RELATED: The Weirdest Things You Can Actually Do In Genshin Impact

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 most difficult bosses they should be sure to prepare for.

Updated on July 28, 2022, by Nahda Nabiilah: Some Genshin Impact updates arrive with a new boss in tow. Whether it’s a normal boss or weekly ones, HoYoverse continues to come up with interesting mechanics to ensure variety between the fights. Some new enemies end up having rather simple mechanics and are easy to defeat, while others are so complex it’s easy to get lost. To add to the roster of this Genshin Impact boss difficulty tier list, here are a few more bosses that players may struggle with before they understand what they need to do.

14 Geo Hypostasis

There are currently six Hypostasis in Genshin Impact. Three of them were added recently, but 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.

13 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.

12 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 now extended.

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.

11 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 split 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.

10 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.

9 Maguu Kenki

Maguu Kenki is a humanoid swordsman. It’s a machine that malfunctioned and lost control. Previously, this boss is 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

8 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.

7 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.

6 Childe

So far, this is the only weekly boss that’s also a playable character. Tartaglia’s “Childe” has three phases in his boss fights, so it’s important to recognize them all.

The first phase is his normal fighting stance: Hydro Vision. In this phase, Childe is not very dangerous and can easily be beaten. After defeating him here, he will enter his second phase: Electro Delusion. In this phase, Childe will obtain the power of Electro and will more actively attack while moving, so players should learn to avoid his attacks. The simple way to do this is by running (not sprinting) in a circle.

In the last phase, Childe will enter the “Foul Legacy” state. Here, he will wield three different weapons and two different elements. Childe will also continuously move, so players will need to properly time their ultimate.

5 Azhdaha

Azhdaha is an even larger version of Primo Geovishap. This weekly boss has a long history with Zhongli, where the Geo Archon has to seal him after erosion corrupts the dragon.

Just like the typical Geovishap, a fight with Azhdaha can be trivialized by having a shielder in the team. Without it, players will have a hard time against this hard-hitting boss. Although, defeating Azhdaha without gaining a shield does grant a shiny achievement and some Primogems.

In every fight, Azhdaha will adopt two elements between Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo. This boss has 70% Geo Resistance, 40% Physical Resistance, and 10% Resistance to other elements. So players might want to refrain from using Geo and Physical attacks against Azhdaha.

4 Andrius

This weekly boss is certainly one of the hardest. Andrius moves continuously and deals high damage in a massive AOE. Additionally, this boss is immune to both Cryo and Anemo damage. To beat Andrius, players need to learn to dodge his attacks. He has a small animation before each strike, giving players enough time to react.

After bringing him to 50% HP, Andrius will enter the second stage of the fight. Here, he will remain in one spot, making it easier to attack him. However, his attacks also become more violent. Avoid using Barbara in this stage, since her “wet” system will easily Freeze the players. On the other hand, catalyst users like Lisa and Ningguang have a large range, so they can hit the wolf outside his hitbox. Lastly, having a shield character will allow players to safely use melee attacks against this Dominator of Wolves.

3 La Signora

Signora is a new weekly boss available in Genshin Impact 2.1. This boss fight reveals a lot of things about the mysterious Harbinger and serves as the first major death in Genshin Impact. Just like the fight with Childe, Signora also has a Vision and Delusion phase.

At first, Signora will wield the Cryo Delusion, creating Sheer Cold all over the domain. Players have to keep an eye on this to ensure their character won’t die from cold. After Signora’s HP is really low, she will shield herself in an Ice Cocoon. Players have to use elemental reactions like Melt to destroy it. Players can also pick up the Crimson Lotus Moths to deal Pyro damage on the Cocoon.

After destroying the Cocoon, La Signora will wield the Pyro element. Now, instead of Sheer Cold, Blazing Heat will accumulate in the field. It’s the same system as Sheer Cold, but it’s hot instead of cold. In the domain, players can find stones in the corner. If players stand next to these stones, it will slowly lower the Sheer Cold or Blazing Heat effect. Players can also destroy the stones to instantly get rid of the temperature debuff.

2 Oceanid

Oceanid has brought so much hassle into players’ lives that a lot of people choose to lower their World Level to beat her easily. Rhodeia, the Oceanid of Qingce, does not fight players directly. Instead, she summons Hydro Mimics that players must defeat.

Since her minions are all Hydro, players can utilize Cryo attacks for perma-freeze. Additionally, Pyro can deal massive damage with Vaporize, and Electro is the MVP here with its Electro-charged. However, the most important thing to remember in Oceanid fights is to bring a character that can kill the Hawk Mimics. These flying creatures can’t be reached by melee attacks, so players should bring bow-users or long-range catalyst characters.

1 Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto (Raiden Shogun)

The Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto is a Genshin Impact weekly boss fight against Raiden Shogun. Not the Electro Archon one, but rather the puppet that was meant to serve her. As Ei slowly starts to give up on the idea of eternity, the Shogun puppet defies its master and persists in defending eternity on Inazuma. To convince the puppet to obey Ei again, the Electro Archon has to fight it for many years.

As a vessel for an Archon, the Raiden Shogun put up a hard fight. If players fail to defeat the boss before it enters the Baleful Shadowlord form​​​​​​, people will have to trigger Elemental Reactions to destroy its Electro shield. Pyro and Cryo attacks are the most effective for this job. The Raiden Shogun also has several unique mechanics. For example, the boss has two weapons, the Musou Isshin and Engulfing Lightning. The weapon she uses will change her moveset in the battle, and she will switch weapons occasionally, making it important to pay attention to which weapon Raiden Shogun is wielding.

Furthermore, the weekly boss also has a special move that will result in a guaranteed death if not nullified. For this, players have to destroy an Electro Orb by using Elemental attacks. Using Electro hits is the fastest way to activate the Orb. Unlike most bosses, the Raiden Shogun is not immune or resistant to Electro, so it’s safe to bring the Element to the domain.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
