The fog-shrouded shores of Tsurumi Island continue to challenge even the most seasoned Genshin Impact explorers in 2025. This mysterious island, sitting far from Inazuma City like that awkward cousin nobody talks about at family gatherings, remains one of the game's most atmospheric locations. The perpetual mist that blankets the island isn't just for show – it actively tries to make your Electroculus hunting a nightmare unless you've resolved the island's tragic backstory through its quest line.
The Forgotten Land's Hidden Treasures
Let's face it, HoYoverse really said "let's make them WORK for these Electroculi" when designing Tsurumi Island. With 30 of these floating purple orbs scattered across this quest-locked region, completing your Electroculus collection requires both patience and a solid game plan.
The island's design is honestly kinda brilliant – you can't just show up and start collecting. You need to unravel the island's secrets, unlock passages, and only then can you truly begin your collection journey. It's like HoYoverse is telling us, "No shortcuts here, Travelers!"
Starting Your Collection Journey
The Easy Ones (Because They Give Us False Hope)
The first Electroculus is practically waving at you from a small island behind the Statue of Seven. You'll need to activate some Electrograna by blowing up Electro bombs, but it's basically the tutorial Electroculus that lulls you into thinking, "Oh, this won't be so bad!"
For the second one, teleport to the central waypoint and head straight to the first mountain. Use the conveniently placed Electrograna along the cliff to ascend, and voilà – another Electroculus within easy reach.
From there, do a 180 and glide south toward the shore to find number three sitting pretty atop a small rock. You might have to bonk some slimes, but nothing major.
The Middle Ground (Where Things Get Interesting)
The fourth Electroculus hangs out near the center waypoint, surrounded by Riftwolves who apparently think they're good guardians (narrator: they are not). Just defeat these good bois and claim your prize.
Number five is chillin' in plain sight at the Moshiri Ceremonial Site. It's like it's not even trying to hide.
For the sixth, you'll need to embrace your inner daredevil. From the ceremonial site, glide down toward the cliff edge, then look directly below. The Electroculus is hanging out under the cliff, practically daring you to come get it.
The Trickier Ones (Because Pain is HoYoverse's Love Language)
The seventh requires a trip to a small shrine where two Electro Abyss Mages are having what appears to be an important meeting about the rising cost of teleportation in Teyvat. Crash their party and grab the Electroculus behind them.
For number eight, climb the nearby tree root and head left to find it floating above a hilichurl camp. These poor hilichurls have no idea they've been camping under a valuable collectible this whole time.
The Cave and Mountain Collection
The ninth Electroculus requires some spelunking skills. Head to the shore, but as you reach the cliff edge, immediately dive down into the cave beneath. The Electroculus is visible through a crack in the ceiling – blink and you'll miss it!
Numbers ten and eleven are both located inside Mt. Kanna, requiring you to master the Electrograna transportation system. One sits at the top of a tree, while the other hides in a small mountain arch. The views are spectacular, if you can stop panic-gliding long enough to appreciate them.
The Southern Shoreline Tour
The next few Electroculi will take you on a scenic tour of Tsurumi's southern shores. Start at the Golden Wolflord boss waypoint (that overgrown corgi is still a pain to fight in 2025) and head straight down to find number twelve through a doorway.
For thirteen and fourteen, you'll be dealing with barriers and Ruin Guards. Because apparently, collecting floating orbs wasn't challenging enough without adding killer robots to the mix.
Numbers fifteen through eighteen form a nice little collection route along the shoreline, with one hiding by a waterfall (for aesthetic purposes, obviously), another atop a large rock (for the climbers), one in a cave (for the explorers), and one above a shrine on a small island (for the completionists).
Shirikoro Peak: The Electroculus Motherlode
If Tsurumi Island had a "most likely to hide Electroculi" award, Shirikoro Peak would win unanimously. This massive tree-mountain combo is home to numbers nineteen through twenty-four, with some truly devious placements.
You'll need to glide down near tree roots, use Electrograna to break barriers, crawl through windows (hope you brought Xiao or another short character!), and even use the mysterious feather to reveal hidden walls. It's like HoYoverse designed an entire escape room just for Electroculus hunters.
The underground circular dome with ruin machines below hosts one of the more visually impressive Electroculi – floating above certain doom, naturally.
The Final Stretch
The remaining Electroculi will have you scaling mountains, breaking more barriers, and using phase gates to reach seemingly impossible heights. The twenty-eighth one at Chirai Shrine deserves special mention – suspended so high above the shrine that even Xiao's plunging attack can't reach it without help from a nearby phase gate.
Number twenty-nine sits atop a large rock south of Chirai Shrine, almost taunting you with its relative simplicity after all you've been through.
And finally, number thirty – the last one – waits near the Moshi Kara domain. Getting here requires either the Waverider or a phase gate from the mainland, because of course the final one couldn't just be easy to reach. Look for it floating underneath a cliff edge, requiring one final glide of faith to complete your collection.
Was It Worth It?
After collecting all 30 Electroculi from Tsurumi Island, you'll have taken a significant step toward maxing out your Inazuma Statue of the Seven. The rewards are substantial – more stamina, Electro DMG buffs, and of course, the satisfaction of 100% completion.
But beyond the mechanical rewards, there's something special about fully exploring this forgotten island. Through the mist and mysteries, Tsurumi Island tells one of Genshin Impact's most haunting stories – one that stays with you long after the fog has lifted.
So Travelers, as we continue to explore new regions in 2025, one question remains: with all the incredible world design HoYoverse has delivered since Inazuma, does Tsurumi Island still hold up as one of the game's most memorable locations? Or has the fog of time diminished what once felt so magical?
