Genshin Oculus Collection Guide: Totals per Region, Statue Rewards & Resonance Stones
Oculi are scattered collectibles in every nation of Teyvat — offer them at that region's Statues of the Seven for Primogems, Mora, max stamina, and Traveler constellations. The hunt is long and grindy, but it is the single most permanent account upgrade in the game. This guide covers region totals, statue rewards, resonance stones, and how to halve the pain.
- How many per region? Mondstadt Anemoculus 65, Liyue Geoculus 131, Inazuma Electroculus 181, Sumeru Dendroculus 271, Fontaine Hydroculus 271, Natlan Pyroculus 271; Snezhnaya Cryoculus opened with 7.0 (~140 in the first batch). One spare remains at max level.
- What do statues give? Primogems, Mora, stronger statue healing, and regional offering currencies per level. Mondstadt & Liyue statues uniquely raise max stamina — the top early-game priority.
- How do I get Traveler constellations? Each nation's statue levels award constellations for the Traveler of that element — collect that region's oculi if you build the Traveler.
- What are Resonance Stones? Consumable gadgets that circle the rough area of one uncollected oculus nearby. Blueprints unlock from city Reputation (Anemo/Geo at L2, Electro/Dendro/Hydro/Pyro at L8).
What is an Oculus?
Oculi are the pupil-shaped collectibles tied to each nation's Archon element: fixed overworld spawns that never respawn, never appear in chests, and ping the minimap with a star icon plus a sound cue when you get close. You offer them at that region's Statue of the Seven to raise the statue's level and collect rewards.
Three rules cover the whole system: one element per nation; oculi only feed that nation's statues; and statue level is shared region-wide (any statue in the region accepts your offerings). Statue level is separate from exploration % — it is exploration's "hard currency".
Region totals
| Region | Oculus | Total | Spare at max |
|---|
| Mondstadt | Anemoculus | 65 | 1 |
| Liyue | Geoculus | 131 | 1 |
| Inazuma | Electroculus | 181 | 1 |
| Sumeru | Dendroculus | 271 | 1 |
| Fontaine | Hydroculus | 271 | 1 |
| Natlan | Pyroculus | 271 | 1 |
| Snezhnaya (7.0+) | Cryoculus | ~140 first batch | expands per patch |
From Sumeru onward totals jump to 271, and a large share hide in underground caverns and puzzle pockets — pure eyeball searching becomes miserable; resonance stones and an interactive map are the way.
Statue of the Seven rewards
Every level grants Primogems and Mora; the important nodes:
| Reward | Detail | Priority |
|---|
| Primogems + Mora | every level; a solid sum per region at max | ✅ always |
| Max Stamina | only Mondstadt & Liyue statues (+40-ish combined) | 🥇 top early priority |
| Traveler constellations | per element, from that nation's statues | if you build the Traveler |
| Regional offering currencies | from Inazuma onward (Sacred Sakura etc.) | ✅ on the way |
| Shrine of Depths keys | select levels, mostly Mondstadt/Liyue | ✅ free chests |
Why Mondstadt and Liyue come first: stamina raises sprint, charged attack and dodge capacity for every character — the only statue reward that is effectively a stat boost. From Sumeru on, statues stop raising stamina; those hunts drop in priority below casual pickup.
How to find them: eyes to tools
- Proximity cue: a star icon appears on the minimap with a distinct chime — headphones double your efficiency.
- Resonance Stones: equip and use to circle the rough area of one uncollected oculus nearby, then again after cooldown. Blueprints come from city Reputation (Anemo/Geo L2, Electro/Dendro/Hydro/Pyro L8), crafted at the blacksmith. See our Reputation guide.
- Interactive maps: official/community maps list every spawn with filters and a collected checkbox — perfect for cleanup.
- World quests & puzzles: some oculi sit behind locked areas or puzzles; if you can see it but can't reach it, check for a quest gate or a puzzle first.
Efficient collection rhythm
- Early game: only grab what's en route. Oculi never despawn; ignoring them during the main story costs you nothing.
- Clear Mondstadt+Liyue when stamina hurts: when you feel the stamina wall, do one focused sweep with a map guide and bank all the stamina upgrades at once.
- New region: story first. Fresh regions gate spawns behind main-quest passages; collecting after finishing the Archon Quest is dramatically faster.
- Respect resonance stone cooldowns: pop one on entering a zone, then one after clearing each cluster — no idle waste.
- Keep the spare as a keepsake: the one leftover oculus at max level has no use; do not lose sleep over it.
Common mistakes
- Offering at the wrong nation: Anemoculus do nothing at Liyue statues — oculi only feed their home region.
- Ignoring statue healing: leveling strengthens the "Statue's Blessing" heal; top off at a statue before heading into the Spiral Abyss.
- Sumeru surface-only searching: roughly half of Sumeru's oculi are underground — circling the surface finds nothing, check elevation differences on the map.
- Expecting resonance stone navigation: it circles an area, not a pin; inside the circle, follow the sound.
- Wrong element constellations: Geo Traveler needs Geoculus; offering at Inazuma statues levels the Electro Traveler. Do not mix.

Summary
Oculus hunting is a one-time investment you schedule, not a chore you chase: grab en-route pickups early, do a focused Mondstadt+Liyue sweep when stamina actually hurts, and from Sumeru on let resonance stones and interactive maps do the heavy lifting. Statue levels then climb themselves — and Primogems, stamina and Traveler constellations accumulate along the way.
