Ultimate Guide to the Genshin Impact Aphid Treasure Trace Event

The new event called Aphid Treasure Trace has launched in Genshin Impact 5.1. In this exciting event, players are tasked with locating and attacking unique Phlogiston Aphids that have fallen under the influence of Abyssal corruption. Various tactics and mechanics are provided for players to successfully hunt and capture these Aphids. To participate, players must achieve at least Adventure Rank 20 and complete the Archon Quest titled “Song of the Dragon and Freedom.”

For an optimal gaming experience, completing the latest section of the Natlan Archon Quest, “The Rainbow Destined to Burn,”is advised. Nevertheless, players can engage in the event without finishing this quest as long as they meet the other requirements.

Playing Aphid Treasure Trace in Genshin Impact

To commence the Aphid Treasure Trace event, it’s essential to initiate the quest “Aphid Treasure,”which is found in the Children of Echoes region. The event kicks off with Xilonen explaining the dangers posed by the Phlogiston Aphids and enlisting the Traveler’s help in capturing them.

The event consists of five stages, unlocking a new stage each day. While different trial characters are assigned to various stages, the core gameplay mechanics remain consistent. Here’s a detailed guide on how to track down, strike, and overcome the corrupted Phlogiston Aphids:

Step 1: Locate the Phlogiston Aphids

The areas where Phlogiston Aphids reside are highlighted on the map. Proceed to the specified location and engage with the challenge marker to initiate the event.

Step 2: Destroy the Wards protecting the Phlogiston Aphids

The Phlogiston Aphids are shielded by special Wards that prevent direct attacks. To defeat them, you must first dismantle these Wards. Nightsoul-aligned attacks are significantly more effective than standard attacks for this purpose.

Step 3: Employ the insect net

Xilonen will hand over a unique insect net designed to expedite the destruction of Wards and briefly stun Phlogiston Aphids. These nets require charging before use, and you can gather Shackleberries from the surroundings to power them up.

Once charged, the insect net can be released. Players can stock up to two nets and use them strategically to disable the Wards of the Phlogiston Aphids.

Step 4: Strike the Phlogiston Aphid while it’s stunned

Once the Ward has been neutralized, the Phlogiston Aphid will be stunned. This opens a window for you to directly assault it and drain its corroded Abyssal power. After fully depleting its power, the Aphid can be captured.

Be cautious; if you fail to reduce the Aphid’s Abyssal power while it’s incapacitated, it will recover and escape to a nearby spot. You’ll need to pursue it and break its Ward again.

Having a ready-to-use insect net can be beneficial in this scenario. You can deploy it right as the Aphid attempts to flee, interrupting its escape.
