Genshin Impact version 2.2 will reach its second half in 10 days, and version 2.3 will be followed after that. Lots of speculation is gathering in the community, especially regarding the banner in version 2.3.

The upcoming new Geo characters, Arataki Itto and Gorou, have a high chance to appear in the next version as five and four-star characters, respectively. However, this leaves another five-star character rumored to be Albedo, a Geo character first released in version 1.2.

This article will reveal the materials players can farm for Albedo before his rerun banner comes out in Genshin Impact.

Albedo used the scrolls for both ascension and talent materials. He needs the following number of scrolls to upgrade his ascension and talent levels to the maximum:

Ascension, from level 1 to 90:

• 30 Sealed Scrolls
• 36 Forbidden Curse Scrolls

All 3 Talents, from level 1 to 10:

• 18 Divining Scrolls
• 66 Sealed Scrolls
• 93 Forbidden Curse Scrolls

Divining, Sealed, and Forbidden Cursed Scroll are the rewards one will get after defeating Samachurl. This enemy can be found in nearly every corner of Teyvat, so players won't have a hard time finding it.

Gamers can also search for Samachurl using the Adventurer Handbook and click on the navigate button. The game will then lead players to Samachurl in every region possible.
