Dewdrop hunting in Fontaine isn't your grandma's afternoon stroll - it's a full-blown underwater obstacle course where even the coral seems to giggle at your flailing swim animations. These shy little Spring of the First Dewdrops play the world's most frustrating game of hide-and-seek across Morte region's kelp forests, with exactly 72 blue-glowing treasures teasing players from beneath Fontaine's waves. Forget mountain climbing; here you'll wrestle with depth perception while crustacean sentries eyeball your loot-grabbing attempts like overzealous mall cops. And bless Teyvat for teleport waypoints, because swimming these routes without 'em would make even Aquaman throw his trident in frustration.

🌊 The Morte Mer-Maze: Your Dewdrop Treasure Map

Start your aquatic safari at the Teleport Waypoint south of Tower of Gestalt where the real fun begins:

• Eastward Expedition: Spin your camera east for three instant prizes - two lounging on glowing blue coral like beach bums, and a third playing solo further down

• Westward Waddle: Zip back to Waypoint and head west for two more dangling above funky blue algae - nature's weirdest chandeliers

• Shell Game: Swim upward then further west to discover two cheeky ones hiding inside a Huge Shell by ancient ruins (because obviously)

🔁 The Fork in the Water: Dual Dewdrop Highways

When you hit the route split, choose your adventure:

🧜♀️ Outward Bound Route

1. Swim east/up past blue algae cliffs (grab 2)

2. Scale giant flowers (snag 3)

3. Chase Xenochromatic Hat Jellyfish (2 more)

Colloquial wisdom: "This path's easier than stealing candy from a Cryo Slime!"

🤿 Downward Dogma Route

• Plunge directly down to pink corals (1)

• Westward drift for "floating freebies" (2)

• Shell scavenger hunt (2 in shell + 1 at coral)

• Spiral upward collecting 4-6 more while octopi watch

❓ People Also Ask: Dewdrop Dilemmas

• "Can I use Sayu to roll underwater?"

Nope! Hydro characters get mobility bonuses though - Neuvillette practically glides through these routes like a torpedo.

• "Why do crabs guard them like dragon hoards?"

They're hoping to trade them for better real estate - everyone wants that prime coral reef view!

• "Will Navia actually thank me?"

She'll give that polite Fontaine smile while internally screaming "FINALLY!" at your 72nd dewdrop delivery.

💡 Pro-Tier Treasure Tactics

1. Equip Hydro Resonance for that sweet swim speed boost

2. Activate elemental sight frequently - dewdrops glow brighter than a Dendro slime's bad hair day

3. Time your dives with daily reset cycles to avoid respawn rage

Personification alert: Those Huge Shells aren't just containers - they're basically the dewdrops' gated communities with strict HOA rules against surface-dwellers!

So next time you're drowning in material grind frustration, remember: this watery wild goose chase is Teyvat's way of saying "get wet or go home." At least after snagging that 72nd shimmering prize, you can finally tell Navia her rock collection is complete - and watch her ascend like the queen she is. Talk about a splashy finale!
