Tired of Missing That Last Geoculus? Let’s Conquer Wuwang Hill and Beyond!
Ah, Geoculi. Those pesky little orbs in Genshin Impact. They beg to be collected. You hear the hum, see them on your mini-map, but grabbing them? It feels impossible sometimes. Especially near Wuwang Hill. Fear not, brave traveler! This guide is your treasure map, minus the riddles, to get those Geoculi and max out your Statues of the Seven in Liyue.
Geoculus Hotspots: Wuwang Hill and Beyond
Let’s dive into Geoculus locations. You’re after Wuwang Hill, but trust me, extra knowledge helps. Especially for collecting elemental power.
Wuwang Hill’s Overlook Geoculus
Alright, Wuwang Hill. You probably wonder about “that” Geoculus. It’s classic: “so close, yet so far.” This rascal rests overlooking the valley. Look for a slope, a treasure chest (why not?), and a tree slightly uphill. Your mission? Channel your inner squirrel. Climb that tree, glide like an eagle, and bam! Geoculus secured. Mini parkour challenge with a glowing orb as your prize.
Mt. Aocang Adjacent Geoculus Adventures
Near Mt. Aocang? Keep your eyes peeled! The brief doesn’t pinpoint an exact location, so explore around cliffs and higher areas. Geoculi love the view, just like us, but they’re harder to photograph.
Waterfall Wonders: Geoculus Edition
Waterfalls are lovely and, surprise, Geoculus magnets! Always check behind waterfalls. Genshin hides secrets in plain splash. You might get a bit wet, but consider it a fun detour.
Delving into the Depths: Underground Geoculus
Not all Geoculi are sky-high. Some prefer the underground. Explore caves and dark openings you find. You may need to solve a small puzzle or defeat grumpy Hilichurls guarding their glowing rocks.
Mt. Tianheng Statue’s Secret Path
Near the Mt. Tianheng statue, you need some elemental interaction. Channel your inner Geo master (that means you with a Geo Vision). Activate the Elemental Monument with a Geo ability. Voila! A secret path appears. Follow it, and you’ll find your Geoculus above the road. The game says, “Here you go, you earned it.”
Hidden Valley Geoculus near Qingyun Peak
South of Qingyun Peak, west of Juen Karst, lies a valley. In that valley, a lone Geoculus floats mid-air amidst the scenic ravine depths. This one’s for explorers. Get ready to glide and climb to reach this hidden gem. It’s a reward for those who love getting lost in Teyvat’s beauty.
Mt. Hulao Waterfall Geoculus
Mt. Hulao is another waterfall hotspot. Geoculus number 85 hangs mid-air in front of the waterfall. As you glide from the waypoint, it practically waves at you. Not really waving, but definitely glowing invitingly. Don’t miss this one; it’s practically free.
General Geoculus Hunting Tips: Think Like a Seeker
The golden rule of Geoculus hunting? Think hidden, think secluded. These orbs are masters of disguise. They could be under a bridge, behind a rock, or atop a tree branch. Listen for the telltale sound (more later), and climb everything in sight. Sometimes, obvious places are the best hiding spots.
Geoculus Hunting Tools of the Trade
Alright, knowing where they *might* be is half the battle. But what about actually finding them? Genshin provides handy tools for the devoted Geoculus collector.
The Geoculus Resonance Stone: Your Personal Geoculus Radar
This is your Geoculus-seeking gadget. Think of it as a Geoculus GPS. First, prove your worth to Liyue by reaching Reputation Level 2. This unlocks the recipe for the Resonance Stone via alchemy. Crafting requires some fancy ingredients:
- 5 Cor Lapis: Shiny yellow rocks found under cliffs and on Mt. Hulao.
- 5 Glaze Lilies: Elegant white flowers blooming at night in Liyue.
Once crafted, equip the Resonance Stone and activate it. BAM! A blue circle appears on your map, showing nearby Geoculi’s general area. It’s not exact, but it narrows your search. Think of it as hot-and-cold on a map.
Interactive Maps: The Online Geoculus Encyclopedia
For dedicated (or slightly impatient) Geoculus hunters, interactive maps are your allies. These resources show you the exact locations of ALL the Geoculi. It’s like having a cheat sheet, no judgment here. Sometimes you just want to complete your quest quickly.
The Geoculus Soundtrack: Listen Closely!
Don’t underestimate your ears! When you get close to a Geoculus, you’ll hear a distinct, subtle sound effect. It’s a gentle hum or chime whispering, “Psst, I’m over here!” Pay attention to ambient sounds; you might discover a Geoculus you would’ve otherwise missed.

Level 10 Geo Statue: The Ultimate Geoculus Goal
To fully max out the Liyue Geo Statue of the Seven to Level 10, you need to offer 130 Geoculi. That’s many glowing rocks, but the rewards are worth it. More stamina means more gliding, climbing, and dodging angry Ruin Guards. Trust me, your thumbs will thank you.

For completionists, collecting Geoculi (along with Anemoculi, Electroculi, Hydroculi, and all those other -oculi) helps your area exploration percentage. That number in the corner of your map is your badge of honor. Show everyone you’ve truly scoured every inch of Teyvat!

To reiterate, that final step is key: activate the Geo Monument with a Geo ability. That’s how to open the domain entrance with a Geo-powered lock. Show it who’s boss with a Geo construct or elemental skill.
Wuwang Hill Statue Puzzle: Order Matters!
There’s a statue puzzle in Wuwang Hill that may confuse you. The secret? Order of activation is crucial. Here’s the sequence for enlightenment:
