How do I complete the Sakura Arborism quest in Genshin Impact?

The Sakura Arborism quest in Genshin Impact is part of the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual questline in Inazuma. This quest involves solving puzzles and battling enemies to cleanse the Sacred Sakura Tree. Here is a detailed guide to help you complete it.

To start the Sakura Arborism quest, you need to have completed the previous quests in the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual series, including "A Strange Story in Konda" and "Sacrificial Offering." Once you have done these, you can begin Sakura Arborism by speaking with the shrine maiden near the Grand Narukami Shrine.

The quest involves interacting with a series of Electro pillars and solving puzzles to cleanse the area. The mechanics revolve around using the Electrogranum to activate the pillars in the correct order. Each pillar has a number of rings that light up when activated, and you need to activate them in the sequence indicated by the number of rings.

First, locate the five Electro pillars around the area. Each pillar has a different number of rings, ranging from one to five. You need to activate them in ascending order, starting with the pillar that has one ring and ending with the pillar that has five rings. To activate a pillar, you need to summon an Electrogranum from a nearby Electrogranum plant and then touch the pillar.

Once all pillars are activated in the correct order, a group of enemies will spawn. These enemies include Electro Samachurls and Electro Hilichurls. Defeat them to complete the cleansing ritual. After defeating the enemies, you will need to interact with the shrine to complete the quest.

Here are some important tips and considerations. Make sure you have a character with a bow or a catalyst to deal with the Electro Samachurls, as they can be tricky to hit with melee attacks. Also, bring a character with strong elemental reactions, such as Pyro or Cryo, to deal with the Electro enemies more effectively.

Common mistakes to avoid include activating the pillars in the wrong order or not summoning an Electrogranum before touching the pillar. If you activate the pillars out of sequence, you will need to reset the puzzle by leaving the area and returning.

For advanced techniques, you can use characters with abilities that can hit multiple enemies at once, such as Sucrose or Venti, to quickly clear the enemy waves. Additionally, using food buffs and potions can give you an edge in combat.

Team composition suggestions include a main DPS character like Diluc or Keqing, a support character like Bennett or Fischl, and a healer like Barbara or Qiqi. This setup ensures you have a balanced team capable of dealing damage, providing support, and healing.

Artifact and weapon recommendations depend on your characters. For DPS characters, focus on artifacts that increase attack and critical damage, such as Gladiator's Finale or Crimson Witch of Flames. For support characters, artifacts that boost elemental mastery and energy recharge, such as Noblesse Oblige or Thundering Fury, are ideal. Weapons should complement your characters' roles, with high attack weapons for DPS and supportive weapons for healers and supports.

In specific scenarios, you might encounter tougher enemies or need to adjust your strategy. For example, if you find the Electro Samachurls particularly challenging, focus on taking them out first before dealing with the Hilichurls. Using elemental reactions like Overloaded or Superconduct can also help you deal more damage.

By following these steps and tips, you should be able to complete the Sakura Arborism quest efficiently. Remember to take your time, plan your actions, and make use of your characters' strengths to overcome the challenges.
