How to play Elemental Crucible

Elemental Crucible is all about defeating enemies for Elemental Clots and depositing them at a central spire. By collecting three Clots of the same element, you will be able to fill the progress bar faster. However, if you collect an element that is different to the Clot you’re already carrying, you will swap to that new element, losing however many you had.

When the progress bar is full, the Elemental Crucible activity is completed. At this point, you can interact with the spire to gather your rewards. The rewards you receive are based on your personal World Level, according to the official Genshin Impact website. Keep in mind, claiming a reward uses your Original Resin, so you will want to keep an eye on this.
