Welcome, Traveler, to a comprehensive guide designed to help you conquer one of Genshin Impact’s most persistent exploration challenges: finding those elusive Oculi! Whether it’s Anemoculus, Geoculus, Electroculus, Dendroculus, or Hydroculus, collecting all of them is crucial for upgrading Statues of the Seven, which in turn grants valuable rewards like increased stamina, Primogems, and Adventure EXP. While exploring every nook and cranny of Teyvat can be exhilarating, pinpointing those last few missing Oculi can become a frustrating scavenger hunt. That’s where Oculus Resonance Stones come in.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about these invaluable tools – what they are, how to obtain them, how to use them effectively, and critical tips to ensure you never miss another Oculi again. Let’s dive in and complete those statues!
What Are Oculus Resonance Stones?
Oculus Resonance Stones are special consumable gadgets that, when used, help you pinpoint the location of nearby uncollected Oculi within a specific region. Each region in Teyvat has its own unique Resonance Stone:
- Anemoculus Resonance Stone: For Mondstadt
- Geoculus Resonance Stone: For Liyue
- Electroculus Resonance Stone: For Inazuma
- Dendroculus Resonance Stone: For Sumeru
- Hydroculus Resonance Stone: For Fontaine
When activated, if there’s an uncollected Oculi within a certain radius, a blue (or corresponding elemental color) highlighted area will appear on your mini-map, guiding you to its general vicinity. This takes the guesswork out of searching vast areas and narrows down your hunt significantly, making the tedious task of finding those last few Oculi much more manageable.
How to Get Oculus Resonance Stones
Unlike some other gadgets, Oculus Resonance Stones are not found in chests or dropped by enemies. They must be crafted at a Crafting Bench. However, before you can craft them, you’ll need to unlock their blueprints.
The blueprints for each region’s Oculus Resonance Stone are obtained by reaching specific Reputation Levels in their respective regions:
- Mondstadt: Anemoculus Resonance Stone blueprint at Reputation Level 2
- Liyue: Geoculus Resonance Stone blueprint at Reputation Level 2
- Inazuma: Electroculus Resonance Stone blueprint at Reputation Level 8
- Sumeru: Dendroculus Resonance Stone blueprint at Reputation Level 8
- Fontaine: Hydroculus Resonance Stone blueprint at Reputation Level 8
Once you have the blueprint, you can visit any Crafting Bench in Teyvat. Each Resonance Stone requires specific materials that are generally local specialties or common monster drops from that region. For example, an Anemoculus Resonance Stone requires materials found in Mondstadt.
Tip: Focus on completing Bounties and Requests from the Reputation Board in each major city to quickly raise your Reputation Level and unlock these essential blueprints.
How to Use Oculus Resonance Stones
Using an Oculus Resonance Stone is straightforward but requires a bit of strategy to maximize its effectiveness.
- Equip the Stone: Open your Inventory, navigate to the Gadgets tab, and equip the correct Resonance Stone for the region you are currently in.
- Activate: Once equipped, you can activate the stone (usually by pressing ‘Z’ on PC, or tapping the gadget icon on mobile/console).
- Check the Mini-Map: If there is an uncollected Oculi nearby, a large elemental-colored circle will appear on your mini-map, indicating the Oculi’s general direction.
- Navigate and Search: Head towards the highlighted area on your mini-map. Once inside the circle, the Oculi will often be visible, though it might be hidden in a tricky spot (e.g., high in the air, under a rock, or behind a puzzle).
- Cooldown: Each Resonance Stone has a cooldown period after use (typically 300 seconds or 5 minutes), regardless of whether it found an Oculi or not.
Important: The stone only detects Oculi within a certain range. If no circle appears, it means there are no uncollected Oculi within its current detection radius. You’ll need to move to a different area and try again.
Player Tips for Maximizing Oculus Resonance Stones
To get the most out of your Resonance Stones and find those last few pesky Oculi efficiently, keep these player-tested tips in mind:
- Regional Focus: Only use the Resonance Stone for the specific region you are exploring. Using an Anemoculus Resonance Stone in Liyue, for example, will yield no results.
- Section by Section: Don’t just spam the stone randomly. Divide the region into smaller, manageable sections (e.g., using natural boundaries like rivers, mountains, or distinct sub-regions on the map). Clear one section completely before moving to the next.
- High Vantage Points: Before using a stone, try to get to a high vantage point in the area. This can sometimes give you a better overview of the detection circle and help you spot the Oculi more easily once it’s revealed.
- Interactive Maps are Your Friend (Initially): While Resonance Stones are great for the last few, using a Teyvat Interactive Map (like the one on HoYoLAB) at the beginning of your Oculi hunt can help you find the majority of them more quickly and identify general clusters before you start crafting stones. Use the map to mark what you’ve found, and then deploy Resonance Stones for the stragglers.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even with the right tools, it’s easy to fall into common traps when hunting Oculi. Avoiding these mistakes will save you time and frustration:
- Forgetting to Equip: A surprisingly common error! Ensure you’ve actually equipped the Resonance Stone from your gadget inventory before attempting to use it.
- Using the Wrong Stone: Make sure the Resonance Stone matches the region you are currently in (e.g., Electroculus Stone for Inazuma).
- Ignoring the Cooldown: Each stone has a cooldown. Don’t waste materials crafting multiple stones if your current one is simply on cooldown; wait for it to refresh.
- Searching Too Broadly: If the stone reveals a large circle, don’t just wander aimlessly. Pinpoint the center of the circle on your map and methodically search outwards, or try to get above the center.
- Not Checking Verticality: Oculi are often found in the air, under structures, or hidden on cliffs. Remember to look up, down, and inside caves or buildings.
- Not Accounting for Puzzles/Mechanics: Some Oculi are locked behind simple puzzles, elemental sigils, or require specific character abilities (like Geo Traveler’s constructs or Kazuha’s skill) to reach.
Why Use Oculus Resonance Stones?
You might wonder why you should bother crafting and using these stones when interactive maps exist. Here’s why they are invaluable, especially for dedicated completionists:
- Precision for the Last Few: While interactive maps show all possible locations, you still have to manually verify each one. When you’re missing just a few Oculi in a vast region, the Resonance Stone drastically narrows down the search area, saving you hours of aimless wandering.
- Confirming Missing Oculi: If an interactive map shows you’ve collected all Oculi in a specific area but your Statue of the Seven isn’t maxed, a Resonance Stone can confirm if you genuinely missed one or if there’s a map discrepancy.
- Organic Exploration: For players who prefer a less guided experience, Resonance Stones offer a hint without revealing the exact location, allowing for a more organic “discovery” feel while still being efficient.
- Resource Return: Maxing out your Statues of the Seven provides substantial rewards, including valuable Primogems (a premium currency!), increased stamina (which is critical for exploration and combat), and Adventure EXP, making the investment in crafting these stones well worth it.
