Genshin Impact: Lord of Eroded Primal Fire Boss Guide

Conquer the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire in Genshin Impact: A Comprehensive Guide

Genshin Impact's Natlan Archon Quest introduces a formidable weekly boss: the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire. This challenging dragon boss boasts unique mechanics, requiring strategic preparation and execution. This guide details how to locate and defeat this powerful adversary.

Locating the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire

The Lord of Eroded Primal Fire resides within the Stone Stele Records domain, situated south of the Statue of Seven near the Masters of the Night-Wind tribe. Access requires completion of the Archon Quest's final chapter, "When All Becomes A Monument," or utilizing the Quick Challenge option in the Adventurer's Handbook. Entering the domain costs 30 Original Resin per attempt (for the first three bosses of the week).

Strategies for Victory

Success hinges significantly on utilizing Natlan characters like Mavuika, Kinich, Citlali, Mualani, etc., due to their synergy with the fight's mechanics. The battle involves three key phases:

1. Destroying the Pillars:

The Lord of Eroded Primal Fire summons three pillars and three Tenebrous Mimiflora. While other characters can destroy the pillars, Natlan characters with Nightsoul Blessings significantly expedite this process. Rapidly breaking the pillars immobilizes the dragon for roughly 10 seconds, creating a critical damage window. Failure to break the pillars swiftly will result in an Eroded Meteor attack, necessitating a strong shield and consistent healing. Healers such as Furina, Kokomi, Kuki, Barbara, or Bennett are crucial for survival during this phase.

2. Dodging Attacks and Utilizing Ground Advantage:

The dragon's attacks are unpredictable and intense. While dodging is challenging, staying close to the dragon and attacking from underneath during its smoke phase can be effective. Its attacks include devastating sword slashes and smashes that significantly reduce the arena's size. The Eroded Dragon Breath attack inflicts Pyro and Erosion DMG, demanding robust shielding and healing. Staying near the dragon's hands can help avoid the full force of the breath attack.

3. Cooperative Play:

Co-op mode is highly recommended, especially if lacking Natlan characters. The added support, particularly from players with Nightsoul Blessing characters, greatly simplifies the pillar destruction phase. Utilize the "Match" button in the domain to team up with other players.

The Lord of Eroded Primal Fire fight is demanding but conquerable with careful planning, character selection, and strategic execution. Remember, a strong healer is indispensable for survival.
