Genshin Impact Drum score guide: How to perform according to Kory Drums instructions

The Genshin Impact 3.6 patch has tons of fresh content and mechanisms. One of the significant changes in the latest version of the game is the newly unlocked areas in Sumeru and the series of World Quests associated with these regions. Completing these quest stories is essential for exploration, as some new locations are locked behind the quests.

That said, during Awakening's Real Sound World Quest, Genshin Impact fans will encounter a new world mechanism called Kory Drums. Each drum has a unique note, and players must play it accordingly. This article will guide all Genshin Impact players on performing Kory Drum as per the drum score.

How to play Kory Drums in Genshin Impact

At the end of Awakening's Real Sound World Quest in Genshin Impact, you will be tasked with playing Kory Drums according to the drum score. There are five drums, each with its own unique score, and there is no specific order to perform them, so you can start with any of them.

You can check the scores of each drum by getting closer to them and clicking on "Check Drum Score." As you can see in the above image, there are four leaves below the tree, which indicates the musical notes of its respective Kory Drum. Here's what each leaf means:

Note	Action
Full leaf	Plunging Attack
Half leaf	Normal Attack
Empty leaf	Stay Still

After memorizing the drum score, you can now move forward with the task at hand. However, since the quest navigation or guide does not make it clear when to hit the drums, it can get very confusing at first. To start the performance, you can interact with the Kory Drum and click on "Begin Performance." The drum will emit a golden light, which is the signal for you to perform the action according to the drum score.
