Where to Find All of Gorou’s Ascension and Talent Materials
Gemstones - Where to Find Prithiva Topaz
All Geo characters use this elemental gem, and it can be found a few ways. Souvenir shops, the Parametric Transformer, and the Adventurers' Guild’s daily commissions are all sources of every elemental gem, but most of them will come from defeating bosses.
These bosses, in particular, are capable of dropping Prithiva Topaz:
For a full guide on obtaining Prithiva Topaz, check this guide:
Enemy Drop - Where to Find Spectral Husk, Spectral Heart, Spectral Nucleus
Specters are some of the most annoying common enemies in the game, but players will need to fight them if they want to level up Gorou without spending Stardust. These enemies are primarily found on Watatsumi Island, Seirai Island, and in Enkanomiya.
Like other common enemies, Specters can drop different materials depending on their level.
Boss Drop - How to Get Perpetual Heart
Gorou is one of a couple of characters that uses the unique boss drop of the Perpetual Mechanical Array — the Perpetual Heart. This boss can be found in Inazuma.
Initially, this boss can be a bit tricky to access, but there are two ways to do this. The first is to step through a portal found on Jinren Island, but a more convenient, long-term method is to finish the portion of the Cleansing Defilement quest that takes place on Araumi. Doing this permanently unlocks a teleport waypoint right near the boss.
Local Specialty - Where to Find Sango Pearl
This local specialty is exclusive to Inazuma, but is only found in two places: Watatsumi Island and Enkanomiya. These Pearls appear in little flower nests near bodies of water. Some hotspots include the Serpent’s Bowels area and near Suigetsu Pool.
Anyone having difficulty finding enough Sango Pearls to ascend Gorou (or both himand Kokomi, since they both need them), should head over to Ritou and find Yamashiro Kenta. He sells five Sango Pearls for 1,000 Mora each. Luckily, he restocks every three day. Unluckily, he’s only available after finishing the second act, Transient Dreams, of the Raiden Shogun’s Story Quest.
Talent Books - Light
The talent series Gorou uses is the Light series. These can be obtained by clearing the Violet Court domain on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Trounce Materials - Molten Moment
Gorou’s job is in direct opposition to a policy the Fatui orchestrated. How fitting, then, that he needs an item obtained by defeating a Fatui Harbinger? To earn the Molten Moments Gorou uses in his talent upgrades, the player needs to defeat La Signora at her weekly trounce domain.
