Unusual Hilichurl spawn locations and more

The Unusual Hilichurl in Genshin Impact has many different spawn locations dotted all around the world of Teyvat. Players can hunt this creature down anywhere from the tops of Stormbearer Mountain to the depths of Cuijue Slope.

The Unusual Hilichurl has eight spawn locations in Mondstadt and eight spawn locations in Liyue. Every time a player successfully locates and slays the Unusual Hilichurl, he will respawn again in a random location, and if they manage to defeat him again, he will go on a 12-hour-cooldown before his next appearance.

Players can also opt to enter Genshin Impact's co-op mode, which will allow them to defeat even more Unusual Hilichurls.

Defeating the Unusual Hilichurl rewards players with both Adventure Rank EXP and progress towards an achievement for defeating 50 of the elusive creatures.

Once this is complete, players can grab a unique namecard to show off their hunting skills. This is the real reward for hunting down the Unusual Hilichurl in Genshin Impact, as the extra AR EXP is very minimal.

However, for players trying to maximize their progress, hunting down the Unusual Hilichurl every day is useful.

The Unusual Hilichurl is a representation of Da Wei, a reference to the real-life CEO of miHoYo. This character was placed in Genshin Impact as an easter egg and as a way for players to "vent their frustrations." This character has made an appearance in several miHoYo games like Honkai Impact.

It is non-hostile until attacked, though when players do begin battle with the Unusual Hilichurl, it will act as a boss battle complete with a special health bar even though the player is free to leave at any time.
