Conquer the Weekly Bosses of Genshin Impact: A Comprehensive Guide

All-Devouring Narwhal

Location: Trounce Domain located underwater near the Court of Fontaine in Salacia Plains.

Stategies

As the Narwhal breaches the surface, prepare for a spectacle of aquatic fury. Powerful attacks and swift dodges will be your mantra. Here’s what to expect:

  • Rage Meter: Fill this meter with your attacks to enrage the Narwhal and trigger the next phase. Don’t let up the pressure!
  • Eye of the Maelstrom: If the rage meter isn’t filled before the Eye appears, focus on destroying it before continuing your assault.

An enraged Narwhal summons its shadowy counterpart, the Dark Shadow. This phase demands you to make a decision: choose to chip away at the Dark Shadow’s HP or break its shield using Pneuma and Ousia attacks. Both strategies lead to the same goal: weakening the Narwhal for a devastating DPS window.

Failure to vanquish the Narwhal initiates a second stage. Its attacks remain relentless, with occasional AoE jumps. Enrage it once more, but be prepared for a twist – the Narwhal engulfs you, transporting you to the Dark Shadow’s domain. Here, consistent disruption using Pneuma and Ousia is your key to victory.

Rewards

  • Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom
  • Lightless Mass
  • Northlander Billet
  • Berserker Artifacts
  • Instructor Artifacts

Genshin Impact Weekly Bosses 1

Strategies

Before diving into battle, remember that Azhdaha’s elemental affinity changes each week. Take a moment to observe the entrance of the Trounce Domain, as it will reveal the element Azhdaha will wield during your encounter. This element will grant Azhdaha resistance to corresponding attacks, so plan your team composition accordingly.

The battle against Azhdaha unfolds in three distinct phases:

  • Phase 1: Geo Onslaught: Azhdaha unleashes a series of slow but deceptive Geo attacks. Time your dodges precisely or utilize strong shields to avoid taking heavy damage.
  • Phase 2: Elemental Infusion: Azhdaha infuses itself with an additional element, significantly increasing its attack power. Be wary of ground-trampling attacks and elemental shockwaves. Shielding yourself from the infused element is crucial to prevent continuous damage.
  • Phase 3: Dual Elemental Fury: In the final phase, Azhdaha combines two elements, making all its attacks pose an elemental threat. This is where coordination and adaptability become paramount. Focus on strategic bursts of damage, quick switches between characters to counter different elements, and well-timed healing to emerge victorious.

Boreas

Location: West of Wolvendom, after Lupus Minor: Act One

Strategies

Boreas’ opening act focuses on swift attacks. Watch for his prowl animation, a telltale sign to unleash your offensive. Manage your stamina wisely, dodging his lunges and swipes. Listen for accompanying growls and howls, which often precede specific moves.

At half health, Boreas enters a more aggressive phase, charging around the arena. Avoid engaging him directly, as your attacks become less effective. Instead, focus on dodging his charges and anticipating his sudden stops, which signal an incoming attack followed by a frost drop and jump.

The final phase sees Boreas rooted in the center, unleashing a flurry of icy attacks. Be wary of his double claw swings, tail swipes, and hind leg stands. Icicles will also fall from above, so stay mobile and avoid getting caught under them.

Rewards

Guardian of Apep’s Oasis

For detailed strategies on tackling Guardian of Apep’s Oasis’s attacks and phases, check out this guide.

Childe

Location: Golden House of Liyue

Strategies

Anticipate his attacks based on his weapon form (bow or daggers). Breaking his Hydro shield with Pyro or Electro is key, and staggering him with Cryo creates counterattack opportunities.

As his HP dips below 1%, Childe transforms into his Electro form. Dodge frontal attacks and break the Electro shield to stagger him for counterattacks.

At 50% HP, Childe’s true power emerges. He combines Hydro and Electro with devastating potency, so prepare for teleports, Hydro whale summons, and one-shot attacks. Utilize ranged characters, shields, and heals for survival.

Rewards

  • Tusk of Monoceros Caeli
  • Shard of a Foul Legacy
  • Shadow of the Warrior
  • Dream Solvent
  • Northlander Billets
  • Berserker Artifacts
  • Instructor Artifacts
  • The Exile Artifacts

  • Varunada Lazurite Ascension Crystals
  • Vajrada Amethyst Ascension Crystals
  • Shivada Jade Ascension Crystals

La Signora

Location: Trounce Domain of Inazuma City

Strategies

La Signora’s battle revolves around an elemental gauge that rises with both Cryo and Pyro exposure. Be mindful of your bar; stay mobile during the Cryo phase to avoid getting frozen, utilizing hit-and-run tactics. Look for torches to warm up and remove the Cryo debuff if needed.

As La Signora’s health dwindles, she enters a Cryo cocoon. Gather Crimson Lotus Moths and attack the glowing weak points to crack the ice and continue the fight.

The Pyro phase tests your reflexes and strategy. La Signora’s attacks become swift and potent. Utilize shields to manage the Heat Bar, dodge strategically to create openings, and destroy torches to further reduce the heat.

Rewards

  • Molten Moment
  • Hellfire Butterfly
  • Ashen Heart
  • Dream Solvent
  • Northlander Billet
  • Berserker Artifacts
  • Instructor Artifacts
  • The Exile Artifacts

Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto

Location: Trounce Domain beneath the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Strategies

Before diving into the fray, assemble a team that can withstand the Electro onslaught. Opt for Pyro, Hydro, or Cryo characters to exploit elemental weaknesses, but don’t forget to bring along an Electro character for the final phase and a healer for survivability. Consider ranged attackers to deal damage safely while dodging the boss’s wide-reaching AoE attacks.

The battle against Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto is a dance of resilience and adaptation. Be prepared for shifting attacks and adjust your tactics accordingly:

  • Keep a watchful eye on the circle meter under the boss’s health bar. This signals an impending Electroculi attack. Destroy these Magatsu Electroculi swiftly to minimize damage and create opportunities for offense.
  • The second phase introduces new challenges. Beware of the explosive “Flowers of Remembrance” and dodge the shockwaves emanating from the “Ominous Pillars.”
  • Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto creates illusions of herself in the final phase. Discern the real Electro Shogun by looking for the active sword and unleash a powerful attack to stun her, opening a window for concentrated damage.
  • The ultimate test comes with the circular Electro AoEs. Constant movement and strategic healing are key to avoiding the devastating explosions. Remember, coordination and agility are your allies in this electrifying battle.

Rewards

  • Mudra of the Malefic General
  • Tears of the Calamitous God
  • The Meaning of Aeons
  • Dream Solvent
  • Northlander Billet
  • Berserker Artifacts
  • Instructor Artifacts
  • The Exile Artifacts
  • Gladiator’s Finale Artifacts
  • Wanderer’s Troupe Artifacts
  • Vajrada Amethyst Ascension Crystals

Scaramouche

Location: Trounce domain west of Sumeru City

Image via HoYoVerse

Strategies

The initial phase is shieldless, granting you the opportunity for unhindered damage. During this stage, unleash your arsenal of attacks to chip away at Scaramouche’s health. To navigate this phase successfully, deploy anemo abilities to avoid beam attacks and stay close to the boss to evade summoned whirlwinds.

The battleground is scattered with elemental matrices, each with distinct effects:

  • Use Pyro against Cryo
  • Use Cryo against Pyro
  • Use Anemo for evasion
  • Use Hydro for healing
  • Use Electro to suppress the boss

Strategically incorporate these elemental interactions into your attacks to gain an upper hand in the battle.

In the second phase, harness the power of scattered energy cores to charge the Neo Akasha Terminal. Once charged, target and fire at the boss’s shield to weaken it. Your objective after that is to prevent the summoning of a meteor attack.

To achieve this:

  • Destroy devices in the room’s center vulnerable to Dendro, Pyro, and Cryo.
  • Reactivate the Neo Akasha Terminal.
  • Target the boss’s chest to stun him.

Seize this opportunity to grapple to a platform and unleash a barrage of attacks, ultimately leading to the defeat of the formidable Balladeer.

Rewards

  • Puppet Strings
  • Mirror of Mushin
  • Daka’s Bell
  • Dream Solvent
  • Northlander Billet
  • Berserker Artifacts
  • Instructor Artifacts
  • The Exile Artifacts
  • Gladiator’s Finale Artifacts
  • Wanderer’s Troupe Artifacts
  • Vajrada Amethyst Ascension Crystals
  • Vayuda Torquoise Ascension Crystals
  • Varunada Lazurite Ascension Crystals

Stormterror

Location: Mondstadt, after Prologue Three

Strategies

During this phase, use Bow characters to target his weak points, the glowing horn on his head and claws. When his claws land on the platform, unleash Elemental Reactions for devastating damage. Be wary of his sweeping head attacks and Anemo projectile barrages.

When Dvalin rests on the platform, position yourself on the opposite side and unleash your characters’ full might to deplete his shield quickly. This creates an opportunity to climb his neck and deal significant damage.

The final phase mirrors the first, with Dvalin utilizing the same attacks. However, the platforms become hazardous, requiring swift movement and precise positioning. Avoid glowing platforms and utilize wind gusts to navigate between safe zones.

Rewards

  • Dvalin’s Plume
  • Dvalin’s Claw
  • Dvalin’s Sigh
  • Dream Solvent
  • Northlander Billets
  • Berserker Artifacts
  • Instructor Artifacts
  • The Exile Artifacts
