RELATED: Genshin Impact Sumeru Guide List – New Characters, Quests, Areas, and More GAMERANT VIDEO OF THE DAY As an Archon, Nahida is extremely capable as a unit in the game. Anyone hoping to get the most out of her potential will need to level her up and upgrade her talents. To do all this you will need some Mora and the items mentioned in this guide.
Leveling materials
Archon or otherwise, every character in Genshin Impact requires the same amount of EXP to reach level 90, outlined in the table here:
EXP Mora level 1-20 120,175 24,200 20-40 578,325 115,800 40-50 579,100 116,000 50-60 854,125 171,000 60-70 1,195,925 239,200 70-80 1,611,875 322,400 80-90 (Max) 3,423,654,654,6,654,6,65 ,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6 ,6,6,6,6,62,60,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6 years old.
Nahida Ascension Items
Even though she doesn’t have Dendro Vision, Nahida still uses the elemental Dendro gem, Nagadus Emerald, to level up. In addition to these gems, you will need the following materials in this table:

Gems – Where to find Nagadus Emerald
This green gem can be found in many of the same places as the other elemental gems – daily supplies, the parametric transformer, and so on. However, a lot of this will come from defeating bosses. These bosses can drop the Nagadus Emerald when defeated:
Tree Hypostasis Jadeplume Terrorshroom

Enemy Drop – Where to find mushroom materials
These little sensuous mushrooms that inhabit Sumeru (and some parts of the Abyss) drop the materials Nahida needs for ascension. At higher levels, these fungi can drop different materials:
Any Level: Fungal Spores Level 40 and above: Light Pollen Level 60 and up: Crystal Powder Blister
If these enemies are exposed to Pyro or Electro, their material drops will change and cannot be used to take on Nahida. Be sure to prevent these items from coming into contact with these enemies if you plan to climb Nahida. Hydro, Anemo, Cryo, Geo, and Dendro are all usable against fungus without changing their drops, though watch out for environmental hazards that hit enemies with Pyro or Electro, including other monsters/enemies.
Boss Drop – How to Get Quelled Creeper
The Dendro Hypostasis was the last Hypostasis to be added, with one representing each element. This was presented alongside Nahida herself. When defeated, Dendro Hypostasis will grant rewards to travelers who pay the cost of Original Resin. One of these rewards is a boss drop unique to Dendro Hypostasis, called Quelled Creeper. Nahida will need quite a few of these to climb up.
Local specialty – Where to find Kalpalata Lotus
A few different plants dot the landscape of Sumer, classified as local specialties. These are used to level up Sumeru characters, and Nahida is no different. The local specialty used in the Nahida climb is the Kalpalata Lotus. These small flowers grow on the sides of cliffs and can be very difficult to pick. They thrive around the forested parts of Sumeru, with a few swarms spawning west of Sumeru City, south of Vimara Village, and just west of the Rift. In a pinch, they can also be purchased. Aramani, an Aranara found in the dream version of Vanarana, will sell five of them for 1,000 Mora each. This lovable creature returns every three days.
Nahida Talent Materials
Upgrading Nahida’s talents will require a few things, listed here:

Talent Books – Ingenuity
There are three sets of talent books in Sumeru, based on the three virtues of Akademiya. The series Nahida uses is Ingenuity books. You can get this particular line of talent books by clearing the Steeple of Ignorance sector on Tuesday, Friday, or Sunday.
Trounce Materials – Doll Strings
It’s easy to see why many might be happy to defeat Scaramouche’s deity form, Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal, if they like Nahida. This form was built to essentially replace her as a god by the evil Akademiya. As such, it will probably be quite satisfying to have to repeatedly beat this boss to power up Nahida. Her talents require the drop of Puppet Strings, which comes from defeating this weekly boss. Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5 and mobile devices, with a Nintendo Switch version in development.
