In Genshin Impact, the general of the Watatsumi resistance army is also a young man who has a Geo Vision. Gorou is a Geo bow user who plays an important role in the Inazuman storyline and is capable of being a great support character for many teams.
Anyone looking to ascend this canine warrior will need the proper items and Mora. The same applies to strengthening his abilities. Here''s all you need to know about how to level up and ascend Gorou!
Leveling Materials
Gorou has to rise at certain levels, just like every Genshin Impact character. Here''s how much EXP and Mora is required between each ascension level:
| Level | EXP | Mora |
|---|---|---|
| 1-20 | 120,175 | 24,200 |
| 20-40 | 578,325 | 115,800 |

| 60-70 | 1,195,925 | 239,200 |
| 70-80 | 1,611,875 | 322,400 |
| 80-90 (max) | 3,423,125 | 684,800 |
| Totals: | 8,362,650 EXP | 1,673,400 Mora |
To achieve the maximum level, a lot of EXP will be required. Here''s an overview of the most powerful EXP components:
| Item | Total |
|---|---|
| Wanderer''''s Advice | 12 |
| Adventurer''''s Experience | 11 |
| Hero''''s Wit | 415 |
Gorou Ascension Items
Gorou will also need some items found on Watatsumi Island, like Sango Pearls and Specter drops. Here''s everything Gorou must do to complete ascend:
| Level | Gems | Enemy Drops | Boss Drops | Specialty | Mora |

Every Geo character will benefit from this elemental gem in a few ways. Souvenir shops, the Parametric Transformer, and the Adventurers'' Guild'''' daily commissions are all sources of every elemental gem, but the majority of them will result in defeating bosses.
These managers, in particular, are capable of defeating Prithiva Topaz:
- Azhdaha
- Andrius
- Primo Geovishap
- Ruin Serpent
- Geo Hypostasis
- Golden Wolflord
- Perpetual Mechanical Array
Specters are one of the most powerful common enemies in the game, but players will need to fight them if they want to level up Gorou without using Stardust. These enemies are primarily found on Watatsumi Island, Seirai Island, and in Enkanomiya.
Specters may drop different materials depending on their level, like other common enemies.
- Any level Specter can drop Spectral Husks
- Specters level 40 and up can drop Spectral Hearts
- Specters level 60 and up can drop Spectral Nuclei
Gorou is one of two characters who utilizes the unique boss drop of the Perpetual Mechanical Array the Perpetual Heart. This boss can be found in Inazuma.
This boss may be a bit tricky to access initially, but there are two methods to proceed: the first is to enter a portal found on Jinren Island, but the second is to complete the portion of the Cleansing Defilement quest on Araumi. This permanently opens a teleport waypoint just near the boss.
This local specialty is exclusive to Inazuma, but is only found in two locations: Watatsumi Island and Enkanomiya. These Pearls appear in tiny flower nests near bodies of water. Some hotspots include the Serpent''s Bowels area and near Suigetsu Pool.
Anyone who is struggling to get enough Sango Pearls to ascend Gorou (or both him and Kokomi, since they both need them) should travel to Ritou and find Yamashiro Kenta. He sells five Sango Pearls for 1,000 Mora each. Unluckily, he''s only available after finishing the second act, Transient Dreams, of the Raiden Shogun''s Story Quest.

Along with everything he''ll have to offer, Gorou will require some additional Spectral drops to boost his talents:

The Light series, which Gorou employs, is a talent series. These can be obtained by clearing the Violet Court domain on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Gorou''s job is in direct opposition to a policy the Fatui orchestrated. What makes him feel about getting an item from defeating a Fatui Harbinger? For the Molten Moments Gorou uses in his talent upgrades, the player must defeat La Signora at her weekly trounce domain.
Every character is used to max out a talent, meaning they''ll need three people each to do so. Gorou is no different, however. These rare items may be earned during special events or used as rewards for making offerings to the Sacred Sakura and Frostbearing Tree.
With a Nintendo Switch version, Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices.
