Where to find Onikabuto in Genshin Impact
You can find Onikabuto in the northeast region of Narukami Island in Inazuma. The flowers that have been placed on the map in the picture below are the locations of where the Onikabuto are at.
You won’t be able to access Inazuma unless you’ll need to finish the story up to The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia archon quest and getting to Adventurer Rank 30.
They’re purple beetle-like creatures that stay on trees, walls, and caverns. Thankfully, you won’t have to attack them or do any other tactic to pick them up. You simply walk towards them and grab each Onikabuto. They’re pretty easy to spot, even at night as the purple shade is lighter.
To best optimize your grind for the Onikabuto, we suggest running around Mt. Yougou and Grand Narukami Shrine as they’re close together. In order to make this process faster, find the teleport stone northwest of Mt. Yougou. There’s also one that’s south of the Grand Narukami Shrine that’s a slight detour off the main stairway. Go right when you see a dog statue and just before the red gate in front of you. You’ll find a portal for the End of the Oneiric Euthymia, which can act as a travel point.
