Kalpalata Lotus in Genshin Impact is a beautiful blue flower that grows on tough terrains. This plant hangs from cliffsides, making it quite a dangerous journey to collect them. Travelers should exercise caution while collecting this material as it’s very easy to lose their foothold and fall off the cliff it’s hanging from. Falling itself is not an issue, but getting back up can be quite a nuisance.
To fully ascend a Genshin Impact character, 168 local specialties are required. Other than that, players will also need common materials and boss drops.
So far, only two Sumeru characters need Kalpalata Lotus as their ascension materials. One is the shady merchant, Dori, while the other is the Dendro Archon, Nahida. Nahida is the second 5-star Dendro character after Genshin Impact Tighnari and is set to be a sub-DPS. She wields Catalyst as her weapon. Meanwhile, Dori is a 4-star Electro unit that uses Claymore in a fight. The merchant’s primary role in the team is as a healer and a battery.
Kalpalata Lotus Location In Genshin Impact
There are five primary Kalpalata Lotus locations in Genshin Impact:
- Gandharva Ville
- Mawtiyima Forest
- Devantaka Mountain
- Apam Woods
- Vanarana
Kalpalata Lotus in Genshin Impact is a local specialty of Sumeru that grows around cliff sides. All Kalpalata Lotus plants would be hanging from something, either a cliff or a branch. There’s also one exception in Gandharva Ville where the flower is hidden under a pile of leaves.
Visiting all the spots will grant around 67 Kalpalata Lotus, so at least two refreshes (each reset takes 48 hours) are required to get enough materials to fully ascend a character. Alternatively, people can also raid the lotus from other worlds.
Gandharva Ville and Mawtiyima Forest
Four Kalpalata Lotus plants exist around Mawtiyima Forest. Players can also find around three batches of Kalpalata Lotus next to the Gandharva Ville statue of the seven.
Meanwhile, the one marked with a clover is hidden behind a pile of leaves and is examined by two Eremite Desert Clearwater. Travelers can use Pyro to trigger a Genshin Impact Elemental Reaction and burn the pile. This will reveal a Kalpalata Lotus under it. Keep in mind that the pile and the Lotus do not respawn, but the Eremites will.
Devantaka Mountain
Players can find Kalpalata Lotus in Genshin Impact northwest and southeast of Devantaka Mountain. The ones northwest are directly south of Vimara Village.
Apam Woods
Three Kalpalata Lotus locations exist between Apam Woods and Yasna Monument. Note that the ones in Apam Woods are rather close to the river, so don’t bother climbing up the trees.
Vanarana
There are quite a few spots for Kalpalata Lotus around Vanarana. Unlike all the other Kalpalata Lotus locations, there’s one hidden underground in this area (star mark). To reach it, players must use the Vanarana underground Teleport Waypoint in Genshin Impact and follow the hall southwest.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
