Defeating different Fungi enemies
There are several Fungi enemies in the game, and fortunately, all of them can potentially drop Dormant Fungal Nucleus. However, it’s worth noting that the Fungal enemy you take on should be level 40+ for it to have a chance of dropping the desired material. You might think that only Dendro Fungi can drop a Dormant Fungal Nucleus, but that is not the case; A fungal enemy of any element is capable of dropping a Dormant Fungal Nucleus as long as it is level 40 or above.
This is probably the best method to earn Dormant Fungal Nucleus in the game. You don’t have to spend any vital resources, and plenty of Fungi enemies are scattered throughout the map, so it shouldn’t be hard to encounter one.
Purchasing Dormant Fungal Nucleus from Paimon’s Bargain
Paimon’s Bargain packs many essential resources you can buy using Masterless Stardust. This also holds for Dormant Fungal Nucleus, which you can purchase for 15 Masterless Stardust. Although the deal is relatively cheap, it’s generally recommended not to use your Masterless Stardust unless you are in dire need of the resource. Regardless, if needed, you can buy Dormant Fungal Nucleus from Paimon’s Bargain.
Converting Inactivated Fungal Nucleus
Using 3 Inactivated Fungal Nucleus and spending 50 Mora at Crafting Benches will yield a single Dormant Fungal Nucleus. This is another way you can earn Dormant Fungal Nucleus in Genshin Impact. If you are unable to defeat level 40+ effectively Fungi enemies, you might want to try defeating lower level Fungi enemies. This will give you Inactivated Fungal Nucleus, which you can then turn into Dormant Fungal Nucleus.
