As a seasoned Teyvat explorer, I thought I'd seen it all – until I dove into Hypostyle Desert's sandy expanse. What looks like barren wasteland is actually a multi-layered playground hiding 37 sneaky Dendroculus! 😂 Between dodging Hilichurls and deciphering King Deshret's ancient elevator puzzles, I felt like an archaeologist crossed with a parkour master. Pro tip: bring stamina food and your best puzzle-solving hat because this desert doesn’t give up its green goodies easily!
