How to Farm for Illuga Materials in Genshin Impact
To gather Illuga materials, head to the Whispering Woods in Mondstadt after unlocking the domain at Adventure Rank 30. Clear the weekly boss there on Sundays for prime drops, and farm the overworld nodes that respawn every 48 hours. Use Resin on the domain for higher yields, pairing it with characters who boost material collection like those with Geo resonance. Track spawn times with the in-game planner to maximize runs without wasting time.
1. Pine Amber
Pine Amber is a new material that can be farmed in the Genshin Impact Luna IV’s new map. Until then, you can pre-farm the other materials listed.
2. Drive Shaft Material Group
The Drive Shaft material group can be found by defeating Landcruisers. You will encounter this enemy throughout Nod-Krai, primarily in areas with numerous Automatons. Use the Enemy section in the Adventurer’s Guide to track Landcruisers and defeat them.
3. Books of Elysium
The books of Elysium can be farmed from the Lightless Capital Domain in Lempo Isle. You can farm this item on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday.
4. Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core
Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core is dropped by Super-Heavy Landrover Mechanized Fortress. You will find this boss in the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau.
5. Eroded Horn
Eroded Horn can be obtained by defeating the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire boss. You can fight this enemy by challenging the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire Trounce Domain in Natlan.
Where to farm Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core fast
Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core drops exclusively from defeating the Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress boss.
Boss Location
The boss resides in an underground facility on Paha Isle within the Nod-Krai region of the Luna III area. Fastest access comes from the northeast teleport waypoint on Paha Isle, then heading south to unlock the battlefield in about 18 minutes. Track additional instances via the Adventurer’s Handbook for efficient resin use.
Fast Farming Tips
Use 40 Original Resin per clear, yielding 1-2 Cores (more at higher World Levels); expect 46 total for full Illuga/Durin ascensions. Optimal teams feature Geo DPS like Navia or Albedo for shield-breaking, paired with Bennett or Zhongli for sustain against mechanical attacks. An 18-minute unlock route skips exploration puzzles, and universal comps (e.g., ER-focused supports with Pyro/Fischl) handle both this boss and Abyss floors.
Best teams to defeat Super-Heavy Landrover Mechanized Fortress
Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress demands teams with strong Pyro application to fill its Overheat gauge, trigger the Cryo shield, and break it for stuns. Geo characters help with shield-breaking, while sustain prevents Cryo/Pyro damage during mechanics.
Top Teams
| Team | Main DPS | Sub-DPS/Support | Sustain | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Durin Team | Durin or Venti | Arlecchino or Wanderer | Bennett or Xilonen | Pyro swirl builds gauge fast; ideal for prefarming Cores. |
| Mavuika Team | Mavuika | Citlali | Bennett, Xilonen | Mono-Pyro shreds shield; C6 Diona/Layla adds EM. |
| Arlecchino Team | Arlecchino | Xiangling or Yelan | Zhongli or Bennett | High Pyro output; use weaker setup for achievement. |
| F2P National | Xiangling | Fischl | Bennett, Zhongli | Vaporize/melt clears reliably; easy to build. |
Key Mechanics
Hit with Pyro until the bar fills, dodge slams/missiles, then melt the Cryo shield during cooldown attempts. Repeat for achievement by stunning twice without killing early. Optimal clears take under 30 seconds at high investment.
