Simulacrum Nexus Progress
Bloom of Hearkening local specialty
Gather the Nexus specialty used for Hsin’s ascension and stop when her planned ranks are covered.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Bloom of Hearkening local specialty
Local-specialty pickups in the Simulacrum Nexus of Mengzhou.
Before you go
- Unlock the Simulacrum Nexus through the main story.
- Check Hsin’s live ascension screen to confirm the item is still needed.
- Reach accessible parts of the Nexus and use its map to identify revealed areas.
Farming steps
- Open Hsin’s Resonator upgrade screen and note the Bloom of Hearkening shortfall for the ascension ranks you intend to unlock.
- Open the Nexus map and review the Heart Realms and pickup information currently revealed to you.
- Travel to an accessible area where the map or environment shows a pickup, then collect the Bloom of Hearkening you find there.
- Continue through accessible marked areas, keeping track of locations already checked during the session.
- Return to Hsin’s ascension screen and compare your inventory with the planned requirement.
- If you still need more, revisit accessible pickup areas later and collect any available nodes you find.
- Use the collected specialty for Hsin’s ascension and recheck her screen before making another gathering pass.
- Hsin’s full ascension requirement is 60; use your live inventory and target ranks to calculate your own shortfall.
- No complete pickup count or fixed route is established, so do not treat an unmarked area as a guaranteed source.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a limited regional-pickup farm. Collect available nodes and return for another pass only if you still need the item and pickups have become available again; the exact respawn timing is not established here.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a complete route or fixed pickup total: use revealed map details and visible nodes, and track what you actually collect.
- Gathering beyond the planned ascension need: compare inventory with Hsin’s upgrade screen before another pass.
- Treating a different Mengzhou specialty as a substitute: confirm the item name on Hsin’s ascension screen before spending time gathering.
When to stop or switch
Stop when your inventory covers the Bloom of Hearkening needed for Hsin’s planned ascension ranks, or switch to another required material while waiting for more pickups.
