Genshin Impact's 2.0 update adds five new craftable weapons to the game, and many players will undoubtedly want to collect the blueprints for all of them. Of these new blueprints, it is the one for the Hamayumi bow that has proved to be the most elusive. However, players have now discovered exactly how the recipe for the Inazuma bow in Genshin Impact is obtained, and full details on the process can be found in this guide.
To get right to it, players that are interested in earning the Hamayumi bow blueprint should begin by heading to the Teleport Waypoint in northwest Tatarasuna. From this position, Genshin Impact fans should make their way northeast to the small piece of land that juts out into the water. Players should then look around the coastline for any glowing spots, which they should interact with in order to procure Mysterious Conches.

After obtaining three of these Mysterious Conches in Genshin Impact, fans should navigate to the nearby hut and speak with an NPC named Takashi. They should then hand over the shells in exchange for the opportunity to open one of the Common Chests inside of the hut, and indeed these containers are the source for the Hamayumi bow blueprint. That said, players should certainly not expect to receive the blueprint the very first time that they loot one of Takashi's chests, and they will need to repeat these steps over a number of days.
In fact, it is currently believed that the Inazuma bow blueprint can only be obtained after turning in Mysterious Conches seven different times. While it is perhaps possible that there is some amount of randomness to this that would allow a player to receive the blueprint before opening their seventh chest, it appears that the odds are, at the very least, greatly increased upon hitting that number. It may actually be the case that players are guaranteed to receive the item with chest number seven, though that has not been confirmed firsthand.
One final thing to mention is that there is a hidden achievement associated with collecting the Hamayumi bow blueprint, and it is called Thank You, Come Again. While that may not be quite as exciting as gaining the ability to craft the new 4-star bow in Genshin Impact, it may be of interest to players that love earning achievements. Fortunately for those fans, there are quite a number of them to be unlocked in Inazuma.
Genshin Impact is available for Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5, with a Switch version in development.
