Catching mushrooms in Genshin Impact: how to find and catch molds [walkthrough]
Let's tell and show where to find various molds and how to catch them.
Catching mushrooms in Genshin Impact is one of the game modes of the Epic Moulder Showdown event. In it, you have to catch molders with the help of a special item and receive rewards for this: primogems, mora, and event currency. Various types of mushrooms will be encountered as you progress through the event quests.
How to start
The opportunity to catch mushrooms will first appear during the event quest A strange new competition. As the quest progresses, the Traveler will automatically be transferred to the mold catching area.
The next stages (3, 4 and 5) can be started immediately from the menu without going through the quest.
How to use Pearl of Wisdom
An NPC named Hania will give out a special item: the Pearl of Wisdom, with which it is possible to catch mushrooms. To use this item, you must first equip it. To do this, open inventory and press «Put on».
After that, the elemental skill will be replaced by a net that must be thrown directly at the mushrooms.
Guide for Mushroom Catching
For good fishing it is important to observe some conditions:
- Don't get too close. It is worth keeping a certain distance so as not to frighten off the moulds.
- Don't apply Pyro status to mushrooms, this will slow down the rate of filling the catch bar. Instead, it is advisable to hit them with Electro element (archers are very goodthis element). Although their movement speed will increase, which may make it harder to hit with the net, it will make it easier to fill the catch gauge faster.
- Without imposing an elemental status (Pyro or Electro), in order to catch a mushroom, you need to throw a net at it 2 times. When using the Electro element, 1 time is enough, and if the molder was attacked by Pyro, then 3-4 times.
- If you started to catch one of the molds, then it is better to finish the job. When you throw a net on a mushroom for the first time, it gets scared and starts to run away exactly the same as if you just frighten it away. It's easier to catch up and finally catch than to be distracted by the other and catch them both longer.
Catch Area I: How to Find and Capture Hydro and Electro Molds
The first mushrooming area is located in the same area of the quest. Look around and find two molders nearby. You can catch them in any order.
Catch a hovering Hydro Mold
Molds in this zone, if frightened off or caught for a long time, can fly to the other side of the river, making it very difficult to catch. Therefore, it is important to catch the mushroom as quickly as possible.
Catch a sprawling Electro mold
The same goes for the second mold. They can be caught in any order, but it is advisable to try to catch them in such a way that trying to catch one does not frighten off the other. To do this, they need to be at a great distance from each other.

The Mold site for Capture Zone 2 is in Ardravi Valley, between Chinvat Gorge and Gandharva. The most convenient way to get there is from the northeast teleport point.
Catch the Sprawling Geo Mold
can fly to the other side of the river. And Geo molder does move only on the ground. It will be easier to catch him, so it makes sense to start with him.
