The new world boss Iniquitous Baptist in Genshin Impact can be challenging to defeat if you aren’t familiar with his mechanic. But with this guide’s help, vanquishing him will be a breeze.
Genshin Impact Guide – How to defeat the Iniquitous Baptist world boss
To find this boss, use the below teleport waypoint to enter the newly expanded Sumeru desert added in Version 3.6. When you arrive, turn right and jump off the cliff. You should come across a cave entrance with some green bulbs strewn about. Head inside and follow the path until you reach a large battlefield with some elemental wisps floating around.
Before you can deal damage to Iniquitous Baptist, you must first defeat his elemental totems. If the elemental totems are not defeated in time, they will explode and deal devastating damage. You can tell which elements the totems will be by checking the elemental wisps that are floating around before starting the fight.
If you defeat the elemental totems in time, the boss will be stunned, allowing you to deal a lot of damage in a short period of time. If you fail to destroy the totems, the boss will still spawn the three elemental shields. Although the shields degrade quickly, some elements remain more effective than others. Keep track of which shields the boss will spawn and bring at least one character who can counter each one.
We recommend that you form a team that includes a Cryo DPS capable of quick application and massive damage, such as Ayaka and Ganyu, an Anemo Viridescent Venerer support for increased damage, a Cryo sub-DPS, and Bennett, our Cryo/Electro shield breaker.
Overall, the battle came down to using the right tools to quickly melt or destroy the Iniquitous Baptist’s shield and stun him. So, don’t be afraid to go on the offensive, using your DPS/Sub-DPS to counter the Hydro shield and Bennett to bypass the Electro/Cryo shields and actively heal.
That’s everything you need to know to defeat the Iniquitous Baptist world boss in Genshin Impact.
