Anyone hoping to ascend this canine warrior will need the right items and Mora. The same holds true for upgrading his talents, too. Here's everything needed to level up and ascend Gorou, and how to find all of it!

Where to Find All of Gorou's Ascension and Talent Materials

Gemstones - Where to Find Prithiva Topaz

All Geo characters use this elemental gem, and it can be found a few ways. Souvenir shops, the Parametric Transformer, and the Adventurers' Guild's daily commissions are all sources of every elemental gem, but most of them will come from defeating bosses.

These bosses, in particular, are capable of dropping Prithiva Topaz:

For a full guide on obtaining Prithiva Topaz, check this guide:

Every Geo character in Genshin Impact needs some Prithiva Topaz to ascend, and this guide will show how to get it.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Spectral Husk, Spectral Heart, Spectral Nucleus

Genshin impact Specters with the items they drop

Specters are some of the most annoying common enemies in the game, but players will need to fight them if they want to level up Gorou without spending Stardust. These enemies are primarily found on Watatsumi Island, Seirai Island, and in Enkanomiya.

Like other common enemies, Specters can drop different materials depending on their level.

  • Any level Specter can drop Spectral Husks
  • Specters level 40 and up can drop Spectral Hearts
  • Specters level 60 and up can drop Spectral Nuclei
Genshin Impact Specter Locations
Genshin Impact: Specter Locations

Players need to farm Specter drops as character and weapon ascension materials, and materials for talent level-up.

Boss Drop - How to Get Perpetual Heart

Gorou is one of a couple of characters that uses the unique boss drop of the Perpetual Mechanical Array — the Perpetual Heart. This boss can be found in Inazuma.

Initially, this boss can be a bit tricky to access, but there are two ways to do this. The first is to step through a portal found on Jinren Island, but a more convenient, long-term method is to finish the portion of the Cleansing Defilement quest that takes place on Araumi. Doing this permanently unlocks a teleport waypoint right near the boss.

Maguu Kenki is one of the most mysterious of Genshin Impact's many bosses — a silent samurai automaton that battles anyone who comes near.

Local Specialty - Where to Find Sango Pearl

This local specialty is exclusive to Inazuma, but is only found in two places: Watatsumi Island and Enkanomiya. These Pearls appear in little flower nests near bodies of water. Some hotspots include the Serpent's Bowels area and near Suigetsu Pool.

Anyone having difficulty finding enough Sango Pearls to ascend Gorou (or both him and Kokomi, since they both need them), should head over to Ritou and find Yamashiro Kenta. He sells five Sango Pearls for 1,000 Mora each. Luckily, he restocks every three day. Unluckily, he's only available after finishing the second act, Transient Dreams, of the Raiden Shogun's Story Quest.

Sango Pearl is used for character ascension in Genshin Impact and Travelers can locate them in Inazuma.

Talent Books - Light

The talent series Gorou uses is the Light series. These can be obtained by clearing the Violet Court domain on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Genshin Impact: Every Domain Schedule

Knowing the schedule for some of Genshin Impact's Domains can help players collect certain items relatively painlessly.

Trounce Materials - Molten Moment

Gorou's job is in direct opposition to a policy the Fatui orchestrated. How fitting, then, that he needs an item obtained by defeating a Fatui Harbinger? To earn the Molten Moments Gorou uses in his talent upgrades, the player needs to defeat La Signora at her weekly trounce domain.

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!
