How to pass Alchemy Exams

Upon entering Phase 2 of the Genshin Impact Alchemical Ascension event, you’ll need to figure out how to pass the Alchemy Exams. These have unique objectives to beat to earn more potion shop funds.

During Cycles 11-13, Sucrose will visit your potion shop and offer you the chance to pass a Beginner Alchemy Exam. This is separate from your usual Market News potions you must create to follow customer demands. To pass this exam, you must complete a main objective, and you also have optional objectives you should aim for:

Main Objective	Concoct a potion of Intermediate or higher grade whose efficacies include Constitution.
Optional Objectives	– Potion grade reaches Intermediate and potion level reaches +5. – Potion displays at least 1 characteristic. – Use no more than 3 different types of ingredients.

If you want to earn all monetary rewards and ace this Beginner Exam, you have to create an Intermediate Constitution Potion using these ingredients and the layout shown above:

• x4 Special Sweet Flower (Constitution/Strengthening)
• x3 Special Calla Lily (Constitution/Steadying)
• x2 Special Mushroom (Balanced/Endurance)

At this point, you should be able to stack up to two slots, and I took advantage of this to create this potion with a Tuning Rate of 225%. This will lead you to beat all objectives, and you’ll earn yourself a total of 25,000 shop funds.

Sucrose will come back during Cycles 14-16 to have you take the Intermediate Alchemy Exam. This time, the objectives are tougher to beat, but by using my method exactly you’ll be able to achieve them all. Sucrose is looking for you to beat these objectives:

Main Objective	Concoct a potion with efficacies Strength and Dexterity both reaching grade Intermediate or higher.
Optional Objectives	– Potion grade reaches Intermediate and potion level reaches +8 – Potion displays at least 2 characteristics. – No more than 10 ingredients used.

I was able to achieve the main objective and side objectives by creating this Intermediate Strength and Dexterity Potion. Use the same setup as I did, and use the ingredients listed below:

• x6 Special Horsetail (Dexterity/Endurance)
• x2 Special Mist Flower (Strength/Steadying)
• x2 Special Mushroom (Balanced/Endurance)

I made sure to only use a total of 10 ingredients, and I managed to make this Intermediate Strength and Dexterity Potion level 9. If you follow my method, you’ll be able to earn all the rewards, which combine to become 50,000 shop funds.

As a reminder, Phase 3 of the Alchemical Ascension event in Genshin Impact is not available yet, so once it releases we’ll help you figure out how to pass all Alchemy Exams. Other than Sucrose’s exams, you’ll have to make special orders for unique customers throughout this Alchemical Ascension event.
