Where do I find Tourbillon Device location in Genshin Impact?

The Tourbillion Device is found in the Fontaine Research Insitute Region in Gesnhin Impact and is dropped by the Experimental Field Generator boss. To reach the giant Meka enemy, you must travel north from the Marcotte Station. The quickest way to find the boss is to use the Academic Assembly Hall fast travel point, which sits directly behind the enemy’s battle arena.

You can find the exact location of the Tourbillion Device in the map I have provided below:

Once you enter the arena, you must take down the Prototype Cal. Breguet meka. During the boss fight, the Experimental Field Generator will trigger a Gravitational Reduction Field, which can only be turned off using Pneuma attacks. If you have Lyney, Freminet, or Fontaine Judge Neuvillette, you can quickly dispel the gravity attack. The Experimental Field Generator will drop two or three Tourbillion Device items after you defeat it.

How to get Wriothesley Level-Up Material in Genshin Impact

You can purchase the Meshing Gear Ascension Material in Paimon’s Bargain shop for 5 stardust. The Mechanical Spur Gear can also be picked up for the same price. However, the store limits how many items you can buy per month. To access the storefront, pause your game and click the “Shop” menu icon. The Wriothesley Ascension Material can be found in the Stardust Exchange tab in Paimon’s Bargains.

If you have reached your item limit, the Meshing Gear material can be found by defeating Clockwork Meka enemies in the West Slopes of Mont Automnequi, Fontaine. Simply use your Adventurer Handbook and select the Clockwork Meka in the Enemies tab to highlight it on your map. You will now be able to farm the enemies to get as many gears as you need. The meka also drops the Mechanical Spur Gear and Artificed Dynamic Gear items.

All Subdetection Unit locations in Genshin Impact

The Subdetection Unit Ascension Material can be found in the northern Fontaine Research Insitute Region in Genshin Impact. Unlike the other level-up items for Wriothesley, Subdetection Units are found in the overworld and need to be picked up. At a glance, they can be mistaken for a beetle. Some of them even spread their wings and fly in the air!

Below is a map of all Subdetection Unit locations in Genshin Impact:

How to get more Subdetection Unit in Genshin Impact

Unfortunately, the Subdetection Unit Ascension Materials only respawns every 48 hours in Genshin Impact. So, after you pick up all 72 items on your map, you will have to wait two days in real time before you can find more of them. However, there is a workaround to this. If you visit another player’s game, you can actually farm the Subdetection Unit materials in their overworld.

To do this, pause your game and select the “Co-Op” button on the main menu. Next, spam out as many invites as you want until you get accepted to join. It should be noted that the community frowns upon you “stealing” materials from other player’s games. So you should ask for permission first before farming the item. Plus, the host can just instantly kick you from their game anyway, so you aren’t likely to make it very far if you don’t say anything.
