Barbara isn't just one of the best healers in Genshin Impact, she's also a free character, meaning many players may want to level her up and improve her talents. This charming young woman is the deaconess of the Church of Favonius, and she wields a Hydro Vision that she uses to heal the party.

Those hoping to ascend Barbara, especially since she's recruited for free, will need the following items and Mora.

Gemstones - Where to Find Varunada Lazurite

a narrow image strip with the Hydro symbol and Varunada Lazurite symbols - Genshin impact

There aren't very many Hydro characters in Genshin Impact, meaning there are fewer to split Varunada Lazurite amongst. However, it's also only dropped by a few bosses, meaning it's not as easy to come across as some of the other elemental gems.

Here's which bosses and trounce challenges can reward Lazurite:

*Both the Primo Geovishap and Azhdaha can only drop Varunada Lazurite when they are infused with Hydro.

For all the methods of obtaining Varunada Lazurite, check out this guide:

Varunada Lazurite Genshin Impact Hydro
Genshin Impact: Where To Get Varunada Lazurite

Every Hydro character in Genshin Impact will use Varunada Lazurite in their ascension, so here's where to find it.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Samachurl Scrolls

Samachurls are the shamans of Hilichurl tribes, and they'll drop strange mystical scrolls when defeated. Barbara uses these scrolls for both her ascension and her talent upgrades.

Samachurls are found basically everywhere, so it shouldn't be too difficult to farm their drops. However, keep in mind that higher level Samachurls are needed for better drops:

Samachurls can always be seen wandering Hilichurl Huts in Genshin Impact and sometimes can be found in pairs.

Boss Drop - How to Get Cleansing Hearts

A Cleansing Heart is one of the drops from Rhodeia of Loch, the Oceanid found north of Qingce Village. These items can be obtained by defeating the boss and paying the Original Resin cost to retrieve the rewards.

In this boss fight, the Oceanid is not attacked directly. Instead, the player must defeat the Hydro Mimics that she summons. These Mimics are immune to Hydro damage, so be sure to use characters other than Barbara in this fight.

Local Specialty - Where to Find Philanemo Mushrooms

These strange mushrooms are found in Mondstadt's three major population centers, the city, Dawn Winery, and Springvale. They'll grow under eaves, on the sides of tall buildings, and even on trees.

Though they can't be grown in the Serenitea Pot like some other regional specialties, Philanemo Mushrooms can be purchased. Chloris, the wandering vendor who can be found on the path north of Windrise, will sell Philanemo Mushrooms. She stocks five of them and sells them for 1,000 Mora each. She'll restock them every three days.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
