The Catch and its refinement materials can be obtained by exchanging a fish at the Inazuma Fighting Association. This polearm will be exceptionally suitable for Raiden Shogun when she is released in Genshin Impact version 2.1.

Common materials

Common materials are items that can be dropped by a group of enemies in Genshin Impact. The Catch needs two different common materials: Spectral drops and Chaos drops.

1) Spectral drops

• 10 Spectral Husk
• 15 Spectral Heart
• 18 Spectral Nucleus

Travelers can gather spectral drops from a new enemy in Genshin Impact version 2.1. Although Specter has three elements: Hydro, Geo and Anemo, these still distribute the same materials when defeated.

For the location, Genshin Impact did not reveal the specific area that could spawn Specter. Still, it can be assumed to be the two new islands in Inazuma: Watatsumi Island and Seirai Island.

2) Chaos drops

• 15 Chaos Gear
• 18 Chaos Axis
• 27 Chaos Oculus

The third ascension material for The Catch is the Chaos drops from Ruin Sentinel. There are four types of Ruin Sentinel in Inazuma:

1. Ruin Cruiser
2. Ruin Destroyer
3. Ruin Defender
4. Ruin Scout

Defeating any of them will provide gamers with the same Chaos drops. This enemy is located all around Inazuma, specifically Araumi, Serpent's Head and Fort Mumei. In addition, players can use the Interactive Map to spot the precise location of Ruin Sentinels and hunt them for the materials.

Genshin Impact version 2.1 is coming in four days, and Travelers, especially those who wish to pull for Raiden Shogun in the first event banner, still have time to farm two of the essential materials for The Catch.
