The vibrant jungles of Sumeru hide a mystical creature central to many local legends – the enigmatic Tri-Lakshana. Photographing this strange fungi in its 3 distinct states will complete the "Graven Innocence" quest but locating and activating it proves difficult for many travelers.
In this definitive 2000+ word guide, I‘ll share expert insights on finding these elusive beings based on extensive in-game experience and research. You‘ll learn precise locations, optimal strategies, creative photography tips, and troubleshooting so you can easily capture the Normal, Activated and Scorched forms of the Tri-Lakshana.
Unraveling the Mystery of the Tri-Lakshana
These luminous mushroom-like organisms have perplexed scholars for ages. Inscriptions trace the Tri-Lakshana back over 500 years but their true origins remain unknown. We can however observe their unique ties to elemental energies.
When calm, the Tri-Lakshana glow with gentle Dendro energy. But when threatened they shift to an aggressive "Activated" state crackling with Electro energy. Their most dangerous form erupts with Pyro energy, becoming the fiery "Scorched" Tri-Lakshana.
Some believe they were created by the God of Wisdom to defend the jungle‘s most sacred Sites of Grace. Others speculate the Abode 2015 experiment imbued fungus samples with elemental energy creating the Tri-Lakshana. Most scholars agree prolonged exposure to powerful elements caused their mutation.
Regardless of origins, understanding their elemental transformations is key to capturing these mystical creatures on camera. So let‘s get started!

Now comes the fun part – activating and photographing it in 3 states!
Strategically Activating and Photographing Each State
Scorched Form: Applying Pyro attacks causes the fungi to erupt into the fiery Scorched form. For precise aim I recommend using Yoimiya‘s rapid shot Pyro arrows from a distance while circling the creature to capture its intense glow against the lush jungle backdrop.
Activated Form: Electro attacks send it into an aggressive posture with chaotic Electro energy arcing across its surface. Lisa‘s lightning abilities are perfect here – her skill provides sustained Electro area damage to give you time to maneuver around the creature for dramatic photos of its electrified state.
Normal Form: Finally, a few Dendro attacks will calm it back to Neutral. The cool blue glow creates a serene scene juxtaposed against the vibrant greens of the jungle.
With all 3 brilliant photos captured, you‘ve completed the first Tri-Lakshana! Now onto the next.
Locating the Airborne Tri-Lakshana in Mawtiyima Forest
Here the Tri-Lakshana takes to the skies, requiring adept aerial combat photography. After navigating the lush forest, you‘ll find it coasting above the canopy…[more detailed navigation guidance]
Let‘s review our photoshoot strategies:
Strategic Airborne Activation and Photography
Scorched Form: Face the challenge of hitting this floating foe with Pyro attacks! Yoimiya‘s homing arrows are excellent here. Lure the Tri-Lakshana over the open sky for unobstructed fiery photos.
Activated Form: Lightning attacks like Fischl‘s aimed shots make for dramatic mid-air Electro activation. For cool angles, glide beneath the creature!
Normal Form: Float up near the creature and alternate Dendro attacks with camera shots to capture its gentle blue glow against the sky.
With our airborne photos achieved, we head to the final fungal destination.
