Ruined Hilt is a new character and weapon enhancement material added in the Genshin Impact 4.6 update. You must defeat Praetorian Golems, elite enemies found in Faded Castle and in Sea of Bygone Era, to collect this item. You can acquire Ruined, Splintered, and Still-Smoldering Hilts by defeating these foes.

Those who have Arlecchino's signature weapon, Crimson Moon's Semblance, will want to farm these materials to max out their polearm's enhancement. This article will cover all spawn locations of Praetorian Golems so Genshin Impact players can farm Ruined Hilts.
