Conquer the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire in Genshin Impact: A Comprehensive Guide
Genshin Impact's Natlan Archon Quest introduces a formidable foe: the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire. This challenging boss fight requires strategic preparation and execution. This guide details how to locate and defeat this powerful dragon.
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. This domain, a shrine commemorating Natlan's fallen, offers rewards using 30 Original Resin for the first three weekly boss encounters. Access requires completion of the Archon Quest's final chapter, "When All Becomes A Monument," or alternatively, via the Quick Challenge in the Adventurer's Handbook.
Defeating the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire
Success hinges significantly on utilizing Natlan characters like Mavuika, Kinich, Citlali, Mualani, etc. While the dragon remains largely stationary, it summons three pillars and three Tenebrous Mimiflora. Efficient pillar destruction is crucial.
Prioritize Pillar Destruction with Nightsoul Blessings
While other characters can destroy the pillars, Natlan characters wielding Nightsoul Blessings significantly expedite the process. Rapid pillar destruction prevents the devastating Eroded Meteor attack. Immobilizing the dragon for approximately 10 seconds provides a critical damage window. However, even with optimal strategies, pillar destruction speed varies depending on the character used. During the meteor animation, activate shields and immediately switch to a healer to mitigate the substantial corrosion damage. Without a shield, a one-shot kill is possible even at full HP. Healers like Furina and Kokomi are highly effective; Kuki, Barbara, and Bennett offer viable alternatives.
Master Dodge Techniques and Utilize Strategic Positioning
Dodging the dragon's unpredictable attacks is challenging. Its smoke transformation and frantic attack sequences demand precise movement. When the battlefield is reduced by the dragon's attacks, staying close and attacking from underneath becomes a viable, albeit risky, strategy. This requires consistent healing to counter the corrosion from the Eroded Dragon Breath attack, which inflicts Pyro and Erosion DMG. Staying near the dragon's hands provides temporary respite from the Dragon Breath's full range. Remember to heal immediately after sword slashes to counteract the Erosion effect. A strong healer is indispensable for this fight.
Leverage Co-Op Mode for Easier Victory
Regardless of your roster, Co-Op Mode offers significant advantages, particularly during the pillar phase. The 'Match' button facilitates team-up opportunities for a smoother fight. While lacking multiple phases, the fight demands considerable time and strategic prowess.
