As a character from Mondstadt, Diluc is one of the easier characters to level up and ascend. Nonetheless, many players still have trouble finding Diluc’s preferred materials around the world of Genshin Impact. Here are a few tips for gathering them.
Leveling Materials
Like every other character in Genshin Impact, Diluc requires a certain amount of Mora and EXP to level up, which increase when he passes certain milestones. These amounts and milestones are:

As such, players should stock up on a good amount of EXP-raising items. One great combination of EXP-boosting items includes:
Diluc Ascension Items
While leveling is the most basic way of raising a character’s strength, it pays for Genshin Impact players to ascend Diluc. He will require a few items to ascend each tier, which can be found around the world of Teyvat.
Gemstones: Agnidus Agate
As a Pyro user, Diluc will need a certain amount of Agnidus Agate with each ascension. These can be obtained via many methods:
In the souvenir shops for sigils By completing daily commissions By defeating bosses found in each region
Bosses that drop Agnidus Agate include:
Pyro Regisvine Pyro Hypostasis Primo Vishap Andrius and Azhdaha’s boss fights.
Enemy Drop: Recruit’s Insignia
Diluc will require the player to collect Recruit’s Insignias in order to ascend each level. These Insigniaa can be collected by defeating any number of Fatui Recruits found in the world. One location where Fatui Skirmishers spawn in great numbers is the north shore of Dragonspine.
Boss Drop: Everflame Seed
For many Pyro users around Mondstadt and Liyue, collecting drops from the Pyro Regisvine will be needed at a certain ascension level. Diluc will need Everflame Seed after defeating the boss, which can be found near Tianqiu Valley in Liyue.
Local Specialty: Small Lamp Grass
In addition to items collected by defeating bosses, characters in Genshin Impact will also need a local specialty found from their respective regions. Diluc will need a quantity of small lamp grass with each ascension.

These thin lightbulb-like pieces of grass can be found abundantly in the Whispering Woods and Wolvendom, so players will want to journey to these places when building Diluc’s ascensions. Small lamp grass will glow a bright blue during the night when it is easiest for Genshin Impact players to collect these plants.
Diluc Talent Materials
While ascensions are the best general way to increase a character’s strength, leveling up their talents is also an important part of the building process. For Diluc, players will need the following items to level up his talents:
Talent Books: Resistance
Diluc is a strong-minded vigilante in Mondstadt (which has caused many fans to nickname him “Batman”), even to the extent of going against the city’s ruling organization. Naturally, players will need Books of Resistance to level up Diluc’s talents. These can be obtained from the Forsaken Rift domain on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday.
Trounce Materials And Crowns of Insight
After level 6, players will also need to collect Trounce Materials in order to ascend Diluc. For these materials, players will need to complete the Stormterror’s Lair domain and collect Dvalin’s Plume.
All characters in Genshin Impact can use Crowns of Insight to maximize the ascension of their talents — Diluc is not an exception. Players can use one Crown of Insight for each talent, which can be obtained via limited-time events, from the Frostbearing Tree, and Sacred Sakura.
Genshin Impact is available on mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is currently in development.
