RELATED: Genshin Impact: Dori Ascension And Talent Materials List
If players are hoping to use Candace in combat, they’ll need to ascend her and upgrade her talents to reach her full potential. To do both of those things, the following materials will be needed!
Leveling Materials
Every Genshin Impact character uses the same amount of EXP and Mora between each ascension level, totaling over 8 million EXP and almost 2 million Mora by the time they reach the max level of 90. Here’s how much is needed between each of Candace’s ascension levels, as well as the specific totals.
Candace Ascension Items
Candace is a Hydro character, so players will need to seek out Varunada Lazurite to ascend her. She’ll also use some items that were released in 3.1, just like she was, as well as some common items dropped by Eremites in Sumeru.
Gemstones - Where to Find Varunada Lazurite
All Hydro characters need Varunada Lazurite, which is their specific elemental gem. There are quite a few ways to find each of the elemental gems, but boss rewards are the most reliable. The following bosses can reward Varunada Lazurite;
The Oceanid Primo Geovishap (when infusing Hydro) Hydro Hypostasis Childe/Tartaglia Stormterror/Dvalin Azhdaha (when he infuses Hydro)
For all the sources of Varunada Lazurite, check out our full guide on every possible method:

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Eremite Red Cloths
Eremites are known to cover their eyes with decorated red cloths, and these cloths will be amongst the items they drop when defeated. This is the common ascension material Candace uses in her ascension.
Higher-level Eremites can drop better quality cloths, as follows:
Any level: Faded Red Satin Level 40+: Trimmed Red Silk Level 60+: Rich Red Brocade
Boss Drop - How to Get Light Guiding Tetrahedron
A boss found in the desert of Sumeru is the strange Semi-Perpetual Control Matrix. This boss, which seems similar to Inazuma’s Perpetual Mechanical Array, has a unique drop called a Light Guiding Tetrahedron. This is the boss item that Candace’s ascension requires.
Local Specialty - Where to Find Henna Berries
Another item added alongside Candace in Genshin Impact 3.1 is a local specialty of Sumeru. The Henna Berry (formerly known as Redcrest) is a red plant found dotted around the desert and is used to ascend Candace. She’ll need 168 of these red fruits in total.
Candace Talent Materials
Hang on to any extra Eremites cloths, as Candace also needs them for her talent upgrades. Additionally, she’ll need everything else in this table:
Talent Books - Admonition
Candace joins some other Sumeru characters in using the Admonition series of talent books. These can be obtained from the Steeple of Ignorance domain on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Trounce Materials - Tears of the Calamitous God
Many of the first characters released in Sumeru use a trounce material from Inazuma, specifically, the materials dropped by the Shogun in the End of the Oneiric Euthymia domain. For Candace, the material needed is the Tears of the Calamitous God.
Crowns of Insight
Every character in the game needs a Crown of Insight for each talent’s final upgrade. These can be obtained by making offerings to the Sacred Sakura, Frostbearing Tree, and Tree of Dreams, upgrading the Lumenstone Adjuvant, or participating in special events.
Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices, with a Nintendo Switch version in development.
