The addition of a new weekly boss, Guardian of Apep Oasis, is one of the most noticeable changes in Genshin Impact 3.6. This guide will walk you through the process of unlocking and defeating it.
Genshin Impact Guide – How to unlock the Guardian of Apep Oasis boss
The Guardian appears at the end of Nahida’s second Story Quest, “Sapientia Oromasdis Chapter Act II: Homecoming.” To access the quest, you must have reached Adventure Rank 40 and completed the final Sumeru Archon Quest “Chapter III: Act V – Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises.”
Also, you have to complete all of The Chasm’s World Quests up until “Perils in the Dark” to move on to the second step. Completing Nahida’s first Act is not required, but if you start it, you must finish it before the second Act appears. After completing the final step of the quest, you will be able to challenge the Guardian of Apep Oasis in a new Domain in the Desert of Hadramaveth.

The fight of the Guardian differs greatly from the story version. It now hits like a truck, has gained some extra health, and has also learned a few new tricks during its final phase. Aside from increased bulk and some painful slaps, the first thing you’ll notice is a new attack in which he slams the ground and summons various corruption balls. Avoid them at all costs.
There will be a wide variety of creatures appearing during the Heart of Oasis phase. The root-like monster will use Dendro shields to protect his minions, so keep an eye on him. You can quickly bring these minions down with Pyro and Electro, but destroying the root will remove all shields at once. Kill those monsters until the Heart’s health reaches 100%.
The Guardian’s final form is dangerous but not insurmountable. Occasionally it will cause rumbles on the ground that lead up to a larger explosion. When the message “Enter the Shield of Revival’s Hymn” appears on your screen, you should immediately go find the green dome and remain inside until you know it’s safe to leave.
Most of its other attacks involve explosions on the ground, but it may also use a variety of vines, some of which are lethal on their own. If a strand of what looks like DNA appears to be circling the boss, you should immediately begin fleeing until the attack subsides. It will mostly repeat its attacks from here until you finally bring it down.
The main rewards are his Weekly Boss drops, which are required to level Talents for various characters such as Baizhu and Kaveh. Hopefully, he’ll also drop some Dream Solvents to assist you in transforming the useless drops into the ones you’ll need.
That wraps up everything you need to know to unlock and defeat the Guardian of Apep Oasis boss in Genshin Impact.
