The Nilotpala Lotus is a special flower that can only be found in the Sumeru region in Genshin Impact. This local specialty will grow near the banks of rivers and lakes. The flower is a rich golden color and rests on a bed of blue flowers. It is easy to spot as it grows on large green lilypads in the water. The Nilotpala, or Lunar, Lotus will bloom at night, the blue and golden leaves unfolding under the light of the moon.
That said, it can be picked at any time of the day and does not require a special elemental interaction, unlike some other plants in the game.
What is the Nilotpala Lotus used for?
The Nilotpala is required to upgrade the character Tighnari and is also used to create the Dendroculus Resonance Stones. These stones are used to help players track down the exact locations of the Dendroculus that are scattered all over the Sumeru region.
