RELATED: Genshin Impact: The Best Team Compositions to Pair with Itto

Players who have added this trouble-making oni to their team might want to level him up and upgrade his talents. To do this, Itto needs quite a few items and some Mora. We’ve outlined everything needed to power up the great Arataki Itto. Read on for all the Itto ascension materials you’ll need!

Leveling Materials

Though he considers himself above many other people, Itto still uses the same amount of EXP as any other playable character to reach level 90. Reaching this level requires quite a few EXP materials. Between each ascension level, Itto will require more and more EXP and Mora, as follows:

Itto Ascension Items

It’ll take some gemstones, boss drops, enemy materials, and a local specialty to ascend Itto. It’ll also cost quite a bit in Mora.

Gemstones - Where to Find Prithiva Topaz

Arataki Itto is one of Genshin Impact’s Geo characters, meaning he’ll use Prithiva Topaz in his ascension. This Geo elemental stone can be gained in a few ways, mostly from defeating bosses, but also from souvenir shops and completing daily commissions.

These bosses can reward Prithiva Topaz when defeated (and the Original Resin cost is paid):

Geo Hypostasis Ruin Serpent Golden Wolflord Perpetual Mechanical Array Primo Geovishap Andrius (The Wolf of the North Challenge) Azhdaha (Beneath the Dragon Queller)

How to Get Prithiva Topaz

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Slime Drops

Slimes are found basically everywhere, which is great because Itto needs a lot of their material drops to ascend. Higher level Slimes can drop better and better materials:

Any level: Slime Condensate Level 40 and higher: Slime Secretions Level 60 and higher: Slime Concentrate

Boss Drop - How to Get Riftborn Regalia

One of Inazuma’s standard bosses in Genshin Impact is the Golden Wolflord. It’ll drop Riftborn Regalia, which is a material used by only Arataki Itto and Yun Jin at the moment.

Find the Golden Wolflord at the southern edge of Tsurumi Island in Inazuma.

Local Specialty - Where to Find Onikabuto

Itto has an interesting love of insects and battles with Onikabuto, which is probably why he’ll use Onikabuto to ascend. For a while, he was the only character that used these beetles for ascension, but Heizou uses them now, too.

Onikabuto can be found around Inazuma, specifically in places with high Electro concentrations. Such places include the Mikage Furnace and Mt. Yougou.

Itto Talent Materials

Make sure to save enough Slime materials when ascending Itto, as he’ll also need them to upgrade his talents. Here’s everything he needs, including the totals for all three upgradeable talents:

Talent Books - Elegance

As a brash, bold, in-your-face oni who features a bull motif, it’s a bit surprising that Itto will use the Elegance series of talent books to upgrade his talents, but alas, it’s one of the Itto talent materials.

Find the Elegance series by clearing the Violet Court domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Trounce Materials and Crowns of Insight

Every character uses a Crown of Insight for each of their talents when upgrading it to its max level. Itto is no exception. These rare items can be earned as rewards during special events or by making offerings to the Frostbearing Tree, Tree of Dreams, and Sacred Sakura. One can also be earned by leveling up the Lumenstone Adjuvant.

The weekly trounce material Itto uses for talent upgrades is the Ashen Heart. These are one of the rewards for defeating La Signora at her trounce domain.

Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices, with a Nintendo Switch version in development.
