Genshin Impact is filled with various kinds of enemies. These come in several categories, such as Common Enemies, Elite Enemies, World Boss, and Weekly Boss. Genshin Impact constantly releases new enemies and bosses along with the new version.
The 10 Weirdest Things You Can Actually Do In Genshin Impact
Players can do all kinds of cool things in Genshin Impact. But you'd be surprised to see just how much strangeness is hidden away in the game.
Some of these bosses are easy to beat. Others, not so much. Some can bring horror even to late-game players, due to how hard they hit and how much they move. To help guide players in their adventure, here are some examples of the hardest bosses in Genshin Impact that they should be sure to prepare for.
Updated on October 10, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: Many expansions of Sumeru are released before Fontaine finally comes in 4.0, and throughout the new areas, at least one new boss is added, which means more difficult bosses now exist in the land of Teyvat. Not only Normal Enemies like the underwater creatures, but World Boss and Weekly Boss are now more abundant as well. Therefore, this list is updated to include some of the hardest additions, like the Scaramouche Weekly Boss, the elusive ASIMON, and the not-so-robotic Icewind Suite.
18 Geo Hypostasis
There are seven Hypostasis in Genshin Impact, which means one of every element is available. However, originally, there were three Hypostasis: Anemo, Geo, and Electro. Geo Hypostasis is the most annoying element of the original three since it protects itself with a
Basalt Pillar.
To deal damage, players will have to destroy these pillars. This will bring the Hypostasis down from high ground, making it vulnerable to attacks. Players can also use ranged characters to try and gain the upper hand. Catalyst users can work, but they mostly will aim at the pillars. Instead, use a bow character that focuses on charged attack for damage, like
Ganyu.
17 Cryo Regisvine
This large version of Whopperflower is a hassle in the early game. Unlike its Pyro counterpart, Cryo Regisvine is more aggressive with its attacks. If players take too long in killing the boss, the creature will spread Cryo all over the arena, causing damage and debuffs for the players.
To deal with it effectively, players will have to break its Cryo core first. To do so, players should use Pyro, since it's the most effective element to break Cryo shields. After the Cryo Regisvine falls, players can finally deal proper damage to kill the boss quickly.
16 Pyro Hypostasis
Pyro Hypostasis is the fourth Hypostasis boss in Genshin Impact. This boss is released in Genshin Impact 2.0, but there's a minor change in version 2.1. Previously, the window to extinguish Fire Seeds was very short, but it's later extended.
Genshin Impact: 10 Most Useful Passive Abilities
Passive abilities can make all the difference in Genshin Impact. These are the best ones in the game.
To defeat the Pyro Hypostasis, players have to first break its Pyro shield. Hydro Catalyst users like
Mona and
Barbara can do this job perfectly. After that, it's the same drill as the other Hypostasis: Attack when the core is revealed. However, there's one important thing to note about this enemy. Unlike other Hypostasis that has a "pre-death" phase, Pyro Hypostasis has a phase to regain the Pyro shield. In this phase, players have to quickly extinguish the Fire Seeds with one Hydro attack.
15 Perpetual Mechanical Array
Perpetual Mechanical Array is an automaton boss that resides in Inazuma. The battle against this boss is actually simple, but if players don't understand how to beat the Perpetual Mechanical Array in Genshin Impact, then the task can become grueling.
To beat the PMA, players have to keep attacking the boss. Eventually, at around 30% HP, the enemy will enter a defensive state, where the automaton splits into smaller robots, and players have to defeat the marked enemy. Once the marked robot is defeated, the Perpetual Mechanical Array will enter a weakened state and players can unleash their best hits to quickly finish the boss.
14 Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network
Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network, usually abbreviated as ASIMON, is a boss in the desert of Genshin Impact Sumeru. Fighting this boss is quite easy until it enters its invisibility state. Since the boss is invisible, and not invincible, there are three ways people can remove the invisibility:
- Hit the main body with Quicken
- Destroy the components that appear with Electro
- Wait until it returns visible
This boss is mostly easy, but it gets annoying in content like Spiral Abyss as it forces people to have at least one Electro character if they wish to complete the challenge quickly.
13 Iniquitous Baptist
Iniquitous Baptist in Genshin Impact is an Abyss Lector-like enemy, but unlike the Abyss Lector and Abyss Herald, Iniquitous Baptist can manipulate multiple elements. When fighting this boss, players must bring a counter to three out of four possible elements the boss will bear (this can be seen from the color that floats around the arena before the battle starts). Due to the various attributes the boss has, it can be tough for people who don't have characters of various Visions.
Fortunately, people can always bring elements that work against multiple attributes. For instance, Dendro can counter both Electro and Hydro swiftly, while Pyro helps against Cryo and Electro.
12 Thunder Manifestation
Released in version 2.1, players have to go through a long quest to unlock Thunder Manifestation in Genshin Impact. Although sharing a resemblance with Qingce's Oceanid, Thunder Manifestation is by no means a similar creature. It is said that the one on Amakumo Peak was created by Kanna Kapatcir's resentment.
There's no special method to defeat this Electro creature, but its attacks are one of the hardest ones to avoid. This enemy would also teleport constantly, making it hard to land precious hits on it. To beat Thunder Manifestation in Genshin Impact, it's highly recommended to use units that have long-ranged attacks. Additionally, Electro characters are also useless against it as Thunder Manifestation is immune to Electro.
11 Maguu Kenki
Maguu Kenki is a humanoid swordsman. It's a machine that malfunctioned and lost control. Previously, this boss was available in the Golden Apple Archipelago in Genshin Impact 1.6. However, after the island is no longer available, Maguu Kenki is now available in Inazuma.
To defeat Maguu Kenki, players have to be aware of all his moves. Before he lunges his attacks, he will enter a stance. Maguu Kenki also summons a phantom over time, so players need to keep their eyes on the real Maguu Kenki. Moreover, this boss also has a lot of i-frame where he'll be invulnerable to any attack.
10 Dvalin
The "Stormterror" Dvalin is the first weekly boss players will encounter. A lot of players struggle with this fight for two reasons. They don't know how to break his shield, and they don't know how to attack the "Bloodclot", the purple item that's corrupting Dvalin.
To remove Dvalin's shield, players can either shoot him in the air with a bow character or wait until he does a "bite" and "breath" move. He briefly lands when he bites and also lands for a few seconds when he breathes. Players can attack
Dvalin's Claw during this time to break his shield. Afterward, players can climb Dvalin's neck after he falls, and attack the Bloodclot using melee attacks.
9 Primo Geovishap
Primo Geovishap is a new World Boss introduced in Genshin Impact 1.3. This creature is the mature version of Geovishaps. It is larger and more powerful, though it has one major weakness.
To easily defeat the Primo Geovishap, players must bring a shielder to their team. When the boss performs the move "Primordial Shower", a prompt will appear to tell players to put up their shield. If the shield is strong enough to withstand the attack, the boss takes damage instead of the players. Furthermore, if the shield element matches the creature's element (or if it's Geo), the damage Primo Geovishap takes will be even higher.
