1 | Head inside the Portal after playing the Rhythm of the Gloomy Path on a hollow object found in the far back of the area or close to the entrance. |
2 | Once you're transported, use the Four-Leaf Sigils to get to the down arrow symbol. |
3 | Defeat the Fungi enemies under the down arrow symbol. |
4 | You can now access the Dendrograna! |
Sumeru Dendrograna Guide
Return to Portal and Hit all Branches
With a Dendrograna in hand, attack all Withering Branches with a Charged Attack or Aimed Shots. We recommend using Bow users as the Dendrograna will disappear shortly, so there's little time to get to the farthest branch.
