In Genshin Impact, udumbara buds are special collectibles that you need to collect to awaken the spirits in Fravashi trees. They are obtained from the mystical udumbar flowers by interacting with Sorush runestones. In this guide, we will tell you where to find these plants, and how to get the buds.
How to collect udumbara buds
So, we have already noted above that these items are required for Fravashi trees, the awakening of which must be dealt with as part of the Pale Fire quest chain in order to obtain feathers of cleansing light. One spirit can claim three udumbara buds from you.
To collect them, you will need Sorush, which you will receive as a companion during the world quest “The Majestic Sky of that Day”. Next, go to the runestone, call a bet (Z key), hover next to the green heart and start holding her skill use key (E).
As a result, you will automatically switch back to the character, and you will see a huge purple flower in the place where the rune used to be. Sit on its top and click on the “Collect” button in order to pick up the bud. We advise you to get off the flower before calling Sorush again, otherwise you will simply fall down.
Note: Understand what you took a bud from one or another udumbara can be found on orange petals spinning around a green heart. If there are none, then the flower is already useless for you.
Where to find all udumbara buds in Genshin Impact
In total, you can find six udumbars, and they all grow on the territory of the Asipattravan swamp, located in the kingdom of Farahkert. This way you can get six buds, which will be required for two fravashi trees. You can collect them in any order. The map below shows their approximate location. Next, we'll take a closer look at collecting pistils.
Udumbara Bud 1
Travel to the indicated teleporter, then run east and jump down the cliff. Stand on the ledge shown in the screenshot below and you will see a runestone in front of you. Call Sorush, fly up to him and use her skill while holding the “E” key.
The result will be a purple flower. After regaining control over the hero, jump on him and take the bud.
Udumbara bud 2
Teleport to the fast travel point in the north of the swamp, and then turn right and run forward to the cliff. Jump down from it, turn around, and you will see the next runestone on the rock. Land on the ledge below it and summon Sorush.
Fly up and hover right next to the heart, and then use the bet skill. After returning to the hero, climb the rock or use the four-leaf symbols on the right to climb to the top of the flower and collect the bud.
Udumbara Bud 3
From the previous flower, jump down and fly to the bottom of the gorge. However, before reaching it, land on a rocky ledge located above the runestone. Next, call your bet as usual.
Go down a bit as Sorush and hover near the green heart, then use your skill. You will return to the character. Now just jump off the cliff and you will immediately land on the purple flower. Gather the bud.
Udumbara bud 4
Return to the north teleporter, then turn around and run south to the edge of the cliff. Jump down, fly down a few tens of meters, constantly looking back, and soon you will see a runestone on the rock. Land on the ledge above it so you don't have to climb up later.
Summon Sorush, fly down a little, hover over the heart and use the skill. Now, as a character, simply jump down onto the purple flower and grab the bud.
Udumbara Bud 5
Travel to the teleporter to the south, then turn around and you will notice a runestone on a small cliff. Stand on the ledge below it and then call the bet.
Hover next to the heart and hold the skill key to create a purple flower and switch back to the character. Now just climb up and grab the desired item.
Udumbara Bud 6
Travel to the east teleporter and run north along the path, then turn left and go past the tree, above which hangs the dendroculus. Then stand on the edge of the cliff shown in the screenshot below and summon Sorush.
Fly down and you will see a runestone on a rock. Hang near it and use the bet skill. Now just jump the hero off the cliff and land on the flower to collect the last bud.
Next, you just have to find the desired Fravashi trees and give them 3 udumbara buds so that their spirits awaken and you can get feathers.
