Violet Coral is found in Huanglong and the Black Shores. You will find an abundance of this material in Norfall Barrens, but can also be seen in The Black Shores Archipelago and Tethys' Deep. We recommend visiting these areas to farm for this material.

Hidden Thunder Tacet Core is obtained from the overworld boss, Tempest Mephis. Tempest Mephis is located in the Qichi Village within the Central Plains area in Huanglong.
Tempest Mephis, just like its dropped material, is hidden in the Overworld and can be found underground. Look for the wind blowing upwards between its icon and the Resonance Nexus in the map. It can be accessed without much progression in the story.

Whisperin Core materials are obtained from certain enemies in Huanglong and the Black Shores. They are pretty common, so just take on any of these echoes if you see them while exploring.

Xiangli Yao's main forte material, Unending Destruction, will come from the weekly boss Scar. This boss is found in Qichi Village in Huanglong after clearing the main quest Chapter 1 Act 4: Clashing Blades. He is accessible via the Chaotic Juncture: Ember weekly challenge.

Xiangli Yao is a Gauntlet character, so their Cadence materials will come from Forgery Challenges. We suggest doing the Huanglong Forgery Challenges so you can also get his other material, Whisperin Core.
