During the main quest of the event, you can meet multiple characters involving a special character from a different region. It's one of the few events that doesn't involve anything combat-related. In fact, it's impossible to use your weapon while you're doing it.

Updated on November 16, 2022 by Sanyam Jain: All the phases of Coruscating Potential and Special Training are now out in the Fabulous Fungus Frenzy event. The main quest for the event is also unlocked completely, and you can battle through different opponents to obtain victory in the major tournament. This comes with a beautiful quest and allows you to get all the event rewards, including Dori.

Fungus Capture Guide

Genshin Impact Fungus Capture Screen With Rewards

During the first act of the event quest, players will acquire the Wisdom Orb gadget, which is the main attraction of the event. This orb lets you remove the aggressive nature of Fungi and tame them as and when required. You can equip this gadget by heading to the Gadget tab in your inventory. It will have a clock on the top-left to signify the time-limited nature.

Throughout the event, multiple parts of this segment will open, and you'll have to capture every kind of Fungi to finish it. During the quest, you'll be getting the Hydro, Electro, Geo, and Cryo Fungus. To start this endeavor, click on the "Go To Challenge" option on the Fungus Capture page.

To get to this tab, you need to head over to the main Events tab and find the Fabulous Fungus Frenzy event. Once you're on the page, head over to "Prepare for Tournament" and you can get to Fungus Capture by clicking on the left icon at the top.

Genshin Impact Yae Using Wisdom Orb To Capture Fungi

After getting to the location, a small area will be highlighted with a yellow circle on the map. There'll be one Fungi of each required type in this area. Look around and find the Fungi with a yellow arrow on top of their head, and press the gadget button to activate Wisdom Orb after you see one.

This will replace your Elemental Skill with a special ability that can be used to capture Fungi. Get partially close to the Fungi and activate your Elemental Skill button to get in the stance shown above. Now, you simply have to aim the net at the Fungi and their capture bar will increase if you hit them.

If you get too close to the Fungi, they will enter an alert state and run away from you. You can still try to hit them with the ability when they're running away, but it's significantly harder.

Once you've hit a Fungi enough times with the Wisdom Orb net, they'll get captured. Do the same to the rest of them in an area and the circle will disappear, finishing that part of the challenge for you.

How To Beat Every Part Of Coruscating Potential

After you've captured your Fungi, the next step is to train them. To do this, head over to Port Ormos and find Balfour. During this challenge, you have to make a certain pattern by switching, rotating, copying, and using a preset for the jellies. To get all the rewards, players need to do it within seven turns for each Fungus.

Special Training Guide

Genshin Impact Special Training Screen With Rewards

You've captured the Fungi and upgraded them, and now it's time to test them out in battle before you get to play the official tournament. There is a specific domain for this and the game will take you there on the map if you click on "Go To Challenge". Once you're there, simply teleport to the domain and interact with it.

There are two parts of Special Training: Coordinated Assault and Zone Defense. For Coordinated Assault, players need to fight against a different group of enemies three times and defeat them without losing too many Fungi. For Zone Defense, you need to protect a monolith and prevent your Fungi from being eliminated as well.

You only have four Fungi for the first mode, but you'll be getting a choice for the further runs. You need at least 2,000 points to get all the rewards. Here are a few tips for finishing the battle on each part with 2,000 or more points:

Name Of Coordinated Assault Part

Name Of Zone Defense Part

Tips For The Fight

Through the Battlefront

Precise Firepower

  • There will be a lot of Hilichurls with Geo Shields, Geo Slimes, Rock-Sheild Mitachurls, and Hilichurl Chieftain. Using the Geo Fungus' ability can help you remove their shields quickly.
  • You can use a combination of Hydro and Cryo Fungi skills to freeze the enemies, reducing damage taken from them.

Elemental Stratagems

Raid Disruption

  • During the beginning, you'll have Cryo Slimes as enemies in these modes, so it's recommended to not choose the Whirling Cryo Fungus.
  • In the later stages, there will be Hydro Abyss Mages, and you'll have to use Cryo Fungus against them to get rid of the shields quickly. You can change the Fungi lineup in the middle of battle.
  • It's important to run Hydro Fungus and use its ability in this part because the Fungi will be taking a lot of damage, and it's important to keep them alive to get the most points.

Rapid Chase

Spherical Threat

  • In the first zone of Rapid Chase, you'll have to defeat 16 slimes of different elemental types. It's best to use the Floating Anemo Fungus here because of its ability to bring all the enemies to the center.
  • The second zone will consist of a bunch of specters, and your raw damage is important for this one. This opens up the possibility for Stretchy Geo Fungus.
  • The third zone mostly consists of Cryo enemies making you pick Pyro Fungi and Bongo-Head for healing.
  • The Spherical Threat Zone Defense consists of Cryo, Hydro, Electro, and Dendro enemies. You can use a combination of Pyro, Geo, and Anemo to defeat them easily.

Combined Tactics

Three-Dimensional Defense

  • The first phase of Combined tactics once again consists of a bunch of small Cryo Slimes, making Pyro the strongest element.
  • You can easily defeat the Electro Whopperflowers in the second phase with the combination of Floating Anemo and Stretchy Geo Fungi.
  • The third phase consists of one Geovishap that is easy pickings for Stretchy Geo Fungus as well.
  • Three-Dimensional Defense has a set of Electro Slimes and Pyro Whopperflowers, and that's the perfect place to use a freeze combination with an Anemo crowd controller.

Marauding Adversary

All Domain Suppression

  • Since this is the final battle, you'll be going against a Ruin Drake in the first phase itself. A combination of Floating Dendro and Stretchy Pyro can burn this opponent easily.
  • The second phase can be completed with the Floating Anemo Fungus' crowd control and Stretchy Geo Fungus' raw physical damage. The enemies on this one have an Electro aura, and you can use Cryo Fungus to get rid of that as well.
  • The Stonehide Lawachurl on the third phase requires you to have Stretchy Geo on the team. This is because this Fungus skill can deplete the Geo shield quickly.
  • Floating Anemo Fungi's crowd control is essential if you want to protect the monolith in All Domain Suppression. Furthermore, you need a Pyro Fungi for the wooden shields held by both Mitachurls and Hilichurls.

After finishing the first part of Special Training, you'll be done with the first act of the event quest as well. At the start of the second act, you will start battling different people in the official tournament near Port Ormos.

Genshin Impact Free Dori From Fungus Frenzy Event

The best part about this event is that players can get a copy of Dori for free for playing it. To invite her, you need to get 1,000 Mushroom Currency and Fungus Medals each. Here's how you can get these event-exclusive items:
