Tidalya in Genshin impact - algae from Fontaine, which look like zooplankton, but actually belong to the plant family. Once harvested, the flowers can be exchanged for a reward at a blacksmith located in the Hydro region. There are "jellyfish" only in hard-to-reach places - groundwater, where there is little light.
In this guide, we will tell you where to find and buy tidals, what they are for, and how you can get useful materials in other ways.
What does Tidalia look like?
Tidals are small bright blue algae that look like jellyfish. They have a pink center and some darker petals around the edges. They live and feed on those substances that other underwater plants secrete, drift along the waves and are found only in underground waters. Like any other resources, they are marked with a yellow spark in the open world.
Preparing to farm Tidalya
Before you go to farm resources, we advise you to thoroughly prepare - gather a squad and the necessary dishes. They can greatly speed up the process, make it easier to travel in the open world and overcome various obstacles.
Featured Characters
Review the list and add the right characters to the team, who, with their useful talents, can help to quickly collect plants. Someone helps to move faster around the map, someone with the help of skills climbs rocks faster, in any case, their presence in the squad will be useful.

Where to find Tidalya in Genshin Impact: farming routes
Tidalya can only be found in water-covered areas of Fontaine. Algae is found in almost all areas of the region in small clusters, and from each collection point you can get 1 unit of resource. In Fontaine you can find 283 tidalia pieces.
Chemin de Lesport
Chemin de Lespor has a large number of the desired plants. First, move to the nearest teleport at Cours de Fontaine and move towards the northwest to pick up the "jellyfish" near the shallow water. Then swim south and continue to the east. Next, teleport to the southern point and look for algae on the opposite hills, as well as in the crevice. There are two more collection points in the northwest of the region.
Elton depression
You can find algae along the Elton Basin and on large green leaves near the teleports. First, explore the waters around the northern waypoint, and then move to the southern waypoint and pick up the resource above it. In addition, there are two gathering points inside Poisson Village, an underground location in the Belleau District. Use the teleport in the village and go down to the pond. Dive down there to find the tidalia floating in the waters.
Salos sea plateau
Tidalia can be found in the largest underwater part of the Cour de Fontaine. Head to the northeast teleporter on the Salos Sea Plateau and swim to the cluster to the north, then west to another rally point. Next, teleport west from the Epicles Opera House and collect a few pieces in the east, then head west. At the southwestern teleporter, collect more tidals.
Talat underwater valley
There are several small accumulations in the Talat underwater valley. Use the waypoint and collect tidals at the teleporter and to the east of it. Then head north and visit the clusters on the right side near the seaweed. Next, pick up more plants under the Hydro Archon Statue.
Eastern slope of Mont Esus
There are two convenient collection routes in the Eastern Slope area of Mont Esus.
First, start from the underwater teleport in the center of the Great Lake and swim east, collecting algae. Before the tower, change direction to southwest and move along the hill to the west. Having reached the hole in the ground, swim inside where he lived spiky bubble, and overcome the entire cave. Swim out the other side to the outside Meropida fortress and move east. There, near the pipes, you will see a hole at the bottom, through which you can get into the underwater space of the prison, where there are also tidalia collection points.
The northern Liffey District has one of the largest concentrations of tidalia that are easy to collect. Use the teleport under Seahorse of a thousand-year-old pearl and head southeast, pick up the seaweed and make a detour, returning to the teleporter. Then grab the plants in the cluster to the north and continue sailing towards the edge of the map. Collect tidals in the seaweed around the huge rock whose top emerges from the water, and end the route in the southwest near the cave entrance.
Institute of Kinetic Energy
The Institute of Kinetic Energy has a small amount of tidalia. From the teleport near the shore, dive into the water and swim along the gorge to the southwest. Continue picking up seaweed as you swim past the underwater teleporter until you reach the tower.
Weeping willow by the lake
Rally points are located under the Weeping Willow near the lake. First, teleport south from the tree and dive into the pond, where you will collect tidals at the roots. From this part you can get into two more tunnels with the necessary algae. Head north and get the plants. Then go back and now move into the southeast tunnel. In it, collect more items in the part with armored crabs. Now teleport to the Path in the Misty Forest and enter the pond in the cave to the north, where another rally point exists.
Port Lumidus
In the areas around Porta Lumidus, tidals grow along a convenient route. It is enough to teleport north from the port and swim along the gorge all the way to Mort, collecting the necessary blue algae along the way.
Mort
There are several large clusters in the northern part of Mort. Teleport to the north of the Ruins of Fort Charybdis and go under the water, you will find tidals near the shore. Next, go to the underwater teleport at the Hydro Archon Statue and, after collecting several pieces from outside, swim to the ruins to the north. The entrance to them opens during the quest chain "Mother of the Muses". There will be one gathering spot almost immediately, then head deeper into where more tidals are swimming.
Another tidalia collection point is located in the underwater ruins in the southeast of Mort, which open during the quest "Thalia and Melpomene". After completing the task, go to the underwater teleportation point and move into the ruins. Inside the room you will find a large cluster around the perimeter of the main room of the Personal Ortant.
How long does it take for Tidalya to recover
After harvesting, algae will appear in the same places when enough time has passed for the materials to regenerate - 1-2 real days. If you do not want to wait so long, and you need flowers urgently, then go to the world of other players in cooperative mode and try farming thidalium there. Don't forget to mark their location on your map with icons so you can return there later.
Where to buy Tidalya
Like almost any other resource, you can get tidal not only by farming in the open world, but also by buying it in a special outlet.
Hinterman
Sells seaweed to an NPC named Hinterman. It is located in the Belleau District, at the entrance to Poisson Village. To get to the merchant, rise from the underground teleporter in the location and look for him near the tent on the iron building.
In total, you can purchase up to 10 resource units once a week. Price for each seaweed - 240 Mora.
How to get Tidal for free
There is another way to acquire a resource that does not require any purchase or searching in the wild.

It is possible to acquire tidal through the Expeditions option from any Katerina. Send the hero to the Salos Sea Plateau in Fontaine, and after some time he will bring the treasured materials. For the maximum duration of the expedition, you will receive from 8 to 12 algae, and you can repeat such a sortie daily.

Perhaps this is relevant only for the duration of the event Historical memory: Heritage of the water nation, but tidal in the amount of 5 pcs. can be collected at the point indicated by the guide. Whether it is resolved there and whether it will be later, I don’t know, but completing the task is easier than using an interactive map.
