In Genshin Impact Hydrocules are unique spirit particles that can be found on the map in Fontaine. They are required to level up the Hydro Archon Statues found in this watery region in order to receive a variety of rewards, including Source Stones and Hydro Seals.
All you can find 271 Hydroculus, however, in patch 4.0, only a part of Fontaine will be available, so at first you can only get 85 Hydro particles - this amount is enough to pump 4 levels of archon statues. We add that one oculus, as usual, will remain with you as a souvenir.
Note: If you are having difficulty finding these water particles, we advise you to use hydroculus echo stone.
