Are you looking to get your hands on the elusive Forest Regalia claymore in Genshin Impact? As a fellow traveler and gaming enthusiast, I‘m here to help walk you through the entire process, step-by-step.
The mystical Forest Regalia is one of the newest claymores added in Genshin Impact version 3.0, and its unique passive skill can significantly boost your elemental mastery. However, finding this weapon‘s blueprint is no easy task.
In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll explain everything you need to know about the Forest Regalia, provide detailed instructions to obtain its blueprint, and even give some extra tips from my own experience playing through this process.
So whether you‘re a veteran Genshin fan or just starting your Sumeru journey, stick with me and you‘ll be equipping the Forest Regalia on your favorite claymore wielder in no time!
Overview – What is the Forest Regalia Claymore?
Let‘s start by talking about what this marvelous weapon even is.
The Forest Regalia is a brand new 4-star claymore that you can craft after obtaining a specific blueprint in Genshin Impact. It provides the following stats at level 1:
- Base ATK: 42
- CRIT Rate: 9.6%
- CRIT DMG: 19.2%
What makes the Forest Regalia special is its passive skill called Followchain. Here‘s what it does:
- When you hit an opponent with a Normal or Charged Attack, the character‘s Elemental Mastery will be increased by 80 for 8s.
- This effect can only occur once every 12s.
That boost to your Elemental Mastery stat will amplify your elemental reaction damage (Vaporize, Melt, Electro-Charged, etc).
Hence, the Forest Regalia is best suited for main DPS claymore characters that focus heavily on reactions. Some great character options include:
- Diluc – one of the top pyro DPS characters that relies on Vaporize reactions.
- Beidou – an electro sub/main DPS who can maximize Electro-charged damage.
- Sayu – an anemo healer who can trigger Swirl reactions.
Now let‘s dive into how you can add this fantastic claymore to your collection.
Prerequisites to Unlock the Forest Regalia Blueprint
The Forest Regalia blueprint is sold by an Aranara NPC named Aravinay located in the mystical forest realm of Vanarana. However, you can‘t simply teleport to Vanarana and grab it.
There is a specific set of prerequisites you must complete first to gain access:
Step 1: Finish the Aranyaka Questline (Up to Part II)
The Aranyaka is a lengthy multi-part world questline that takes you through various ancient ruins and lush forests all around Sumeru.
You‘ll need to progress through this questline and complete Aranyaka: Part II to open up Vanarana and meet the Aranara inhabitants.
Completing Aranyaka Part II involves:
- Finding and lighting up Dendro monuments across Sumeru‘s forests.
- Solving challenging environmental puzzles to redirect streams of water.
- Battling various new enemies like the Fungi and Eremites.
Make sure you also finish up the "World of Night and Day" sub-quest under Aranyaka Part II.
The entire Aranyaka questline can take 2-3 hours to complete but is well worth it for the lore and rewards.
Step 2: Finish "World and Trees & Dreams" Quest
After you complete Aranyaka Part II, you will automatically begin the "World and Trees & Dreams" quest.
In this quest, you need to help an Aranara named Neuvaz investigate the cause of recent earthquakes in Sumeru. He will assign you some challenges to test your wisdom, strength, and bravery.
Completing all of Neuvaz‘s tasks will finally grant you access to the heart of the Aranara‘s home – the magical forest realm of Vanarana.
And that is where you can finally obtain the Forest Regalia blueprint.
Step 3: Enter the Dream Realm in Vanarana
Vanarana is essentially a dream world inhabited by the Aranara and ruled over by King Deshret. You‘ll know when you‘ve entered the Dream Realm because the sky turns purple and you‘ll see giant magical jellyfish floating around.
However, if the sky looks normal, use the Vintage Lyre gadget in front of the Silapna statue to shift into the dream realm.
This dream state is necessary for you to interact with certain Aranara like Aravinay and purchase items from them.
Step 4: Locate Aravinay at the Tree of Dreams
Once you‘re in the dream realm in Vanarana, navigate to the center area called the Tree of Dreams.
Look for an Aranara named Aravinay perched on one of the upper branches of the tree.
Interact with Aravinay and he will sell you the Tale of the Forest King blueprint – which is essentially the Forest Regalia blueprint.
But just finding Aravinay isn‘t enough…
Purchasing the Forest Regalia Blueprint from Aravinay
In order to actually buy the Forest Regalia blueprint from Aravinay, you need to have a special currency called Stories of You and the Aranara.
This rare item can be obtained through a few different methods:
- Completing quests – Many of the Aranara quests will reward you with 1-2 Stories currency upon completion.
- Finding precious chests – Look for glittering, ornate chests hidden around Sumeru forests.
- Offering Electro crystals – Make offerings at Sumeru Statues of the Seven.
- Progressing Aranyaka – Advancing through the Aranyaka chapters will grant some Stories over time.
You only need 1 Story of You and the Aranara to purchase the Forest Regalia blueprint. So just focus on completing nearby Aranara quests and hunting for precious chests to collect enough.
Once you have at least 1 Story, go back to Aravinay at the Tree of Dreams in Vanarana. Interact with him again and select the Tale of the Forest King (Forest Regalia blueprint) for 1 Story.
And with that, you will finally obtain the crafting blueprint needed to forge the Forest Regalia claymore!
Crafting the Forest Regalia Claymore
After buying the blueprint from Aravinay, you can start crafting your brand new Forest Regalia claymore.
To craft it, you simply need to speak to a blacksmith (in Mondstadt, Liyue, or Sumeru city) and provide the following materials:
- 1 Midlander Billet
- 50 Crystal Chunk
- 50 White Iron Chunk
- 500 Mora
Select the Forest Regalia blueprint under the claymores crafting list. Pay the materials cost and the wonderful Forest Regalia 4-star claymore will be yours!
Equip it on your best claymore-wielding damage dealer to enjoy the benefits of its CRIT stats and the unique Followchain passive.
Some Handy Tips and Warnings
Based on my own experience obtaining the Forest Regalia in Genshin Impact, here are some extra pointers worth mentioning:
- Activate the Statues of The Seven in Sumeru to unlock waypoints that make travelling easier.
- Some of the Aranyaka puzzles are tricky, so don‘t hesitate to look up a guide if you get stuck.
- You can craft a Lyre gadget if you lost the Vintage Lyre needed to enter the Dream realm.
- Make sure to collect chests along the way for extra primogems, mora, and items!
- Unlock the Sumeru crafting table early so you can craft immediately after buying the blueprint.
- Keep an eye on your Adventure Rank requirements as you progress through Aranyaka and related quests.
And that‘s it! With this comprehensive guide detailing every step, you‘re now fully prepared to seek out the Forest Regalia claymore and add it to your collection in Genshin Impact.
