Genshin Impact Naku Weed locations and Kuki Shinobu ascension materials guide

Kuki Shinobu is a new 4-star character in Genshin Impact that requires Naku Weed as one of her ascension materials. In the previous version, the 5-star character Yoimiya was the only unit that favored Naku Weed. Therefore, players who didn't have her did not possess any of the local speciality.

With the addition of Kuki Shinobu to the game, many players have started to farm for Naku Weed, especially since rumors of the Yoimiya rerun banner are increasing. Here are the locations of all Naku Weed in Genshin Impact and other ascension materials required by Kuki Shinobu.

Naku Weeds in Genshin Impact are mostly grouped together in one location, making it easier for players to farm. There are 16 of the local specialties in the Grand Narukami Shrine and three in Konda Village. Since there are many more places to collect Naku Weed, it is recommended that gamers simply ignore the last three Naku Weeds on Narukami Island to save time.

The next Inazuma island is Kannazuka, with 22 Naku Weeds in Tatarasuna. Similar to the previous location, there are three of these local specialties near the coast of Kujou Encampment that players can choose to collect or ignore.

There are two spots on Genshin Impact's Yashiori Island that spawn Naku Weeds. Eight of them are in Higi Village, and another five are in the Jakotsu Mine.

The last location to farm Naku Weed is Seirai Island, which plays host to most of them in the game. Over 50 Naku Weeds can be farmed from this location alone, and players should prioritize collecting the local specialty in this spot.

Kuki Shinobu needs a total of 168 Naku Weed to ascend to her highest level. Genshin Impact players can farm all of them in one day if they collect every Naku Weed in their world and visit a friend's world to collect the remaining Naku Weeds.
