How to perform according to Drum score in Genshin Impact: Complete guide for all 5 drums

The latest Genshin Impact 3.6 update has released a series of World Quests and mechanisms in the new desert region of Sumeru. One of these quests is called Awakening's Real Sound, where travelers are required to play five Kory Drums according to the drum score as one of the final objectives of the main quest.

Each Kory Drum has a unique set of musical notes, and only by performing the right actions can fans complete this challenge. Since the quest navigation system does not provide any order to play the drums, fans might find this task challenging. Here is a comprehensive guide on completing all five Kory Drum challenges in Genshin Impact.

As the final objective of the Awakening's Real Sound World Quest in Genshin Impact, all players must perform Kory Drums according to the drum score. Five drums represent all the Elements in the game, excluding Geo and Anemo, and each has its own unique musical score.

Before starting, it is vital to check the notes of each drum by interacting with them and clicking on "Check Drum Score." The above image is the score sheet of the Cryo drum, and one can see four leaf-like patterns below the tree, representing the musical notes of the Kory Drum.

Genshin Impact fans can refer to the following table to learn the meanings of each note:

Note	Action
Full leaf	Plunging Attack
Half leaf	Normal Attack
Empty leaf	Stay Still

A full leaf means a heavy beat, half means a light beat, and an empty leaf means a pause beat. Between each note, the Kory Drum will emit a golden light, a sign for fans to perform the correct action according to the drum score. The drum will make sounds based on the actions performed.

Some may get confused about the "Stay Still" action. However, this only means that no action is required, and players must wait for the glimmer to disappear and reappear to perform the next action on the drum score.
