAD TO ENTER THE DREAM TO GET THE MERCHANT TO SHOW UP

[@-hazedot-5450]

Technically, you can already collect the weapon. There is an aranara next to the tree of dreams, then you exchange a paper that you should've collected already with the recipe for the sapwood blade. I'm sorry if this doesn't make too much sense

[@glam4663]

Java still needs to get to Vananara.

[@ciciamanda.]

@@glam4663 he has already unlocked Vanarana, you can see that because he has the quest "rythm that leads to the gloomy path" active. To unlock vanarana, and unlock the "quest" that unlocks the tree of dreams, you only need to finish "The world of Aranara" which comes before "Rythm that leads to the gloomy path"

[@dagnyrainbow792]

You can actually get to the tree without even unlocking Vanarana

[@loif93]

I knew Ayaka's charged attacks adjust their height automatically when there's a target nearby. I found out when I forgot to bring a ranged character to the Oceanid and it spawned its birds.

[@bored_x]

As someone who completed this quest months ago and knows about all the puzzles, I understand that you did not know but i got physical, mental and emotional damage trying to see you do this.

[@lainverse]

6:08 Not during the quesline, but when it got to locating 64 of those all over the map for that room of chests... 8:31 Those flowers in odd places shooting at you are always optional. Every withering zone contains 3 long flower buds linked to the middle of the zone and that's all you need to destroy to destroy the middle and the zone with it. And you can see links from the middle pointing where those 3 long flower buds actually are.

[@ericyang1401]

YES. THANK YOU. I WANTED TO SCREAM WHEN HE WAS LIKE "oh its optional" LIKE CMON THIS IS WHY YOU READ

[@lainverse]

@@ericyang1401 Nah, I rarely ever do and figured that in the first or second fight. I mean, middle pointing in 3 directions and there's something at the end. Whatever that might be? That still didn't stop me from picking the wrong ones first after I figured that out just because I can. Here that's just not a an option. At least not a fun one.

[@riverhurdle8216]

Wait something is challenging the guy who did the archery challenge with swordsmen? Now that's something interesting and worth seeing

[@atomicgrave4340]

Just use geo-mc, you can place the construct right on top of the ring. Then when the construct is about to disappear you need to use charged attack. It's all about timings, but it's doable. DON'T GIVE UP!!!

[@odiyellow567]

Ayaka's aoe on charged attacks is actually enough to hit the ring when just standing on the constact attched to it, so there's no need to time it perfectly on geo mc. And it's really easy to do, i tested it and got it first try. The hardest part was to get on top of the construct

[@atomicgrave4340]

@@odiyellow567 i didn't test it, so i don't know the details, i just saw people doing it. Also i never pulled for Ayaka, so i dunno how she works. I do catalyst challenge for fun, and i had to wait for Scara in order to pass this obstacle and it was barely enough to reach it. So yeah, this challenge can be a bit annoying.

[@ej4346]

Let's give credit to the man who actually did it, Mooshashi.

[@pretzel9093]

It's always surprising to me how few people know the classification of mushrooms? I promise they're fun guys, it's a shame they're so misunderstood.

[@DefenderOfJustice707]

In withering zones you don't have to cleanse the short ball like thingies just 3 near the center that also have a more root like structure and have a red aura like trail that goes to the big center thingy.

[@BlueCrystalAnimatez]

the fact that you already would be able to unlock the sword before you did that part of the quest 😭😭

[@SHAdow98V]

I'm pretty sure Ayaka's charged attack while it looks like normal slashes in front of her if there is a target that the attack can auto aim lock onto then it will hit it pretty high,the only sword character that can deal with annoying flying enemies like some of those flying mushrooms that literally do nothing in Abyss other than flying around to waste your time so Ayaka's charged attack was a 100% sure win. By the way the blueprints are sold to you by an aranara(one of the two) next to the tree of Sumeru in the aranara village but idk when exactly during the quest it actually unlocks,it may be unlocked as the village is or it may be unlocked at the end of the questline. Moosashi completed this whole thing only using the Traveler so it is possible tho it costs sanity.

[@zordon17]

So we're all gonna act like he couldn't just grab the sapwood blade when he unlocked vanarana and instead watch him suffer for 4 hours just for him to not get it anyway

[@judi9522]

Ayaka worked because her charge attack has a kind of homing effect which locks onto the target!

[@screech4505]

So glad everyone is suggesting Moosashi’s videos. Even if Java goes and gets the blueprint like he can already do at the tree of dreams, I hope he tries to do some of the ring challenges with the Starfell sword method.

[@yin-yang2292]

lets appreciate how much time this man has given into genshin

[@lanneta3974]

At ~ 14:45 you could've put geo lumine construct right onto the thing you need to hit. Then you have to get to it and you can stand on it. Then you can use any charged attack in range to activate it. I saw it in Noblies video, when he tried this domain with his claymore only team.

[@Bakachicki]

At first I hated the quest line, but it has grown on me. Especially the end with the first golden Nara plottwist

[@villeurd]

[@animaetz]

5:00 renai circulation 😂

[@toab77]

Hey Java, you can place the traveller's starfell sword boulder directly on the ring. Do that and use Kazuha/Albedo to get ontop of it. Time your charge atk with the expiration of the starfell sword boulder and hit the ring with a charge atk while falling. Easy as that :p

[@ItsOkayToBeThis]

YAY! I just finished this entire quest for the third time on my 5th account. Congratulations 🎊👏🏼 And yes the first time I did it I actually screamed near the end.

[@loly42069]

That renai circulation was soo good

[@KingTaltia]

BTW; Ayaka's Charged attacks have auto-aim. They're more like a projectile than a normal charged attack, however the important thing I learned today is that they auto-aim onto the targets!

[@ShuichiSaiharasAhoge]

I'm pretty sure you can get Sapwood Blade by doing the other parts of the Aranara quest. For example, there's a side quest (I think it starts at the cooking pot near the first statue of the seven in Sumeru) that ended up giving me a material to exchange for the recipie for Sapwood Blade. (Also, I belive the quest is entirely in the overworld so it should be MUCH easier to complete) Not sure if this works for the other Aranara side quests, but it's definetly a much easier alternative. I hope this helps!

[@ciciamanda.]

you also get two "stories" when completing the quest that lets you unlock the tree, so you'll already have two of them when you unlock it :)

[@blitcyouu]

you can actually place travelers geo construct on the thing and if you get the right placement you can charge attack on it-............

You don't have to do that specific part of the quest if you do another one like the cooking one you could get a story and you can exchange that at an aranara near the tree of vanarana for the sapwood blade.

[@ehrerik3786]

Ayaka's charge attack just like Raiden's when she's in burst state ; target and actually hit around the enemy targeted, that's why they can hit inside Venti burst for exemple.

as for the puzzle around 9:00 I think, a youtuber named Moosashi once completed it with only Geo Traveler. so, it is possible with Only Swords. edit: or as I was also initially thinking, albedo + ayaka charge, since it has a massive AOE and auto-target edit again: as for the last puzzle, Moosashi also managed to do it!

yeah people complaining about genshins quests tickle me, because genshin is primarily built around quests and exploration yet people get pissy when they "have to" do something that isnt combat.

[@zayaV]

​@@ciciamanda. its amazing bc genshin players love complaining that the game doesnt have content, but when the game does have content that r quests, its now "boring." ofc i do want endgame content thats not just spiral abyss, but its extremely hypocritical to say this game doesnt have lore nd content when aranyaka and the desert quest exist

[@ciciamanda.]

@@zayaV yes oh my god! and when the same people who 100% a new area as fast as humanly possible complain about how theres nothing to do. Like my man, there were things to do but you speedran it - thats on you. I also find it pretty goofy that when they say end game content they're only referring to combat-content. Both the teapot and tcg are endgame content, but they pay those no mind, they just wanna beat shit up (which honestly i understand, but its silly that they act like endgame content only means combat) And people who complain that theres nothing to do and then complain about "having to" do events lol

You actually dont need to do that domain to get the blueprint of Sapwood blade... Just unlock the Aranara village right after you spoke to them go to the tree thing where you exchange dendro sigil and there is a Aranara there who will exchange you the Blueprint...!!!

[@CloudyTao]

You don’t need to do all of this as soon as you unlock the tree of dreams (which I THINK you’ve unlocked??) the Aranara next to the tree of dreams gives u the blueprint!! :D

[@its_secret5375]

btw for that dendro ring puzzle in the domain.. you are extremely confused cause for some reason only a select content creators read even tiny bit on the pop ups that show for new things that unlock.. the dendro rings only need to be hit by a dendrogranum or a dendro attack.. (not necessarily charged attack) to be activated.. there are some dendro rings that are locked behind only being activated through dendro granum.. just like those ones in the domain.. dendrogranum require a charge attack to be activated and sent out to the attack hit location.. so yes you need to hit it with a charged attack.. as to how.. you should watch mooshashi's traveller only series.. where he broke into a few domains and quests waaaayy ahead of time and did them with only geo traveller(he did a imposed challenge on top of being traveller only that he cant use dendro traveller).. how he did it.. is he stuck a geo contruct at bottom of one.. stood on top and did a charged attack perfect timed to hit the ring while falling down.. tho since the rings are moving.. you might have to try the second method he did.. disconnecting and reconnecting to phase through barriers.. there are some barriers that can't be phased but maybe this one can be.. i will edit to provide link to the video

[@its_secret5375]

God I typed so much when I know you won't see it..

[@its_secret5375]

now i feel even stupider cause i just resumed the video after being annoyed at you not knowing what dendro rings even are.. and you already did it and i wrote so much..

[@snicksss]

You know it's bad when Java actually quits. Seriously though I think 90% of other youtubers would give up and just use a bow character yet you will just spend hours using your creativity trying to come up with a way you can do it without doing it the conventional and easy way. This is why I watch you. You are severely underrated for the sheer amount of dedication you put into these accounts.

Yeah prepare to need a lot of Dendro and/or bow characters in Sumeru. Dendro MC is your best friend for most Dendro needs (just be careful with Pyro like Benny), and Geo MC is decent to bypass bow puzzles to some extent.

It was interesting the first time I played, but for the second time the feeling of novelty is completely gone but all the boring dialogues are still in place. When I thought of completing lantern rite on both accounts, I just ditched this thought right at the beginning. Ain’t no way I’d do that again.
