The Inazuma region is filled with abundant local specialties, which can be found in the wild, from various NPCs, or when visiting shops and vendors. These items serve multiple purposes, from cooking and crafting, and, for a few characters, can be utilized for ascension.

The Onikabuto is one of these local specialties; however, its docile and idle characteristics make it one of the rare creatures in Inazuma. This guide will detail how to use the Onikabuto best and locate them in Genshin Impact.

19th January 2023 Update: The Genshin Impact 3.4 update will include a brand-new event,  Almighty Arataki Extraordinary and Exciting Extreme Beetle Brawl, which have you control an Onikabuto with unique abilities to face off against other Onikabuto. Event start and end dates have yet to be announced by HoYoverse.

Where To Find Onikabuto In Genshin Impact?

The Onikabuto are particularly challenging to find in Genshin Impact because they tend to stick to rocks and trees; they also can’t be shaken or knocked down, nor do they flee. They can also be spotted crawling around bushes, but a few can be seen in plain sight.

Being an Inazuman local specialty, they’re most commonly found on its four islands: Kannazuka, Narukami, Seirai, and Yashiori. In addition, places with high Electro concentrations, like Mikage Furnace and Mt. Yougou, are also home to an abundance of Onikabuto.

Likewise, an Inazuman NPC, Shouta, can grant you four Onikabuto speaking to him for the first time. Lastly, you can receive ten Onikabuto via the in-game Mail on Shikanoin Heizou’s birthday on 24th July.

When farming Onikabuto, it’s important to note that they respawn every 48 hours after they’ve been collected. As they cannot be purchased from shops in Genshin Impact, you’ll need to remain patient and wait out the respawn rate before returning to these farming locations to collect more Onikabuto.

How To Use Onikabuto In Genshin Impact?

Since it’s a local specialty of the Inazuma region, this purple-hued beetle has very few purposes that can be utilized in-game. Firstly, Onikabuto can be used for crafting the Electro Treasure Compass item, which is incredibly beneficial when locating chests in Inazuma and the Enkanomiya area; however, a Reputation Level of 9 is required to obtain the item’s blueprint.

Secondly, the Onikabuto is best known as a Character Ascension Material for two characters currently in Genshin Impact. The Geo claymore wielder, Arataki Itto, and the Anemo catalyst user Shikanoin Heizou utilized this item as both require 168 Onikabuto to ascend to max levels.
