Genshin Impact 2.1 leaks: Ascension materials for The Catch polearm revealed

Genshin Impact version 2.1 is coming in a few days. To keep fans interested, miHoYo releases information each day regarding new characters, weapons and mechanisms until the day of maintenance arrives.

Today, Genshin Impact announced 'Weapon Overview Part 1'. The post mentioned four new weapons: Engulfing Lightning, Luxurious Sea-Lord, "The Catch" and Predator.

The overview itself did not describe in further detail the materials needed to upgrade each weapon. However, leaks have already revealed the necessary ascension materials for all of them. For example, here are the items required to ascend one of the new weapons: The Catch.

The Catch and its refinement materials can be obtained by exchanging a fish at the Inazuma Fighting Association. This polearm will be exceptionally suitable for Raiden Shogun when she is released in Genshin Impact version 2.1. Travelers planning to wish for the Electro Archon are recommended to farm the ascension materials for The Catch early on.

Common materials

Common materials are items that can be dropped by a group of enemies in Genshin Impact. The Catch needs two different common materials: Spectral drops and Chaos drops.

1) Spectral drops

• 10 Spectral Husk
• 15 Spectral Heart
• 18 Spectral Nucleus

Travelers can gather spectral drops from a new enemy in Genshin Impact version 2.1. Although Specter has three elements: Hydro, Geo and Anemo, these still distribute the same materials when defeated.

For the location, Genshin Impact did not reveal the specific area that could spawn Specter. Still, it can be assumed to be the two new islands in Inazuma: Watatsumi Island and Seirai Island.

2) Chaos drops

• 15 Chaos Gear
• 18 Chaos Axis
• 27 Chaos Oculus

The third ascension material for The Catch is the Chaos drops from Ruin Sentinel. There are four types of Ruin Sentinel in Inazuma:

1. Ruin Cruiser
2. Ruin Destroyer
3. Ruin Defender
4. Ruin Scout

Defeating any of them will provide gamers with the same Chaos drops. This enemy is located all around Inazuma, specifically Araumi, Serpent's Head and Fort Mumei. In addition, players can use the Interactive Map to spot the precise location of Ruin Sentinels and hunt them for the materials.
